Noah got both his daughters pregnant.

Nah, that was Lot.

My understanding of volume is awful. 3.8L sounds so much bigger than the volume described by 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2cm. Like, my brain goes, “that’s almost two 2L bottles and those are huge!”

Like I said, Protestant churches come in many flavors. MANY flavors.

What you’re saying is like, “Every quadrilateral I’ve seen lately has four equal sides and four right angles, I think you’re wrong about them only needing four sides.”

Evangelicals are (generally) Protestants (although “Evangelical” isn’t really any sort of organized body but rather something people identify as), but not all Protestants identify as Evangelicals. Those who preach the Prosperity Gospel would profess to be Protestant or Evangelical, but not all Protestants or even all Evangelicals buy into Prosperity Gospel.

Again, the most progressive denominations of Christianity are Protestant. That said, so are the least progressive denominations. It’s a huge category.

The cube is smaller than it looks. It’s a bit bigger than the GameCube. 3D print a handle for it and it’s as portable as a machine gets!

Edit: I mean, obviously not as portable as the Deck, but that’s a handheld.

Edit 2:
Steam Machine is 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2 cm.
GameCube is 15 x 15 x 11 cm.

1080p looks fine on a 4K (2160p) screen especially if whatever you’re using to display it (be that your machine, receiver, or the TV itself in the case of “smart” TVs) is good at upscaling. Worse case scenario it looks the same as 1080p content looks on a TV of the same size, since 2160p is literally just 4x the pixels of 1080p.

1080p can look bad on a 1440p display though, since it doesn’t go evenly in and you’ll need good upscaling.

Protestantism.

Protestantism is Christianity but Jesus is Replaced with Capitalism. If you're rich, God has chosen you. If you're poor you have definitely committed every sin.

To help the poor is therefore a betrayal of God.

That is very much not Protestantism. Protestantism is simply the branches of Christianity that descend from the Reformation in the 1500s, “Protesting” what they saw as corruption and even heresy in the Roman Catholic Church. Broadly speaking, Christianity falls into three major categories: the Roman Catholic Church (with the pope and whatnot), Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Protestant churches come in many different flavors.

Most (if not all) of the most progressive and Christ-like churches are Protestant.

What you’re talking about is Prosperity Gospel. Which is completely antithetical to Christian theology, but that doesn’t stop greedy megachurch preachers and televangelists from pushing it onto ignorant people who know nothing about their own faith.

Edit: Seeing the downvotes, allow me to clarify. I’m not saying all Protestant churches are progressive. As I stated in my follow-up, the least progressive churches are also Protestant. And the behaviors being decried are indeed carried out by Protestants. But I’m saying that Protestant is a very broad category that is not encapsulated by the description I was replying to. The accusation shouldn’t be leveled at Protestantism, but rather at Evangelicals or specifically those who hold to Prosperity Gospel.

Thank you for making the analog stick aligned like sensible human hands are. Fucking can’t stand the offset sticks on the Xbox.

I understand the frustration, but personally I’ve always preferred the Xbox/Nintendo stick layout over the PlayStation one myself. For many games, my thumbs are primarily on left thumb stick and face buttons. Obviously anything with camera controls is different, but the offset has never bothered me as much as extending both thumbs down to the sticks like on PlayStation, which sit where they are as a relic of the DualShock introducing analog sticks to an existing controller. (Though I’ll admit the PlayStation setup doesn’t bother me that much, it’s just slightly less comfortable in my opinion.)

The Steam Deck works fine for me because both sticks are higher up, like where the left stick on Xbox/Nintendo falls, rather than below the D-Pad and face buttons like on PlayStation. With this one being somewhere in between, I think I’ll like it just fine. I’m excited to get my hands on one to find out.

Could use it as the wheel that tightens the headband!

Have you heard the Trans-Siberian Orchestra mashup of Carol of the Bells and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen called Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24?

You border on blasphemy! Symmetrical names are holy!

If only.
