    Skyrim

    I love Skyrim and have played it countless times in multiple styles. I pretty much always make my first character in any RPG a mage (preferably a necromancer or warlock type). My second character is typically a rogue/assassin. The price varies. I have an Oculus Quest 2 which is cheaper than...

    Polytheism is a form of atheism

    Sure. If you restrict the definition of god to an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being then you could claim that anybody who doesn't believe in that god is an atheist. I'm not entirely sure why you prefer that definition but you do you. Simply put, they don't share your view of what...

    Your First Video Game

    Either Street Fighter 2 or Killer Instinct. I was very young but I remember my dad borrowed a Super Nintendo from one of my aunts. We only had it for a short time and I didn't get a console of my own until years later. I'm reasonably sure my first proper console was a Sega Saturn but my memory...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Why? If the goal is to embrace the diversity of beliefs and to encourage tolerance then you've kind of fallen at the first hurdle here. Knowingly or not, you've divided religions into those that are worthy of consideration and those that aren't. I'm sure there's no actual malice on your part...

    Incredulity in the supernatural.

    I'm not a Christian and don't believe in an omnimax God. I'm not entirely sure of the best label for myself so I generally just say either Pagan or agnostic depending on the present company. I view nature as all-encompassing and so only use the word supernatural as shorthand for a broad range of...

    Have You Ever Experienced Anti-White Racism?

    Not personally, though I know that my parents and grandparents did. I grew up in Oldham which was fairly notorious for its interracial conflicts. The 2001 riots were perhaps the most extreme example of that tension finally boiling over. During that time my parents had slurs shouted at them...

    Humans Vs. Any Other Species

    If I had to choose between killing an ant and killing a human, I would kill the ant. I've accidentally trodden on snails plenty of times and while I always feel guilty about it, it doesn't traumatise me. I expect accidentally killing a human would cause some real trauma. This is coming from...

    What are the best and worst things about heaven?

    I don't claim to know much about what comes after death but there is one thing I'm pretty confident on: If I find myself facing eternity without my pets, I didn't make it to heaven.

    AI bot knows when you will die. Said to be uncannily accurate.

    It's all fun and games until the AI begins sending out predator drones to guarantee 100% accurate predictions.

    What makes something popular and what makes something obscure ?

    It isn't possible to cover every conceivable manner in which a thing might become popular. However, I think you can identify a few broad trends. As @PureX said, one of the major reasons that a thing becomes popular is due to it fulfilling a commonly held need or desire. Salty foods are...

    If someone devoted there life to hating other people what would that look like ?

    If we're talking about particularly extreme misanthropy then there are a few possibilities. The most likely outcome is that they isolate themselves as much as they can. Odds are good that they'll become severely depressed and anxious. They also may not have the necessary support networks to help...

    multiplayer games on PC?

    If you're looking for something cooperative that also gives you a chance to make new friends then MMOs are possibly the best bet. World of Warcraft is incredibly popular and you already know somebody who plays so it's definitely worth giving a try at least. I believe you can play for free up to...

    Any singles?Lonely for Christmas

    I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with loneliness. This can be a particularly rough time of year for that. I can't offer much advice other than to say that if you find yourself contemplating suicide, there are helplines available. It's worth reaching out if you feel particularly low and need...

    Poll: Who comes to mind the most when you think of Christmas?

    Of the two, it's definitely Santa. Probably because images of Santa are plastered everywhere throughout December. He just became a part of my immediate mental picture of Christmas alongside snow, reindeer and tinsel.

    Are you offended by someone contacting you using an ouija board?

    Not at all. How else am I supposed to possess a human body? Can't post on RF without physical form.

    how do you feel when threatened with Hell?

    I'm generally pretty live and let live when it comes to people's beliefs. Hell belief is one of the exceptions where I genuinely feel we'd be better off without it. It causes too much pain and justifies too much cruelty. Best to leave Hell in the realm of fiction and art in my opinion.

    how do you feel when threatened with Hell?

    I feel pity for them if they seem upset at the thought of me going to Hell. I feel contempt for them if they seem pleased by the thought.

    I Will Pray for You

    If somebody wants to pray for my general wellbeing then fair enough. I don't see it as being any different than wishing somebody luck. I think I've only ever had a couple of people pray for me in a passive aggressive way. I personally find it more amusing than irritating because it makes me...

    Texas - Terrible abortion law doing what Republicans said it wouldn't do

    I mostly agree with you on this. I tend to believe that most pro-lifers genuinely do want to save the lives of foetuses. Control of women's bodies is a means to an end rather than the motive in and of itself. That approach can absolutely manifest as a callous disregard for the lives of women...
