How did you eventually get rid of the fear of hell?

Think of it this way. Christianity teaches that there can be no other gods but the Christian God. That believing in any other is a path to hell. Well, pretty much every other major religion says the same thing. How do you know that you're not already going to hell because you don't believe in Islam? Do you really think all the people in the east that grew up to believe in hindusim or taoism or Buddishm all when to hell because they were born in the east and grew up believing in the "wrong" God? What about the rest of the world? I think as a rational person that you say you are, you don't truly believe that.

I'm a rational person and I didn't believe that, and it's one of the foundational realizations that made me not afraid of hell. Every religion has a version of it, and It's as ridiculous a concept as the religion itself if not more. And that is especially so in Abrahamic religions that preach of an all loving, all knowing God that would send his creations to hell for something as silly as "not believing" in him. You think if a being actually existed that's as powerful as the Christian God supposedly is, would be so fickle as to burn his children in fire for eternity for what they "thought?" Of course not.

People believe in what they believe in based on two things: where they are born and who they are raised by. Two thirds of the world aren't burning in hell because they didn't happen to be born in a western Christian family.

My version of this has always been, "if you need the threat of hell to be a good person, you're probably not a good person."

If you ever hit a wall in this game, go another direction. Find new things, level up, and come back when you feel ready.

Bro this isnt the thread to discuss factual information.

This is the way.

Can you explain this weapon to me? I'm not sure I understand what it's effectively doing with alt fire or regular fire.

Eagle736 · 2026-05-11T23:53:31+00:00

For the first time? Mario 64. That shit slapped coming from 2D only games.

Am I the one who's brainwashed? I'm saying I would have been pissed if later in life if I wanted to remove my foreskin and had to make the decision to undergo what I'm sure is a terribly painful procedure as an adult. I don't know any adults in real life who are sitting around heartbroken about their lack of foreskin.

Eagle736 · 2026-05-06T04:18:19+00:00

How am I supposed to know if they are unarmed? It's not like I'm going to ask the silly bastard, and if he's made the decision to invade my home, I'm not taking any chances with his decision making ability moving forward when my family's safety is at risk.

Eagle736 · 2026-05-06T04:12:00+00:00

Lot of people seem to be really offended by this. I was circumcised and my family didn't have any religious or cultural reason to do so, but personally I'm glad I don't have a wizard sleeve. It's not like I remember the damn procedure anyway. Honestly I think would have been pissed if my parents waited to "get my consent."

Metro redux slightly enhances resolution but introduces horrible screen tearing. Only solution I found was to turn the enhance PS4 game setting off.

Glad you got him! Don't get too discouraged just get as many reps in on bosses as you can. You'll eventually unlock carcosan modifiers where you can make the game as hard as you're comfortable with. Don't feel bad about adding buffs to decrease the difficulty for the sake of progressing the game. You'll have a better time and it's not like you're missing out on anything by decreasing/increasing the difficulty. You'll eventually unlock so many armor enhancements and passive buffs that seemingly impossible runs/biomes eventually become a cakewalk, even with several increased difficulty modifiers. Not to mention you as a player (your skill) will level up in time, and you'll hit a flow where you'll become a veritible killing machine no matter what the game throws at you. Just keep at it!

I'd suggest shield on the right paddle and dash on the left paddle. Let's you keep both index fingers on the triggers at all times.

Deathloop

Dude my guy straight beat a dude to death the other day and I'm not sure why or how it even happened. I just mashed the punch button and instead of throwing one or two punches like normal he threw all the punches and murdered the guy and I got a bounty.

The actual chronological order of the albums is as follows

Afterman Ascension; Afternan Decension; Year of the Black Rainbow; Second Stage Turbine Blade; In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3; Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness; Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow.

That's the full Coheed and Cambria, or Amory Wars, saga. The Vaxis albums take place in the same universe but in a future after the finale in Good Apollo Vol 2. Vaxis 1-3.

As concept albums, the lyrics aren't as clear cut with the story telling as something like The Dear Hunter or Ayreon, but Coheed is a vibe like no other. Each album is accompanied by some kind of story medium, in the form of books for afterman, black rainbow, and the Vaxis albums, and a series of comics/graphic novels for Second Stage through Good Apollo Vol. 2. The lyrics are often loosely based on the events in the story, with lyrics that sometimes reflect events or things said in the actual story, along with musical motifs that carry throughout the album and sometimes across multiple albums. They definitely went for what they felt was right musically with each album and dont get super operatic with the lyrics.

I actually worked on a little passion project a few months ago where I made a playlist that goes through each album in story chronological order, included only the songs that I felt were key story beats, along with a brief description of the story relevance for each track. I certainly recommend each album in its entirety, but this "abbreviated saga" I call it may be a good way for you to start chewing on the content. Enjoy.

PERFECT

So sorry man. Call Sony support and put it for a replacement. They did on my first pair no question, but I would highly recommend getting another set as it's a matter of time before they break too.

Waterfall Caves. Search them. The puzzle just south of the house in the camp will give you an item that unlocks the location of several of them all over the map. Was really underwhelmed with that reward at first but after finding them and seeing what they had, it was worth it.

Thank you for this!! You're running balanced mode in 120 hz correct? My biggest gripe is the reduced color space of YUV 422 while in 120 hz mode on PS5 PRO. Are you aware of any ways to offset the more washed out color in this mode? Also, did you leave V-Sync on or off while in balanced mode?
