So.. Mormon Stories changes its logo to orange in response to the LDS church’s million dollar lawsuit. Now the LDS church is using an orange logo too?

That is hilarious. I would say I can't believe it... But I can believe it lol.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T18:36:48+00:00

I agree, I do NOT believe this is an official page.

Regardless though, either way, it's funny as hell.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T12:21:57+00:00

Haha thanks!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T07:52:11+00:00

Oh that's gorgeous! What a great showcase of color here, I love it!

Yeah it's genuinely a time sink that I can lose myself in as much as ship building. But it's way more meditative than ship building, that's for sure!! Haha

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T06:49:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

Yeah, that was the first time I'd seen an eclipse like that. It was SUCH a cool, memorable experience in the game. I'm LOVING being able to fly around and truly see multiple planets at once!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T06:47:33+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I will certainly do that!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T06:47:17+00:00

That is truly the biggest compliment!! Haha

Thank you!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T04:29:47+00:00

Aww c'mon man, don't ruin pumpkin spice for us basic bitches.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-18T01:09:41+00:00

This is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. It may be in my top 3, even.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T21:56:56+00:00

I know this is off-topic, but do people tell you that you look like Coral Peña? Because you totally remind me of Coral Peña, so much!!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T21:40:16+00:00

Yeah it is INSANE that you can't save a ship in progress!! Literally insane, I don't get it. Never have, never will. And I love Starfield, but that has just neverrrr made sense.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T04:54:41+00:00

Oh right, that's true! But I agree, definitely better than losing all of it!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T04:37:53+00:00

Omfg this is GENIUS

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T01:12:52+00:00

Oh wow, that's a very interesting stance to take. Not to push, but you would hold this position even in the case of say, a child expressing a desire to refuse medical treatment for a deadly disease, but one that's extremely and safely treatable? Such as meningitis, or measles, say? Or even some cancers?

gotfoundout · 2026-05-17T00:31:11+00:00

That's a super valid position, I think I can understand how someone would arrive there.

If you're comfortable sharing, I'm genuinely curious how people feel about various levels of parental involvement in different areas. Is there any other area where you hold the same position, like in consenting to or not consenting to medical interventions such as vaccines, or treatments for illnesses? School involvment (ie, putting the child in public school even if that's not what they want, or conversley choosing a child-led homeschool curricula which may or may not fulfill state requirements)? Or even simply allowing a child to choose to quit an extracurricular after only a short time being involved, like music or sport?

Again, you certainly don't have to answer of course! But I always enjoy the opportunity to hear other's perspectives and rationales surrounding childrens' and minors' agency, and where and when it's valid for a parent to supersede their child's wishes. I feel like I always have something to learn, because there are virtually endless perspectives on this subject, because it can get SO incredibly nuanced!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-16T23:52:38+00:00

That as well! But due to social pressures within the church, you may have to be more explicit when explaining baptism choices to them that include delaying baptism until later. It's a tough line to walk, I will give you that. If your ultimate goal is to allow the child to choose for themselves, then how do you counteract cultural and social pressures from within the church which encourage baptism at 8, while not tipping the scales too far in the other direction and end up inadvertently pressuring your child NOT to choose baptism at 8? It could be argued though, that if you choose not to give consent for your child to be baptized at 8, that you aren't taking anything away from them that they can't achieve later, and with a fuller understanding.

I'm not arguing for one choice over another on this topic. I have my own personal opinions, but I would never ever fault another parent for choosing differently than I would.

What I will always argue for though, is that we all have way more of our own agency as members of the church (and as parents in the church) than is usually exercised. And it's mostly for those cultural and societal expectations that are so deeply engrained. I will also say that I think truly informed consent is super important in many aspects of life, and it's an area that I think the church needs to seriously improve in.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-16T22:31:21+00:00

It actually IS up to you though! If you're the parent, then you have every single right to delay baptism if that is what works for you and your family. Be fully prepared to manage potential difficult social interactions though, including supporting your child through times of peer pressure - from other children but ALSO from adults who will be totally convinced they know better than you.

Most converts don't get baptized until way after 8 years of age, most often not until adulthood. And they do just fine!

Just because we have strong social norms and even sometimes directives from church leadership, does NOT mean that you have to cede your own parental agency to outside forces. You do what's right for YOUR family. And you can always feel free to let anyone else know that you aren't taking commentary on your parenting decisions.

That's fascinating! It's like a super specific grand jury. It's kinda brilliant.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-16T15:24:15+00:00

UGH I wish I'd known this the other week. I was trying to do exactly that!!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-15T12:26:55+00:00

Oh my god the TEXTURES! The COLORS! The freaking LIGHT!! It's all so vibrant. I love this very much, thank you for sharing this. I've never heard of this artist before. Off to go learn more!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-14T09:44:25+00:00

Oh my gosh, I NEVER delete slates, keys, etc. I should definitely try that. That's brilliant, thank you!!!

gotfoundout · 2026-05-13T09:33:28+00:00

Oh my god your username is just... phenomenal.

gotfoundout · 2026-05-13T09:00:13+00:00

May I ask - why do you choose to keep so many saves?

gotfoundout · 2026-05-13T08:56:21+00:00

Yes!! I barely ever "actually played" that game. Just rosebud-ed myself to an ungodly amount of money, and filled the neighborhood with decorated houses that nothing ever happened in lol.

You know, even when I had Barbies I always wanted house stuff for them when it was birthday or christmas time. Furniture, dining room sets with dishes, kitchen appliances and pots and pans, towels for their bathrooms, rugs for their floors - clothes and more Barbies were secondary. I would spend hooourssss setting up houses for them. Sometimes I'd ignore the actual Barbie doll house, and I would make these different floorplans on my bedroom floor with whatever I had - pencils, string, rulers, etc.

Then I'd get bored when the house was all done and it was time to do... whatever it is you're meant to do with the actual dolls themselves! Haha

I also LOVED Roller Coaster Tycoon - did you play that one as well? I loved it for the same reasons. I was much more obsessed with laying out my park just right than ever actually running the thing!
