They're gonna split OoT remake into three parts. The first one will only cover Young Link and will last 50 hours with Ganondorf as the final boss for some reason. The second will come out in 2031 for Switch 3. And the last will be 60 hours of nothing but the Water Temple in 2035.
Are Mormons of influence hoping to increase conversions and social acceptance by asking other Christians to upend 1900 years of tradition to redefine “Christian?” Or is it really just about the feels?
It does seem that the LDS are being unfairly singled out here. If the essential criterion for Christianity is Trinitarian theology, why do the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Oneness Pentecostals, and even Quakers (in some instances) get a pass here?
The Mormon controversy is sad.
I love and admire LDS folks. Some of my most fruitful and intimate spiritual conversations have been with Mormons. I’m willing to go further than most Christians and say that I think the Holy Spirit seems to be at work in Mormons by means deeper than common grace.
But I thought Mormons were brought up to understand that they are different from mainstream Christianity and generally regarded as heretical or occult. It pains me to see so many of them hurt by their apparent surprise at this.
@BoeufEtLiberte@YouSpooneeBard I follow your frustration here but humbly suggest that the first version more honestly reflects the lived experience orthodox Christians. Genuine relationship first, followed by spiritual concern.
@CHS_Seminary I hear you. Our relationship need not be hostile. But to your analogy, we are watching different games, and we don’t agree on the identity of the MVPs.
“sometimes—not always, but sometimes—[some of today’s Mormon leaders] even sound as though they’re moving in the direction of some of the key convictions that are for me rooted in my Calvinism.”
-Richard Mouw. There are few living with whom I feel more confident in aligning on matters of spiritual discernment.
Dr. Mouw’s book remains the seminal work on the subject. https://t.co/nea5PV36kI
@JoshuaHerr6 Bro, tread carefully now; you’re approaching blasphemy of the Holy Spirit by claiming that He’s at work in people who dishonor both God the Father & God the Son by denying their nature and character as revealed in the Scripture of the apostles & prophets.
What’s so fitting about the triumph of Backrooms over Mandalorian is that Kane Parsons and Will Soodnik have turned this online legend into a parable about the ugliness of remake culture. It’s funny that the Backrooms trend predates the AI boom, because in many ways it embodies some of the uncanny horror that AI slop can stir in us. But in other ways Backrooms is about deeper trends of which slop is just one symptom. Others include therapy culture, the remake glut, and our obsession with nostalgia. Now a new generation of content creators, who never lived through the periods we all yearn for, are exposing our nostalgia as the Baudrillardian grotesquery it is. So I argue for @TheFP today:
E.M. Forster proposed the following difference between a story and a plot:
A story goes, “The king died, and then the queen died.”
A plot goes, “The king died, and then the queen died of grief.”
Can a video game have either—a story or a plot? Can it be art without either? @andrewklavan and I discuss with reference to the biggest game of last year, Expedition 33, in today’s Klavans on the Culture.

Some personal news:
The Daily Wire laid off my husband, which sucks, but now it doesn’t have a litigator to enforce my NDA. You win some, you lose some.
Also, he’s definitely looking. Very talented in-house counsel, won against Arctic Frost. Years of experience. DM me, please!
