2 out of the 764 people who live there. I wanna see an investigation drama where they try to narrow it down.

Oops, they only managed to uncover systematic sex abuse. Better luck next time, dang it.

Considering the Catholic Church banned chess and excommunicated several priests who were caught playing it, I’d believe it. But of course, kiddy diddling is just fine.
Rebellious priests invented the folding chess set because of the ban actually.

Obviously. You can’t really expect the pope to play solo. Know the true question is, who did he romance first? My money is on Karlak.
Lumisal@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nah, shadowheart. You know the Catholic Church likes converting people.

Gotta find the user name “el_papa” or “big Poppa pope”, track him down. I wanna play call of duty with him

This raises a more interesting question. How many copies of DOOM have been sold in the Vatican?
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’d assume there’d be at least someone there who’s job it is to “research” things to see if they’re to be banned or not.

Believe it or not, the Catholic Church is far less into the “Satanic Panic” idea that anything that mentions magic and stuff is evil and should be avoided than most Protestant Christian churches, especially the Evangelicals. Pretty much the only thing they consider sinful outright in the media is porn, otherwise you’re just advised to avoid stuff that influences you to commit other sins. This includes things like Baldur’s Gate 3. If it’s not influencing you to sin, it’s not a sin to play. Same with Harry Potter and other stuff like that. It’s just some extreme folks in the Church, influenced by the Evangelicals, who push the Satanic Panic farther than the Church officially teaches and give the Church a bad name in that regard. Lots of priests are sci-fi/fantasy/gamer nerds, and Tolkien (author of Lord of the Rings) was a faithful practicing Catholic.

Speaking of satanic panic, the biggest irony are those that denounce stuff like the Diablo or Doom series. You know, games were the player’s job is to literally destroy the forces of actual hell. Maybe killing demons with swords and shotguns is sinful?

But how many loli porn game ? Someone ask Valve to release the numbers…
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Zero. Because they don’t need a fake substitute.

Reference mateiral for when they release a BG3-style RPG starring Luce and friends.

I’m more surprised that it even got offered there. There’s some legal hurdles to clear for selling in a new country, and I guess, one of their distribution platforms decided it was worth it.
I guess, the Vatican might not have a ton of laws, though…
Damage@feddit.it 5 months ago
The Vatican is essentially Italy, except when it goes against their interests
Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Interesting. I almost guessed that variant, too, but figured it would be a bit too wild for a country to auto-adopt most laws that another country implements. 🙃

No, dad, I need to kill Raphael!
CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.
Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I wonder if North Korea has some copies 👀
ICastFist@programming.dev 5 months ago
Pirated ones, probably, though I doubt anyone other than the dear leader is allowed to play, because “western propaganda”. Not like you’d have many people in there with a good PC anyway. Or even electricity.
Grangle1@lemm.ee 5 months ago
It would probably also have to run on Red Star OS. It runs well enough on Linux with Proton, but would they have Proton?
Venicon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not surprising, it’s another place based in high fantasy

quality burn
Though I would still like to go. That architecture looks fantastic.

The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

I would love a peek inside the forbidden archives.
