@jussi Oh boy, Card battle games or roguelikes come to mind. I've got a bunch lined up in my wishlist and hope the prices drops down enough for me to bother. :D

@mur2501 When my dad still had his little pond in the garden, we always had a nice amount of tadpoles every year. It was just so fun to see them evolve in those little hoppers that we had to rescue from the oncoming lawnmower every time. :D

@atrus 👍 Enjoy!

@MicroSFF What's this godhunter doing with all those captured deities then?

@mur2501 When I think an animal is being hurt, it usually isn't that funny to me at all. Then my heart hurts.

@mur2501 Funny image. But India itself also has its fair share of funny military images. Probably didn't get rid of the weird British habits when India became a sovereign country. ;)

@mur2501 Nah, German and Dutch share the same Germanic ancestor. English is a bastard child of a Germanic and Romance (French in this case) language.

@angelobottone That article seems to go out of its way to state that abortions are by default always evil.

What if people do not agree with that sentiment? What if it is not intrinsically evil?

Then what would be left of the point the article is trying to make?

@bonifartius W00t w00t! May our days be longer from now on!

@mur2501 Officially we seem to learn British English at school. But American English has a lot of influence via TV and internet. I use a mix. I refuse to type 'centre' and 'litre', but I'll happily go for 'neighbour' and use a few British phrases. :P

For the rest about everybody here speaks Dutch, though. 🤪

@metapsyche Revenge of the Covid. Now to wait for the long-awaited sequel: Return of the cure.

@caelyn In other words, you couldn't really argue the same about Warhammer, precisely because of the extra randomness. ;)

@witchfynder_finder

@witchfynder_finder I think chess is more of a Grand Memory Game. The more moves you can memorize beforehand, the bigger your chances of winning.

@westofer@mstdn.social Not really a big problem. You can sign up elsewhere, and then tell your instance in the configs that you've moved. People will get automatically directed to the new instance. I believe that includes your followers/following list, don't pin me on it though.

Note: I've not been able to test it out myself. My previous instance suddenly died without warning so I couldn't use the move feature. :P

@mur2501

@mur2501 Mm, I would say that Enlightenment for christianity got sped up considerably during the time that the printing press got invented. Then around that time, people decided to translate the bible into the local language, so people understood it more. And because of the printing press, it could be mass-produced and spread even more easily.

Originally the church didn't want it to be translated either. They let priests interpret it to the masses. But thankfully they couldn't stop progress, the printing press was there to stay. The church started to lose its iron grip, and it started to become 'bye bye Dark Ages!'

It's best to be able to teach the people to educate themselves instead of discouraging it.

@freemo

@mur2501 Very religious people in that area. That is our 'bible-belt'. ;)

Videocalled with a buddy for almost 6 hours using sign language. Talked about every topic imaginable. Ended up cutting off the conversation after 3:00 in the night because, well.. it's fucking late.

Excuse me while I'm going to be a zombie for the rest of the day.

@dankmaximus @mur2501 @simongerman600 @stux

That is totally 100% true, I agree. *Makes choking sounds* *Can swim* 😂

@mur2501 😂

@mur2501 Good point. Things definitely started to change around then. Christianity went from the 'Dark Ages' to the 'Age of Enlightenment'. Islam had that about 1000 years ago, they truly had a golden age going on. Mathematics, medicine, etc, that was at the pinnacle back then. Even the Christian world looked up to them.

I don't know what happened that it changed. Maybe governments changed and became more strict.

And we all know what happens to very strict societies... They won't be able to be creative and develop.That counts for ALL religions, not just Islam. That counts for ALL societies, regardless whether they're religious or not.

Repressive rule is never a good idea.
