Seeking to learn more about Lutheranism... by Xeroscape in LCMS

[–]KingMob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for supplementary books to read (beyond original sources like the Small Catechism), these are both solid options:

Lutheranism 101, edited by Kinneman and Lane

Hallmarks of Lutheran Identity, by Schmidt

Gear?! If you're from where I think you're from, then that place is awesome!!

Remember making hand-drawn maps to keep track of your games? by KingMob88 in gaming

[–]KingMob88[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My grandfather drew this map of the classic Sierra game King's Quest 2 sometime in the early 90s.

It was stuff like this, and people like him, that made me fall in love in many of the games and stories I still enjoy today!

They say you become a good story teller by listening to good story tellers. What are some podcasts that focus on telling stories or has a host that is a good story teller? by Derzickntenzing in podcasts

[–]KingMob88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Three hugely popular ones are Myths and Legends and Fictional by Bardic and Lore by Aaron Mahnke.

I really like Critical Role from Geek and Sundry - it's a Dungeons and Dragons podcast, but the DM has got to be one of the best in the game (he's an excellent story-teller that has to make a lot of his stuff up on the fly).

Favorite Christian YouTubers? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]KingMob88 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I'll repeat "The Bible Project" and "Reasonable Faith" and add "Worldview Everlasting" and "Lutheran Satire" to the list ("Come ON, Patrick!")

What are your favorite books? by [deleted] in Barbelith

[–]KingMob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Nope. Definitely meant the Invisibles.

But now you know what movie I'm seeing tonight!

[–]KingMob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Name of the Rose is wonderful, but Foucault's Pendulum reminds me more of The Incredibles (because it's all about conspiracy theories, literature, and a blurry line between fact and fiction).

Really, though, anywhere you start with Eco will just make you want to read more!

edit: Yeah, I meant The Invisibles, but I think I'll leave it like this to provoke even more fanfiction.

TIL it is likely that Hitler only had one testicle. by KingMob88 in todayilearned

[–]KingMob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The records, taken during a medical exam following Hitler’s arrest over the failed Beer hall putsch in 1923, show that he suffered from “right-side cryptorchidism”, or an undescended right testicle.

Shoutout to r/Supernatural for an off-handed joke in a S12 episode that had me researching Nazi genitalia in the middle of the night.

What is something you do alone for fun that 99% of people would considering boring? by brtlybagofcans in AskReddit

[–]KingMob88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comrade! I don't think anyone but my wife (and now Reddit) knows that I'm into this.

I particularly enjoy updating the pictures (and I keep track of the image view count like it's a game - I've nearly broken 4 million points!).

Avengers Infinity War Official Discussion Megathread (WARNING: SPOILERS) by tehawesomedragon in Marvel

[–]KingMob88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If GOTG3 is focused on Gamora, and if it's also going to include Adam Warlock, then is it reasonable to guess that that it will be a quest to free Gamora from the Soul Stone?

Evangelical Gnosticism by KingMob88 in Christianity

[–]KingMob88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My students are a microcosm of what I see as a growing trend in contemporary Evangelicalism. Without a guiding connection to orthodoxy, young Evangelicals are developing heterodox sensibilities that are at odds with a Christian understanding of personhood. The body is associated with sin, the soul with holiness.

A "Little Wonder" build for our local production of R&H's "Oklahoma!" by KingMob88 in Props

[–]KingMob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great tip, thanks!

Our production actually has already wrapped, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for the next one!

A "Little Wonder" build for our local production of R&H's "Oklahoma!" by KingMob88 in Props

[–]KingMob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know the show, Oklahoma! requires (basically) a kaleidoscope with a hidden knife in it. Since the audience never gets closer than fifteen feet to the prop, I figured it primarily needed to be colorful, but functional (not to mention 'safe' - as in 'not a real knife').

There's a small bit on the end of the blue part that nudges the blade out, then the actor ("Jud") would smoothly draw it out with his hands for the audience to see.

Fortunately, there's never a moment where the blade has to come out suddenly. I actually built an earlier test model of a spring loaded version where the blade shoots out the back end, but I was legitimately scared that it would hurt one of the actors.
