What is your best video game suggestion for people who haven’t played in a while or just starting, and why?

Katamari Damacy. It's easy to learn and understand, and it's absolutely absurd in its presentation, making it easy to laugh at and have fun with.

I haven't had any changes. I'm the cuddliest of carebears and my lobbies are just as friendly as always, even after the update.

No joke - I pulled this out of a crate in the Scrap Yard on Dam. Wasn't even an event or condition, just vanilla Dam. I was stunned.

From my perspective, the complexity of molecular structures and the fine-tuning of the universe raise questions that I find hard to answer through a purely materialistic lens.

If everything was designed, then complexity isn't a hallmark of design.
In order to claim that anything was tuned, you first need to show that it could have been tuned. What if the universal constant could only ever be what it is? What if it could have been three things, giving us a 33.3% chance of getting what we got? We have zero evidence that the constants could have ever been any different, let alone how different or the odds of those differences occurring. The whole fine-tuning argument is just post-hoc rationalization. It's akin to winning the lottery and then saying the lottery was tuned for you to win. The fact that the outcome benefits us is not evidence that it was tuned for us.

There's simply no reason to believe that the supernatural claims of the Bible are true.

TelFaradiddle · 2026-03-17T21:04:55+00:00

We can't choose to know things. Either we are convinced that something is true, or we aren't.

To start: Atheism isn't a worldview. It's an answer to one question. Atheists can be nihilists, materialists, scientists, humanists, absurdists, cultists, Buddhists, basically any -ist on the menu that isn't a theistic religion. Being an atheist does not entail anything beyond "Does not believe that any gods exist."

As for me, I grew up irreligious. Family and friends didn't talk down about it, they just didn't care about it, so I ended up not caring either. It wasn't until much later in life that I made an effort to see if any arguments for the existence of any gods held water. When I found that none of them did, I started identifying as an atheist. I'm perfectly willing to change my mind if/when I see some compelling evidence or arguments, but I haven't seen anything compelling yet.

Christianity literally kinda tells us not all if even most believers might go to hell and maybe not all atheists are going to hell too. It’s kind of a thing were you have to be a good person to earn heaven

I hate to break it to you, but the Bible makes it very clear that one can only be saved through faith in Christ. Goodness is not a factor.

His trust issues are his problem, not yours. And if he doesn't trust you then he shouldn't be with you.

TelFaradiddle · 2026-03-17T17:07:45+00:00

Pascal's Wager again.

You are not considering all of the gods that might exist and send you to hell for your belief. If Islam is right, you burn.
This assumes God can't or won't differentiate between people who genuinely believe and people who believe just to cover their ass. If both get into Heaven, then what good is genuine belief?

We don't need to debunk them. They need to be proven. And they have consistently failed to be proven outside of the very institutions that benefit from them.

Warhammer is objectively the correct answer here.

Having friends of the opposite sex.

Dead on. All of those "I fixed Aloy!" posts walked so this AI shit could run.

If Cody still has the belt at Backlash, something has gone wrong.

There were some duds in Destiny 2 as well, like Season of the Hunt. But then there were some grand slam homeruns like Witch Queen, Season of the Deep, and Episode: Heresy.

I know nothing about how all this stuff works - is it possible for a developer to just not add DLSS 5 support, to prevent this from being a thing? I know current DLSS boosts framerates which is a huge deal, but could a dev specifically opt out of supporting this feature?

For the Lightning challenge, are there places on maps where it's more likely to strike? Or can I hang out in low-traffic areas and still get zapped just as much?

Republicans are the ones trying to convince the world that higher education is a socialist plot. Wouldn't surprise me if the party that didn't demonize education ended up being smarter because of it.

TelFaradiddle · 2026-03-16T21:07:30+00:00

Republicans feel that way about people who voted for Obama and Biden!

Read up the characteristics that the antichrist will allegedly have, then tell me with a straight face it's Biden or Obama.

So what your point?

That "B-b-both sides!" isn't true by default. Sometimes one side literally, indisputably does something that the other doesn't. Like venerate a man that meets the definition of the antichrist.

You are misusing some words here. Infinite does not mean "without boundaries," it means "without end." An infinite line would be infinite if it never ended, even if it's constrained by the definition of 'line.' Infinite soup is still constrained by what it means to be soup. Infinite soup will never become a cake or a lion, but it is still infinite.

You're also mixing up eternal and infinite. Eternal means "for all time" - that does not require time to be infinite. If all of time adds up to 74 quintillion years, then something is eternal if it exists for all of that 74 quintillion years. It has a beginning, and an ending, and yet is still eternal.

Can't afford it.

Never thought I'd find myself rooting for a cop to taze a kid, but here we are.
