Well, actually, you were needlessly angry about an extremely minor terminology difference (I call it an X too, but who the fuck cares?). Seems like you were the spergy nerd here.
I'm actually not very religious. I don't very well care about Christians. It was just a joke. I wonder why your initial reaction was that I was some sort of zealot instead of thinking it was a joke. Calling Dr. Freud!
Oh man if you'd have just mentioned John Stamos from the start I wouldn't have gotten nearly as hateful and vitriolic. We should ALL pray for John Stamos, for he holds the Fountain of Youth. And he's a babe.
Very Ken M-esque. Turns out the average reddit user isn't much better at recognizing when someone's fucking with them than the average Yahoo News commenter.
Am i the only one who recognises the buttons by their actions? Like how X is jump, □ is the main action button, the triangle is switch and the circle is the secondary action button, usually crouch.
That seems to be a more intellectual way to go about it. I'm more like a trained chimp. Tell me what to do and I will mimic the correct reaction with limited success.
Probably why I can't play with any degree of achievement online.
Interesting note: PlayStation games in Japan often use the 'O' button for 'Yes/Confirm' and the 'X' button for 'No/Cancel', opposite of how they are in Western gaming.
Staunch supporters? Sony officially calls its a cross. Now, since you continue to call it the "letter X" I must point out that short of some stylistic typefaces, the letter X is not equiangular like the Playstation cross button. Please take note of the differences between Playstation, Nintendo and XBOX controllers. The latter in fact use an "X". You appear to have some misplaced religion related offence to the name of a symbol. I can't help with that. I can only suggest you educate yourself on the evolution of symbols and how the latin cross came into popularity over similar symbols designed during the same period.

Same here. My first PlayStation was a PS4 but I remember the first time a game said "press cross" spelled out, I spent spent several minutes trying to figure what the fuck I was supposed to do.

Your condescending, contradictory bullshit isn't attractive to anyone except your frothing, basement-dwelling, virgin army.

I think it's more a reflection on you that I was angry. I was pretty jovial. Just making a good dad joke.

Who the fuck talks about jesus saving people except for zealots?
n/a GhostofHowardTV 2017-04-09
CNN, Family Guy, South Park, Mel Brooks, History Channel. Top 5 off the head.

CNN has finding Jesus, a historical search that looks for fact, fiction, and fraud in the bible and religion.
Family Guy has a number of side flashes that refer to Jesus in whacky situations.
South Park treats Jesus as a superhero with the idea that it was all real.
Mel Brooks - well look up his filmography - I shouldn't have to do all the work for you.
History Channel has tons of programming around Jesus history vs theology.
On the opposite end of the spectrum you have films like Ben Hur and Barabas which uphold the canon, but I didn't mean my statement in that manner.
You're going to try to debunk everything I've said and I don't have all day to prove to you I'm not religious.
n/a SuchSpookySkeltal 2017-04-09
no, I'm just gonna laugh at you for actually taking the time to write all that out

Took me 30 seconds while I prayed to my lord and savior John Stamos to have mercy on your peanut.

Hose the troll? I would think the people arguing with him, but the number of downvotes he got suggests playstation fans are just that autistic.

It sounds weird but you'll get used to it in no time

Here's the thing. You said, "a cross is an X."

I would hate to see him when he's getting long winded and pretentious and punching over his intellectual weight level.
