Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Hah, that's funny. I was watching some Monty Python a couple hours ago, and one of the funnier sketches was "The Greatest Thing Ever." Basically the setting was in medieval England, and there were all these people yelling "Hey, did you see that thing? It's the greatest thing ever!" for 10 minutes. Of course it was funny because a head would pop in below a latrine and tell whoever was taking a dump on it about the greatest thing ever, and other humorous situations would happen. It was funny, because in the end, the greatest thing ever was actually just this.

[–]LastEmperor 130 points131 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, people tend to forget that the founder of the Big Bang Theory and the father of modern genetics were both Catholic priests, and so evolution and the Big Bang Theory are pretty much accepted by the Catholic Church.

Edit: And the Pontifical Academy of Sciences located inside the Vatican has a ton of Nobel Prize Winners as its members. The popular misconception that the Vatican is against scientific progress is pretty wrong since the last 200 years.

And he repudiated the use of condoms, and enforced the traditional dogma against homosexuals.

It's not that Christians or any other religious group is inherently bad, it's because religion in and of itself takes its mandate from fiction, and as such is often so out-dated that it cannot keep up with the world's technological and societal development.

Teenagers and people who don't know any better might spew that anti-Christian rhetoric, but the rest of us, the scientists and thinkers, take issue with religion's role in public policy, not with what it represents for individuals in terms of narratives of personal meaning.

Not sure why you can't use snakes, then. Fundie Christians dance with snakes, and you know how they feel about dancing. Also, no breeding until level 22? Where the hell did they get that number from? As long as they're married, the fundies are okay with them breeding at almost any age.

[–]epicwinguy101 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Though maybe society would be better if they were. Imagine if you had to take a basic history and government test every 8 years to maintain voting rights. Of course that's racist so you can't do that anymore. A person who doesn't know what inflation is has the same vote as a professor of economics. Good old democratic (republican) systems!

[–]rakimallah 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because of course a professor of economics is a more valuable person than someone who doesn't know what inflation is. In fact, let's create a whole system in which we give more votes and rights to an elite group and take them away from the less educated! A bachelor's degree will be worth one vote, a master's is two, and Ph.D.'s get three! Oh, and if you didn't graduate high school, we're revoking your citizenship.

Yeah, that's totally reasonable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

We make people who want to immigrate take a very simple test over basic knowledge before full citizenship is granted. I don't see why asking the same from people lucky enough to be born over a specific piece of dirt is a problem.

[–]rakimallah 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not a straw man. You suggested that someone with superior education (i.e. your "professor of economics") should not have "the same vote" as an uneducated person (i.e. your "person who doesn't know what inflation is"). I was simply extrapolating that idea to its logical conclusion.

[–]epicwinguy101 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I suggested no such thing. Being formally educated correlates with being informed, but the two are not the same thing (though I did get lazy with my rigor that and made the assumption that an economics professors understands what inflation is). Which is why rather than education level be the basis, I would simply administer a shortened version the current US citizenship test used for immigrants at the same time a state ID is issued or renewed (exceptions made for those who need to test frequently for age). Obviously failure doesn't make you a non-citizen, but I think the US should make some effort to ensure that voters are going to be at least somewhat informed if they as they are making important decisions.

Democracies with uninformed voters will likely be about as successful as they sound.

He caught the Beedrill in the bug catching contest but gave it to some little girl that loved yellow and black striped pokemon. No, he never actually caught the Haunter but he still should have kept it!

Ah, I think I stopped watching around the bug catching contest part. I remember watching that one girl's Chikorita evolve and that's about it. And yeah, he should have kept Haunter and evolved it just 'cause Gengar's awesome.

Kingler, Charizard, Sceptile, Staraptor, Torterra, Monferno, Swellow, Donphan, Gliscor, Pidgeot, Butterfree are all Pokemon Ash owns/owned and fully evolved. That's not including his other Pokemon that were not fully evolved.

Fuck off.

[–]Ironfungus 44 points45 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

LOL careful son, you almost popped a blood vessel there.

  • Kingler is collecting dust in storage.
  • Charizard left a long time ago.
  • Butterfree was released to go make babies with that pink skank in the first season.
  • Pidgeot was also let go after defeating Fearow in Pallet Party Panic.

Bottom Line: They evolved (most likely without his consent), but Ash promptly got rid of them or refuses to use them. As for the rest of those failures you mentioned, they are not the original 150. Enough said.

Please don't add unnecessary context here. I'm mildly annoyed that people still imply that any other Pokemon outside the 150 suck. That's all. Especially if the series ended with the first game for you.

The Pope and Catholic Church endorse Pokemon as it is, John Paul II calling it "full of inventive imagination," without "any harmful moral side effects" and based on "ties of intense friendship".

I really get tired of this stuff. Come to think of it(admittedly as a Torontonian who lives in a very open and diverse place), atheists on reddit are probably responsible for most of the bigotry I see on a daily basis these days.

For example, in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, atheists and nonbelievers are used as mortar in the wall surrounding the "city of the dead" where dead souls initially go before judgment.

If I was placed in the D&D universe, I would know that magic and gods do exist, and I would subsequently not be an atheist.

A Christian or some other theist, on the other hand, will likely cling to his Earthly beliefs when transported to this new world.

Pretty much this. If I actually saw magic happening, which would be pretty easy is magic actually existed, I would not deny the existence of magic.

You know, unlike the religious people who just ignore the evidence of evolution even when given proof.

It always amaze me how ignorant some people on reddit are. I live in a catholic country. 89% of citizens belong to the catholic church. I can safely assume that most of the people I met in my life are catholics. And I never met any creationist.

Religion is taught every year, from elementary school to high school in my country. And on biology we are taught evolution. I never even new that people believe in creationism before I started to read reddit.

When Redditors say "Christians," they don't mean you. They mean Protestants who live in the Southern USA. Please learn a bit about the US if you want to understand where Redditors are coming from- the majority of Redditors are US residents/citizens and have to deal with batshit insane fundamentalists.

I've been a while on reddit and I get that, but ajwhitla didn't say "fundamentalists" or "Christians", he said "religious people". That's sort of generalization is just mindblowing for me. Seeing all religious people as southern rednecks is slightly ignorant on his part. Don't you agree?

[–]Kinbensha 1 point2 points ago

While I agree that generalizing religious people is undoubtedly a bad thing, as is generalizing all atheists or any other group, but what ajwhitla is probably doing is taking out his frustration on a group of people who, although being diverse in their beliefs, at their core believe in something without evidence.

That, to many Redditors, is enough to be branded crazy, regardless of how radical or tame a religious person one might be.

This is funny, and you received an upvote, but it's rough when "The Christian Playthrough" should include Catholics, who believe in Evolution.

What's the point in this at all, other then to flame. I don't see why people at reddit claim to be "civilized" and not a ton of trolls, but then up vote crap like this. Down vote me all you want, but you know that you're no better then 4chan.
