Hello everyone I found this website open on my son's computer so I thought I'd speak my mind.



First, a little background.



My son is (was) an avid player of football. Our family is big on sports. My husband, Butch, was in the UNGL and played football there for a few years until his back was ruptured. We're also a Christian family. We accept Jesus avidly. We even have a statue of him in our living room next to the football stand.



My son (Olaf), never played video games before this summer. He was a good student, with a 2.0 GPA, and played football like crazy. We went to every game. We decided to buy a liptop for him for his birthday in june.



One day we were watching the television, when an advertisement came on during a basketball game. It was for this Star craft 2 video game. My son was obviously interested, and went on this Blazzard website. I told him video games rot your head, and that was that.



But two months later I came home and found him alone in his room with the door locked. There was some repetive noise coming from inside, so I asked "Olaf what are you doing in there?", and barged into his room. To my horror he was sitting naked playing Star craft 2. I knew at that moment the devil was present, so I prayed.



When his father came home we had a talk. We agreed he wouldn't play any more Star craft 2 because it disagreed with Jesus. I decided to put a hidden camera in his bedroom.



Two days later I watched the footage, and was shocked. He sat in his room with his liptop and Star craft 2 on it. There was a man called ticcus I believe, and Olaf was talking to him. They drank whiskey together and smoked cigars. This Star craft 2 was making my son a criminal.



An hour later he was talking to some man on a micophone with his liptop over the internet web. I heard them mention something about a zorg rush. It sounded like a sexual thing. I think the man was a homosexual demon, and was poisoning my poor Olaf.



Enough was enough, and I showed the tape to my husband. Butch got all angry like and started beating Olaf, and told him not to be a gay man. He broke his nose. I thought that was the end of that.



But I was wrong. A week later, he invited a girl over when we wearnt home to show her a Star craft 2 zorg rush I think. I found them having naughty on the sofa. Star craft 2 has brought the devil into our house, I knew.



That night I called the Dr Chambers Society for the Christians, I saw on a Dr Phil. I told him my son was doing a zorg rush with a girl, and we thought he was becoming gay. The person said they would try their best to make him a straight Jesus man again, so we sent him away to the camp, telling him it was college.



Today I got a phone call and apparently my son had tried to hang himself. I went to the hospital, and he had his liptop. I was so sad I stoled it from him and this is what i found Star craft 2 blazzard websit on the internet web on his liptip screen.



I am so angry I am appearing on Fox news with the wonderuful casters there about the violence in video games and their effects on Jesus. On September 26 at 7:30 PM.



This is a sword of warning to all mothers out there who care about their sons. Thsi game would really destroy their lives if oyu don't stop letting them not trying to not let them play it.



Sincerely, Maggie Joe Beth

I lol'd, a LOT. :D I don't if that's fake, but it's hell funny. :D

Best part:
I told him my son was doing a zorg rush with a girl, and we thought he was becoming gay.

This is absurd. You cant be turned from a non-gamer to a complete addict just like that.

That Christian forum was quite funny to read. Not that I'm against them or anything, but these guys need to look at things from many other perspectives. Not only from that narrow, all-bad-perspective.
Ah, feels good to rant a bit.:thup:

@13lade619 True, true. SC2's been out for few weeks now and he's already got over 1000 wins as Terran? No way he could have done that as a non-gamer.

Also, has the thread been removed? I can't access it.

Probably too many people reported it as trolling. :p

Err..
The Landover Baptist Church is a fictional[1] Baptist church based in the fictional town of Freehold, Iowa. The Landover Baptist web site and its associated Landoverbaptist.net Forum are a parody of fundamentalist Christianity and the Religious Right in the United States.

If she hadn't bought him that damned 'liptop', he wouldn't have been able to play Starcraft 2. Blame her. :p

This is quite amusing to read. I too, doubt it's real.

I wonder if they have anything to say about the Quirino grandstand hostage taking..I can't really be bothered digging through so much hate.

I would just follow the old saying: "Ignorance is bliss."

It's best not to know more. ;)

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
