I mean, the validity of that depends on what culture term you subscribe to. Since I subscribe to the discursive culture term, I would argue that you're comparing one and the same thing - religion is a part of culture, that is, information you can discuss with others via symbols and language.

Extremely abrahamic view of religion, but somewhat accurately aligns with James Frazer's theory of culture.
To note are non-abrahamic religions practiced in cultures such as those practiced in SEA, polynesia, native america and africa, whose history doss not align with this comic as far as I know

If I'm reading this correctly trans men are victimized by the patriarchal structure of society because all members of society are "victimized" in such a society. It's just that the use of the descriptor "misogyny" may be unfit to describe transmasc struggles

The two most relevant aspects of art are most often technique (how skilled?) and communication (what are they saying?). You're perfectly fine ignoring the technique part as long as you think you're expressing yourself adequately. Or you know. Just drawing as a hobby.

I've only played three new games this year.
1. SMTV: Vengeance
2. Baldur's Gate III
3. WH40K: Rogue Trader

If Baldur's Gate III was called Divinity: Original Sin III and instead of Astarion we had The Red Princion it'd be number one though.

Instructions unclear: I have eaten all my friends dice because of my aspect. Dice eater. /j Okay I get it, it's probably something like, oh you're a karate master so that aspect is applicable to like hitting stuff with your fists and so on, and once every session you hit something really hard maybe

Interesting. I only know Fate Core is like, Keyword: The Game, isn't it? I wonder what playing accelerated is like. I have fallen in love with City of Mist recently, which has a character creation and story telling "combat" system I really enjoy running.

With a lot of games I used to mute their audio and listen to my own playlists in the background. I have never done that with MGR:R. Honorable mention to the The Messenger OST by Rainbowdragoneyes.

It uses synths every now and then to enhance this alienation as they slightly disturb the flow of the post-rock atmosphere, which I think sounds good. Personally it reminds me of playing Half-Life 2 for the first time when I was 12 or so. I recommend a listen, but it won't join my favorite rotation.

For example is perfectly suitable for children and tweens to play and understand! If they get older and want more complex challenges, I cannot recommend Spirit Island enough! Settlers of Catan is also really popular but I don't like that one quite as much.
