  • As someone who used to work with creating DLC codes for code-in-box pack-ins, I’m SHOCKED this doesn’t happen more often. Sometimes it’s as simple as a checkbox in a submenu in a submenu of the submission information of a title not matching a different checkbox, especially when you start adding in combos of ‘deluxe editions’.

    They’re not really being “generous” by allowing people who already redeemed the code to keep it, it’s just WAY too much of a hassle to remove and re-do those codes for specific people. It’s much easier to just nuke ALL the codes and send out new ones.



  • Oh no, I believe in a deity, I just believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving being that created the universe. Have you heard the goodness of his noodliness? Forever and ever, r-amen.

    Because if you can see how ridiculous that argument is, you can see how ridiculous I think yours is too. English is my first language and I grew up in the church. That’s why I don’t care about your ‘arguments’. I’ve heard them before. I’ve used them before. Then I grew up and learned better.

    You’re correct that you cannot prove a negative, which is why the burden of proof is on someone making a claim. You claim there is a god, but cannot prove the existence of him, so I have no burden to believe you just like you have no burden to believe me when I claim there’s an all-powerful coalescent ball of spaghetti that controls the universe. “Just assume it’s true and then marvel at how cool and strange things would be” isn’t actually a persuasive argument.

    Jesus was a cool guy, but lots of people are killed for standing up for what they believe in. We don’t make religions out of them, though.–


  • You argued both sides of “jesus is god” and came to the same conclusion. You realize that’s an argument against God, right? If the story works without him being “divine”, there’s no reason to assume he was.

    Also, like I mentioned in the other comment, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of the situation and only ordered the crucifixion because the crowd demanded it. You can question “how could they think that”, and argue that it’s “really quite a narrow range of people”, but the story is still that there were enough of them to demand the crucifixion of Jesus, and succeeded soo… What’s your argument here?
