America doesn't care. Andrew Jackson was on the wrong side of history and he's on our currency.

We seem to accept genocide quite readily if there's profit behind it. If there's not, we'll just ignore it.

I mean, it's good but "E for Everyone" is also available.

Not to trivialize your experience, but Deloused the the Comatorium by The Mars Volta is a true story about a guy that tried to kill himself by drinking rat poison, going into a coma, coming out of it, and realizing that the coma world was more preferable/he couldn't cope with the waking world and jumps off of a building to get back. He died.

It's an interesting album that might help? There's a lot of disconnected, out there nonsense in his dreams that they express in the songs.

I'm sure it's not nearly as intense as being in a dreaming coma, but I found music that touches upon a traumatic situation helps me sort it out.

I get things like "enlightenment", etc. But the average person (at least in the US) that isn't already Catholic has a strong possibility of already being told they aren't real Christians, and isn't going to know or care about etymology, and will assume it's Lucifer. They could call the main character Satin after the cloth and it's have the same effect, even though they aren't related.

It's simple word association. I'm aware of the Latin translations. I'm also aware that most people are not going to think about it too long, and immediately going to jump to conclusions. They also believe in Bigfoot. What end of the Bell curve are we talking about, here?

I dunno, he's a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn't like and it's pretty mainstream.

Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could've been "Peace", "Faith", or "Love" or whatever.

This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it's a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.

So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There's Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit's sake.

Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.

This seems so much worse on it's face, even if you leave out the undertones of children's abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)

I'm speaking mainly of the distrust against the public having access for fear that we'd abuse it and not give them a cut. We can't have access to these things now, but we used to. Regardless of form, regardless of piracy.

It's more of a move to restrict ownership when you make a purchase, that has a farther reach than just games. I could see this being applied to cars, houses, etc. In that you only rent a license, and don't actually own anything. I see this as just a first step, and the logic they use to justify it doesn't make sense.

We used to rent these games from Blockbuster Video! On DVD when we had DVD burners and little to no drm! How did it suddenly not become acceptable?

Oh no, they're putting denuvo on it? Man I loved the first game. I don't think they even had anything close to a problem with piracy because it was a huge hit. Like, it not only did amazing for Warhorse Studios, but it made a huge tourism jump for the region.

That's a bummer, and as much as I want to support KC:D II, I can't support denuvo.

Mixing water and sand? Is he referring to the Falling Sand game? Just missing wax and fire. What a throwback.

I love shakshuka, but only had it as a dinner. I'll have to try it as a brunch. My understanding is it's kind of made with whatever's on hand, but mine looks like yours. It's delicious! We try to make naan or some other kind of bread to go with it, as well.
