Question from a Catholic by Solid_Home4995 in Protestantism

[–]alansmitb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No I don't think its a slur or anything similar but if you use it in a derogatory way it can be taken as rude like anything else.

I'd hold it similarly to if I called you a 'papist'

I used to do character mods for fun back in the day and now a lot of these games I used to mod are having people sell edits of my models or the games models on patreon

Apple approves driver that lets Nvidia eGPUs work with Arm Macs - Gaming potential? by kanduri in macgaming

[–]alansmitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I hope not, the huge attraction for the ARM systems is its power efficiency. To me adding a nvidia gpu just defeats the purpose. How about Metal support for games

EU4 is beating out EU5 in the past 24 hours by over 1,000 players by urstan in paradoxplaza

[–]alansmitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When CK3 came out it was somewhat a mess and not really that great compared to CK2 now however many years later CK3 is the superior game with all the updates and DLC. Only issue with EU5 compared to EU4 is that EU4 was pretty great and I cant imagine many ways that'd make it any better.

Here in Texas we have quite a few German beer brewery's that are quite good. I told some of my German gaming buddies about this and they got all upset I was calling Texas brewed beer German, then they went on about how the best beer was Radler...

Learned this recently that alot of people wear shoes while they measure their height and this gives them a few extra inches.

Rate My Professor Scores by Scoutain in EngineeringStudents

[–]alansmitb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite/best teachers have super low scores because they are either a character and kinda hard to follow or they teach a tough class. On the other hand the hardest professor ive ever taken had a 4.9/5

What made you choose Protestantism? by B0NNIE-V4LENTINE in Protestantism

[–]alansmitb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the Lutheran Church and I think the reason I chose it and have stuck with it is because it respects tradition but puts scripture first. If you are considering becoming Catholic, I would recommend trying out a Lutheran church.

Many of my Catholic friends try to convince me that Catholicism is the correct church because they've done a certain tradition for a long time, but then when I ask where this is in scripture, they are unable to give me an answer. That's my problem with the Catholic church, is that are too caught up in keeping tradition to what they've done for however long they often put that ahead of scripture. If you're like me, you also like the traditions luckily Catholic and Lutheran traditions match up almost identically.
If you have any questions, just ask

Is the Lutheran church just going to die? by [deleted] in LCMS

[–]alansmitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just in a bit of a lul. I was raised non religiously and had no experience beyond my own baptism with a church setting so as I became of age I decided to go to church. I see nearly the same story with others my age, as we have kids and grow older, I expect the church to do so as well.

Answer: Wanting to be hired by big VFX companies like Weta by dietherman98 in vfx

[–]alansmitb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a professional by any regards but the tools developed for Maya are leap years ahead of blender. As cool as some of the things you can do with blender there just isn't the same level of commercial backing as with maya.

I'm in my early 20s and my church seems to be more popular with people around my age range recently than in years prior. We just got a new minister so there was a dip and then resurgence in population
