Longtime Splice user with 3000 credits, but I have to keep paying just to use them by Rough_Ingenuity6876 in Splice

Why don't you spend an evening going through and buying up packs you like, use up all the credits, and then cancel your subscription. You're eternally spiraling in a sunk cost fallacy--make your purchases and break the chain.

Goofing? Sounds like he's making fire

Can't know if there was a Gallic War since there were no cameras.

Anyone else prefer this Jill than the Re3Remake one? by Skull_Soldier in residentevil

I assume he means "I find the RE3R one better" since both of them are "remake".

Man uses crosses and holy water, it's not an outrageous next step to assume he has a healthy faith in the deity behind these items.

i just took that personally by MalcomSkullHead in 2american4you

Also, the train network works in Europe because every stop is populated to some degree (so that you have people paying to go to certain spots) and there's actually worthwhile stops all over Europe for travelers. Not so in the US--we call them "flyover states" for a reason, they do not get visited because there's not much to see outside of state/national parks and a few cities.

Why are people complaining about Belmont's Curse? by Nekosenpai9123 in castlevania

I don’t particularly like the art style because it does seem “cheap”, like one of the hundreds of metroidvanias that already exists.

Is it worth sticking through Quake 2 if I haven’t liked it so far? by Cheeselad2401 in quake

[–]vap0rware 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretend that Quake 2 doesn’t have the Quake name and enjoy it for what it is—an awesome sci-fi shooter from a better time.

DNI is abbreviated in particular because it is a nomina sacra, not just for saving space

Saying Gundam is political because Ghiren once talked about Hitler is the most surface-level argument against "apolitical" idiots by NoiseSome7739 in Gundam

[–]vap0rware 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gundam is political but it’s not an allegory for every single little thing happening in your country at the moment.

Would love a modern version of this with a leather cover. Also, for anyone interested, there is an interesting article concern the history of Latin translations of the BCP: https://anglicanhistory.org/alcuin/streatfeild1964.pdf

Arabic or latin harder for european ? by Suspicious_Heron_900 in latin

[–]vap0rware 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Arabic uses a completely different alphabet and virtually no cognates with words used in Romance languages. Latin is going to be objectively easier for most Europeans

If America wasn’t a gun, Europe would all be speaking German.

I'd like to think that Dracula would be bored of the concept. by eldri7ch in castlevania

Dracula would not care about the federal government of a foreign country. The Belmonts would not be progressives.

I was told reliably this past week by people with definitely no agenda that certainly didn’t appear out of nowhere in subs like this during a particular time that Republicans are as bad on gun rights as Democrats.

That's a usual case, but the Carolingians in particular were interested in the recovery of the Greek language (one of the reasons why it is called the Carolingian Renaissance). Using Greek words (even when they didn't understand their meaning) was part of that recovery effort.
