Are you sure it’s not a reference to the tv show Heroes (tm) (R) (CC) (CCP) (CCCP) (littleoldladywho), and thus he has an unhealthy obsession with savior-figures that transcend the physical boundaries set by the unbreakable rules off reality? The game must be Superman 64, known for its trendsetting skyfall imagery and fast gameplay.

Just remember your friend, https://discorch.org/

I love the game (and hate it), but it’s my friend who has the autistic fascination. He got me into the game, and then started quoting all the ships’ descriptions as I was looking around. I have no idea how some people can just memorize every armor layout for every ship. That’s next-level insanity.

Oh god, all the clicker games were like fucking methamphetamine to me. I remember there was this ‘city’ clicker one where you built roads, and I straight up played nothing else for three weeks, every moment I could when I wasn’t working. I’m glad I don’t even look in their direction now, because I know I could get sucked back in.

EXCUSE ME! Spreadsheet simulator clearly DOES NOT fall under the category of ‘worst game’ in any way whatsoever! Now hold on for a second while I log into my 7th account…

My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Yet if adam and eve had just eaten the fruit of immortality, apparently they would have been exactly like god. That’s also in the bible. It’s almost as if there are contradictory parts and it’s full of bunk…

But definitely don’t bring that up with the american ‘christian’ or you’ll have to hear the litany of excuse attempts.

Also, if cancer and other diseases are supposed to exist and kill people for some kind of purpose we don’t understand, why do we have the ability to treat, vaccinate and cure those same diseases

Oh god, now you’ve hit on why some of the sects that we consider cults do what they do. Somehow, wearing clothes, using plows, building structures to provide shelter and warehousing, creating roads that wheeled contraptions (but they don’t have engines!) use, etc., etc., as part of our technological lives isn’t a sin, but using medical advancements is!

the third was the story of the great flood

And don’t forget the really fun part, where you can actually still see the three flood stories smashed into one if you look at the sentences.

At the other end you land in limbo if you haven’t been perfect

Slight correction, but limbo was the ‘first’ area of hell, where you just get bored forever. Purgatory was where you washed off the crusted shit on your soul and could eventually get into heaven.

Only the right half. Arminius was responsible for the left.

I don’t think many Christians would actually argue for that first point tbh.

Then truthfully, I don’t think you’ve had this conversation with many christians. Every single one immediately defaults to that point when confronted with the horrors god would be responsible for if god is in control.

It’s not just whether tap water is potable, it’s also about availability. My job gives us water in bottles because we’re mobile for 12 hours at a time, and nowhere near accessible water pipes. I guess I’m fucked.

They have some basic strategies to use there. My go to method is to create stories. I find studying to be intensely boring, and I will either zone out or just stop when it quickly gets boring. Stories, on the other hand, are exciting and fun. I definitely still have stories from twenty or thirty years ago bouncing around inside my head. Random snippets from reading books is where I get my large trove of trivia.

So for your medical terms, try creating stories that involve real world adjacent plots. Maybe the Kingdom of Aorta had a schism, and split into multiple factions vying for power. The Brachiocephalic lords went first, taking the right half of the kingdom with them, but the northern common carotids couldn’t find agreement with the subclavians on anything, so they went their separate ways. That sort of thing.

Mnemonics are amazing too. I don’t know a single person who didn’t find it easier to remember the cranial nerves after “Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl’s vagina, ah, heaven!” Or the adrenal glands’ “Salt, sugar, sex, the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets” for remembering your “go fuck rats” of the cortex’s layers. Obviously the ‘carnal’ things are easier to remember because they intrigue your mind in a more powerful association. That might just be me… but it does seem like the majority of us who are playing with other people’s bodies have good sex drives.

Great, now I’m on another list, but it’s not a cool one like “Most dangerous average person list.”

It’s more like, "People who cracked up watching a trump analogue wear a bronzed putin-bull’s testicles.’

I call them circle spawners. The enemies spawn in a rough circle around you and close in. I think you can modify that with other terms depending on the specifics of what the game adds in.

I think my favorite couch coop game was Resistance on playstation 3. Some friends had it and we spent an entire week blasting through the game. It had a lot of potential for fun, like when I meleed the enemy in the face, then my friend with a sniper rifle slowed time, aimed between my character’s arms for the recoiling head of the enemy and got the headshot.

The problem with the first (I haven’t played the second), was that it felt like a story game where you play through the story in one go, when it ultimately turned out to be an instance grinding game to get gear to progress.

I went in expecting dark souls with guns, but got the weird love child of world of warcraft and dark souls with a reset button to progress.

I think most of us do know, and that’s one reason why it’s being poo-pooed.

I mean, that’s been the standard since at least ocarina of time. I remember rolling my eyes at the other characters reading your responses back to you.
