A Steam practice I find odious

Something I find often on Steam I LOATHE and find utterly detestable is finding games that are obviously left to rot by developers who could at least ensure it will function on modern PCs when bought. Two games in particular this is odious on are Fallout 3 and Deus Ex: Invisible War The first one admits it's not gonna run well on anything newer than Windows 7 and requires several fan patches to fix issues that the official developers could have taken twenty minutes out of their lives to do themselves. Considering one usually has to still buy Fallout 3 and use it as one half of the Tales of Two Wastelands Mod just to run it on the Fallout New Vegas engine (which is modern computer friendly), and considering they still expect people to pay money for it and it has a very active modding community even now, you'd THINK Bethesda could be bothered to care. Nope. They are too busy running customer goodwill into the ground with that trashfire called Fallout 76. As for Deus Ex:I...

Because I want to laugh at my A-Logs (AKA those Mad At The Internet At Me)

I recently have gotten insulting comments from people who are trying to go out of their way to piss me off and all they doing is amusing me. For the benefit of the confused, they are one of two: 1. One is some assblasted manchild who constantly sends occasional messages I need to be lynched or that I should kill myself either via my DeviantArt account page or this very blog. I rarely visit the former these days, and the latter I HAVE COMMENT MODERATION ON YOU IDIOT, YOUR COMMENTS NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AND I DELETE WITHOUT GIVING THEM A SECOND GLANCE. They appear to be someone very mad I got rid of examples for the Complete Monster trope on All The Tropes (one or both of the branches of it), and they think wishing very hard I should die is gonna fix things. Honestly, I pity someone that petty, they can always find something better and less pathetic to do with their time. 2. My other a-logs are the same assholes I quit regularly posting on the Kiwi Farms to get away from ...

Being Like God or Like a Devil, A Choice Every Christian Faces

It's said godly truths can come from the most unlikely sources, and since I'm a robot anime fan, I believe the anime franchise Mazinger Z has a moral Christians should do well to consider. Mazinger Z was created by Go Nagai as a kids show like series where the hero Koji Kabuto (his name is a pun, his last means helmet, he pilots the machine from the head region via a device called a Pilder) pilots the title robot against the mad scientist Dr. Hell (the most obviously evil name you could ever have, as if the fact he looks like Santa Claus's evil purple skinned twin wasn't obvious enough) and his mechanical armies. The conflict is over Dr. Hell wanting to seize the title robot and it's power source, Photon Power, for his own ends of world domination, and the implications of the show have a nice moral tale to them. The title machine comes from the Japanese words "Ma" meaning "demon" and "Jin" meaning "God", and the dual tit...
