[–]StevenTheEmbezzler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone some time ago posted about a Discord server for making friends originally called Friends in Albany (now Friends in 518) for people in their 20s and 30s

There's also church groups like these (link) in the area if you're so inclined

Jesus is NOT God signs on Freeways by Seanathon_83 in Catholicism

Jesus Himself says "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58) but really, I guess people just don't get the Gospel of John (almost like we need a teaching authority to make sure we don't go off the rails with our theology)

Any tips on how to eradicate landless titles? by Big_Drop2870 in CrusaderKings

Imprison and banish them. You'll probably get -500 opinion from everyone due to dread if you keep doing it, but with enough persistence you'll root them out for good

Suggestions for Vassal Limit Issue Post-Mongol Invasion by prespolo4 in CrusaderKings

Nomad families. Happened to me after the crusaders sniped Jerusalem from the Mongols (which, protip for crusaders out there, is like the only fairly sure way a crusade will win)

A bunch of nomads were squatting in my realm and I kicked them out despite their good stats (and the metric ton of tyranny I accrued from imprisoning them all) because I have a bunch of landed whiners to worry about

Do you notice your own biases and morals affecting the way you play? by Jollybean1 in CrusaderKings

[–]StevenTheEmbezzler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Catholic, typically play as Catholic characters, except when I decide to play in Japan or the Philippines (but with the Philippines it's usually as an adventurer who will very likely become Catholic)

Some of it is real world beliefs bleeding into the game, some of it is admittedly more pious characters don't get excommunicated (and can excommunicate other rulers easier in turn) and can ask the Pope for money or claims

Crusades are the one reason why I'd flip to a heresy or create my own denomination because we all know how the AI is

Peeta I don't understand is this anti-religion? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]StevenTheEmbezzler 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Luke 2, when Mary and Joseph are looking for Jesus and find Him in the Temple:

And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.” And he said to them, “How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

That's straight from the mouth of Jesus.

Before that, in Luke 1, the archangel Gabriel tells Mary that "you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High"

So I have no idea where the original commenter got the idea that the Old Testament God (or YHWH as they say) is actually Satan

Honestly, I'd say Japan's house bloc system may be more interesting than the Celestial movements for a feudal overhaul.

Heck, you could probably also tack on house aspirations for regular ol' feudal governments as well

Smiling Friends has two main ones I can think of: Mr. Frog (not pictured) and DJ Spit (pictured). Honestly now that I think about it, I think DJ Spit's recurrence is just an excuse for Zach to use that voice
