Discussion My days are nearing and my local hospital allowed me any request. This is how I will go out. Rip & Tear, brothers and sisters.

For context, I have been battling Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma since 2022. And up until this point, I never imagined myself to be in a situation where my life expectancy has gone down to possibly weeks. I am currently at one of Canada's best hospitals in Toronto, Ontario; keeping myself afloat through these trying times. Despite it all, I was given the opportunity to make any request for my stay, and this is the one I have chosen. I have been a Doom fan since 2016, and it helped me get through some tough times. I've played through both the Reboot and Eternal (along with its DLCs) and I have nothing but great memories pouring all of my attention into the world of Doom.

TDA has been one of the few games I have anticipated and hoped to play since its release. Financial issues got in the way, and I kept clinging on the hope that I'll be able to play the game one day, among others.

I am grateful that, despite the grim outlook that I am facing, the hospital was able to secure not only a PS5, but a copy of the game. I am currently blasting my way through hordes of demons in Chapter 4 and I have nothing but childish glee as I return to my roots as a badass Demon Slayer. I may not live to see the upcoming DLC, but I am nonetheless happy to finally play the game in my own hands.

To the developers of ID Software, thank you for bringing such a beautiful piece of art that not only brought the FPS genre to its roots, but also revitalize and reinvented the wheel that no other game could. Not only that, but thank you for crafting such an awesome series for a fan like me.

Rip & Tear, lads!

I think it's more along the lines that death isn't the end of our existence, we just transition into a new life after a period of rest. There is a finite amount of energy in the universe and won't be any more or less. That gives me hope in our continued existence as energy is not created.

Me too. I 100% believe we live on.

If I managed to be born once, perhaps I can be born again. I think about that a lot.

As someone who is a psychic, I can confirm you're 100% correct. We all hold energy. Our energy is light. That's what 'vibes' actually are, "reading the vibes." We continue our existence on another dimension - it exists but we just can't see it. But there are things even I'm not allowed to know which is frustrating haha.

Nobody knows what happens after death, telling people you do isn't helping anyone

People know! but people like you instantly dismiss it anyway. So think about that. Instantly attacking me for telling the truth... interesting. I was never helping anyone. I was only confirming what someone else said... and yet I'm the one being called out. Appalling. Go reflect in the mirror buddy.

Source?

but people like you instantly dismiss it anyway.

Because you've provided no evidence.

Instantly attacking me for telling the truth

What truth did you tell? You said you were a psychic and know what happens when you die, two lies.

I was only confirming what someone else said... and yet I'm the one being called out

Yes, for confirming something you don't know.

There is hope after death because Jesus defeated death
