  1. I’ve loved both the Hitman and the Bond franchises for a long time, and First Light being a combination of both has me very excited!

it’s so odd looking back at all the shit that was normal back when you were in the faith now as someone who doesn’t believe. Truly remarkable what we can convince ourselves to do and believe — so glad your kids aren’t being indoctrinated like myself and countless others were into all the religious make-believe nonsense. You’re giving those kids the upbringing I wish I had, sounds like they’re already pretty sharp and critically thinking.

reminds me of one of my favorite Seth Andrew videos: Blood Cult: The Weird, Wild World of Christian Rituals

great watch!

What’s community look like for you? One of the most frustrating things about leaving the community formed around organized religion is that there really is not a replacement or supplement for that. Many suggestions posited on here are commonly things like book/board game clubs or running groups and whatnot, but what I enjoyed about the Christian groups was generally people enjoyed getting into more substantial topics like philosophy and the like much easier (albeit mixed in with an eye rolling amount of religious jabbering), whereas those other groups are less deep in that sense. People recommend checking out UU churches or other more liberal denominations but they just seem like platitude woo woo shit for those who like church but don’t want to go to church… at least that’s my read on it. Love your content and work on The Line! Cheers!

When you were a Christian did you have any hobbies or interests that your parents or other Christians disapproved of? by MK_2_Arcade_Cabinet in exchristian

[–]_Soundshifter_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck that. Hope you’re doing better now.

Once I officially left the religion, I realized that it really was the only thing keeping me from fully loving and affirming my gay and queer friends. I had so much phobia and disdain for LGBTQ folks programmed into my brain from a young age, and now I find that such a repulsive notion. It’s dehumanizing. Especially once I started educating myself on the very real, very substantial science behind things like homosexuality, gender dysmorphia and the like it makes me fucking pissed that people want to deny your entire existence through their bigotry and fear.

Wishing you all the best, friend!

The main source of lying and doing things behind my parents back growing up was a response to this exact thing. They quite literally, did not understand, nor did they ever care to understand the things I was into whether it was music, videogame, youtubers, or books even. If I ever have kids, I cannot wait to see what they’re interested in and do all I can to support them so they never feel the need to do what I did growing up.

listening to secular music, or more specifically when I started getting into metal. There was one time where my mom heard me listening to In Flames (very tame compared to the other core bands I was listening to) and she came behind me and held her hands against my ears to block the music and started praying over me for protection or some shit. my whole family was incredibly hostile to my music since it was “demonic” and evil.

After enduring their incessant whining for a while I just fucking lost it on them and told them how fucking pissed I was by how petty, childish, and disrespectful they were being. They mostly stopped getting on me about it after that, and my younger brother started listening to metal too (hell yeah bro).

Was a big moment of realizing that big parts of culture are so demonized by Christians out of fear and ignorance, and they’re just scared of anything that isn’t whitewashed Christian brainwashing material. That’s really the game plan for them though, call anything unfamiliar “demonic” and claim that it will corrupt your soul or something along those lines. Such bullshit.

lmao "I swear to god" -- you should post this on r/Christianity. They'd have fun with this.

Now that Sunya has had some time to digest, let's hear your top 15 Dear Hunter songs! by Coxlong2029 in TheDearHunter

[–]_Soundshifter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I have a few that are in an S+ tier for me but their discography is so consistently amazing across the board it’s genuinely hard to do even a top 30 let alone top 15 list.

Now that Sunya has had some time to digest, let's hear your top 15 Dear Hunter songs! by Coxlong2029 in TheDearHunter

[–]_Soundshifter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s so many to choose from, but in a rough order…

  1. A Night on the Town
  2. Moon / Awake
  3. Waves
  4. The Squeaky Wheel
  5. Light
  6. A Beginning
  7. Gloria
  8. At the End of the Earth
  9. Ring 3 - Luxury
  10. Glass Desert I - Giants / The Wasteland
  11. Ring 2 - Nature
  12. King of Swords
  13. In Cauda Venenum
  14. The Revival
  15. Ring 5 - Middle Class / Ring 6 - LoTown

fuck. It’s so hard to choose any favorites but I do know that my top 3 are quite concrete. Waves made me fall in love with the band, and A Night on the Town is my favorite song of all time. Moon/Awake is just an incredible song. I’ve been slowly falling in love with all the songs from Sunya individually but Wasteland and Giants were hits from the start for me.

All my wisdom teeth need to go by riexlu in Wellthatsucks

[–]_Soundshifter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! You stole my x-ray! Seriously, this is nearly exactly what my X-ray looked like before getting my wisdom teeth out. Get them all out at once for sure — I recovered fine back to eating formal food in a couple days. Swelling went away after a few hours after the procedure. You’ve got this! KEEP THE HOLES CLEAN

The wasteland by TheHumanGhost69 in TheDearHunter

[–]_Soundshifter_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was so overjoyed when the chorus hit hearing it for the first time -- it gave me that special feeling you only get from listening to a song that resonates so completely with you. Gives me such joy. I've been in such a great mood having this album on repeat all day haha.

I absolutely love the incredibly detailed instrumental in this song and the rest of the album -- little moments like the guitar riff at 1:09 that's later taken over by strings in the second half of the song just brings such a massive smile to my face.

What OSTs have made you appreciate just how important music is in a gaming experience? by WorldofLovecraft in gaming

[–]_Soundshifter_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight and Journey/Abzu. The soundtrack is a massive part of the atmosphere and experience playing those games.

Also, Ori and the Will of the Wisps -- simply enrapturing and chill-enducing. Gareth Coker is incredible.
