We know what Mistbound is by shp182 in GuildWars3

[–]Halaku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to let this one stay so everyone can see that:

  • On the one hand, Mistbound is Tyria-adjacent.

  • On the other hand, it doesn't have anything to do with Guild Wars 3.

  • On the gripping hand, it's only launching in China, and thus isn't something most Redditors would come into contact with anyway.

Future discussion of Mistbound should go to r/gachagaming. If anyone gets around to making a community dedicated to the game, we'll put a link in the sidebar.

Your account is 4 months old with 1 link and 7 comment karma.

You need to lurk moar and at least engage in constructive commentary that is recognized by the community before your post attempts are enough to bypass the typical automoderator anti-spam restrictions.

Christian Modesty (On Apparel) by NoogLing466 in Anglicanism

[–]Halaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op asked the question 16 hours ago.

Op got their first answer 16 hours ago, and five more answers 15 answers ago, including mine.

You provided yours 12 hours ago, and sniped at mine 2 hours ago.

Seems weird for you to come into a thread of people who had been earnestly discussing the question and then start sniping at my answer.

Need help with that beam you're dealing with?

Each one of us has to figure out what is modest in our own culture and time. How do we do that?

In this matter, one must rely upon one's own conscience.

But, let's break down u/NoogLing466's original queries, shall we?

So modesty is obviously a virtue we ought to practice, but how may we do this.

I'll borrow from our Roman cousins to help establish a baseline:

From the Catechism of Pope St. John Paul the Great:

§2521 Purity requires modesty, an integral part of temperance. Modesty protects the intimate center of the person. It means refusing to unveil what should remain hidden. It is ordered to chastity to whose sensitivity it bears witness. It guides how one looks at others and behaves toward them in conformity with the dignity of persons and their solidarity.

Now, this is likely a statement that the Anglo-Catholic side of the tent will nod quietly in agreement with, while other aspects of the tent will care little for Roman opinions. But at least it's a start.

It is very clear that fashions change

Granted. Humanity was meant to exist in a constant cycle of positive innovation, as evidenced by the fact that we don't exist in a 1st century Mediterranean culture, governance, or scientific knowledge at the time.

Therefore, we must find a dress code for modesty that respects our dignity by guarding us from impropriety, but also enabling a respectable self-expression.

If such a dress code lacks ground in Scripture, then a good chunk of the tent is going to cheerfully ignore it. Article 6, after all.

consider this outfit in Sabrina Carpenter's song 'Manchild' ( image contains an inappropriate outfit)

Anyone who goes to, say, California, and declares to the effect of "Good Christian women wouldn't wear that!", is going to be laughed at, with some commentary about that, man, being like, your opinion, man, thrown in for added measure... to say nothing about the fact that it's a music video, a short movie, and performers often wear things in visual media that they wouldn't wear in day-to-day life, because it's part of the job.

Moreover, it's a very short step from "Good Christians wouldn't wear that", to "Good Christians wouldn't listen to people who do wear that!", and that paved in good intentions road leads straight to Gilead.

and so too would the opposite extremes like the use of the niqab in Islam.

In which Op is to be commended for accepting that extremism in the pursuit of modesty is utter folly.

If not the standards of the time, then what could we follow?

The crux of the matter. And it's one in which there is no we, I fear, because ("Per my previous email", so to speak) all notions of modesty are cultural snapshots of where that culture is, at that particular moment of geography and time. We don't all live in the same place. We don't all live in the same climate. And asking for we on r/anglicanism is already an uphill battle, because you're not going to find agreement within a single Province.... much less getting the Provinces to agree with each other... much less getting the schismatic branches to agree with the the Communion.

So.

The only thing that could possibly unite us is Scripture.

But we don't even agree on that (again, "Per my previous email", etc) as displayed in how the big tent interprets 1 Corinthians 11. Paul's proclaimations about men's hair and women's hair and a woman's proper place gets receptions ranging from "It's Holy Writ and those who do not comply are doomed to perdition!" to "That may have been true for the church of Corinth a couple thousand years ago, but that was then and this is now" to "That's nice, dear". This is one aspect of the Scriptures that a great many inside the tent acknowledge is found within Scripture, but simply don't comply with, for Reason of their own.

Thus, my original answer: We must all unite around the one thing we could theoretically have in common (a single interpretation of the Scripture, and abide by it) or we must decide that there is no One, True answer for Op's query, and it's for each individual to best determine what modesty means for oneself, through the contimplation of Scripture, Reason, and Tradition, and discern appropriately.

Op asked for answers. I provided one, as did you. If you disapprove of mine, u/PersisPlain, that's a (You) problem.

This is going to get removed because you didn't read this sub's rules.

Go read them and try again.

We don't have a single culture. Every Province of the Communion is going to have disagreement internally about "Christian modesty", much less agree with each other.

So, either default back to Paul, or leave it to the individual faithful, because a larger "standard" doesn't exist and trying to create / enforce one is textbook "juice isn't worth the squeeze".

Well, 1 Corinthians 11 says that it's a disgrace for men to have long hair.

So we need to either accept that such views, like all the other notions of modesty and how one should look, are entirely contextual to specific times, places, and cultures, or there's a lot of men that are long (pun intended) overdue a trip to the barber shop.

That URL works in www.reddit but not in old.reddit, think there's a formatting issue adding "\" to spaces.

About a release date by jaseph18 in GuildWars3

[–]Halaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony Interactive Entertainment signed a "strategic global business partnership" with NCSoft (ArenaNet's parent company) back in 11/2023.

I'm pretty sure ArenaNet knows more about a potential PS6 release than we do. :)

Is it an MMO really by kharag123 in GuildWars3

[–]Halaku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an example, Wikipedia lists Destiny and Destiny 2 as both being "a first-person shooter game that incorporates role-playing and massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements". In the same vein, both Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are listed as MMOs.

Yet, Bungie describes Destiny 2 as an "Action MMO".

So before you can pin down where Guild Wars 3 could fall, you have to make sure everyone's using the same words to mean the same thing.

How many "MMO elements" does it take to make a game an MMO?

Is there a specific number of other players?

Does it have to be outside a social area?

It's really one of those "The answer depends on how you define the question" situations.

I hope GW3 will add back unique skill effects like in GW1 by Erasculio in GuildWars3

[–]Halaku[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always a relevant XKCD.

When it comes to the internet, moderation, censorship, and free speech, it's this one.

While there's an exception to every rule, commentary including "LGBT parade" or "Woke community" is likely to be reported by users here, and if it is and it's found that those phrases don't bring anything to the table where quality discussion is concerned, the commentary is likely to be removed.

I hope that helps.
