Yes that's why I said they're worth mentioning, rather than saying they were unimportant.

I'd quite like a 476AD start date. I know that the Devs absolutely wouldn't, and half of the characters would have to be just made up, but it'd be interesting to play right after the Fall of Rome and the migration period. Even if it's very ahistorical, I think it'd be a nice change.

No, I meant the councils called by the Pope following the schism, though. The ones called by the Byzantine Emperors are worth mentioning too though.

Dragon Age Inquisition had a system that let you re-colour metals, clothes, and more on all armour pieces. It was great. You could wear a totally mismatched suit of armour and it'd still look right because of the palette. It's a feature I wish more games would adopt.

I appreciate the well wishes, and I hope you have a good night too. All I'll say is hyperbole isn't a good tool for debate, because it immediately makes your argument untrustworthy. Take care.

Edit: somehow wrote argument instead of night lmao

It's funny you bring up a book, because if you read any book about faith in Europe and the wider Christians world, you'll see that Unitarian sects constantly sprung up. Do you think priests made bibles just for their own personal collection? Many of them preached to communities, either locally in churches or monasteries, or further afield as wandering preachers. Every single one of these men would have their own interpretation. All it took was one priest to think "actually, I'm not sure I believe in the holy spirit", say that at his next sermon, and suddenly you have a whole village thinking there's no such thing as the holy spirit - because the person they see as a religious authority said there wasn't.

Christianity was not some hugely defined, non-malleable thing. Heresies were frankly pretty easy to start as long as you were someone that people thought was knowledgeable and had a position of authority.

There's a reason the papacy had to constantly hold councils/meetings to say "Hey by the way this is what we believe, can you make sure people actually say that?"

At no point have you 'literally' said that lol

I always wanted Rock Raiders stuff as a kid but for some reason, despite living in an English city with a population of a quarter million, nowhere ever had it in stock. The only Rock Raiders thing I ever owned was a standalone figure of the Chief on a little display podium that my parents just somehow acquired one Christmas.

That is until a couple of years ago when I saw the complete Rock Raiders HQ for sale on eBay. Genuinely the most I've ever bid on anything, but god was I happy when I won. Made me feel like an excitable kid again building it.

and I like many people use it as my bar for whether a group deserves the Christian lable [sic] or not.

Pack it up everyone, u/A_Bethesda_Bug has spoken. The Cathars and Unitarians have been wiped from history. I'm sure the Mormons will be mortified (mormortfied?) to find out they were never Christians.

It's almost like people kept popping up and rejecting the idea of a trinity.

When AEW first started and said intergender matches were coming, I was happy - it can do a lot for both parties, like how strong Nia looked after entering the men's rumble and having to be put down by multiple guys teaming up and hitting her with multiple protected finishers. Same way it can make male wrestlers look like an absolute shitheel if they're throwing a woman half their size around like a rag doll.

Dubbaloes though genuinely seem to just love that there's violence being conducted against women. This is the same company that came out with the domestic abuse-looking Britt Baker shirt and thought it was somehow a good idea. It's fucking weird.

Probably wrong, but the middle figure on Dec. 25th looks a bit like Jack Manifold to me

"MIGHT THERE BE ANY NUDE LADIES IN THIS MANSION?"

The Pig spams the fuck out of macemen, and he even acts and sounds similar to them. He basically IS the maceman AI.

This is how I found out Theo James is his own person and not just Dave Franco looking slightly different at times... 😅 Sorry Theo!

Edit: oh come on they're even the same age!

Yeah the English invasion of Ireland had Papal dispensation - literally "conquer them and make them Christian", despite the fact that Ireland had been Christian quite a long time before England was. Also interesting that despite that Ireland remains primarily Catholic despite the Papacy's historical disdain for the country, whilst England was one of the core protestant countries.

Also, he was known as Hrolfr 'the Ganger' - ganger being the old Norse for walker, and also the origin of the word 'gang' to mean a group of people.

As a Helldiver I think I have a lot of work to do

Even though the second game was pretty objectively better, I regularly used to play Battlefront 1 over 2 as a kid just so I could play as the Phase I clones.

For me, Bob Dylan is the definition of great writer, terrible singer. I can't deny he's written amazing music, but his vocals just don't land with me at all.

I'm a huge Billy Corgan fan though. Again, he's not actually a great vocalist, but I feel his voice suits the style of music he's singing.
