He's a bible thumper who aggressively defends 'Christianity', the kind of person who believes that going to church means you can't be a bad person
It makes me really sad when people use their religion as an excuse to be homophobic

I know plenty of Christians that are fully supportive of people like me and still go to church every week
oof

I see people attacking Chris Pratt for the same arguments they rightfully abhor when people use them against Muslims, equating faith to extremism.

Going to a church, mosque, synagogue, etc. and being member of a congregation doesn't inherently instill you with the worst aspects of the belief system.

From what I've seen it's been people who don't actually know Chris Pratt all too happy to bandwagon on the hate train predicated on him being a devout dude and people who actually know him vouching for him. I'm inclined not to side with the twitter mob, who seem to be using even shakier reasoning that usual to cancel this guy.

I mean, I'm an athiest - I think it's all nonsense. But simply being religious and being part of a parish doesn't make you a homophobe. I know people who are both gay and religious. It's 2021, they're not mutually exclusive.

He'll decline the role after hearing that the Greeks were gay as ****
considering Star Lord is now bi (maybe not in the MCU, but elsewhere it's his new sexuality), I don't think Pratt would decline the Hercules role depending on the story and all that hoo haa

No it's not. The remake for the first Final Fantasy Tactics is War of the Lions for PSP(and I think it's on iOS as well).
Huh. So, technically they pulled a Metal Gear in terms of sequels with FF Tactics, FF Tactics Advance, and FF Tactics Advance 2.

So guys fell off the bike for first time since I started riding it...........by some kid who threw a stone at me. Thought he was being cool by attacking someone on the bike the wee ****.
Suddenly turned and fell off but thank god my co-ordination is a lot better otherwise I probably would have injured myself.

Did shout at him and called a brat but then padded myself down and carried on. This is why some kids should never be outside.

It makes me really sad when people use their religion as an excuse to be homophobic

Makes me sad when people use religion as an excuse to be very selfish, not to mention homophobic.

I believe religion has good intentions always, just bad people who would make it worse by not being inclusive. I don't get the hate on some communities when they are inclusive.

The Digimon booster box he ordered with his stimulus money got here.

He gave me the promo card on the top of the box which was Black Gatomon. And he gave me 2 packs plus a couple repeat cards he got in his packs.

I have mostly green cards so maybe i'll build a deck with those, i got a couple Terriermon and wormmon cards and a Ken human card.
I dont know much about the game but i got my favorite human character from the OG series and some of my favorite digimon overall so i think this was a pretty good pull for this seemingly rare and expensive card game.

I still want a Guilmon card tho.

Not really. The Tactics Advance series does not involve any of the main FF Tactics characters compared to Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2. Tactics Advance starts in modern time long after the events of FFT, but the main story takes place before Final Fantasy Tactics, around the time of Final Fantasy 12/XII.

I said in terms of sequel titles.

I’ve seen some crazy **** I didn’t think possible.

They went all out on the mii maker this time. Wish it was like this before, honestly.
I regret that I've seen a few 'cause I wanted to see the capabilities myself without "spoilers" (if that's what you could call 'em, lol) but now I'm just freaking stoked to get my hands on this thing. It looks too good.

My brother gave me the last pack of the booster box.

I got Mega Gargomon and Stingmon AND banchoStingmon. So this very much works out for me, since i already had Wormmon, his in training form AND Ken. (His owner in the OG anime)
I'm just a Ken ichijoji stan now, this is my life.

I've been meaning to get into the Digimon TCG, but man, Bandai sucks at distributing. I quite literally cannot find anything related to the game locally(although tbf my city is kinda small so that's to be expected) but at the same time every card and product is 100x more expensive than similar cards from other games. It probably didn't help that the first way of sets and starter decks kept on getting delayed, and most people who were on board lost interest quick.

I just found out by reading the card list that one of the human cards in this booster set is this girl from the Digimon story videogames:

This caught my attention because i was under the impression that the human cards were entirely based on the OG anime.

I dont even know if ill get more Digimon cards because of how hard they are to get, i'm just happy i managed to get some official Digimon merch at all lol

I have paradoxically put them in some Pokemon card sleeves i had lying around, i have 30 green cards in said sleeves so i guess it's a work in progress deck. i dont know the card limit for this game.

So, like, I'm not planning to get Miitopia atm, but can Nintendo, like, update the Switch's Mii Maker to include all the customization options that Miitopia has so we can get cool and actually accurate Miis in games like Smash and a new Tomodachi Life game while we’re at it? Please and thank you.

Worse thing about watch anime that isn't a seasonal is trying to keep your in the mood for it or you lose steam.

Binged half of Re:Creators two nights ago and while I want to continue just feel meh on watching stuff.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Wait wait wait hold on... HOLD THE **** ON

Are you seriously trying to tell me that Google
A company known for searching stuff
Did not add a search bar to their failure of a gaming system when it launched

Bruh.
Stadia should have stayed on the cutting room floor.

No matter how hard companies cut it, nothing will ever be better than having a game you fully own and a controller/mouse and keyboard. And they know it.

Unless you are Nintendo sometimes.

I only like the idea of streaming games if it's for really old titles, kinda like what Nintendo is doing with the Switch online.

But even they suck at it because there's not much variety.

The first thing I think of when someone says "Cowboy Bebop" is Bebop from TMNT in a cowboy hat. Or a robot cowboy. It probably has nothing to do with either of those.
