[01:40] IsambardPrince It makes them even poorer. [01:41] IsambardPrince You take a poor person, they give 10% to the church, they're really really poor now. [01:41] MinceR it made some people richer, though [01:41] IsambardPrince My mom can't afford to pay off her credit cards. [01:41] IsambardPrince But she can afford to give the church 10% of her income.

[01:49] IsambardPrince Just for a minute. [01:49] MinceR :> [01:49] IsambardPrince My parents took my grandfather who was dying of cancer to see him. [01:50] IsambardPrince They claim that he laid hands on my grandfather and the cancer was gone. [01:50] IsambardPrince Then he died of cancer 3.5 years later. [01:50] MinceR lol [01:50] IsambardPrince Well, I didn't think it was funny that my grandfather died. [01:50] IsambardPrince But my parents are idiots. [01:50] MinceR do they still think the cancer was gone? [01:51] IsambardPrince Yes [01:51] IsambardPrince I asked them "Then why did he die of cancer shortly thereafter." [01:52] IsambardPrince And my mother said something like "Well, God decided that he had a purpose on the Earth for a few more years. We don't always know why God does what he does." [01:52] MinceR predictable [01:52] IsambardPrince I said "It seems to me that if there is a God, he's like a kid burning all the ants with a magnifying glass and laughing about it." [01:53] MinceR :> [01:53] IsambardPrince MinceR, Someone who is being sued by American Express asked if they should just deny the debt in court to buy time. [01:54] IsambardPrince I said, "You won't buy time, but you might piss off a judge." [01:54] IsambardPrince God. [01:54] IsambardPrince Who are these people? [01:54] MinceR devil apes [01:54] MinceR also known as humans [01:54] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Super Shotgun in Doom II was underrated. [01:55] IsambardPrince Especially on Ultra Violence and Nightmare. [01:55] IsambardPrince The wider field of effect is great for dealing with those doors that open and unleash a bunch of imps or zombiemen. [01:56] MinceR :> [01:56] IsambardPrince The chaingun is probably my second favorite but it goes through ammunition very fast. The bullets don't individually do much damage, but there's a lot of them and that increases the pain chance. [01:57] IsambardPrince So that's good for dealing with demons where you can disrupt their attack moves. ● Feb 23 [02:00] IsambardPrince I ran into two Archviles at once in the Suburbs level.
