You followed me all the way to my Bio? Well... Now we must drop it.

I can imagine some people I know claiming I'm not Hufflepuff for being 'cruel, cold and/or uncaring'.
But those are cases where people confuse honesty with hatred. Most people prefer to sugar coat what they say, while I respect the person enough to tell something to them straight.

In other words, if you see Hufflepuff as more of the "Bubbly, Grinny, Poppies and Roses. Let's do everything with a smile", I'm not a hufflepuff by a long shot. But if you see them more as "Kind, caring, wants everyone to get along", I'd say that I fall under that house.
My Gaming PC has specs that lets me play about every game on max settings, even with high quality texture mods.

DA Inquisition though? I had to set that shit down to Medium just to avoid a shitty frame rate. :P
The graphics are just stunning... even if every character's hair looks like they're from a Greaser gang.

Also, this game is damn long.
I definitely can't marathon this like I planned to.

I remember when I was racist.5th grade was a terrible time.


I remember when I was sexist in the 7th-8th grade.
I was awfully silly back then.

NETFLIX ON MOTORCYCLES!!!
I don't remember the motto's they had exactly.
But I remembered feeling like a mix of hufflepuff wanting everyone to get along, and gryffindors loyalty.

I was tempted to throw in Ravenclaw intelligence, but they're meant to be majority book smart which is perhaps my worst area of intelligence.

Atheists aren't usually organized well enough to form an organization like a "church" unless they're truly dedicated, BUUUUUT, in theory if they did, the organization would look like this: An atheistic organization that claims to believe that whatever problem of the day is somehow caused by religion, and would picket funerals of victims of tragedies and various religious authorities. They'd hold signs stating things like "Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings".Going more up the scale of violence, you'd get an organization which attempts to censor out any religious speech and execute the religious as dissidents. It would likely resemble the State from the Twilight Zone episode "The Obselete Man". Stalinists would be a real-life example of this line of thinking. It wasn't the only thing they wanted to do, but it was one of their plans to eliminate religion, by very brutal force if necessary.


So for the most part this is a hypothetical?

I will agree that Stalinist are close to this example, but the key difference would be motivation. Your example suggests it's done out of pure hatred for religion, while stalinists/communists did it out of blind loyalty (or fear) to Stalin and to expand political authority and obedience.
I'm going to keeping my eye on this thread especially today, cause I REALLY want to see if I can grab the game now.
But I don't want to rush to it if it really is a let down and/or has these bug issues like Robeatic's is facing.

Richard Dawkins is a bit of a milder example of what I'm talking about when I say that Atheists (of a certain stripe, namely those that believe religion is harmful outside of just being incorrect) tend to fall into the same traps as Religious "Fundamentalists" (technically not a correct usage of the term. But religious extremists of varying levels of aggressiveness). He's not the Atheist Westburo (He has yet to picket a funeral, for example), though he comes pretty close to what they would sound like in theory.


What exactly would you consider as an example of an extreme atheist/atheist westboro then?
I've only ever seen the movies.
But I find there's elements with both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff that I relate to.
