obsolete account, please follow @kara
OK, finished for now (and probably won't resume until tomorrow, if at all, because of other calls on my time.) So finally "Mother 3" supplied me with some emotions, in the form of Leder's story. It was good, but was it as much of an emotional payoff as the Magicant chapter of "EarthBound"?...eh...
really like this take on sporting as a parcipatory, self-improvement activity for the masses Afficher plus
@spiderrobotpig @Sylvhem all the top Twitter people sound so fucking immature, like it's taking every ounce of their limited supply of patience to deal with all the people whining about Nazis &c., who just don't understand how HARD it is

@shadowfirebird that's the "mystery girl" all right! been starting to look for fan art of Pearl and her. Looks like there's a whole fan club on DA *giggles a bit*
resuming "Mother 3" https://go.twitch.tv/kara_dreamer
@Juby that song has become bittersweet indeed for me
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
Like you

@ajroach42 "receptive" meaning you're just supposed to consume it passively, I guess
On the way home, I followed out the arguments that the pastor had made to their logical extremes.
Out loud, to everyone.
I deconstructed the entire sermon down in to, essentially, "when bad things happen, it's god punishing you. Therefore, Obama is god punishing us."
The people in the car told me to shut up, and that I clearly wasn't "receptive" to the "word of god"
@woozle It's about the early history of American colonization - specifically, the big four waves of British immigration, the Puritans, Cavaliers, Quakers, and Borderers, who together went on to define much of American culture going forward. It's a fascinating read.
@ajroach42 well, chronology wouldn't really mean much here, to a timeless god. like, if (say) Baldur is an "echo" of Jesus, that echo could occur anywhere in time, backwards or forwards. Stokes and anti-Stokes *chuckles* (sorry, little chemistry humor there)
@gcupc @ajroach42 what infomercial nonsense is this
@ajroach42 I was never, ever able to come at all close to convincing myself, as it seems Tolkien convinced Lewis, that the reason Lewis felt a strong emotional pull towards pagan stories of gods dying and reborn is because they were mere echoes of the TRUE god dying and reborn. The Jesus story just seems far too limited and uninspiring for that. if that's the _real_ story then why does it do nothing for me
(oh, and there was the Shinkenger crossover stuff too, but I don't remember too much about that)
and then there's the best theme to a Kamen Rider series I've never actually watched, "Journey through the Decade" by GACKT, for "Kamen Rider Dee-cade".
I suppose I should watch this one at some point. My sole exposure has been through the crossover stuff with "W", and just those little bits made me decide that Kadoya Tsukasa was a titanic asshole and I'd probably spend all of "Decade" wanting to punch him in the face
@ajroach42 same! I think I have reached peace with my admiration of him, though. We hit some of the same milestones that he described in "Surprised by Joy", but I decided that they led me down a different path, away from a religion in which I never could find much spiritual nourishment.
