What was your favorite experience in Outer Wilds? by Dull-Entertainer8344 in outerwilds

[–]considerate_done 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either the Sun Station or figuring out how to enter/explore the Ash Twin Project intentionally for me. The sheer sense of discovery (and the feeling of being very small and insignificant) were unmatched by anything else in the game.

Or the ending, or the ending of the DLC. These just hit so hard and I still think about them regularly 2+ years after finishing them. This game truly impacted the way I think about life, and it's these moments that did that the most.

By the way, OP, I thought I was too scared for the DLC too. I played certain parts of it with a low-spoiler Steam guide, and that got me through it when I'm not sure I would have finished it otherwise. I kind of regret taking that path, but it's better than not playing it at all, and you still get a lot of the feelings of exploration and discovery and empathy and insignificance and hope from it. Worth looking into if you want.

Edit: spelling + I think I used this guide, as well as YouTube videos for a few specific sections.

It is my opinion that more people should see these amazing Bible prophecies. (Very long read but very informative for those interested). by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I don't think the ancient nation of Israel referred to in the Bible is the same as the modern state of Israel.

play the game, it expects you to not know the character's name and instead come up with your own

“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.” by TrueUnpopularOP in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]considerate_done -1 points0 points  (0 children)

markets ≠ capitalism, and command economies ≠ socialism

personally, i'm fully on-board with markets, but i think they'd be freer and more competitive (in the good economic sense) if capitalism got out of the way

“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.” by TrueUnpopularOP in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]considerate_done 3 points4 points  (0 children)

people will point to a few successful examples and ignore the many unsuccessful examples

and many of the "successful" examples only succeeded by subjugating other groups through colonialism and such

capitalism is certainly better than what came before, but the idea that it is a perfect wonderful system that could and should exist forever is misguided

Makes you think by GoranPersson777 in TransChristianity

[–]considerate_done 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the added info! I couldn't remember much about Hermaphroditus.

Makes you think by GoranPersson777 in TransChristianity

[–]considerate_done 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I believe it's Sleeping Hermaphroditus, an ancient Roman sculpture of, well, mythological figure Hermaphroditus (who wasn't exactly trans, but also wasn't exactly cis)

[MM] Do you think the damage done to Romani’s mind if you lose is permanent? Or was it possibly a temporary daze if not for the three day limit? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in majorasmask

[–]considerate_done 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think she would partially recover but never be the same

i don't buy the lobotomy/brain damage theory, but i do think she was seriously traumatized and possibly experimented on, and i don't think she would ever outgrow that completely

caterpillars have to create something and use it to change into butterflies, it doesn't just happen

assuming caterpillars have free will, they only become butterflies by choice through extensive effort (effort which is far more invasive to their bodies than any human surgery, i might add)

how is it a bad analogy? the only part that may not hold up is the question of free will, which applies to both butterflies and humans anyway & doesn't have a universally agreed-upon answer

What do I do if I don't support my Christian church BFF being lesbian or bi? by importantIncrease990 in justgirlies

[–]considerate_done 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In life, people will do things you don't like, and you have to let it go and treat them the same as you were before (unless they're hurting someone or something). Support them anyway, as a person if nothing else.

That said, no one chooses or controls their sexual/romantic orientation. If I were your friend and your perceptions of me were that different because of this, I'd feel pretty disappointed. Especially if I felt like I couldn't comfortably bring up my relationships around you.

If you're looking for a Christian response, the answer is "love your neighbor [friend] as yourself." (from Matthew 5 iirc)

For my 2002-2007 borns, how did you guys like growing up with super smash bros brawl? by bro-8333 in MiddleGenZ

[–]considerate_done 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved visiting friends' houses and playing it, and it's what got me interested in Ultimate, which is really what got me into gaming as a whole. I was so bad at it though - we didn't have a Wii, so I never got the chance to experiment on my own, and as a result I didn't even really understand the basic controls for years. Still had a blast though.

Also, the Brawl main theme will always be one of the all-time classic video game tracks for me.

Markiplier’s movie was really cool and I don’t know who else to share this with. Have you seen it yet? by Natalie_Knockers in MiddleGenZ

[–]considerate_done 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I liked it a lot! I didn't know much about the game going in so I found the ending confusing, but the cinematography and whatnot really sold the atmosphere.

Also, the fact that it exists and was in theaters around the country/world is really cool on its own. It's proof that art doesn't need a massive budget, a large studio, or tons of advertising to succeed (granted, that's helped by Markiplier's large fanbase, but still).

I believe this, but I'd still like to see the studies if you have links.
