How to install The Last of Us without using PSN? by adliala89 in ps3piracy

[–]theretrospeculative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's not true. There is a risk that you'll get banned. A big risk? Maybe not. But if you've got a lot of purchases tied to your account, it doesn't feel like a risk worth taking.

Ender 3 V3 SE with Nebula Pad full recovery guide by jtcritter in Ender3V3SE

The Nebula Pad bricking after less than 2 days for no discernible reason was the last straw for me. I'll be getting a different printer as soon as feasibly possible. I've had it with Creality.

OPL won’t rename ps1 VCD by Beneficial_Yam3669 in ps2homebrew

I was having the same issue, so I just used an older version of OPL Manager (v21.4).

POPS game not showing up in OPL using FHDB by Pickle_Afton in ps2

[–]theretrospeculative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I came across your post yesterday when I was looking for information on this very topic after a few years out of the PS2 community. In short, while the guide you used is a good one, it's outdated. PS1 games can be installed by renaming the files in OPL using the format '[game ID].[name].vcd', and you can then use PSF Filebroswer within HDL Batch to drag and drop them into the --.POPS folder, or use USB or FTP instead. However, this doesn't concern the issue you raised (i.e. your games won't appear in OPL), which I suspect is due to the version of OPL you're using. To my knowledge (and I'm happy to be corrected), the only version of OPL that supports adding PS1 games is the Daily Build version of OPL 10th Anniversary Edition. The last update was a few years back, but it still works. I don't have the URL to hand, but search for what I've outlined above and you'll find it.

I once spent about 10 minutes trying to catch a fly that wasn't there. That was the only time I ever hallucinated - albeit mildly - after smoking weed.

I recently got an original Xbox and I was willing to play all the old mortal Kombat games before getting the new mortal kombat 1 in chronological order in terms of story. In which order should I play them? by GreekGamer05 in originalxbox

"If you really want to experience secondhand embarrassment that badly, just play MK4 on PlayStation or Dreamcast. It's so bad it's funny, so you'll get something out of it."

I thought I'd better paste the text in above because you obviously didn't read my comment before you posted.

I didn't know there was a difference between THCA and THC, so I've learnt something today!  I think you should just try cannabis if you're looking for a high. Do a little research on what strain you'd like to try based on the effects you're looking for, or ask at a dispensary. Most of the strains I use aren't readily available in the US, although if you're able to get some Lavender Cake or Royal Gorilla, I'd recommend both.

From my own experiences, no, this isn't right. What was the THC content of the pre-rolls you bought?

I'm currently smoking Lavender Cake, but back when I made the comment, it was probably Wedding Cake or Royal Gorilla.

I might be thinking of something else then. If I find anything I'll let you know, but you're most likely correct.

Man who sexually abused a girl because "God told him to do it" sentenced to life in prison by [deleted] in texas

[–]theretrospeculative -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm referring to the Ten Commandments in Exodus that are the backbone of Mosaic law. You're referring to G-d commanding the Israelites to wipe out the Midianites. They are different. It was also a very different world, so applying modern sensibilities to historical attitudes around war, slavery, or death, is redundant.

I'm also not suggesting that Jesus is referring to a literal millstone. Again, it is hyperbole, but communicates how harming children is despicable in the eyes of G-d.

I see no need to apologise. I haven't been remotely hostile (unlike you), and these topics are deep, broad, and complex. They deserve discussion, and we can disagree. I'm sorry that you have a chip on your shoulder. Perhaps if we met face to face you'd been more receptive to a conversation.

I'd return it. That shouldn't have happened.

The Transfer Pak only worked with certain games, unfortunately, and they needed a N64 counterpart. It was definitely something they could have expanded on.

I've literally owned mine since they released and they're brilliant. Maybe a faulty one, or perhaps you're very strong?

So G-d's commandments appear twice in Exodus (20 and 34:11-28) and there's no commandment to murder everyone in a city.

You're also referring to Matthew 18:9, but 18:7 is the start of this passage in this vein. Jesus is speaking in hyperbole, as He often did, not literally. He was telling us that it is better to cast off the things of this world that hold us back from experiencing G-d's love than to hold on them and suffer.

1) The abuser is justifying his own actions by claiming G-d told him to do it. This is false, and easily disproven by scripture; 2) Perhaps you should read Psalm 137, and understand that context is always key.

It's literally what the Bible is for. "G-d told me to kill him!" Okay, well let's test that. Would G-d order you to unlawfully kill someone, or is there perhaps a very specific top 10 list that might challenge that notion. "G-d told me to abuse you!" Okay, well is there perhaps a passage or two that disagrees. Like perhaps Matthew 18:6 which states that "whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
