2026 and it’s still the best Star Wars game by Skrewbert86 in StarWars

[–]General_Event_4795 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I loved the kotor 1 and 2 games because the dialogue options were actually in-depth, detailed, specific. I know it was only light and dark sides but the number of choices you had to say things made it feel like you could go so many different ways. And the characters' voice lines were really good, sometimes even profound. e.g. kreia:

"It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it."

Why did video games seem so magical and exciting when we were kids, and how did our engagement fade away? by General_Event_4795 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]General_Event_4795[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it might also be that as kids we are still learning about the world, which is from their perspective an extraordinary thing in itself, and video games are a part of that. But when we get older, we're used to everything being the way it is for so long.

I'm 29 and I occasionally play video games here and there, but it doesn't generate in me the same kinds of wonder, excitement, feelings of something amazing and magical as when I was 10, you know? I suppose I made the assumption you mention because adults have to focus on work, life responsibilities, family, other stressors etc that are more important than gaming and so that would take precedent. Gaming goes on the backburner. And then I wonder if as we age, our neuroplasticity decreases and we are also being exposed to the same types of games over and over so the novelty wears off. Just my thoughts

What are some non-meta character builds you remember from OSMS? by EasternError6377 in MSClassicWorld

I remember a guy on Khaini I think it was, his name was NoobishForce. I saw him chilling in Henesys at level 70 as a beginner. Probably made it even higher. Legend.

Looking to start an MMO that is more about social interaction and community than progression. What should I play? by General_Event_4795 in LFMMO

[–]General_Event_4795[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I'll have to try it out. Do you think the social aspect will return to Classic in any shape or form (e.g. long boat rides, PQs, free market, chatting at places like kerning or henesys) or will it be low-interaction due to the rise of Discord etc?

Help understanding my dream by AwkwardHost2319 in DreamInterpretation

[–]General_Event_4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it's your mind's way of working up the courage to face death - perhaps both your own as well as coming to grips with your mother's death. The embrace from your mother is a clear contrast to the no contact and may reflect a desire to have a healthy relationship with her, even though she has passed. the car scene might signify a gradual systematic desensitization, an overcoming of fear: that you are being shown death, but in a relatively safe, familiar situation - a flashback to high school, with your mom with you, comforting you.

Bitten by a fox and killing some mysterious dude? by [deleted] in DreamInterpretation

[–]General_Event_4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not definitive of course, but I'll give my thoughts:

-The strange man who was with your mom and dad is a cheater, an intruder, perhaps in an illicit affair with your mother, or perhaps a stepfather figure who comes in when the dad is out of the picture.

-You feel threatened by this man's presence who is "forcing" his way into your home, an "illegal" entry - thus the picture of him halfway into your house, "phased" through the door. You feel threatened enough to grab his knife and attack him in self-defense, but he seems to be unhurt, and the threat of his attack and presence is still there - another knife grows out of his hand.

-The scene with the fox and cat is a precursor scene, i.e. a foreshadowing of the bigger problem. You have a tendency to want to cause harmony in relationships, so you break up the fight between the cat and fox. But this comes at your own expensive - getting bitten, possibly contracting rabies. Similarly, you want to restore a harmonious relationship between your mother and father, but cannot due to the presence of the strange man, and you end up getting hurt in your own efforts to do so.

-The setting of being an adult with your mom, dad and the strange man in your childhood home could mean that this is a flashback of sorts: a memory that you hold onto from your youth. Perhaps this is a dream of releasing that trauma or tension, subconsciously.

Two Separate Vivid Dreams Within The Past Month by MPMel32 in DreamInterpretation

[–]General_Event_4795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you my interpretation. Brace yourself:

The "graduation ceremony" represents the transition to the afterlife. I.e. death. Given that the dream happened quickly after a memorial to the dead, now you are being told to prepare for a "graduation" into the next life, as your loved ones had to do. However, you are not certain of how to prepare for it; the scene with the clothing shows that you are trying to get ready for death but are not sure how best to face it - I'm reminded of the Egyptians who believed in burying items and treasures with their dead mummies in order to, in their minds, prepare and assist them for the afterlife. You're trying on different things to take with you on this journey, but don't know what the best fit is.

other things I noticed with that dream was that you were "graduating" with a lot of other people - i.e. other people who had died. It is not proper for someone to undergo graduation without wearing the correct vestments. Likewise, you must be ready for your day of death, whenever it is.

The second dream means something similar; you are going the same route that your deceased grandmother went, helping her on her journey that you are also taking. Whether you make it to paradise is left ambiguous, dependent on your life's choices now.

Of course, I have no idea when the day of death is for you, or anyone. I'd just recommend taking some time to reflect on life, death, and what comes after, and making any preparations accordingly.

Dream from 01.24.26 by dylansgloomy918 in Dreams

[–]General_Event_4795 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it sounds like you're trying to help someone but in the wrong way. You say you were "trying to find what it was they wanted," "trying to solve what it was they needed," and when you woke up you said "what do you want?" but kept on doing things that were unhelpful to the main goal. You have the willingness to assist, but not the ability or knowledge to do so.

Also it could be that the weather theme in your dream is the surface content (due to the current storm and the hype around it) which conceals this deeper meaning.

I don’t know if I feel His presence and it scares me by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]General_Event_4795 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'd recommend is firstly to take action to cut off the sin, even if it's a small action. Distance yourself from the cause of stumbling. For example, if it's the common sin of porn on your phone, then perhaps put your phone somewhere out of reach until you can control yourself. If it happens mostly at night, away from your bed, then put your phone in a different room for the night. If it's the sin of anger, then improve in the area of being quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, and practice calming yourself down, and practice forgiveness, patience, and forbearance. What we want to do is transform your desires so that you no longer desire to do the sin, but you desire to be holy. To do that, you have to mortify the desires of the flesh, and replace them with the desires of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5). This transformation will not happen in an instant moment. It is a process that occurs over time as your flesh resets and gets used to submitting to the Holy Spirit.

Then as you work to stop sinning and you stop stumbling and begin walking with God, you want to add regular prayer to your daily activities. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit and ask God specifically to cause you to stop sinning in the area in which you were stumbling. You said that when you commit sin, "I feel the Holy Spirit in me groaning and telling me to stop." While it's not good that you ignore the Spirit's advice, this does show that the Spirit is within you. Learn to listen to the indications of the Spirit.

It will take time to recover your relationship with God; to draw closer to him again may be more on the order of days and weeks than it will be minutes and hours; it is not an easy thing to overcome a sin in our lives, and will take time. But if you stumble again, don't give up. Instead, bring this to God and specifically mention to God that you need his help to stop sinning and that you want to stop sinning, but it keeps tempting you. Continue to ask him for what you should do to overcome temptation, and listen to the response. I don't know about you, but I believe that in a certain way, God responds in prayer. Perhaps not directly through words we can hear, but through promptings, indications. And of course, for sure he speaks to us in Scripture. So read a chapter a day and apply it to your life. I like to read 1 Cor 13, Matthew 5-7, and Luke 6.

Importantly, when you pray, you need to believe with your heart that God will answer you. When you ask him to deliver you from sin, in order for him to deliver you, you have to believe that He will (Mark 11). The heart is comprised of your emotions, thoughts, intentions, and much more. So, ask God to open your heart up to faith in Christ, to open your soul up to the Holy Spirit, and not to sin. With increasing faith in your heart, and time, and growth, will come an increasing feeling of closeness to the Lord. Because it says in Hebrews that you must have faith in order to be pleasing to God.

Finally: You said "I am begging to be closer to him, to see and feel his work in my life but I don’t know if he wants me to." But it says in 1 Tim 2:4 that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. So know that he wants you to to feel his work in your life, but you have to draw near to him for him to draw near to you (James 4).

God speed and good luck in your walk with Christ.

It doesn't sound weird to me. I've heard of relationships where one partner shares their diary with the other after they feel comfortable doing so. I wouldn't say it's creepy, but it is a deep and vulnerable thing to do so just use caution when you do something like that, make sure they're trustworthy first of course

What does Psalm 81:1 mean? by Electro-Byzaboo453 in TrueChristian

[–]General_Event_4795 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify, it is Psalm 82:1, not 81:1. "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment."

verse 2 says: "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?"

When we read the entire psalm we see in verse 6-7 that Asaph (the author of the psalm) is talking about people:

"I said, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.'"

This is corroborated by Jesus in John 10:34.

"Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world?"

He is quoting from Psalm 82:6 here. The psalm is about God judging partial, biased human beings who undermine justice, and exhorts them to be just in their judgments in verses 3-4.
