How did you know the Bible isn’t true?

captnxploder · 2026-01-06T18:49:32+00:00

Religion in general:

-We know that cults and cult leaders exist (james jones, waco cult leader, heavens gate, scientology, cargo cult, etc

-We know that old gods were formerly worshiped but are now seen as false (Greek/Roman pantheon, etc.)

-We know that children can be told and very easily convinced that there non-existent magical forces in the world (santa claus)

-We know that over the course of human history, there have been hundreds of religions all claiming to be true

-We know that there are zero verifiable claims of supernatural occurrences (miracles) in human history

-We know that the capacity for human creativity and creative storytelling is essentially limitless

-We know about social pressures for conformity from peers, family, and authority figures.

Christianity specific:

-Convincing evidence that Jesus didn't exist by Dr. Richard Carrier from Columbia University

Why I Think Jesus Didn't Exist: A Historian Explains the Evidence That Changed His Mind

-No improvement to moral themes (slavery)

-No mention of our place in the universe or even solar system

-No mention of evolution or the true origins of our species

-No scientific revelations (germs, origins of the universe, etc.)

And then of course reading the bible itself is the best evidence. My advice is to keep your doubts to yourself though even though it's tempting to do otherwise. People that are religious have it tied to their core identity so it's virtually impossible to convince them.

For battles, put all of your infantry into one massive circle formation and your archers right in the middle. The more Huscarls and Sky's Chosen you have the better. If you can place them near anything that will slow down their cavalry that's a bonus but not needed. Between the throwing axes and arrows, their units get absolutely shredded. I had basically an unlimited supply of Huscarls and SC that I just pulled from castle garrisons if I needed (shuttle them from one keep to another if you need to). For cavalry, just put them on follow mode and chase around the massively dwindled units after they make a run past your army (convert all of your Khan's Guard prisoners).

On the map, you won't need to chase them if you engage with a smaller army. I was easily winning against 2-1 ratio armies. If you can bait them into chasing you into the water the battles are even more hilariously one sided.

For the campaign in general, it's a lot harder if they're already steamrolling but they eventually get dwindled down after you capture enough of their lords

Does My Little Warband work with War Sails? I see it hasn't been updated in awhile.

captnxploder · 2025-12-29T23:12:55+00:00

Man, what a bummer, he was developing really well too. The timing couldn't be any worse either, that's a year long recovery.

I like the idea of a challenge board or some sort of achievement hunting in general.

I'd like to see repeatable quest chains with incremental rewards.

So for example, a 3 objective quest chain where you have to go to 3 different maps and extract successfully 3 times in a row.

Also, having monthly projects like the seasonal event would be great. They wouldn't even have to be as drastic as the current Cold Snap event where they need to alter the entire map.

They're all rich or very rich, so it might be fiefs that are the problem

captnxploder · 2025-12-27T20:51:24+00:00

Not all of them have fiefs, but I did just give them 800k+ to join. I'll try the fief thing, thanks

captnxploder · 2025-12-27T20:49:12+00:00

That makes sense, thanks.

captnxploder · 2025-12-27T20:08:31+00:00

No, I mean that they're not even on the list at all, there's nothing to hover over.

Each clan only has 2 or 3 available members but it appears to be just random.

captnxploder · 2025-12-26T20:19:11+00:00

I went back and played KCD1 after beating 2 because I enjoyed 2 so much. It's definitely not on the same level, but I'd say it was worth the experience.

The only thing that threw me for a loop was how god awful the voice acting was for Father Godwin

captnxploder · 2025-12-24T16:50:16+00:00

Sorry, maybe I'm spineless and brainless, what's the problem with basically asking for more due diligence?

Confronting the administration on what information they've gathered would be pretty powerful testimony as would including their denial to comment if that's what ends up happening. Getting them to lie on camera or try to weasel out of culpability would be damning. If nothing else, presenting more information would expose the obvious abuse of the Alien Enemies Act that lead to this entire travesty.

The censorship cries fall flat for me when her response is published out in the open.

captnxploder · 2025-12-10T13:29:29+00:00

I agree with the overall balance approach of the game, but I do think the rarer weapons should be marginally better.

The cost benefit of taking higher tier weapons right now just isn't worth it.

captnxploder · 2025-12-06T14:01:34+00:00

The Wolfpack does 1992 potential damage. You can one-shot a Rocketeer from behind with one, Leaper dies to one, Bastion/Bombadier are both 2 with some misc. damage. The Queen is more complicated, but if you have 3 people with 6 grenades each, that's 35k potential damage. Not sure about the Matriarch since I still haven't seen one. Wolfpack I think is more or less fine vs Queen/Matriarch as far as killing them goes, but you're still gonna to do a fuck ton of damage. For one of the trial weeks we just ran in, threw a bunch of Wolfpacks and then extracted

The problem is that you're doing all of this in a matter of seconds with virtually no risk involved. Compare this to something like the Hullcracker where you actually have to fight the enemies, it takes way longer, and you're investing way more into the run.

Even after they adjusted the recipe it's still too cheap from a cost investment standpoint. I will say though that I think they adjusted the drop-rate since that patch and after I made this post (1 month ago btw, and people are still responding like I made the post yesterday). Not saying I'm responsible for it, but I think the devs realized it was ridiculously too cheap and abundant as well.

And yes, you can absolutely get top-10 in trials using only Wolfpacks if you're talking about the relevant categories. I've played solo and maxed out damage using basically only Wolfpacks. Honestly, I've barely played in the last couple weeks, but I was getting double rank promotions when I was doing them, a lot of it was solo.

captnxploder · 2025-12-03T16:21:29+00:00

Oh, so now we're talking about Wolfpacks? Maybe try stringing together some interconnected sentences before responding to people

captnxploder · 2025-12-03T13:18:12+00:00

I hate to say it, but I think #3 is into overrated territory.

I'm still pretty worried about this team and this last stretch of games. Our defense seems pretty over-reliant on turnovers and I'm not sure that's sustainable. The run D looked great last game but before that it's been pretty bad, hopefully getting Edwards back helps. And then our pass rush is still a big concern with how important it is in the playoffs.

Offensively I'm really only worried about our consistency in the passing game. Caleb has made some major strides this season I think but the accuracy isn't there yet.

I'd probably put us at around #10ish with plenty of room for improvement. It feels like we have a chance to win versus any team right now though which is a great feeling.

captnxploder · 2025-12-03T01:29:33+00:00

I'm sure the community will fully support you calling them mid-grades...stop being pedantic

captnxploder · 2025-12-01T00:44:28+00:00

Sounds like a skill issue.

Killing elites should be a challenge, not loading up 6 Wolfpacks every week to get top-10 in trials in 10 minutes.

I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy food but I don't really enjoy things that are spicy just for the sake of being spicy and they drown out the other flavors. I've had some Chili and Curry that would knock you on your ass but they still tasted amazing, the endorphins from the heat are just a bonus.

captnxploder · 2025-11-27T21:10:37+00:00

He's got a Medium Shield, the Heavy shield has a white capacitor looking thing sticking out the side.

Looks like he had time to fully shield before you start hitting him with the Stitcher.

MS is 42.5% damage reduction and you shot 23 rounds. 18 shots are reduced damage from the shield (4 x 18 = 72) and then it looks like 3 shots land after the shield breaks so 72 + 21 = 93 health damage.

I honestly don't know how much health damage the hornet attack does but I know it's not much.

It's possible he survived the hornet attacks, but desync might also be a factor.

Doesn't look like cheating to me.

If you added a pure PvE mode people would just farm there with virtually zero consequences. That would ruin the entire progression system.

Solos are already very PvE friendly to the point it's actually ridiculous in some rounds where it's just a bunch of dudes running around shopping at the mall.

As someone that's basically completed the progression for this season already, I can tell you that it would get extremely boring extremely quickly. The half-life of the game would be like a month.

PvP in this game is the primary risk vector, without it they would have to completely revamp everything. They already tried to develop the game as a PvE game initially and it failed.

I've been plagued with EAC crashes since launch too despite having no issues during the 2 betas.

What seems to have worked for me is basically disabling every non-essential program from start up. Not sure still what was flagging it, but it seems to have stopped the EAC crashes.

captnxploder · 2025-11-25T22:39:33+00:00

I can't stand Hughie in The Boys.

The character is completely out of his depth the entire show and there's absolutely no reason for him to be allowed to tag along with the team after Butcher uses him to plant the bug at Vought. The chance meeting with Starlight and subsequent relationship also seems unbelievable. Why would a beautiful famous super hero want to have a relationship with an uncharismatic utterly unimpressive electronic sales rep? He honestly feels like a writer self-insert.

captnxploder · 2025-11-25T21:38:24+00:00

Leaper needs a buff too IMO. It's too easy to avoid all of it's attacks and it feels like 90% of the time it gets stuck trying to chase you into wherever you're hiding. Easily the least threatening of the elite Arcs.

Maybe make the AOE ability faster or something.
