Adding that to the Watch later pile, thank you

That they fell and now they can't get up again, maybe?

Hmm...IDK, Chris was yelling at those things in the movie pretty hard and all it got her was pain. Maybe if Jesus or an Exorcist was the one going "I cast you out", then it'll work...

I loved how detailed this answer is, thank you!

So less "intentionally terrorizing those around the possessed" and more "causing the possessed to suffer physically/mentally"? I'm sensing the pattern that Demons tend to love aping or causing mental illnesses/strange behaviors based on this and other comments. Or well, the animalistic behavior could also be the person's reaction to having an entity taking him/her over, maybe trying to get it to leave? But...then again, that could also be that thing probably being ecstatic to have a body to move around in, who knows.

Hmm...so the main targets of possessions would be the Faithful, whereas skeptics and those who don't follow the Teachings of Christ would be...safe, i guess is the word? They wouldn't be singled out, for sure.

I imagined they were subtle regardless of it being today or back in the days of Jesus since being bombastic or OTT would likely unnerve people and draw them back towards God...or, well, I know I'd go back to mass if a demon started raving to me like Pazuzu does in The Exorcist lol

Thanks for the rec, I'll check him out later

So our picks are either what the translator's interpretation of a demon was or from outside sources that may or may not be entirely canonical (if at all) to the bible? Huh...i imagined the church would have wanted the faithful to know the enemy a bit more. Wonder why they were hardly mentioned (I mean zero disrespect by this by the way. I may not be Christian, but i respect the faith).

Interesting regardless, and answers why some link possession and mental illness together in media (and i assume IRL)

Did you enable Proton in your account settings? If not, you're only going to be able to play native Steam games (which are both meh, and are at the mercy of how much the devs maintained it, or are incomplete like the Binding of Isaac one not having an Afterbirth DLC linux version so without Proton, you wouldn't be able to access it).

If you haven't and are still on Linux, go to your account, find the compatability tab, and check "Enable Steam Play for all titles". Steam will ask to restart, and after a restart, you'll be good

Edit: ah, i believe you hadn't enabled Proton. Yeah, i can see why you'd have the misconception that Linux sucks for gaming (well, if you ONLY play certain multiplayer games and don't branch out to others, yeah you might have a rough time).

A lotta distros don't even work with Steam

Having been a chronic distrohopper since I joined Linux a couple of years ago, this is wrong. I've had some hiccups with Steam, yeah, but that was more the version of Steam I installed (Flatpak. Learned right quick to just install what was on the repos) and it didn't not outright work on any of the distros I used: be they Fedora, Ubuntu-based, Arch-based, or OpenSUSE. Steam's always worked

I don't think a single Bethesda Release works on Linux

They do. I regularly play and mod Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas, and Skyrim and can play as well as one does on Windows. It's not limited to those either: Doom, Evil Within, Ghostwire, Rage...all those work with very little configuration (which honestly is just personal prefrences on my part. They'll still work by enabling Proton in the Steam settings, and in the game properties if you wanna be extra sure or are using a GE version of Proton). Starfield also works. So it's not just oldies either.

No Fromsoftware...Lies of P doesn't.

Except I play Souls and Souls-likes all the time, and I'm currently playing Lies of P with no problems on Linux. If anything I had more problems with when i tried playing a Soulsborn on Windows. Elden Ring stuttered like crazy on Windows, but i had next to zero problem playing on my Arch install, even playing Multiplayer.

The other games you mentioned are also playable on Linux. Don't know who told you they don't but 90% of Steam works on Limux and Steam Deck. Just go to account settings and in compatibility, check "Enable Steam Play for all titles" and restart Steam. Otherwise, you get ONLY games with a native Linux version (which are...hit or miss at times). The only games you'd actually have trouble running on Linux would be ones that were given a hard "we're not supporting Linux" like Fortnite and those with heavy Anti-Cheats like Rainbow 6 Seige, Black Desert, or Valorant (and even those are getting Linux compatability: Dead By Daylight works now, Master Cheif collection apparantly works now, but I haven't played it in a while to check, Apex has worked for a while, etc)

Man was clearly doing a quest for Sheogorath lol

In MY bag? Nothing really comes to mind. In someone elses bag tho?

It's been years and I still remember the guy that carried around a gym bag with wheels of cheese in em in my community college. Dunno if he was selling, but i was always kinda wanted one NGL

Didn't ask for it...but at the same time, actually existing beats not existing IMO. And since I (and by extension, you and anyone else) exist in an uncaring universe, I am free to live life as I please--within reason--so all things considered it's...actually not bad at all. Yeah there's sucky parts to it, but most things that are worth it have bumps in the road.

They seem to be doing UI changes to the website.

Currently the non-ARM version of the ISO is in the main page (https://endeavouros.com/) just scroll down and you'll find the mirror list of the most recent ISO by country. Dunno why it's there NGL shrug

I can only speak to my expierence with Manjaro, and it was....not good. It pretty much found a way to uniquely break itself every boot from me...just treating it like I would Arch (i didn't find out how you're maybe supposed to use it till later, when i moved on to another distro). And in every Manjaro post or comment, there's several anecdotes that are similiar to mine: somehow, someway, Manjaro freaked out and died...and then there's a couple that are like yours: "I've used it for several years with zero problems" and i gotta ask: how? Legit curious. Is "waiting 14 days to update + not using the AUR at all, if possible" sound advise or am I waaaay off the mark?

Pasting an old reply of mine from another thread answering this same question:

Manjaro is…tricky.

I’ve called it an Arch based distro that kinda sucks at being an Arch based distro before, and I stand by that. You can’t treat Manjaro like you would EndeavourOS or Vanilla Arch Linux because of how Manjaro decides to do things: essentially, updates are held back by a couple of weeks for better and worse instead of being released as they’re made avaliable. While that means it can catch disastrous things like the GRUB issue another user pointed out (Manjaro was unaffected by it IIRC), it also means the system is prone to breaking itself more often. And you can forget about using the AUR if you’re using Manjaro–or well, you can, but the AUR and Manjaro are nortorious for not playing nice with one another because of the latter’s tendencies to hold back packages, which, natrually, leads to even more breaking.

Personally, I wouldn’t recomend it. However, If you don’t mind being extra careful with what you install (really that’s standard practice for any distro, but hey, I’ve never found a WIP package that messed up my system anywhere other than when using Manjaro, so make of that what you will), are willing to tolerate constant mild to severe breakage, and just using Flatpaks and appimages over the AUR, then give Manjaro a try, but otherwise? Go with EndeavourOS, or Garuda, or literally anything else.

I also do this, partly outta habit and partly to hear the sounds my mechanical keyboard makes when typing lol

Anyways, I'd say you're golden if you wanna give Endeavour a shot then

Yet another "Time to reccomend EndeavourOS" reply.

Seriously tho, EndeavourOS is a pretty solid distro, and not that different from what you're currently rocking (Manjaro is based on Arch) except well...it actually works as an Arch based distro should, unlike Manjaro. EndeavourOS's a bit on the light side tho, and it comes with no GUI Add/Remove Software outta the box, but if you don't like using the Konsole for that, nothing a "yay pamac-all" (or "yay pamac-all-no-snap") and a bit of installing the packages you want/need can't fix.

Go for it.

I mean, it's Epic. I doubt they were thinking

Depends. Do the people around you or your friends/family heavily use WhatsApp to stay in touch (Like, to the point of if you don't have and use the thing, you've basically got no way to contact people)? If yes, well, I wouldn't go as far as to call you stupid, but you did probably make your life harder for yourself unless you're a hermit.

Sometimes ya just gotta bite the bullet and understand that absolutes aren't possible. Or, they are possible, but they're more impractical than they're worth

Dare I ask why not?
