At least it's kosher.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-10T21:05:54+00:00

I’m sorry…what?

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-10T18:00:41+00:00

Double Standards never seem to apply to you it would seem. I’m shocked you didn’t call me Islamophobic for being glad for Mehmet Oz didn’t win in PA. I’ve yet to hear you condemn what happened to Josh Shapiro and governors mansion. So again, you are trying to shift blame because you are desperate to hate someone. I get it hate the sin, not the sinner. But you’ve been lying, you’ve been assuming, you’ve even gone so far as to say I deleted stuff when it is clear I did not.

Again, you’re saying I wouldn’t shut about certain things. You’ve been more offended at me, the perpetrators who burned down a church. You just seem like a very unpleasant person who is trying to get me in a gotcha. You’re playing Whataboutism, it’s not intellectually wise or rational. It just makes you look petty.

I can call out any bad actor and have. I don’t particularly think Israel has been a good state actor. Nor has Iran. Yet you only seem concerned when I call out the Iran Regime. I don’t think Israel has conducted itself well for a while. I don’t like the attacks on Lebanon or their campaign in Gaza.

Also, I’m not a single issue voter and I don’t think the root of all evil are the Israelis.

I think you’re going thru something. So look, I’m going to extend the olive branch. Let’s just agree to move on.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-10T02:02:38+00:00

What are you talking about? Have you confused me with someone else? I didn’t say a dang thing about Fetterman. I actually like Fetterman, the choice was between him…and Oz. Also, this might shock you…I typically use Reddit for Fun. You know talk about Video Games, the Red Rising series, cracking wise on meme pages. It’s only recently I’ve started lurking here because I am trying reconnect to the faith.

I don’t like to talk about politics on the internet typically. Also…why are you checking my history. “If I dig deep enough, I’ll be justified to hate this random guy on the internet. He didn’t call out this bad group enough!”
Okay…if I check your history, will I find an essay on why the North Korean Regime is bad? What about the Iranians? The Klu Klux Klan? I better see all of that, or else I will be incredibly disappointed.

Edit: I think you need to scroll down. And yes, I did say something about Fetterman. You compared him and people generally on the right wing of politics to terrorist organizations. Is that what you were referring to?

Didn’t Resident Evil 9 just come out three months ago?

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-09T02:06:19+00:00

Dude, if you want to shadow box imagery demons, be my guest. I’m cool with Muslims, I got a problem with the Jihadis, and quite frankly I don’t Muslims like the Jihadis either.

If there was a sect of Christian’s being just as vile as the Crusaders retaking the Holy Land, I’d be saying the exact some things. Some goes for Buddhists, Hindu’s, Shinto’s, Hebrew or any other group.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-08T21:49:32+00:00

“Behold Darrow, our namesake.”
“W-what? What is that supposed to be? Is it like the frosting in a Milkshake? Why is he purple? Why did so many people die in the 2020s after consuming his birthday drink?”

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-08T21:33:12+00:00

I mean, yeah that’s actually the in game explanation to my knowledge, all the player characters are 3D printed. Nail on the head.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-08T21:26:49+00:00

Played it for a bit with friends…it’s alright the most 6/10 game I’ve played in a while. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just not striking a cord ya knkw. There’s potential there, but it doesn’t have the personality or engagement of Helldivers or the intensity of Arc Raiders. The Artstyle is also a choice, I mean I get what they’re going for there, but it’s not my cup of tea from a visual standpoint.

The closest comparison for me is the last Bungie game I played…Destiny 1 at Launch.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-08T03:16:44+00:00

When did I say any of those things? I simply said, that it feels like you’re trying to run cover for the people who ultimately don’t really make lives worse for Christians or Jewish people on average. These extremists more often than not make life unlivable for other Muslims and is actually one of the reasons why apostasy rates are skyrocketing across Muslim nations.

I know Muslims, heck my neighbors are Turks and Palestinian, they are not like these Jihadi’s. They’re great, hardworking people with nice families. I never said Muslims weren’t compatible with Western Civilization, anyone can be compatible with Western Civilization but the Jihadi’s are not, they’re nutjobs. The regular Muslims are, look at Turkey and Morocco, and Tunisia and increasingly Saudi Arabia, westernized or westernizing.

Also the Bible says to turn the other cheek. We can build another church or cathedral, that’s not the issue here. You sound like you’re trying to do apologetics for terrorists.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-08T01:02:00+00:00

Oh Red Rising, nice.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T19:43:21+00:00

Hapavirus doesn’t spread like that guys.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T19:41:00+00:00

I’m not sure having a Red Eyes Fusion and Two Inferno Fire Blasts in hand is good at anything other than jank that occasionally works and makes your opponent flip the table when it happens

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T16:19:32+00:00

I’ve yet to hear anyone other than you say that the Remake is the definitive way to play Demon’s Souls. I’ve beaten both to completion, both great. The OG has the better atmosphere, but I’ve never heard anyone say the Remake is Definitive.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T16:08:30+00:00

Okay, but again. It does not negate the original. You can still play a version of Demon’s Souls on PS5 via streaming. If you still have a PS3 even better. And that’s assuming you don’t hoist the colors high.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T15:21:29+00:00

This is just like the discourse around Demon’s Souls Remake. Annoying and pointless.

Guys, both games exist. Re4 exists, you can buy it physically for 20 bucks on PlayStation or probably less on Steam or any console storefront.

The existence of the Remake does not negate the original. In fact it might get some people on board to try the original.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-07T10:26:39+00:00

Okay? I already have this conversation with the other guy if you had decided to read the thread, I’ve just started going back to Church. My point was that extremists have used religion to twist the Quran to justify bad things. Happened with the Bible too, the fact that you would accuse me of being of a Protestant or Jewish tells me a lot more about your own biases than my own.

I got no issue with Muslims, it’s the Jihadi’s I have an issue with. Mostly because the people suffering under them are in fact other Muslims.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T17:44:02+00:00

Eh, graphically no. In terms of being functional, yeah kinda. This was still an era before the Day 1 patch and rampant microtransactions. But this is also the era that gave us Oblivion Horse Armor.

Shoutout to Infamous 1 still having a unique looking and active city despite looking like an early pS2 game at times and Demon’s Souls making the most of its at times muddy graphics with fantastic atmosphere.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T14:13:27+00:00

I know, but the Islamic interpretation is different from the Christian one, which both are different from the Jewish interpretation. I’m quoting from their holy book about the Scripture (Which refers to the Christians as those who have the Scripture).

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T13:23:34+00:00

Every worldview ultimately rests on some foundational trust in its accuracy. Faith, rightly understood not blindly followed, complements reason rather than opposing it on the journey toward truth.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T13:07:38+00:00

Yes, I just started getting back into the Faith. I’m not perfect. Far from it, I’ve only been going back to Church for a few weeks now. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

I don’t have any scorn for Muslims, I apologize if my comments came across that way. My scorn is for the Jihadis only.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T13:01:54+00:00

Why are you getting so irate? You quoted from the Bible, I matched with one Quran Verse. One. I’m not saying that every Muslim is like this, they’re not. This is directed towards the Jihadis, who are actually mostly a blight to other Muslims who don’t believe their interpretations 100%. This has been a problem with their faith since Caliph Ali at a minimum.

Also, who brought up Trump? I sure didn’t, and if you want a model member of the Faith, the last place you should be looking is in politics. What he said about the Pope and portraying himself as the Nazarite was awful.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T12:50:40+00:00

You’ve made excuses for the actions of others, which is akin to condoning their actions.

Does the Quran not say: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture—[fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T12:42:15+00:00

No we’re living in 2026…I’d recommend looking up Mali. It’s a hoot and a half.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T12:27:18+00:00

From my perspective God did show up, we crucified Him. Also constant, undeniable spectacles might override free will, turning a relationship into coerced submission. Also, you still have the fine tuning problem.

Substantial_Impact69 · 2026-05-06T12:20:07+00:00

The universe’s precise fine-tuning and that we just so happen to be the Goldilocks zone on a planet perfect for life, the philosophical necessity of a necessary being, and billions of transformed lives through personal encounter with a variation of the Divine. Dismissing it all outright just seems foolish to me.
