I’ll check those out! I find the subject super interesting.

Just in case you didn’t know, there was a big cache of gnostic texts found in Nag Hammadi but the discovery got overshadowed by the dead sea scrolls. They were very cool to look into and shed a lot of light on pre-romanized Christianity.

I wish i had something off the top of my head but I’m mostly basing this off what i remember from uni lectures.

That being said if you look up early Christianity you’ll see that women filled the roles of priests and were often responsible for spreading and maintaining the faith before its roman adoption. You can even even see this in the bible where the earliest chronological chapters are extremely sympathetic to women, then become less and less so as time goes on.

I’ll see if i can find a specific reference for you later today.

Exactly. In keeping with my other comments, that’s why some early christian sects actually viewed Eve as a hero in the story, because she freed them from ignorance… You know, back when christianity was driven by women and wasn’t just roman ideology wearing a Jesus skin mask.

I think thats a pretty solid interpretation. The gnostics have other points too though, like the vast difference in personality between the vengeful old testament god (which they claim is a separate entity) and the loving new testament god.

I wrote an essay about that once. Adam and Eve were meant to chill in the garden for literally all of eternity but were still created as curious, fallible beings with no knowledge of evil. Ergo it was logically impossible that they wouldn’t have eaten the fruit eventually, whether that was in 3 days or 3 million years.

Only kinda related but one of the reasons the early christian gnostics gave for questioning the identity of the old testament god is this exact thing. God is supposed to be omniscient but for some reason is confused about what happened with the apple and doesn’t know where Adam is hiding… Interesting to think about… Maybe. Idk.

Bro same, i was like no what did mr spock do??

So does Nintendo like control Japanese distribution policy or something?

Extremely well said, thank you.

To be honest, I’m not even sure if I am criticizing it, in the same sense that i don’t really have any criticisms of the colour beige…

It made no impression on me, it had no memorable characters or interesting ideas, I can’t even remember the plot despite the fact that im sure i played through the whole thing. The only take away i had was a string of marvel level quips and an extremely thorough understanding that evil corporations are bad…

I was just, disappointed. Thats all. But my impressions are coloured by how much i wanted it to be good after playing falliut 4. Definitely do not let that influence your experience, if you loved it then i believe you 100%

I hope so, but I’m nervous. The Outer Worlds also seemed really promising at first but turned out to be so disappointingly bland. Fingers crossed though

Well i didn’t really want to but just for you, Skaffi, I looked it up on YouTube and copied the link

My guy that already happens. Didn’t you see the hbomberguy video?

I used to have a friend who was born with his left hand disabled and could only really play videogames on easy unless they had heavy accessibility options. Whenever i see these weird “dark souls needs to be hard” people i cant help but think about him and how he’s barred from playing these deep, visually impressive games because the community starts sending death threats at the mere mention of an easy mode.

Haha thats actually a solid idea. I’d drink astronaut water in a heartbeat.

I think your right the honesty is refreshing but when it comes to marketing i think reclaimed water is just about the last place you want that kind of honesty

Listen imma level with you bro, if they are genuinely calling it “toilet to tap”, and you dont get why people might find that a little off-putting, then i dont think this thread has anything for you.

Oh i love Doug, alright nice dual reference dude 👍

Oh, ok. Whats the other reference too?
