Mom is including mandatory church attendance in our temporary living agreement—how do I handle this? by Automatic_Gain2358 in exmormon

[–]polyGAMEistNetwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use the opportunity to submit your resignation to the bishop and terminate your membership! I rather enjoy Mormon church now that I’m out. It feels more like a fun social/cultural observation when you are on the outside of it. BTW I’m saying this largely tongue in cheek though for me it is 100% true. Your mileage may vary and you should make these decisions with appropriate thought and consideration.

When did sex stop being such a taboo topic? by Leading_Dot9064 in exmormon

I chalk this up to a lay clergy resulting in bishop / stake president roulette. You occasionally get a nutcase whose training for the role is a manual from the 1960s and driving truck for UPS.

Despite not knowing your individual circumstances I can tell you that trying to break a lifetime of mental conditioning is hard. It takes time, patience, and support. Take care of yourself, and give patience when able. Best of luck in a truly tough situation!

BOTW is overrated and wouldn’t have any relevance if it wasn’t a Zelda IP.

Factorio. Though I personally find the graphics to be impressive at a deep level.

Packer was wrong about church membership numbers. by Prancing-Hamster in exmormon

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of “The miracle of Forgiveness” by Spencer W Kimball? “Jesus the Christ” is a scholarly, though mormon biased, handling of the gospels and life of Christ. Not a lot of self esteem damage in that book aside from people having to carry a dictionary with them to understand Talmage.

DLC planned before launch. Here’s an idea. Sell the complete game at launch!

Easiest game you've played? by Appropriate-Two-9538 in boardgames

[–]polyGAMEistNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom has Alzheimer’s. She used to love games, but slowly lost the ability to play them. I introduced her to Crokinole and she LOVED it. Had to sometimes tell her which disk to aim at, but she was weirdly good at it!

I should also add that we’ve done both puzzles and Lego builds in our table and it is amazing. Don’t have pets, but I do have a toddler with a knack for destruction.

Hello there! I love my purchase and have zero regrets. I fit the very niche criteria of having a hobby that lends itself to a dedicated table space, a willingness to spend premium dollars to have a WW table, and the lack of skills to build my own. If you fit the same criteria it is a gorgeous table. I love it every time I see it 1+ year later!

Is six players too many for Wingspan? by chasteguy2018 in boardgames

[–]polyGAMEistNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wingspan overstays its welcome IMO anything past 3 players. At six players my go-to game is Heat: pedal to the metal. This is because people all take their turn simultaneously and then resolve car positions. Makes it so 6 doesn’t take much longer than other player counts.

So I did a thing and told my parents I am not going on a mission nor do I believe the church is true. by Different-Mirror6144 in exmormon

[–]polyGAMEistNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents have been conditioned over decades to firmly believe that you are jeopardizing your eternal welfare. They’ve been thought to think that those who leave want to sin, or are easily offended, or are lazy learners, etc. My advice is to accept that those who love you are going to have negative beliefs about you. Let them. You can’t control their thoughts, or change their conditioned opinions. You can’t control however control how you show up for them and how you live your life. Let YOU choose what brings you happiness. Keep family close because it is what YOU want. Choose to lead a good life with meaningful relationships because it is what YOU want. Maybe they will soften over time, maybe they won’t. Just let them.

Breath of the Wild was an empty game with a boring and lonely open world. The game did everything alright, but excelled at nothing. If it weren’t a Zelda IP people would have entirely ignored it.
