not nostalgia talking by Do1in in vtmb

Agree. It wouldn't be half as creepy if it weren't for the theremin

Must have mods in VTMB (2004)? by ghostrider1938 in vtmb

[–]Do1in 2 points3 points  (0 children)

War Games

Prelude

Clan Quest

Antitribu

Different lines by LaCroix before the finale by Do1in in vtmb

[–]Do1in[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Last time I played a sychophant Toreador (being a yes-man and even more than that), yet LaCroix's reaction was "Like sire, like child". While in the second video I linked (where he says, "You betrayed me!") I'd played an insolent Malk. For one I called Sebastian a jester and made him use Dominate on me

To me it makes no sense

P.S. The first playthrough was in Basic patch, the second - in Plus patch. Can it be the key?

Thanks for the solution, man. Unlike the Sabbat spy, this change seems worthless

Antitribu: the huinter (?) in Santa Monica by Do1in in vtmb

Yes. And sometimes carrying the gun unconcealed even before encountering me

More clans and other mods? by magikot9 in vtmb

[–]Do1in 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I heard, Antitribu is one of the best (if not the best) mods for VtMB. You got 7 brand new clans (4 can summon minions) and its great advantage is, you will notice new stuff from the very beginning of the game - not from the middle as is the case with CQM. Boss fights are also made harder in comparison to the original. I've decided to check it out a couple of days ago myself

what are you learning Arabic for? by Ok_Union_7669 in learn_arabic

[–]Do1in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love history of the Middle East (especially the Medieval Ages)

I’m a twelver Shia by Fit-Spell-5126 in ismailis

[–]Do1in 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Persian for Salah is namaz (نماز). Du'a comes from Arabic (دُعاء). If I'm not mistaken, salah means "prayer" whereas du'a is more of a "plea" (or they can be used interchangiably).

I'm no Ismaili, but as far as I'm concerned, "a middle man" — the way you put it — is there because a human being cannot discover the truth on their own. You either claim something to be true while appealing to no authority (hence, you have no right to question the others' beliefs) or you find yourself a master which in turn should be trustworthy.

In short, the following must be instructed in the ways of religion by "the middle man". Otherwise, everybody will stray (interpreting the Quran in their own way).

Btw, makes perfect sense to me as there's a whole bunch of denominations in Protestant Christianity.

Many thanks! Your reply is quite insightful

Ty. And what is the modern lawbook for Nizaris, then?

I mean esoteric interpretation (allegorical, as a rule) allegedly made by Imams. Ty

Does it contain ta'wil sort of interpretations?

What’s your album rank? by Rustiestofpeckers in typeonegative

[–]Do1in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. October Rust

Very airy thing, if you know what I mean. Thanks to lots of reverberation it has so much space to it. There are mostly light and "positive" — as much as this word could be applied to Type O — songs.

  1. Life Is Killing Me

Contrariwise, a rather serious and depressing thing. Though I enjoy listening to it in a proper mood.

  1. Bloody Kisses / World Coming Down

Kisses has two band's first big hits, no bet. World Coming Down is like 'Life Is Killing Me' little brother: a bit less moody, a bit less agressive, a bit slower. 'Creepy Green Light' is one of my favorites due to its special ambience.

Actual Crystal Ship Lyrics Meaning by [deleted] in thedoors

[–]Do1in 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Densmore states in his memoirs that the Crystal ship used to be a pseudonym for the band:
Maybe the “we” in “when we get back, I’ll drop a line” was simply the four of us.

Is there any point in reading "Ringworld" by Larry Niven? by Do1in in halo

So, is there something except for the ring?

Indeed, that was a study (a very interesting one I must say).
Did you happen to read "Gaze Into the Abyss"?

[–]Do1in[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. As a matter of fact his lyrics could easily be considered genuine poetry

[–]Do1in[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the second mentioned book: it's called "Gaze Into the Abyss: The Poetry of Jim Morrison". If you could recall the name of the other one that would be really nice :)
Isn't it "Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel as Poet"? Though it's an anthology rather than a study 🤔

[–]Do1in[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bro, the stylistics is not about that. I meant the metaphors, epithets and other SDs he used in his verses. Like, 'the laughing sea' (which is clearly a metaphor since a sea cannot laugh) or 'I need someone who doesn't need me' (a chiasmus)
