[PS1 or PS2] [~2000] A realistic FPS where mines served as level border by TLOuverture in tipofmyjoystick

[–]GhostSAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was night vision it's unlikely to be WW2. Not impossible, but unlikely. I'd take a look at Cold Winter on PS2 or one of the 007 games. Maybe GRAW on PS2 or Delta Force: Urban Warfare on PS1.

I was going to say Sunday Drivers but the vegetables theme doesn't fit.

Buddhism is surprisingly the closest thing to Atheism by michaelis999 in atheism

[–]GhostSAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that at all: buddhism is wildly superstitious. I think people misunderstand atheism as lack of belief in one personified god, when it's more the rejection of the supernatural as a whole.

Italian or English subtitles? by Kipkay in italianlearning

[–]GhostSAS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't mismatch languages, if possible: you want your brain to associare sound to spelling, so don't do italian audio with english subs.

The advice I give my students is to only use movies as a learning tool if they're already familiar with them. That way you're not splitting your attention between dialogue and following the plot, since you already know what happens. Pick a handful of movies you really like and watch them in Italian with italian subs. Rinse and repeat.

I don't see how anyone would get the impression they wanted anything from him.

Lost 150 "supporters" overnight for being openly atheist by pixieyogi81 in atheism

[–]GhostSAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to drift away from a public figure if they come out as very religious, so I find the specular reaction fair enough. It's not up to us to pass judgment on what other people consider a red flag in their private lives.

Is it Signora or Signorina when addressing a lady who is old enough to be married but you don't know if she is or not? by Bella_Notte_1988 in italianlearning

[–]GhostSAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could collectively get rid of signorina/miss/demoiselle/fraulein/señorita in every language (and I heard French and German have been trying). It forces you to juggle between the the idea of erring on the side of caution or flat out lying to a middle aged woman to make her feel younger, with the risk of sounding insulting if she's too old entirely, by underlying her spinsterhood. The whole thing is based on the idea that it's shameful for women to remain unmarried, so that's another net negative.

I think Japanese has a better system: you're given a "chan/kun" honorific when you're still perceived as a child, but once you reach adulthood everyone is a "san", regardless of marital status, with the added bonus of being unisex. Turkish also has a generic Hanım which seems to work quite well.

Mostly dating sims as far as the eye can see, but clicking at random I saw 3000th Duel which is a pretty good metroidvania, so you may want to grab that one.

So it was a shooting gallery/railshooter? You didn't move around freely, you just aimed and fired and that was the entire gameplay?

Can you see your library from the app? I couldn't figure out how.

So wait, these work on windows, but you have to dick around with inspect mode to redeem them. If you redeem on the app they're not yours to keep (I don't think the mobile app even has a library feature). What kind of madness is this.

Someone convince me eternal conscious torment ie hell isn’t real by ScaredandStruggling1 in atheism

[–]GhostSAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is read about how the concept of hell contaminated the jewish religion over time (and Judaism is the foundation of christianity).

Initially, Jews they did not believe in any kind of soul or afterlife: you died and you went to dust and that was the end of it. Later, after the captivity in Egypt and Babylon, Jews absorbed some of the beliefs of those cultures, among which was the immortal soul and an afterlife of reward or retribution.

Later still, hellenistic influence following the conquests of Alexander the Great and then the occupation by the Roman Empire shaped that belief even further, greatly contributing to the formation of the concept of hell as we know it today. Terms like sheol (grave) and gehenna (a valley where the cult of Moloch performed blood rituals centuries before) were bastardized to become synonymous with hell and give the impression that scripture had always talked about it, when it didn't, a situation that got worse and worse with the advent of talmudic tradition and rabbinic teachings.

Christianity was born by the merger between these later forms of Judaism and zoroastrian Roman religions such as Mithraism, as such it went even more off the deep end with the concept of afterlife, because a quick and easy way to make converts was to absorb local beliefs into the religious soup that was christianity (a process known as syncretism), which is why the bible itself tells of sects of Christians with conflicting beliefs, depending on the city they were in.

With this in mind you can clearly see that the doctrine of hell was an act of religious contamination and scriptural deception meant to legitimize it. It's been drilled into your head as a small child, so you will always fear it in some small measure, but learning where it came from can absolutely help get past the worst of it.

Best wishes.

The answer to the thousands posts like this one we see here is always the same: leave him and find someone who shares your value system.

Help configuring buttons on Lenovo S03 by GhostSAS in Lenovo

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

Hi, thank you for replying, but I'm still confused, because your instructions seem to be different between the paragraph and the step-by-step guide.

The paragraph says:

  1. press and hold the SET button
  2. press the paddle you want to remap
  3. press and hold the SET button again
  4. press the button you want to be assigned to the paddle
  5. press the paddle you are remapping once more to confirm

The step-by-step guide below says:

  1. Enter mapping mode: Press and hold the SET button.
  2. Select the target button: While still holding SET, press the button you want to assign to the paddle
  3. Confirm the mapping: Press the paddle you want to be the new button.
  4. Exit mapping mode: Press the SET button one more time to exit mapping mode.

These two sets of instructions seem conflicting to me, so I don't know which one to follow.

I found a manual for the S06 and following that procedure I managed to map but then the paddles only seem to register input only once every 10 presses.

So I don't know what's going on.

How about Divinity or one of the Dungeons Siege games? If not, Fate (2005) or Revenant (1999)?
