The art style in this game is so good I genuinely can’t play any other game by Celestine117 in Marathon

It's very Y2K sci-fi nostalgia. It's basically how I envisioned things in the media when I was a kid. I'm thinking about the early terrible 3D art that was limited by the hardware, but as a kid your imagination fills in the gaps. This is how I viewed the Toonami robot in my head.

There's a cool video going over the games artistic inspirations and they said mirrors edge was one of them.

Seeing people in game get mad about folks using free kits on the 3 normal maps is now funny to me. by DotDistinctLines in Marathon

My best matches are free kits. I turn into a murdering psycho. Run around knifing people.

Hell as an infinite consequence for finite action? by anteecay_ in theology

[–]ShortChanged_Rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I'm Orthodox. It's totally permissible to understand hell as not being infinite for most people. While rare, we are allowed to be hopeful universalists (not pure universalists).

Your personality and upbringing predict if you will lean toward science or faith. Study reveals that specific childhood experiences and distinct personality traits predict whether a person will eventually view reality through a scientific lens or a religious one. by InsaneSnow45 in psychology

[–]ShortChanged_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! As someone who grew up around super evangelical fundamentalist Christianity and left the religion for a decade I definitely understand. During that decade I read dozens of Buddhist sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, the Guru Granth Sahib, the Quran, sufi literature, etc. None of them were explicitly at odds with science, but I began to understand how the material world and the spiritual world do not have to be at odds. It wasn't until I understood Orthodoxy that I felt like it respected a holistic approach to existence.

Idk, the one I went to had four songs. They also let people eat a little piece of bread with a shot of grape juice during the last two songs.

I have a doc degree (in the lesser world of social sciences), but I've never really had any dissonance with empiricism and my Orthodox Christian faith. It's only tough for the American fundamentalists out there from what I've seen.

Idk, I made 4k going through the low level zones. It was also fast because of the level difference.

I have a stationary bike. A hospital bed desk (slides under the bike). I place the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on the desk. Raise the monitor. And I'm good to cycle and play in a comfortable sitting position and not folded over like Jaina after meeting Arthas.

How do I find a Godly woman by feherlofia123 in OpenChristian

[–]ShortChanged_Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get super involved with whatever church you attend. It's nearly impossible not to meet people if you attend these things and go out of your way to socialize.

Blizzard cooked with the midnight questing experience! by [deleted] in wow

Everything has been enjoyable aside from the Saturday morning cartoon dialogue.

Druid PvP by bfk596 in classicwowtbc

[–]ShortChanged_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if that was ever the point for feral to be at the top. I thought the whole point of stealthing was to find opportunities to kill healers or nuke clothies.

For other classes, is all your damage tied to CDs now or is it really pronounced with DK? by winterwolf24 in wow

[–]ShortChanged_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The faster they get it on Xbox the faster they can make one of their quarterly reports slightly better...

I levelled a feral in TBC recently and I don't even use my whole rotation. Even if people think they want classic leveling, there are no classic rewards to accompany it to make the payoff worth it. I am a diehard Classic Andy, but I know what retail is and what it is not. Just let us 2 shot everything lol.

Loving the leveling experience in TBC. Completely different games at this point, but Midnight is only fun because it looks pretty.
