I received the following text / email.
Not sure if it's technically legitimate.
Clicking on the link sent me to a third party program without any forewarning. That was deceitful. I am a man of honesty and I prefer honesty and integrity above all earthly things, that I am currently aware of. Being the old military man that I am, I am aware of a lot more, then I can ever be happy with. Joy is fleeting peace is non-existent etc. It confirms Ecclesiastes. Under much knowledge is much sorrow. And with that sorrow becomes responsibility. Because if you know to do right and don't do, it is sin. And I must do and I must say and I must act even if the whole world is against me and has absolutely no clue of to what I am speaking.
I use a speech to text program and it may have errors. I expect common sense to dictate with holy and godly discernment. Anything less is failure.
I have no idea what I may have said in the beginning as fact. However I will iterate what I do now that is on topic of gaming and Christian gaming specifically.
I have been a gamer since I got my first Nintendo. Since Nintendo was first released.
A hardcore collector gamer at that. I have more games than most game stores. Moving on.
When I was in high school they taught us how to code pong. As well as write other codes for different games.
At the time of that learning there was some decent games that people created like snake and turtle and various other pong-like games. I was working on something greater and they told me that the coding at that time was not capable of doing what I wanted to do that it must remain basic. Unfortunate. I'd be a multi-millionaire by now if I would have done it myself. I had school work to attend to. I had to be respectful and obedient of instructions to the people I lived with and to the school. That came first.
I know creating a decent game takes a lot of work, diligence, eye for detail, prudence, foreknowledge etc. There's hardly any decent games out there anymore.
I know making a Christian game is even more difficult, almost exponentially because you have to deal with ignorant ungodly people who willfully want to do harm and call it something else.
I remember a game that I played on the Nintendo that had a repetitive song throughout. Jesus saves, despite the redundancy of that song I did enjoy the game and wish I still had it. I don't remember the name of that game.
I know there was a card game that was a Christian card game called redemption I think and I thoroughly enjoyed that as well. I liked reading the cards and I like playing the game and even my own house rules made it more biblically accurate and immersive.
The guy that made the original set of those cards sent me a box of them, like a starter box and a couple other little packets.
Upon receiving the package I reverted into like being a kid, possibly elementary kid mentality. I hugged the box like a puppy dog because my emotions were the same as such. To do anything less would be deceitful and dishonest. I did it so naturally that when I caught myself and felt myself smile that much I saw the reflection in my mind's eye and then I laughed at myself and smiled at myself again for that wholesome moment.
That is what I know.
At least about what I may have shared concerning this topic.
There is no more.
Here is the email, / text that I received:
