2025-05-24T17:24:28.197951+00:00CATNo. 635>>632 El Shaddai? Allow me to tell you a tale.
2025-05-24T17:25:00.508166+00:00CATNo. 636It took place 360,000... No, 140,000 years ago.
2025-05-24T17:25:30.676505+00:00CATNo. 637But what is time anyway? To me it seems like yesterday.
2025-05-24T17:25:59.517214+00:00CATNo. 638For you, it might be tomorrow.
2025-05-24T17:26:11.592505+00:00CATNo. 639It's the story of a man.
2025-05-24T17:27:02.815626+00:00CATNo. 640Known by 72 different names. I'm not sure which to call him by... When I first met him, his name was... Enoch!
2025-05-24T17:27:29.033730+00:00CATNo. 641That's right, even then he wouldn't let anyone tell him what to do.
2025-05-24T17:27:52.589135+00:00CATNo. 642Not even me.
2025-05-24T17:28:16.345628+00:00CATNo. 643Well, he was a pretty good guy.
2025-05-24T17:31:59.178058+00:00CATNo. 646"This is not your appointed time to die. It takes place 360,000... No, 140,000 years ago."
2025-05-24T17:34:14.777727+00:00CATNo. 647"But what is time anyway? To me it seems like your appointed time to die is tomorrow."
2025-05-24T17:34:51.341691+00:00CATNo. 648"For you, it might be yesterday."
2025-05-25T15:50:44.287960+00:00CATNo. 649Hello
2025-05-25T15:51:20.582377+00:00CATNo. 650I'm trying to find any interesting spell books and witchcrafts any idea please
2025-05-25T16:11:55.361044+00:00CATNo. 651>>650 condensed chaos i think might be one
2025-05-25T16:17:20.805004+00:00CATNo. 652>>635 It's a reason for me to clean out my 360, sounds like a power generator lol but boy will it be cool to finally be able to play it.
2025-05-26T04:19:37.678813+00:00CATNo. 653The First Flame quickly fades. Darkness will shortly settle. But one day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by lords past.
Ashen One, hearest thou my voice, still?
2025-05-26T20:23:30.837235+00:00CATNo. 654>>635 saw a giantbomb article that had a few interesting things to say
2025-05-26T20:24:25.146979+00:00CATNo. 655(link not allowed)
2025-05-26T20:24:36.664919+00:00CATNo. 656(link not allowed)
2025-05-26T20:26:27.985568+00:00CATNo. 658“Sometimes in my dreams I see what I think to be the afterlife,” he said. “Dreams I have had inspired some of the looks in El Shaddai.”
2025-05-27T00:00:11.653095+00:00CATNo. 660>“People in Japan typically describe themselves as following multiple belief systems and philosophies,” he continued, “whereas other regions of the world more strictly adhere to one particular religion. I believe this causes sensitivities on the topic of religion that does not happen here in Japan. That may explain why it is more ‘taboo’ in Western cultures than in Japan.”
2025-05-27T00:42:07.485881+00:00CATNo. 661and its gay for the west to piss all over and cencor it because to be honest you can do really cool stuff with that subject matter
2025-05-27T00:42:50.172861+00:00CATNo. 662anyhow its interesting because now i'm thinking of SMT, xenogears, and other stuff that had religious themes to it
2025-05-28T04:35:49.568378+00:00CATNo. 663niggers
2025-05-28T04:35:58.353054+00:00CATNo. 664no niggers here
2025-05-28T04:40:03.358951+00:00CATNo. 665there could be
2025-05-28T04:40:17.918536+00:00CATNo. 666you think they're hiding in the shadows?
2025-05-28T04:40:44.001462+00:00CATNo. 667if they did how could you see them
2025-05-28T04:41:55.663945+00:00CATNo. 668spraying some flour could do the trick!
2025-05-28T04:46:52.652115+00:00CATNo. 669then they would be wiggers
2025-05-28T04:51:18.723039+00:00CATNo. 670its like pokemon evolution
2025-06-01T13:54:16.920626+00:00CATNo. 689i want to becom ait hostess did anyone have tips or advice for me?
2025-06-01T14:16:37.588568+00:00CATNo. 690>>683 Hello and welcome
2025-06-01T14:27:27.429054+00:00CATNo. 691>>689 ait hostess?
2025-06-02T00:08:33.393982+00:00CATNo. 692man, i've been so busy
2025-06-02T14:21:56.497915+00:00CATNo. 693The Daniel Petric case makes no sense
2025-06-02T14:23:39.983030+00:00CATNo. 694i mean i can talk about it in another thread but, i was watching this hour long video called "the darkest things to happen in fandoms" and i'm personally convinced something else went on that's unrelated to videogames and halo 3
2025-06-02T14:28:37.929902+00:00CATNo. 695So the kid got injured, a bad spinal injury, and a friend shows up with a copy of halo and is like "you'll enjoy the hell out of it" so he plays it, enjoys it, and after the injury visits his friends house to play halo, because his christian parents won't allow violent videogames in their household
2025-06-02T14:30:11.288993+00:00CATNo. 696He was homebound for a year because of a bad snowboarding accident, he also watched tv
2025-06-02T14:30:45.676613+00:00CATNo. 697allegedly the accident was super stressful, being injured like that
2025-06-02T14:40:09.982543+00:00CATNo. 698halo is not that violent of a game, and the crime was a major leap, he basically stole his parents gun, asked them to close their eyes, and them shot and killed the mother and damn near killed the father
2025-06-02T15:24:49.310639+00:00CATNo. 699Life Assemblies of God is also a weird ass church, also evangelicals and pat robinson are also suspect although i'm not really convinced of bullshit like "demonic possession or some bullshit like that, but i think its something to kind of note that they aren't as christian as they think.
2025-06-02T15:27:41.890597+00:00CATNo. 700Its a thing to consider, if the lifestyle led to some type of neurotic breakdown, something left unexplained in his personal life, and the injury and the game being a catalyst and not the result of the mental breakdown
2025-06-02T15:28:30.121315+00:00CATNo. 701i mean, the game and the injury being only a minor key and not the actual cause
2025-06-02T15:30:38.221129+00:00CATNo. 702Also, what if he had a secret friend group, he made online, or perhaps irl that his parents didn't know about, and they convinced him that he should do something retarded
2025-06-02T15:33:49.748227+00:00CATNo. 703Also there's the Tsutomu Miyazaki case, the so called "otaku killer"
2025-06-02T15:35:52.477495+00:00CATNo. 704There's no way in the god damn anime drove the dude to kill, i mean if your watching dark shit on the regular i can imagine it can lead you to a bad headspace but come on, there's more to it then just that, look at his personal life before hand, he was already mentally fucked
2025-06-02T15:36:19.848259+00:00CATNo. 705Without porn or anime the dude could have found a way to become a killer
2025-06-02T15:36:36.425086+00:00CATNo. 706"The danger of a whole generation of youth who do not even experience the most primary two- or three-way relationship between themselves and their mother and father, and who cannot make the transition from a fantasy world of videos and manga to reality, is now extreme."
2025-06-02T15:36:55.311303+00:00CATNo. 707that qoute is kind of bullshit
2025-06-02T15:37:40.892382+00:00CATNo. 708He actually seems like he was severly neglected as a child
2025-06-02T15:38:29.907128+00:00CATNo. 709he was also born with a defect and was bullied hardcore
2025-06-02T15:39:27.118077+00:00CATNo. 710Doubtful he was given a way to actually cope
2025-06-02T15:42:03.301363+00:00CATNo. 711His strict upbringing, maybe the "you need to work every god damn day and get an important job" along with neglect, and then the deformity and the bullying was the primary cause
2025-06-02T15:42:59.872548+00:00CATNo. 712>After his arrest, Miyazaki would say that what he really craved was "being listened to about his problems" but believed that his parents, more worried about the material than the sentimental, "would have not heard [him]; [he] would've been ignored"
2025-06-02T15:54:01.515012+00:00CATNo. 713>"the psychic disorders of children are more often than not causally connected with the psychology of the parents, and in most cases one would do well to pay more attention to the faulty attitude of parents and educators than to the child’s psyche, which in itself would function correctly if it were not disturbed by the harmful influence of the parents" And this can be conscious or subconscious fuckery. Yes, parents aren't always to blame, maybe there's another factor to consider but still, it seems like whenever there's perverse behaviour or a violent crime, it seems like people always wants a scapegoat
2025-06-02T15:59:13.126557+00:00CATNo. 714>>705 I don't want to moralfag or deflect, porn addiction is real and there is a slippery slope but come on, there has to be a cause that would lead to the effect to watching fucked up shit. There isn't a case where some dude is an otaku who watches fucking Doraemon and is like "why yes blue earless cat, i must kill 100 people and then rape several kids"
2025-06-02T15:59:44.666128+00:00CATNo. 715thats what those stupid fuckers make it sounds like lol
2025-06-02T16:00:37.606549+00:00CATNo. 716Why yes master chief, i should kill my parents!
2025-06-02T16:01:01.646709+00:00CATNo. 717Surely if i kill them, they'll respawn
2025-06-02T16:02:23.453410+00:00CATNo. 718no one also watches fucked up shit on the blue, and also just because they watched fucked up shit also doesn't mean they'll also do fucked up shit
2025-06-02T16:05:27.761195+00:00CATNo. 719i'm sure there's people who watches the most fucked up anime possible and still behaves normally without the urge to go and cannibalise someone as an example
2025-06-02T16:05:43.003223+00:00CATNo. 720It's too funny
2025-06-02T16:10:13.899844+00:00CATNo. 721there was plenty of dark anx fucked up shit in fairytales
2025-06-02T16:38:57.518392+00:00CATNo. 722the original red riding hood story, the girl has an encounter in which she is led deep into the woods, the wolf basically learns from the stupid girl the location of her home, and he basically also "checks out" the girl. he leaves and the wolf skins the grandmother alive and eats her corpse, then puts on the skin. the typical interaction goes down, but this time the wolf asks the girl to unrobe and lay besides him, she does so and he proceeds to rape her. because she was a virgin, her hymen breaks, and her red hood that was white, was thus stained red. before the rape, the girl kinda figured the jig was up and convinced the wolf to drink so
2025-06-02T16:39:37.695980+00:00CATNo. 723to drink her grandmothers wine
2025-06-02T16:40:56.062955+00:00CATNo. 724he was drunk and was thus in a deep sleep, she used this time to escape only with her red hood and she encountered a woman washing some clothing a river.
2025-06-02T16:41:57.569658+00:00CATNo. 725she told the woman of her story and the woman lets her use the raft she uses to travel upstream
2025-06-02T16:43:35.031453+00:00CATNo. 726 the wolf arrives, but the clever woman placed some cloth now floating the water, the wolf threatens to kill the woman unless she tells her where the girl is, and the woman says that under the cloth, there is a raft in which he can use to catch up to the girl, the wolf gets tangled in the cloth and drowns
2025-06-02T16:45:26.840762+00:00CATNo. 727In the original rapunzel story, she was met by the man who climbed her hair, and they have sex, but because she was a young girl, she didn't understand when her belly swelled up, when she got pregnant
2025-06-02T16:46:23.234475+00:00CATNo. 728You also have the story from the first edition of grimms fairy tales, Wie Kinder Schlachtens miteinander gespielt haben
2025-06-02T16:46:38.035971+00:00CATNo. 729How children played slaughtering together
2025-06-02T16:47:49.657066+00:00CATNo. 730These fairy tales, they where not told at bedtime to children, they where told by the working class to pass time, by woman tending to the house to other adults
2025-06-02T16:48:39.772480+00:00CATNo. 731folk tales passed on by word of mouth, by familys per generation, by country, by nation
2025-06-02T16:48:50.038086+00:00CATNo. 732especially spread by travelers
2025-06-02T16:50:20.139832+00:00CATNo. 733>>729 TLDR, uh they kill to say the least
2025-06-02T16:50:58.751636+00:00CATNo. 734>>722 she was a virgin and a 13 year old child, in some stories younger
2025-06-02T16:51:36.620020+00:00CATNo. 735also in other stories the wolf was already drunk off his ass, which is why he gets the funny idea to cross dress
2025-06-02T16:54:50.960775+00:00CATNo. 736There's more fucked up shit in the first edition of grimms, in the later edition they censored the stories themselves dispite having no reason to, and selling the books to other adults and not children
2025-06-02T16:55:06.342540+00:00CATNo. 737most likely because they where greedy and wanted more money
2025-06-02T16:55:25.350540+00:00CATNo. 738to spread the books out to a wider audience
2025-06-02T17:47:23.224226+00:00CATNo. 739i ain't bitching about folktale either, it's really fun
2025-06-02T17:47:57.686809+00:00CATNo. 740it's interesting to find the originals, and take a closer look at the stories
2025-06-02T17:49:42.734722+00:00CATNo. 741i think personally it's not moralistic, per se, but instead kind of subconsious writings, to take a look at the people of the era, maybe a form of venting but who knows, it meant something to the people that wrote them
2025-06-02T20:06:51.093829+00:00CATNo. 742i'm now thinking of the leaked mythological pokemon stories
2025-06-02T20:07:04.131860+00:00CATNo. 743and the manga good night punpun
2025-06-02T20:08:30.759186+00:00CATNo. 744something that comes to mind is psychological transference, like how the trauma of an adult character would leak to a child and then thus fuck him up real bad, and how later that would be projected to other characters
2025-06-02T20:09:33.944356+00:00CATNo. 745like when punpun was raped by his aunt, and then punpun tried raping a girl
2025-06-02T20:14:06.360082+00:00CATNo. 746>>729 it is also a moralistic story, in a sense. the question of one of the stories is: when is a child able to make rational decisions and therefore be held responsible for its actions?
2025-06-02T20:17:33.840604+00:00CATNo. 747>>699 also in christianity, and judaism there is an innate darkness
2025-06-02T20:19:38.034403+00:00CATNo. 748Psalms 137:9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock
2025-06-02T20:21:15.449090+00:00CATNo. 749You have the aftermath of the noah story in which his daughters get him drunk and sleep with him
2025-06-02T20:21:35.564420+00:00CATNo. 750Job, and the attempted sacrifice of his son
2025-06-02T20:23:34.762899+00:00CATNo. 751the death of the firstborns in egypt as punishment to them for holding the jews hostage, besides the fact that babies are innocent
2025-06-02T20:30:46.625442+00:00CATNo. 752not trying to be a negative nancy here, its just interesting
2025-06-02T20:34:10.950943+00:00CATNo. 753people are like super shocked at stuff like this dispite it being obvious, my mother as an example was rereading the bible, dispite being a practicing catholic for ages and had just somehow realised that the bible could be dark or that strange "demonic" beings or practices where mentioned, like how the fuck would you seriously not know that the seraphim are in the bible?
2025-06-02T20:35:02.484568+00:00CATNo. 754people are like rediscovering old stories like peter pan, and realising that its totally not like the disney movies
2025-06-02T20:40:28.452192+00:00CATNo. 755The actual works of J.M. Barrie are a hell of a lot darker and interesting then the disney movie. Peter pan is a darkly supernatural entity with a strange fixation on control. Hell its in the name, Peter PAN like Pan, the pagan entity. He who leads with the flute, pandemonium
2025-06-02T21:05:24.409266+00:00CATNo. 756speaking of pan, The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen is really fucking good
2025-06-02T21:57:04.936772+00:00CATNo. 757i hate my life

2025-06-03T03:26:24.249913+00:00CATNo. 769its probably some mental case that found 22chan instead
2025-06-03T03:27:01.223313+00:00CATNo. 770just look at the way he types
2025-06-03T03:46:49.514615+00:00CATNo. 771You're telling me I missed the schizoposting hours
2025-06-03T03:48:34.251648+00:00CATNo. 772I found some game named "wayward realms" being shilled and people calling it the next elder scrolls game.
2025-06-03T03:49:31.853067+00:00CATNo. 773I looked at the first result on youtube and they genuinely show some random gameplay footage running at 15 fps while reading from a huge list of promises about what the game is going to be lol
2025-06-03T03:52:20.354920+00:00CATNo. 774the cherry on top is that it's being praised for being procedurally generated... a fucking RPG LOL
2025-06-03T03:55:23.001905+00:00CATNo. 775They say that because its being lead by the two main guys from the elder scrolls arena and daggerfall dev team it's going to be an automatic success...
2025-06-03T04:46:46.912759+00:00CATNo. 776>>771 Damn those are the best hours
