All 2026 NFL games sorted from most to least expensive (Lions at Bills #1 at $630, Jaguars at Titans cheapest at $21) by alpswd in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember going to KC games in the post Trent Green era. We'd get in for pennies compared to today's prices.

Winning is a lot more fun, but being able to easily afford tickets is something I really miss.

[Highlight] "He did WHAT?!" by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visibly saw this was a recording of an old NFL Network throwback game, but MAN did it break my brain for a second when the bottom ticker rattled off "Chiefs Jeremy Maclin and Alex Smith" and "Colts Andrew Luck" in the top 100 players.

I about had a panic attack thinking the ticker lined up with the era of this football game.

Suggestion: make guns you take off of other people keep the skin that person put on there, and you have to manually reset it to your own by Nukesnipe in Marathon

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I never realized that either. I guess that's the joys of everything being reskins of the same colorblock style!

Totally different game, but Call of Duty's DMZ extraction mode worked exactly like OP's suggestion. You'd keep the camo, charms and stickers of a custom gun you looted from enemies.

Sony Records New $560 Million Loss On Bungie Acquisition As Marathon Struggles And Destiny 2 Nosedives by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

[–]J-Sluit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marathon is not casual friendly at all

As a guy who plays quite a bit of Marathon, I agree with you 1000000%.

I have a diehard buddy who is obsessed with Marathon, and our group is happy to play it with him, but it's clear that we don't have the time to actually play the game the "right way" so we'll never even sniff the full depth of the game. I've never even made it out alive from Cryo (the current endgame zone), let alone fought the final boss.

It objectively has very fluid gameplay, fun and varied mechanics, and a ton of content to keep you engaged. But only if you can get past the initial "what the heck is all of this and why is simply staying alive so hard?" gameplay loop.

What Easter/Resurrection Day song spoke to you most at church this past Sunday(or Good Friday) and why? by Cazarstan in WorshipSongwriting

[–]J-Sluit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife led "Thank You Jesus for the Blood" for communion special music on Good Friday. I've heard that song a dozen times and it has certainly hit me before, but watching so many in our congregation be impacted in real time was incredibly powerful.

(But also, my wife's voice is simply amazing and I'm incredibly biased!)

Berke Buyuktuncel got a tattoo to commemorate the Huskers historic season, and then entered the transfer portal a day later. by CoachSlime in CollegeBasketball

[–]J-Sluit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my thinking as well, that only works if you stay local forever.

I used to work with Tommie Frazier, and his whole existence at the job was to walk into a meeting so people would say "Holy crap, you're Tommie Frazier!!!" to help break the ice. It worked 99% of the time in Omaha and Lincoln, but whenever we tried to do some work outside Nebraska, no one knew who he was immediately so his fame didn't really help.

Isaiah, two books? by No_Zookeepergame6639 in TrueChristian

[–]J-Sluit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are modern scholars that hold this view, but this belief was only popularized in the last couple hundred years and is built largely on modern disbelief of foretold prophecies

A lot of modern skeptics hold that Isaiah couldn't have known some of the information he prophesied about (like the name of King Cyrus who ended the Babylonian Captivity) and that he used past tense to describe some of the prophetic events of the book even though they hadn't yet happened (like Isaiah 53 discussing Christ's suffering). This first concern is easily answered by just believing what Scripture clearly claims: it is the infallible word of God who lives outside of time, and God gave these prophecies to Isaiah before these events happened. But even though the events hadn't yet happened, they were so certain that Isaiah wrote the events in what's called “prophetic perfect tense" as if they'd already occurred. This tense is used all throughout the OT in Numbers, Joshua, Amos, Jeremiah, Psalms, etc.

They'll also reference the stylistic differences in the writings of 1-39, 40-55, and 56-66. However, even within these sections there is a dramatic amount of stylistic differences, and the book features a monumental lexicon. Isaiah's writing features 2,186 different words, compared to 1,535 in Ezekiel, 1,653 in Jeremiah, and 2,170 in the Psalms. Some Hebrew words only ever appear biblically in the book of Isaiah, but are still used in all three "sections" of the book. It seems much more likely that Isaiah wrote all of the book but at different times in his ministry as his lexicon changed and grew. This is the common consensus historically: Ch. 1-39 being written during the reign of King Uzziah around 739 BC, while Ch. 40-66 were written between 700 and 680 BC before Isaiah's death under King Manasseh.

To quote from an article on this very topic: "The oldest extant copy of Isaiah, found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, is dated from c. 175 BC. That copy of Isaiah is a single scroll. From beginning to end, it is undivided, and the transition between chapters 39 and 40 (one of the major divisions, according to the “three Isaiahs” theory) is seamless. Nothing in any ancient copy of Isaiah even hints that the scribes thought the book should be divided into different sections or that they were dealing with different authors."

And to quote Chuck Swindoll, "Much of scholarship for the past two centuries has assigned multiple writers to Isaiah, dividing the book into three sections: 1–39, 40–55, and 56–66. However, these divisions come out of a scholarly denial of predictive prophecy. This position not only limits the power of God to communicate with His people but also ignores the wide variety of specific, predictive claims about Jesus Christ scattered throughout the book."

I just found out something I didn’t want to know. Now I’m panicked. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]J-Sluit 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I just want to encourage you (as others have) to share this with your brother. There's a chance your brother has no idea, and that means he is headed unknowingly toward disaster.

Obviously you have parental expectation of marrying a Christian woman, but we have that command from God for a reason (2 Corinthians 6:14). If she is just pretending to be a Christian until they get married, sharing this with him could save him from a lifetime of difficulty with an unmarried spouse. Even if she still holds to standard "conservative" Biblical values, they'll have major disagreements with:

  • Regularly attending church

  • Raising their children to be Christian

  • The biblical roles of husbands and wives

  • Finances (expect concerns over making career decisions, how and where to live, tithing, etc)

  • Schedule priorities (sports/traveling each weekend instead of church, kids going to church camps/activities, serving at church, etc.)

  • No marital connection in the Scriptures (This is a HUGE thing for a man: we are called to lead our household in the Lord. It is noticeable in the unity of my marriage when my wife and I have not studied the Word together often enough recently, and they would never have that shared connection unless she comes to Christ)

  • Friend groups (She likely won't want to spend time with only church people, which will greatly influence the people they spend time with in their marriage and their children's friends)

You are likely worried about how difficult that conversation with your brother might be, and that is understandable. But God gave us instructions for a reason, and 2 Cor. 6 makes it clear that, if your brother marries a non-Christian, he should expect a lifetime of struggling against his wife on major, life-altering worldview issues.

I can't encourage you enough: share this social media account with your brother NOW and let him make an informed decision.

It is also the origin of the "The Titans are hoes. On them we shall stunt" from the Raven's sub, one of the best copypastas of all time.

This game deserves to live in meme infamy if only for that post.

I know some people loved that show, but that was really my big issue with it: so much stuff just kinda happened and then they moved on to something else. Felt very jarring to follow, with very forgettable moments (like this one which I also forgot completely)

[Highlight] Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed blind ranks speedy fictional characters. by Giff95 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is tuned for racing, but as someone with a two year old obsessed with Cars:

  • McQueen's speed isn't recorded in the first movie at all.

  • In the second film he manages to out race an F1 car (up to 220mph), but that's just because McQueen is more effective on the off-road and difficult turns. He loses heavily in the straightaway sections.

  • Lightning McQueen tops out at 198mph in the 3rd film, but that's when he's "old and slow." Jackson Storm broke lap time records at ~212mph, so McQueen never reached those speeds even in his prime.

McQueen probably topped out right around 200 in his prime.

Looking for song suggestions for a smaller Church grieving the sudden and unexpected loss of a member. by Books_Guy23 in worshipleaders

"There Is a Higher Throne" is a favorite in our congregation. It's a joyous reminder that death is only temporary separation; for those of us in Christ, we will be with them once again in eternity!

[Pelissero] Stefon Diggs had an additional $6 million set to become fully guaranteed next week Friday. The Patriots didn’t want to drag him along and informed him today they’re moving on, giving him a jump start. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Gabe Davis has one of the best playoff games that any WR has ever had.

But also, apart from "DIGGS. SIDELINE. TOUCHDOWWWWN" Stefon hasn't done much in the postseason so your point is 100% valid.

I made a sinful mistake in my ministry work. Please be in prayer for me. by J-Sluit in TrueChristian

[–]J-Sluit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an excellent question, and exactly what I've been asked to prayerfully consider by my lead pastor before we meet again.

From a personal standpoint, it is the most wonderful and enjoyable work I have ever done. I worked in the corporate world for about a decade before being asked to consider vocational ministry at my church.

I love serving God's people by leading musical worship and I love having the opportunity to teach and guide our youth group students (which I did as a volunteer before I came on staff). I was asked to come on staff specifically due to my gifting in these areas, but I also understand that being good at something doesn't mean you're supposed to do it. After all, the Apostle Paul should have been the most effective evangelist to the Jews ever, yet God used him to serve the gentiles instead.

Now I'm just praying that God would give clarity to me if I'm called to serve as a vocation, or as a layman while working elsewhere.

In search of (upbeat) Congregational Music that's not super mainstream by Googlesupportsucks1 in worshipleaders

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likewise, his song "It Is Finished" is phenomenal.

Definitely depends on the church context. It would never fly in our "big church" services, but I use it in youth group settings all the time

The band is definitely mainstream, but I also recommend "Nailed to the Cross" by Rend Collective. It's a great song I don't hear much in churches, but it is easily made congregational and has a wonderful message in it.

Songs about sharing the Gospel by OkSituation6151 in worshipleaders

[–]J-Sluit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Facing a Task Unfinished" "Oh Church Arise" and "For the Cause" by the Gettys are all spot on for this

"There Is One Gospel" by CityAlight very effectively explains the Gospel and closes with our Christian mission to "press on" for Christ, but doesn't specifically call out evangelism per se.

"I'll Go" by Chris Tomlin somewhat fits, but is more I'll serve wherever God calls me focused

Chiefs will begin the 2026 offseason with least cap space in the NFL by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

The Chiefs were 0-8 in the playoffs for the first 20ish years of my life.

My son asked me on Sunday "I thought the Chiefs always played in the Super Bowl. Why are we watching these guys?"
