... occupy generally didn't exactly involve multiple dozen armed people explicitly issuing death threats, right from the start. Biiiiit of a difference, there. Just a 'lil. Could be a fair bit of why you're seeing calls for a different reaction.

Which game? That sounds pretty fun and I'm struggling to find one worth the money.

... you actually quoted that one. You have no excuse of not being able to see the abbr function

Also you've still got about a day to pick it, and about twelve other games of roughly similar intent and construction, up for around 9 USD.

More like every week or two, but I guess slow months happen occasionally. I'd be nice if they happened more.

It's a Korean novel + Manhwa not an anime.

Easily one of the best video-game-thing type whatsits I'm aware of, as well. Just starting to check out some of the illustrated bits, but I've read through the translated parts of the novel... two or three times, now, though obviously it was at different lengths at the time, ha. Fun stuff. Definitely has a different feel to it, compared to most japanese based stuff of similar nature.

Anyone looking for something pretty similar might check out Ark. They're fairly distinct, but definitely running off more or less the same tropes.

It just occurred to me that I still lie about my age on all those age restricted things (putting that I'm 87 or something) when I haven't had to for years.

It's just a good habit, really. Keep it up.

Of course not? Great heaps of christian metaphysics happily wrap themselves up in mumbles about different planes of existence, with not the least hint of an effect on relevance or plausibility. The acts of Christ and all the mess that happened before happening in something like purgatory or heaven make them no less significant than if they occurred on earth, and are still just as valuable from a salvation/truth/etc. standpoint. Plus the stories being transmitted from something like heaven isn't exactly any less plausible than the texts being divinely inspired truth (however fuzzy it is on realism). It not being relevant because it happens on a different plane of existence is a usually rather non-christian viewpoint, heh, and plausibility never really comes through the door to begin with.

And nah, eg, just meant that all the fancy stuff happened edgewise to actual reality. If anything, it just further emphasizes the spiritual (in the sense of a soul and whatnot) aspect of the faith, which can be pretty substantial (or completely nonexistent) depending on how you interpret the text.

Rot got inside in a way you couldn't tell without actually cutting into the part in question, and I have a tendency to eat potatoes more or less whole. You take a bite out of half a potato and suddenly there is this faintly indescribable taste in your mouth and the next thing you remember you're over a toilet and distinctly unhappy. Stomach has since become stronger, so the latter half didn't happen with this latest instance of spud horror, but the taste was worse nonetheless.

Forget why I couldn't smell it at the time, though. Potato sludge is usually a pretty distinct stench.

Pretty good descriptors, yeah. In multiple decades of potatoing, it was the worst potato I've ever potato'd. And I've had some pretty damn foul potatoes, right up to accidentally ingesting rotten potato sludge. That was the worst. May it never be topped.
