Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was a good game and I liked it. 007: First Light was a good game and I liked it. People will call you a shill for just liking a popular thing these days. Everyone needs to be a gaming hipster now. I think that's gay. Far too much gaming discourse is metapolitical status games. There is of course plenty of room and plenty of reason for metapolitical discourse in gaming and I do it all the time. Now I'm as racist and sexist as any groyper but what I'm not is a reactionary. In fact over many years of engaging in reactionary politics I understand that reactionary is not even a political posture but more so a life attitude of hating everything in front of you and lionizing everything behind you... and I think that's retarded and overall not very useful. In fact it mostly contributes to the very declines it laments. Criticism is only valuable if it is constructive. The mere declaration of a thing as slop is insufficient to be useful or valuable. One must discuss what is well done as well as poorly done, in detail, in particular, on a case by case basis. The better possibility must be discussed in practical terms, too, not just as a wishlist. Totalistic and absolutist positions like "if it has this one bad thing it's ruined" are retarded and you may be dismissed out of hand yourself if you possess any single flaw likewise.

Sometimes Christians wonder why God doesn't cure them of their sin...
Why do they keep returning to the same old habits, keep falling with addictions, keep failing...
But remember this:
Jesus cleansed 10 lepers, only 1 returned to worship Him.
As soon as they got what they wanted, 9 left.
It was their affliction that caused them to draw near to God...
And their cleansing that caused them to leave Him behind.
What makes you so sure that if God healed you, you wouldn't be like those 9 lepers?
Trust in God, remain faithful, and pray that His will be done above your own.

"Never trust your own thoughts. Live simply and without excessive thinking, like a child with his father.
Faith, without overthinking, works miracles.
Live with patience, without overanalyzing."

“Every day I lay a foundation for building my repentance, and again with my own hands I demolish it."

When you see men fall into various sins against yourself, against the Lord, against their neighbours, and against themselves, do not be angry with them—for there is much anger and malice in the world without your anger—but pity them from all your soul and excuse them when they offend against you, saying to yourself: "Father! forgive them," for sin perplexes them; "they know not what they do." [Luke 23:34].
My Life in Christ, St John of Kronstadt, Page 312
Когда вы видите, что люди впадают в различные грехи против вас, против Господа, против ближних и против самих себя, не гневайтесь на них, ибо много гнева и злобы в мире и без вашего гнева, но пожалейте их от всей души и извините их, когда они оскорбляют вас, говоря себе: «Отче! прости им», ибо грех смущает их; «не знают, что делают» (Лука 23:34).

Christ prayed for those that crucified Him: ‘Father, count not this sin against them; they know not what they do.’ Archdeacon Stephen prayed for those who stoned him so that the Lord would not judge this sin against them. And so we, if we wish to retain grace, must pray for our enemies. If you do not find pity on a sinner who will suffer in flames, then you do not carry the grace of the Holy Spirit, but rather an evil spirit; and while you yet live, you must free yourself from his clutches through repentance.

Some people say: "I believe that God will help me," yet at the same time, they hoard money so that they lack nothing. They are mocking God because they do not put their trust in Him, but in money. If they do not stop loving money and placing their hope in it, they will never be able to place their hope in God. I am not saying that people should not save a little for times of necessity, but they should not put all their hope in money and give their hearts to it, for in doing so, they forget about God. Whoever makes plans on their own, without trusting in God, and then claims that this is God's will, receives a "blessing" from the devil and is constantly tormented. We have not come to know the power and goodness of God. We do not allow Him to guide us, and that is why we suffer so much.

"Condemn me not, O Christ, to the flames of Gehenna, as the rich man was condemned because he had neglected Lazarus; but grant even to me, who ask with tears, a drop of Thy lovingkindness, O God, and have mercy upon me." from Matins for today.
