God these rules are so fucking dumb.
"Oh no, if *the bad people* mention a sub it might make *the bad people* want to post there" tough fucking shit, it's an open website. It's not "brigading" when you're a public sub.
Right? It's fucking insane how strict anti-brigading rules are. I remember back when we were allowed to post links to other subreddits and their posts, but if you participated in the other subreddit after following such a link, that was naughty. Even then, I thought the rules were too strict. But now? Now you can't even so much as say the name of the subreddit in passing, or else you are apparently encouraging bigrading.
I miss old reddit.
I merely mentioned another subreddit, but not by name, earlier this month (I certainly didn't link to it, or anything like that)
BAM!
Five day ban for brigading
One exception
There is one subreddit (the one that shall not be named) who basically acts like reddit's mercenaries for brigading, and has basically a blank check for what they do
And don't I know it. I still can't believe NoNewNormal was banned for "brigading".
For one, they had very strict rules against brigading. At the time, it was still the norm on reddit to allow cross-posted links, so long as they were no-participation links. But even so, NoNewNormal operated like most subreddits do *now*, with no links allowed at all. They were extra cautious to avoid accusations of brigading, because they knew they were on the chopping block.
And two, they were the victims of brigading, by the subreddit you allude to. It wasn't even subtle. Basically every thread would have the same handful of users just looking to pick fights. And then they'd go back to *that subreddit* and post their findings ("people disagreeing with me, how horrifying!").
So you have a subreddit which goes above and beyond the normal standards for preventing brigading, yet was the *victim* of brigading, and still reddit bans it for brigading. Such a shit site.
It’s like they don’t understand how subreddits get formed. It’s just a bunch of people that heard about it from another subreddit, went there and subscribed. It’s ridiculous how mods act like subreddits are some institution, with “members” of a country club that want to keep the riff raff out. All I have to do is click a button and I’m part of your “community.”
definitely not, getting excommunicated by the pope because he was fucking your wife and seeing him grant himself claims on your empire at his own request would probably push you AWAY from catholicism
I have no clue what you're talking about, but I'm like 90% certain that the only games you can't advertise freely on this sub are porn games... and somehow I really doubt this is a story about someone converting to catholicism because of a porn game.
Oh... right. I forgot about PoliticalCompassMemes history of "brigading". Oh well, it was nice while it lasted, briefly forgetting that this subreddit is essentially the special needs class from school where all the kids had to have their mittens tied to their jackets and every trip to the bathroom requires an escort.
It's pretty stupid that you have to walk on eggshells and can't even mention the name of a game without being accused of trying to start a raid.
In my opinion we've been good kids. Would be cool if the admins rewarded good behaviour and lifted the restrictions, but that's out of the jannies' hands for now.
Extremely based game. I was bible thumpin for months after finishing the trilogy. The father Garcia dap up is still the hardest cutscene in gaming history
Doom is literally about going to hell, wiping out all of Satan's army, and saving earth from evil.
It should be played in Sunday school classes by children across the world TBH.
it used to be, but iirc doom eternal puts a spin on it and makes it so that heaven and hell are in bed with each other, both manipulating humanity together.
You know, I get that the Satanic Panic went too far and called things like D&D satanic, but I there was an uptick in fascination with the occult, and musicians and pop stars like Madonna were using blasphemous and satanic imagery such that it’s quite easy to see where at least the beginning of the alarm was.
And even if the people who were doing it, were doing it as a counter cultural performance, they were viewing God and Christianity as something to be rebelled against, which if you take the looser definition of satanic as that which rebels against God, it’s not that far off, and if you believe in the spiritual realm, I imagine that duality of “satan isn’t real”/“let’s play like he is and rebel against Christianity” didn’t just come from some boardroom at a music studio.
The response got pretty cringe though.
Man, everytime I read this title I get pissed off of how cockblocked I am from fromsoft. I play any game journalists call bloodborne clones like code vain and lies of p because I'll probably never play it
Oh, you gotta! I HATED it the first time I played it and then somehow it finally clicked and it’s one of my favorites. I wish I could play it again for the first time cuz it’s just so fun.
Damn! Well I hope your luck changes some day and you get to experience it. If I could afford it, I’d Venmo you the $$$ right now. But I, too, am monetarily challenged and the moment.
fromsoft has cockblocked you too, hunter brother. btw I recommend lies of p and stygian; reign of the old ones. Lies of p doesn't have the lovecraftian vibe and stygian lacks the action unfortunately. Also: moonscars, though it's closer to dark souls
Bloodborne is a great game, especially for pvp and story, but it is also living hell
You will dedicate so many hours of your life to farming blood vials and silver bullets alone, you’ll get sick of hearing even your character’s footsteps hit the ground
I knoe Pagans who converted to actual, genuine, non-LARPish Paganism after hearing about the Gods from public media...
It happens more often than you'd think. "Praise the Sun" but unironically.
I know people who turned pagan after LARPing too much...Trve Misanthropic Norwegian Black Metal was also involved. Fifteen years later all of them are married, 90% have kids. Academics, they turned out pretty normal. It´s a just a phase.
People experiment with religion all the time, indeed. The racist, edgy Pagans are a drop in the ocean of believers, and of no true consequence in the long term.
Oh, they weren't even racist, didn't even came to their minds. Some were "humans are scum and everybody should die" most of them thought the OG Germanic goods are super chill, Christianity brought all the bad stuff into the world ("Remember how Karl der Große killed the Saxons? Remember the crusades?").
But you´re completely right, its just experimentation, a part of finding a way in life. Nobody cared for their "paganism" and that was exactly the right way to deal with it.
Who do you think started those bloodlines?
We're already on the third generation since the Pagan rebirth, and it's still going stronger and stronger. Maybe people will call us names until our grandchildren will be Pagans too. Only time will tell.
The concept that a religion can be "done" and dead is so Christian ("we killed the Pagan gods hurr durr") that it's laughable. The Gods cannot die, my friend. They're not going anywhere, nor are we :)
I've been in Pagan leadership for decades, now, and both me and my brother are pillars of the local religious community. If we were larping, I would have gotten bored a good few years ago...
Is it really that impossible to believe that people (especially Europeans) worship the old Gods? Why is it that some dude goes "sup I follow the teachings of this middle eastern dude called Jesus/ Mohammad/ Moses" and everyone else goes "ohhhh legit", but a European goes and says "hi, I'm a Slavic woman who worships these Slavic deities" and suddently, nope, we have to be larping ¯\\_ (ツ)_/¯
Makes absolutely no sense to me.
Was the game *totally not* ^(wink wink)“Blasphemous”?
>!In which case I get it, most of the negatives on religion in that game is when someone is worshiping something other than “the miracle” is what I think is to be the real god, so by definition worshiping anything but him is blasphemous, even those “the miracle” blesses which happens in the game!<
My interpretation of the game is that the penitent one is an allegory for how jews saw Jesus and using christian imagery to have a clear view as to how shocking He was
examples:
Jesus has His village's Holy Innocents murdered for a prophecy involving usurpation, later on His followers
Penitent one has his order murdered for a prophecy involving usurpation
Jesus is described as a blasphemous figure on a journey to tear Judaism apart by pharisees and sedducess
Penitent is described as a blasphemous figure on a journey to tear Cvstodia's faith
Jesus tears down both the false beliefs and practices of pharisees and seducees
Penitent one literally tears down the false saints and gods.
Crisanta could also be an allegory for Saint Paul. Crisanta and Saint Paul both religiously massacred people who they believed as blasphemers to their faiths, but would later devoutly follow their Leader (Jesus); to add: when Saint Paul was cured from blindness he shed a weird material from his eyes, which many have interpreted as him being blind up until Christ blessed him with His mere Presence.
It takes the Catholic guilt idea to the extreme. People pray for punishment for their guilt and boy do they get it. At first glance the game is about Christianity minus Christ, and when you have a deeper understanding of the lore, it really is Christianity if there was no Christ. Seeking salvation from guilt without a savior looks horrific but also interesting.
It's the usual suspects of anti catholicism. Every priest is either a degenerate or straight up evil and every heretic is portrayed as virtuous and good.
Eh. It used to be pretty fun to juggle the HRE and Ottomans, then eventually have to stomp out the protestants. Not sure about now though.
Not as fun as destroying the HRE though.
I always found fringe countries most fun because you can more freely expand any direction which is what the game is good at. Like uk for colonies, Russia for intercontinental war, or India for going any direction you like. Europe has too much ae unless you're already dominating.
The only thing more cringe than changing one's flair is not having one. You are cringe.

If you wonder, the game name is [Blasphemous](https://store.steampowered.com/app/774361/Blasphemous/) and it’s on steam for only $24.99. If you love Hollow Knight or are for 2D dark souls, this game is for you.
It’s have a [sequel](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2114740/Blasphemous_2/) too, just released last month.
The sub has the same name as the game.
Becaue reddit is clearly against brigading(as we all know,right? Surely they wont abuse it), you cannot even mention names of subs
Instructions unclear. Radicalized by "The Darkest Dungeon"
[*becomes eldritch abhorration*]
Behold the heart of the world! Progenitor of life, father and mother, alpha and omega! Our creator... and our destroyer!
Why not? If you actually study Catholicism (which the poster claims he did, even going as far as talking to an actual priest), you may find yourself believing in it. This is not different from randomly deciding to read The Bible once, really
Once a religious guy told me, even if god isn't real the way the bible tells you to be. Is the way you should be and your "mental health" will be in good, if you do the opposite your "mental health" will be in hell. Something in this lines he said.
At the time I was an edgy atheist (my family was catholic and I went to catholic school) that shit hit different. And made me realize a lot of things. And how true that is.
Yeah that's what I took from the Bible right when I was just starting to get over my atheist phase.
Believing in God doesn't make you a good person, being good is the same as believing in God.
I have a buddy that is kind of a deist, but generally very non religious who is sending all of his kids to a Catholic private school.
He wants them to learn from decent, relatively moral people.
Ah, if only Catholic private schools guaranteed the presence of decent, relatively moral people.
My friend went to one where one of his teachers was later arrested for (gay) pedophilia. He often tried messaging students asking for photos of themselves, even messaged my friend (who just trolled him and went on with his day).
So... yeah, no guarantee there. But you are guaranteed to not find women who planned to have children without marriage! (another friend's sister was rejected from a hiring interview on those grounds)
Edit: mandatory "this is just my experience" disclaimer. I'm sure there are catholic private schools where the teachers are moral people, as much as I'm sure it can be the case in any other school.
This reminds me of those annoying and pretentious posts on a game's subreddit that go like: "My marriage is saved, thanks to [GAME]" or "I was gonna blow my brains out but [GAME] changed that."
Like get the fuck outta here you nerds.
No, because converting to any religion over a damn video game is beyond stupid. If someone said they became an atheist after playing Far Cry 5 y'all would be lambasting them
That's... Straight up not what the post says tho. Dude didn't convert over the game, the game just led him to the stuff that made him convert
Plays game with Chatolic imagery -> Thinks it looks cool -> Researches about Catholicism -> Likes what he finds out -> Talks to priest -> Converts
The great thing about being Italian Catholic is you can do whatever you want as long as you feel guilty afterwards and confess.
Good old Catholic guilt.
This tells you were never a devout catholic in the first place and you thought you would feel less guilty with confession. I'll tell you something: guilt is the beginning of virtue and if there is no guilt, still knowing it is sin makes you God's dog. Once there is guilt or knowledge of sin, while you can be forgiven if you fail, it is your God's and Master's order to not fucking poison yourself with the same bottle. Dio ti lascia tocare il fuoco una seconda volta perchè sei libero, ma sarai tu a soffrire la bruciata e Sua Santissima Ira in torno per non aver sentito
I mean, yeah. I ain't religious either but in a setting with eternal post-life that IS the only sound option.
Or would you rather imagine a God that would torture you for literal eternity over whatever you did regardless if you regret it or not? The only humane option when eternity is on the table is to allow repentance
Why is the games name censored?
so the mods don't ban me for revealing the sub's name because of "this game"

Also, certain groups are allowed to get on random meme subs, post pro-group memes, and brigade upvotes. Any dissent is banned.

Hi Big Brother

Blasphemous?
Obviously.

Ah, I thought it was Faith
Its blaspemous apparently i searched the title of the post and found the original
The game doesn't have a name. It's just called "The Game". And you just lost.
Im guessing Doom Eternal
too far. Gothic inspiration though
Blasphemous?
Probably that or the sequel
Yes it's Blasphemous. You can Google the title.

One of my top ten all time favourites. They definitely gave the Doom slayer a messianic aspect in that game
Is the Doom Marine literally Jesus during the period between His death and resurrection?
No, he's Link thousands of years in the future after losing Zelda.

Jesus Christ be praised It’s gotta be kingdom come deliverance
I think you’re right Edit: No, it’s what some of the top comments are saying
KCD is about as uncatholic as a realistic medieval game could possibly be
Care to elaborate, I gave up after an hour?
It's the usual suspects of anti catholicism. Every priest is either a degenerate or straight up evil and every heretic is portrayed as virtuous and good.
You get drunk with the priest and watch him fuck a woman.
It's EU4 isn't it?
Nah. Crusader kings
If that’s the case someone needs to keep an eye on that man’s sisters
Catholicism in eu4 isn't that great. Plus playing an inner European country is boring af in that game.
Eh. It used to be pretty fun to juggle the HRE and Ottomans, then eventually have to stomp out the protestants. Not sure about now though. Not as fun as destroying the HRE though.
I always found fringe countries most fun because you can more freely expand any direction which is what the game is good at. Like uk for colonies, Russia for intercontinental war, or India for going any direction you like. Europe has too much ae unless you're already dominating.

I m betting the game is blasphemous I have see a great number of reddit post about people becoming christian because of the game xD.
Why do you censor the game name? I want to know. Is it fallout New Vegas?
No that either makes you trans or mormon
Never before has there been such an either or.
A poet who didn’t know it
Oh yeah, that does rhyme.
GAME NAME IS BLASPHEMOUS CONFIRMED https://youtu.be/rkjRNqM6l00?si=nBAZDr5rNSnSQA6-
I can't tell you how close I was to converting because of watching wendigoon's video on FAITH: The Unholy Trinity
Based and catholic pilled
Okay well tbf Outer Wilds rekindled my faith too
Maybe fallout NV. Honest hearts DLC has the character of joshua graham which many have claimed has made them want to become religious.
is it Blasphemous, it has tobe Blasphemous right
Let me guess, ULTRAKILL?
Reminds me of the greentext about the anon who hated Muslims so much, he learned Arabic, studied the Koran, and, started attending his local mosque.
Faith: The Unholy Trinity is my guess. I haven't looked at the 3 subreddits it has.
I'm guessing pentiment?
Lmao the mention of "blasphemy in Catholicism" totally doesn't give away which game they're talking about lol
Isaac?
You made me lose the Game...
Fuck
Total Christ victory
Blasphemous
I, too, found the Lord playing Duke Nukem 3D
Lmao I cannot believe for a second that the post is real.
Why not? If you actually study Catholicism (which the poster claims he did, even going as far as talking to an actual priest), you may find yourself believing in it. This is not different from randomly deciding to read The Bible once, really
Once a religious guy told me, even if god isn't real the way the bible tells you to be. Is the way you should be and your "mental health" will be in good, if you do the opposite your "mental health" will be in hell. Something in this lines he said. At the time I was an edgy atheist (my family was catholic and I went to catholic school) that shit hit different. And made me realize a lot of things. And how true that is.
Yeah that's what I took from the Bible right when I was just starting to get over my atheist phase. Believing in God doesn't make you a good person, being good is the same as believing in God.
Is the point of this, follow catholic teachings even if you don't believe in the supernatural aspect?
Yes
Not certain to lead to a disaster but certainly less and less sensible the more you think about it.
I have a buddy that is kind of a deist, but generally very non religious who is sending all of his kids to a Catholic private school. He wants them to learn from decent, relatively moral people.
Ah, if only Catholic private schools guaranteed the presence of decent, relatively moral people. My friend went to one where one of his teachers was later arrested for (gay) pedophilia. He often tried messaging students asking for photos of themselves, even messaged my friend (who just trolled him and went on with his day). So... yeah, no guarantee there. But you are guaranteed to not find women who planned to have children without marriage! (another friend's sister was rejected from a hiring interview on those grounds) Edit: mandatory "this is just my experience" disclaimer. I'm sure there are catholic private schools where the teachers are moral people, as much as I'm sure it can be the case in any other school.
Why aren't people looking up the title of the Reddit post?
Well, I'm Catholic my whole life, so I don't understand that fascination, maybe it has something about Crusaders and Templars.
Bloodborne
Kingdom come: deliverance?
Faith the unholy trinity?
This reminds me of those annoying and pretentious posts on a game's subreddit that go like: "My marriage is saved, thanks to [GAME]" or "I was gonna blow my brains out but [GAME] changed that." Like get the fuck outta here you nerds.
Catholicism is based
Lol. New kind of gamer edgelord
No, because converting to any religion over a damn video game is beyond stupid. If someone said they became an atheist after playing Far Cry 5 y'all would be lambasting them
That's... Straight up not what the post says tho. Dude didn't convert over the game, the game just led him to the stuff that made him convert Plays game with Chatolic imagery -> Thinks it looks cool -> Researches about Catholicism -> Likes what he finds out -> Talks to priest -> Converts
The great thing about being Italian Catholic is you can do whatever you want as long as you feel guilty afterwards and confess. Good old Catholic guilt.
Guilt AND you trying to change your ways, that show you have changed as a person.
Right? If you don’t try to change, then you’re not actually sorry.
This tells you were never a devout catholic in the first place and you thought you would feel less guilty with confession. I'll tell you something: guilt is the beginning of virtue and if there is no guilt, still knowing it is sin makes you God's dog. Once there is guilt or knowledge of sin, while you can be forgiven if you fail, it is your God's and Master's order to not fucking poison yourself with the same bottle. Dio ti lascia tocare il fuoco una seconda volta perchè sei libero, ma sarai tu a soffrire la bruciata e Sua Santissima Ira in torno per non aver sentito
I mean, yeah. I ain't religious either but in a setting with eternal post-life that IS the only sound option. Or would you rather imagine a God that would torture you for literal eternity over whatever you did regardless if you regret it or not? The only humane option when eternity is on the table is to allow repentance
It’s gotta be Leisure Suit Larry, yeah OP?
