I don't really understand. These are sacred stories of Hindu mythology and culture. The imagery may be graphic just like the image of Indra slaying Vritra. But it's also graphic to shoot someone in the back of their heel with an arrow, or to battle a sea serpent with a spear/sword/hammer, or decapitating Hydras, putting the head of a Gorgon on your shield, etc... these are all sacred stories and images of our cultures.

It's also not the front page of the JoS.

Well it's a good thing it's not, that was my point.
Just seemed a bit fishy to me having it as a signature picture even if it's supposedly symbolic of something else, as it's very graphic as you said, and not something I associate with spiritual advancement or peace of mind. The guy admitted to trolling also but I'm not really sure in what way, and now he's about to leave. I would just advice to change/remove that particular image, but I'm certainly not a mod here. It's just the opinion of mine.

I'm not concerned with him nor defending him. If I'm defending anyone here then it's Kali. It didn't make sense to me, and I assumed possible ignorance on your part which is why I took the time to try to explain regarding the picture. If goblock is an enemy then there are also much better angles to attack from rather than attacking our own cultures.

I sort of understand where you're coming from, although taking this approach towards a troll is probably going to have them laughing at you.

Ok well I did not attack, just expressed my opinion, and if that's something to laugh about then go ahead :p

Just keep in mind that this user Goblock has admitted to trolling JoS and other attempts to waste time and energy of genuine Zevism.

There is a limit to the amount of attention that should be given to someone who abuses this very thing.

yeah i said i troll for fun sometimes ask legit questions other times i dont know how often i have to say this

You have an imbalance here.

You say you are trolling but halfway on your road you ask legit questions.

Be more specific on this apth as you either troll, or ask legit questions and evolve.

The rest about you isn't at all necessary to be discussed about you as it will only waste time and space on the server.
 
You are right, it's my subjective opinion, there are games that are pieces of art that should be respected.
Cough cough Hideo Kojima :p

What are your favorite ones?
Here my favorite:

Click me!


1 click = 1 play

Enjoy! :D

Good but is that all you do in your life? You can also go out once in awhile and that is my point as if you dont you will lose touch with the world and even playing a game with a friend can help you go out to others. JoS lifestyle can be a bit isolated and you still need to live aswell. Enjoyment but a few shades more im terms of work?

Nice game you have here :D

Interesting!

But, there are other good games like the ones I have posted in this topic, or even games that are logically designed to train your memory and exercise your brain and they are very good.

Games like online puzzles or something :idea:

Way back when I was in a dark place I played a certain game and those kinds of games helped keep my mind sharp. It really can be good but it cant be all. I hope folk know what I mean.
 
Ahhh old games. I remember first thing I did when i got new game was to check if it had map editor or some modding tools. I enjoyed creating stuff more than actually playing game. Warcraft 3 TFT modding was best, I was high on life as hell back then. Only limitation was computing power :lol:

Not many games nowdays support easy modding and stuff like that. Back in the old days you had expansion packs and not this "DLC" crap you have now. And with all of this game devs started removing modding support cause it made their DLC marketing look like shit. Hell even Blizzard made ToS for Starcraft 2 claiming that all maps you make belong only to them... What a fcking joke really.

And yea games nowadays are recycled crap. Only good games right now that make you use brain and creativity are basically Kenshi and Dwarf Fortress (Which are not popular because they're too "difficult" for average intelligence person :lol: ). RPGs like Pillars of Eternity and upcoming Baldurs Gate 3 are good too if youre into good story.
 
At least somewhat related to the topic, here is an old game I made from scratch in Director:

https://odysee.com/@xlnt666:7/janne_in_wonderland:c

It's called "Janne In Wonderland" and was made as a multimedia school project in 2002.

Too bad Director does not exist anymore since it was discontinued by Adobe in 2017. Had fun with that program.
