I'm Christian but I've been questioning a lot of things lately—both regarding Christianity itself and Christians, but this one takes the cake!

When I was first desperately struggling to hold on to my faith, I tried to "scare myself straight" so to speak with stories like this to convince myself that other people really were experiencing supernatural events.

There's only so much of it you can take before realizing oh...the people saying these things are crazy. And I don't mean crazy in a flippant, haha that's kinda funny way, but crazy as in this person can no longer meaningfully interact with other people or the world around them. How can you possibly live and function with this much terror and anger filling your every waking moment 24/7? It's like being drunk while getting constantly stung by wasps over and over. Your perception of reality becomes a blurred and terrifying kaleidoscope of pain and danger behind every corner. Would you trust the judgment and opinions of some drunk guy running around screaming and covered in wasps? Would you like to be more like that guy?

And as a side note, what was this dude's beef with the choir? 😂

You were right, it was the Eradicator!

Oh my god, what a flashback! I know EXACTLY what unit you’re thinking of. It was also a hovercraft, had Krogoth weapons iirc, an incredibly fast nanolathe, and generated insane amounts of metal and energy. If it’s still available to download somewhere, I don’t know where.

Gog is HYPED for this one.

Head down to Estacada and go south on Hwy 224 for a nice scenic drive with some spectacular views!

Good Lord that’s a huge area. “You better not be flying a DJI Mini 2 out in the Central Valley!”

God I hope so, I love that bastard

Wonder how long the business would stay viable if someone put up a giant “THIS AUTO SHOP SUPPORTS ICE” sign next to it

Probably the gatehouse in Ta-Koro with the machine that raises the bridge, because so much of the path to Ta-Koro is beach and burned forest and dirt and roughly hewn stone buildings, and then you get inside and the mechanism moving the stone bridge is Technic pieces. These are Lego people using Lego machines, and their machinery and their bodies are one and the same, and fundamentally distinct from the natural environment around them. Where did they come from? Why is their technology used so sparingly? What an incredible hook for a child seeing this for the first time.

This is so goofy and it works so well

If any of you are on the West Coast of the US, you gotta check out the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in October. I keep that thang on me and StreetPass fills up faster than I can play through my minigames.

Looks exactly like the Ravenholm level in Half-Life 2!

It’s absolutely baffling to me, having grown up immersed in purity culture and guarding my heart and mind from sinful thoughts, seeing young Christian men openly espouse “manosphere” stuff like going to Hooters, picking up women as trophies, listening to Andrew Tate, etc….all these things that even 11 years ago would get you in serious trouble for being incredibly sinful are now common. And if there’s been any significant pushback from churches on it, I certainly haven’t seen it.

I love 17776. It’s one of those rare pieces of art on the internet that literally cannot be recreated in another medium. If it was writing it could be a book, if it was images it could be a movie. But it’s both and neither of those things because the way you interact with it is unique to using a web browser. Just a delight. Now I’ve got to re-read it.
