Pretty spider. We get similar ones here, but they are yellow and black

I wasnt a fan of this one. Didn't like the battle system and the plot was basically "friendship is magic".

That said though I loved the story ending and the post game plot

Bears have more meat and eating people is frowned upon

I got stuck in nightmare before Christmas land for an extended period of time back when the game came out and I still get the background music stuck in my head

Damn time flies

Why would god even put forbidden fruit in the garden if he knew they were gonna eat it? Or why let the snake in the garden if he knew it would trick them?

I also don't understand why the children always get punished for the sins of the father

I've got another question, if you need to believe in god/jesus and have faith in him in order to go to heaven, does that mean everyone who has never encountered Christianity (such as uncontacted tribes, people in some remote areas, etc) and have never even heard of god will just be excluded from heaven without ever getting the opportunity?

I mean, please.

I was as Catholic as you can get. Born into the religion and took every word as absolute.

What tore me away from it was, to be kind of humble, Family Guy. There was an episode where Lois was trying to find a new religion, the gag at the end of it was that "all religion is bullshit anyway". I laughed, and that was it, I didn't believe in god anymore.

God lives in the head of every religious person as an imaginary friend. You never want to let go of this friend. This friend is always there for you. The downside is that they never talk back, God is always silent. You always are fighting the feelings of atheism, the idea that he's really not there. That's more powerful than anything else in my experience, the feeling you get with your best friend, God. All problems you have can be solved by him, eventually.

When I left I felt some relief, as well as the feelings you get when you lose your best friend. It was a cascade of shedding my Conservative beliefs. Gays didn't have to be evil anymore, global warming could be true. Trans people could be valid and acceptable. I was allowed to truly think about things objectively.

I still remember the days I spent with my grandma in bible study fondly. She really believed those things and wanted the best for me.

Personally I will never be able to feel religion again, I've seen all of it.

Sounds like you had a great experience being free of it. I have been atheist my whole life. Recently someone close to me who was also atheist found the catholic faith and joined the church. They have been trying hard to push me into the catholic faith, but I've been heavily resistant. They keep wanting to know why I don't want to believe in god, and none of my answers seem to make sense to them. it's driving me nuts.

I'm an atheist who has done years of bible study in Catholicism. It's the main denomination of Christianity.

He has a branching exponential knowledge of everything. He knows all possibilities and the results of everything and all outcomes. You have free will. Angels do not, interestingly, which is what separates them from humans.

But they do have free will. He was aware of all outcomes. That must give humans some edge over him.

He created humans because he "was so happy that he wanted to share his happiness and be even happier". There's no experiment. A portion of people will go to heaven, and the ones who don't choose him will not.

I'm going to go with yes but I really don't know. It's a work of fiction that's thought up as it goes. The Catholic church has an administration where they meditate on these pressing issues, and anything the pope says is infallible.

I'd love to pick your brain a little more. Where you actually catholic? What made you leave the faith if so?

So if God knows everything, including everything that ever has and ever will happen, doesn't that mean that everything that ever happens is predetermined? And by extension wouldn't that imply that free will is a lie since everything that ever will happen, including this post questioning it, was known by God at the beginning of time?

On that same note, every time God was disappointed in humanity in the Bible, be it the great flood or eating the forbidden fruit, wouldn't he have known about it in advance?

Like he would have known the entire human experiment would have been a failure long before he even started it.... unless of course it ultimately ends in a success.

On that same note does God know of any action he himself will ever take?

What has prevented you from beating it?

nothing has stopped me from beating it (honestly still slowly slogging through it) but I'm not getting the good feels a lot of other players are getting.

What drives me nuts is that I understand why a lot of people can see it as good, I'm just not really getting those same feelings as those people are.

Oddly enough I've had more success with jumping than rolling a lot of the time.

But yeah, it's tiring, especially since I don't get a lot of time to game these days

I started around time dlc came out. I feel it started strong but the gameplay is starting to wear on me. Currently in snowy area at the warrior dude who spawns with two ghost warrior dudes. It feels like every single encounter so far has been an absolute struggle and I'm just getting tired. Game feels like it gives you no breaks. Also probably just standard from software stuff. On a side note the world is beautiful and the voice acting is great.

Is it like demon souls? I played that many years ago

I've been on the fence about it for a while and it's on sale now.

I dunno if it really counts as a workout routine, but I live on a farm and am constantly throwing hay and doing physical labor that has kept me in pretty good shape.

Thanks. I had me a nice family BBQ and got plowed the wife.

Monty Python made an entire song about this that was pretty damn popular for a time.

Now granted this was like 50 years ago, now but this is basically all about the Catholic faith.

I forgot about that, that's really damn funny

But they can do anal. Nothing preventing them from that.

Fun fact, anal is only allowed if you finish inside the vagina

Not even allowed to pull out!

Russia, nazi, middle east, etc is common but what about merica?

Politically it feels like the US is one if those dramas that has gone on for too many seasons and the plot is getting more and more absurd because the stakes needs to be raised every time

It's so weird to me that this is happening

If the outermost robot gets damaged or incapacitated somehow, the inner robot could break out, and continue to function.

I hope that I can make "?" mark block rank before it all goes under.

The amount of cares is too damn high!

In my opinion it depends a lot on what you want the experience to be.

If you have a strong nostalgia for those old style ps1 games and want the full experience, play the original, preferably with mods.

If you want a flashy, modernized version that has the same general plot but is greatly expanded upon (for the worse IMO) play the remake version on PC, so you can Mod new outfits or lack of outfits if you wish.

I drive a lot for work, so a lot of my gaming time is on breaks while on the road. I usually play on a handheld PC or a switch, but there are a few PS5 exclusives I want to play. any tips for playing it on the road? I figure some sort of big power station could power the thing, and maybe I could use the remote play feature via my Legion Go in order to play the system once it is on?

98% of the overall plot of Dragons Dogma 2 is absolutely terrible and silly, but there is that 2% that I really like.

I recently beat the game, had fun with the combat though it got super easy towards the end because my character got too overpowered.

This kinda looks like a "Tales of" game

I have some many wonderful memories of gamefaqs, though most are like from 20 years ago

Do you like Roguelikes/Roguelites?

I haven't been a big fan of those. I seem to really enjoy narratively driven games. Witcher 3 and Baldurs Gate 3 have been a couple I have played recently that I've really enjoyed.

Just wrapped up first playthrough of Dragons Dogma 2, and don't really wanna do another playthrough until the DLC comes out.

I want another game to play though. I'd love another RPG (Be it western or JRPG) that I can play on a PC, preferably with a controller since I'm mostly gonna play it on a PC handheld.

Also preferably something that is Single player; playing mostly on the road these days, and though I can wifi hotspot games, it isn't great at multiplayer
