  • That’s not Satan, that’s the snake. Satan’s just an asshole who does God’s bidding testing and tempting people like he did with Job. And it’s not the same as the nake or lucifer.
    The ‘snake’ was the one who told Eve that God was lying to them, and that they would not die if they ate the forbidden fruit. This one is the cool guy who’s the equivalent of Prometheus.
    Lucifer isn’t even in the bible at all. It’s a Roman mythical explanation for Venus because it was something bright that appeared sometimes in the sky, and it somehow got conflated with the bad versions of the “morning star” mentioned in the bible later. Funny enough, Jesus is also referred as “morning star” too. Also the King of Babylon, I think. “Morning star” may be just a saying to describe a characteristic, not a character, like “you are a rising star”.





  • Yeah. All GW1 pretty much needs at this point is just the Beyond chapter of Elona and 2 professions unique to Prophecies, one heavy armor, one medium armor. And having Prophecies and Factions weapon drops updated to the new system used in Nightfall and EotN, with inscriptions and more upgrades, and making the upgrades have fixed stats like armor upgrades, so they can get their own trader NPC.
    And then rig the trader NPCs to always have supllies at a premium cost so GW1’s economy does not depend on bots to stay supplied.

    There’s no way we’ll ever see new professions , and I doubt they’ll ever update the weapon drops. But they have already done some new quests. So there’s still a bit of hope for “Rise of Joko”.









  • That idiot CEO is doing idiot CEO things.

    Everyone knows that if he keeps bowing down to Musk’s pressure and enshitificating the platform, people will leave for greener pastures as soon as there’s an enticing alternative like they did with X.

    CEOs surround themselves with the most conceited and naive of all echo chambers.
    They live in an imaginary world in which their backward opinions work better than what has been proven to work time and time again by every research ever done on any subject. They will one day wake up to a blue sky, claim it’s actually pink with green polka dots, and blame “the woke agenda” or some such nonsense when they are obviously proven wrong.

    The closest analogy I’ve ever heard for what modern CEOs have become is “Like a bunch of Naked Emperors jerking each other off while shitting all over everyone below them”. As accurate as disgusting.



  • There is currently no standard irony or sarcasm punctuation.

    Until there is one, you can use some other symbol for irony punctuation. Like ⸮, ‽, ¡ or ¿.

    You can also use the rolleyes emote 🙄, strategic italics, and even rAndOMcASe capitalization.

    Just don’t use the SarcMark™. A trademarked punctuation mark you have to pay to use is one of the most bullshit forms of capitalist bullshit one can imagine. Fuck that shit with a white-hot iron rebar.

    Oh, before I forget, there’s also the snarkmark ( .~ ). Works like the SarcMark™, but you don’t have to tell the world you are an idiot for paying to use a punctuation mark.
