@TheBabylonBee I'm reminded of some sports game (I believe it was a football game and not a soccer game) on the N64 that had a cheatcode that unlocked 'landmine mode'. If a player stepped on a mine they'd stay down for... quite a while.

This is the one thing I really did not like about the 3DS remake. Being able to see Ganon so clearly sucked a lot of the soul out of the final boss fight.

As much as I loved the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time I hope the lighting of the final battle in the new version on Switch 2 is closer to the N64 version. The darker lighting was so much more atmospheric and perfect and much more thematically fitting

Universe 6 arc is enjoyable but I wouldn't call it peak.
Outside of that, image checks out.

[Gaming NextDoor @GamingNextDoor]

This is accurate?

@reddit_lies For those not aware, the bear is known as 'pedobear'.

Oh, huh, a younger sister? Let's hope there's nothing creepy going on there.

Please take a moment to pray for both the grandfather, as well as comfort for the family.

[Serena @boaz_5309]

I lost my granddaughter yesterday. She passed away due to preeclampsia. Her mom had an emergency C-section and could really use your prayers, please. My son and our family are mourning such a deep loss. I know Paisley is in heaven with our Lord and Savior. That's my only peace.

While I'm loving the new Pal designs, I feel they're overdoing the 'monster girl' approach with the new 1.0 Pals.

Palworld 1.0 is out on July 10th!

@ShitpostRock2 Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 are two examples of games with male protagonists who do not hold back in the brutality of the death scenes.

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

Miis have a distinct visual design that brings to mind old wooden toys.
Sportsmates look like an attempt to copy Xbox Avatars.

[✨Stellifera ᔦꙬᔨ ✨ @StelliferaCnida]

I genuinely don't get the hate on Sportsmates. Imo, they're CLEARLY better than Miis. They're more expressive, more stylish, have more enhanced personalization options ...

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

I've been so burned my remakes tarnishing what made the original game good that the words 'updated designs' set off warning sirens in my head.

[Nintendo Everything @NinEverything]

Nintendo says Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake has “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay” https://t.co/AktHtIpnFx

@ShitpostRock2 I’d argue 6. Specifically ORAS.
I appreciate Sun/Moon was trying to do some new things (Trials instead of Gyms) but it was the first Pokemon game that I felt was ‘just another’.

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

So, fun little story.
In my mid-teens, I was speaking to an online friend, we talked about faith and I ended up converted him to Christ.
What started off the conversation? Will there by video games in Heaven? Was still at that age of thinking of Heaven as a toy land, hah.

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

@reddit_lies Only one solution.

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

Your front gate guard let me in because he thought I was harmless. The waterway is big enough for a person to crawl through. The patrol routes have more holes than swiss cheese. Seriously, fire whoever’s in charge of your security.

🚨🔥Friendly reminder: being old does not make something biblical.

Prayer beads are older than a lot of things. So are idols, pagan temples, vain repetitions, priestcraft, necromancy, and praying to the dead. “Older” is not the test. Scripture is the test.

The same basic pattern of counted, repetitive, bead-based devotion shows up across pagan and non-Christian religions: Hindu malas, Buddhist malas, Islamic prayer beads, Pagan goddess and ancestor beads, and then Rome’s Rosary. That should at least make a Bible believer stop and ask, “Did Jesus command this, or did religion borrow this?”

The Bible never commands Christians to pray the Rosary. Jesus never used one. The apostles never taught one. Paul never told the Church to repeat “Hail Mary” dozens of times. Peter never handed out beads at Pentecost. John never wrote, “Blessed is he that counteth the decades.”

The Rosary is not proof of apostolic Christianity. It is proof that Rome took a form of repetitive religious devotion used all over pagan religion and wrapped it in Mary devotion. The problem is not merely the beads. The problem is the system: repeated prayers, Marian intercession, praying to the dead, and trusting a religious mechanism instead of coming directly to God through Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, “when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do” (Matthew 6:7). The Bible says, “there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). Hebrews says we come “boldly unto the throne of grace,” not through Mary, saints, chaplets, scapulars, or bead-counting.

So yes, the Rosary may be older than Protestant denominations.

But the word of God is older than the Rosary.

The gospel is older than the Rosary.

Direct access to God through Jesus Christ is older than the Rosary.

And I’ll take the Book over the beads every time.

@ShitpostRock2 The shot isn't bad, but it's a symptom of JJ's 'what we had before but bigger' mindset.

[Scuttlest @Scuttlest48]

Add in Christ saying to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin.

Which isn't a literal statement. But remove from your life the things that lead you to sin.

[Talk Church @churchtalkative]

Masturbation is a SIN.
It feeds lust, robs you of self-control, and distances you from purity. The Bible calls us to flee sexual immorality and honor God with our bodies (1 Cor 6:18–20).

You can overcome it through prayer, discipline, and renewing your mind (Romans 12:2).
