Reddit atheists are the most contemptible people in existence. The New Atheism fad was like 20 years ago by now, but it's still the lingua franca of Gen X and Millennial redditors.
@iska Just to followup on this, checking with the original sources shows that we were both right, Unreal was S3M in a UMX container, UT99 was IT in a UMX container.
@iska Seems simple enough to go find the original Unreal umx files and see what they contain. Unfortunately archive.org is being attacked right now so the iso links are all broken. RIP.
@iska The music for Deus Ex and Unreal Tournament was written in Impulse Tracker format, but shipped in the Unreal engine-specific container format UMX. Wikipedia also claims that the first Unreal was like that, but I dunno the actual history. Guess you could find the composers on twitter and ask.
The original notes for the unreal engine only mention IT.
@monsterislandcolonizer@nugger@sickburnbro True to an extent. The Jews don't have complete control of their golems, and their programming has gone a bit haywire over the last year. It feels like they're afraid that the dogs are going to go off the leash. Musk is entirely subservient to the larger Jewish banking families, but the tranny commissars still want him executed.
@RaHoWaJoe@sickburnbro@SuperLutheran There are a non-zero number of people in the neighbourhood of our spaces who are on the surface anti-Semitic, but when you listen to what they say, they will take the line that white people should act and behave and do all the same things Jews do. They are driven by envy of a group of people that they perceive to be better than them.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@bronzeagetruecel@BowsacNoodle@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida >There could be a higher power/s who created the universe, But it seems they either don't care and are just watching Yeah, I found that confusing growing up, having been raised as an Anglican, and as a teenager had a female priest. Much of the actual theology passed down from the Church fathers for millennia was obscured or ignored.
The reality is that this world isn't permanent and we've already been told about the end of it. God is not concerned with our accomplishments or making things happy or comfortable in this life, God is concerned with teaching his prospective children to love selflessly like He does, and healing them from the damage that sinning has done to them, so we are prepared for the next life.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@bronzeagetruecel@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida >Most if not all religions seem false to me, any sort of "good and moral all powerful god/s" is to me illogical with well all of this That's the thing, for me, it's illogical how you can *not* believe in a unifying principle underlying reality. But I've already made enough noise in @BowsacNoodle 's notifications, so I don't want to get into TAG or anything.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@bronzeagetruecel@BowsacNoodle@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida Of course they believe something that bears no connection to the reality of religious history. The actual historical reality is that the religion of the ancient world was much more likely to be monotheist than anything the pagan reconstructionists have ever come up with. The modern secular view of religious "evolution" going from animism -> polytheism -> monotheism -> scientific atheism is wrong on every level.
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@bronzeagetruecel@BowsacNoodle@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida Sure. But you're basically taking a position of nihilism. "If nothing is true, then the religion made up last century that could have come from a D&D supplement is just as heckin' valid as a millennia of experience of my actual ancestors."
And again, my point still stands, that there seem to be no actual interaction with these spiritual forces beyond what amounts to a wistful remembrance of them, and a "wouldn't it be cool if they were real" aesthetic. They aren't living as you would expect them to if they actually believed in what they say they worship. Let alone any testimony of actual miracles that they were responsible for.
(I'm aware that the vast majority of Christians also do not live like that, the realization of that as a teenager was why I never attended church as an adult. Until I basically stumbled into the Russian Orthodox Church in a circumstance that left zero doubt about certain things).
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@bronzeagetruecel@BowsacNoodle@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida You understand that the Völkisch movement itself originated in the 19th century. Like all neopagan "faiths" those were romantic reconstructions, not an actual continuation of any kind of historical practice. And I put "faith" in quotation marks, since like all neopagans, other than some basic magical ritual and non-committal talk about virtue, there's almost no focus on the actual dieties that they allege to believe in enough to worship.
@bronzeagetruecel@BowsacNoodle@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired@veff@vic@TatsuyaIshida Pagan LARPing is a modern invention that was mostly an outgrowth of the many and varied occult groups in the 19th century. While not explicitly Jewish, many of the occult systems that gave rise to the pagan LARPers made extensive use of Kabbalah, as well as anything else they could get their hands on. Freemasonry itself makes extensive use of Jewish symbolism in it's rituals to the point where it has to be considered at least Jewish in part.
