To be honest, not a whole lot is different these days for me. I was raised to believe in God, Heaven, eventually Hell, and the importance of honoring the family tradition of going to Church every single Christmas and Easter, their occasions that absolutely cannot be missed.

I will note that I deconverted fully around 14 years old, ironically during the Christmas Eve service and my single biggest fear for a couple of years was my family finding out and their reaction.

Things have gotten better since then, and thankfully, my atheism is (mostly) accepted by my family these days, so all’s well.

Obligatory comment: My sunday’s are actually free now, so time for some video games.

I can relate to this. I’m a full blown atheist, someone who just doesn’t have any doubt on their beliefs for religion.

Even then, when I visit my besties Eastern Orthodox Church once in a blue moon (probably for a significant personal occassion or learning a new Holiday I never celebrated), I still feel an overall sense of community at her Church, and it helps that everyone i’ve met there is so nice.

I don’t believe being a Christian (especially a conservative Christian) is the lifestyle for me, and I just can not bring myself to believe for a moment in it, but even with that, the vague sense of community is still there. Makes for a pleasant trip at least.

Pepperoni, pineapple, green peppers, grilled meat to act like sausages, mozzarella cheese, and cheese sticks inside the crust to make it a stuff crust pizza.

Now i’m just imagining a wizard casting enlarge/reduce on themselves to shrink and attacking with an army of ants.

Screw it, time to make a Druid with said ability that loves ants.

Funnily enough, i’m doing a Roll20 campaign with a group of friends, and the setting is that their adventurer’s part of an ingame adventurer’s guild (helps explain new members and real life absentees).

I was thinking about having them meet another party that’s part of the guild since my players aren’t the only ones whose a member.

Rather unfortunate to know that it’s from this instance. I do trust that my admin, the almighty Jerry, will be able to resolve it.

Why thank you Sir Picard. I have one very paranoid group of players now though, lol.

I wonder if it’s something funky with how kbin and Lemmy handles timestamps.

I hail from Fedia.IO, a kbin instance.

@plum This is the first time a Mimic I placed that was successfully triggered, and this particular group of players didn’t vocalize any suspicions on the book being the Mimic. We ended the session with joking that everything is now a potential mimic, especially that rock over there, or perhaps that Stalagmite, maybe even my sword is a mimic now.

I just gotta patiently wait for the Mimic funny business to calm down before I place another one, muhahahahaha.

I understand your pain with that last point. Being an atheist teen in a family that highly values religious holidays (and more) is a life experience I hope people don’t have to go through.

Things got better, as I hope things are well for you.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is why memes aren’t a good source for history.

That’s honestly pretty cool though, this is just one of those things I tend to take for granted.

Yeeeaaahhh… Why did we decide this was a good idea?

I bring you greetings from the kbin instance known as Fedia.IO

All Hail the mighty Jerry.

Does Yoshi’s Island count? I loved that game to death and it’s ending makes me tear up as well.
