Do you think the mandeans invented this entity?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamashtu

It’s a Sumerian god/demon that got incorporated into talmudic judaism during their Babylonian exile

Gnosticism is an offshoot of proto-judaism/christianity

Everyone discussing Lilith is discussing the "first wife of Adam," not a screech owl, so it's correct to say that person is not part of the Bible.

Ok that’s cool but it doesn’t change the fact that (a) Lilith appears in the Bible, which is an important fact to consider in the conversation about the Bible and Lilith…

Lilith is a talmudic/kabbalistic demon lol, nothing to do with gnosticism

And the word does appear in the Bible but gets translated “screech-owl”, though not in reference to any “first wife of Adam” nonsense

“racist backlash” should be in air quotes too - the vast, vast majority of people were saying things like “wow the writers sure wasted that character’s potential” or “wow I was sure he was going to become a Jedi wtf happened” or “wow that subplot with him and the asian girl sure was pointless”…

“Niggers can’t be stormtroopers” was like….0.000000001% of the discussion, and those were probably the Chinese as we’d go on to learn

I’m sure there are plenty of people from your age group who still say “wassap” or “what’s crack-a-lackin” or “Ayo boyz” or whatever other retarded shit was popular when you were a kid.

“YouTube videos in my feed are made for kids” doesn’t even begin to approach proof for your claim that kids today are somehow uniquely retarded.

“When I was a middle schooler we did cringey shit”

“All middle schoolers do cringey shit”

It’s even crazier than that - Bally Williams owned Midway, and spun themselves off into WMS who made pinball and gambling machines and Midway Games who made the Mortal Kombats and a fair few other video games (Ed Boon programmed a few pinball machines even, back in the day before they spun off and he went with Midway).

Midway Games went “bankrupt” and got bought by Warner Bros (which is why they publish MK these days), whereas WMS and Bally got bought by another gambling machine company. Dunno if they still sell anything under those labels but the company that bought them is still around

Love how the lightbulbs make specific parts glow.

The lonely light coming from the diver’s boat… it’s amazing how using just some table art and a back glass the designers could create the feeling of seeing into another world - but yeah the way the lights are used is very unique, kinda reminds me stained glass windows. Lots of people who play virtual pinball on their computers set it up so that a second monitor above the playfield acts like a real backglass, with simulated flashing lightbulbs and everything lol:

That’s gunna be one half of the inevitable music themed tournament I think - so even better you could play The Who’s Tommy Pinball Wizard : The Official Pinball lol

https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2579&picno=61121

The only question is what’s the other half

Interesting thread from the big pinball forum:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/art-inspired-from-other-works

While he never made art for any machines, you can tell that a few artists who did were being directly “inspired” (shall we say, lol) by his stuff.

Great recommendation

Gay jew obsessed with transhumanism strikes me as high on the “what are the odds this guys a lizard person”-scale, which isn’t even taking account of how he’s wormed his way into the halls of power in a manner which would make Roy Cohn or Henry Kissinger cream their pants.

What have you seen from him which leads you to extend so much benefit of the doubt that you’d trust him over Webb, who imo has displayed a legitimate moral fortitude and ethical backbone which for all intents and purposes doesn’t exist amongst public intellectuals/journalists, and hasn’t in decades, and especially that I’ve never seen coming from theil or anyone associated with him.

Or maybe you just didn’t treat them as political. 1/3 of the human companions were gay. The lesbian companion’s girlfriend is a key part of the DLC, the meta way to play is to pick the “give me gay dialogue” perk, and so on. If a game came out with those features today, many of the same people shitting their pants in this thread would be shitting their pants in their own threads on the subject

Lmfao

A purity spiral is a theory which argues for the existence of a form of groupthink in which it becomes more beneficial to hold certain views than to not hold them, and more extreme views are rewarded while expressing doubt, nuance, or moderation is punished.

Sounds like what happened back then, sounds like what you faggots are screaming for ITT
