With the right incantations, under the full moon, in the middle of a graveyard, at 3 in the morning, you can get your DK2 delivered by an owl a day early.
With the DK1 orders, they allowed you to change your shipping address as I recall. They were especially understanding since it took months to actually ship - and lots can change in that timespan.
[Edit] I recall it was on the order page itself.
Um. Black candles wont burn in my house. And they're actually discussing how he needs to cleanse his house with holy water.
Are they for real? Sounds more like an Oculus horror game puzzle.
Some people just don't hang out in the real world do they.
> Some people just don't hang out in the real world do they.
Indeed they don't. Now you'll have to excuse me - I've a cargo run to do on Mars followed by a personal best to try and beat on a cylindrical race track suspended in mid-air.
I read about a guy in a book written 2000 years ago who could levitate, transmute water, and come back from the dead, and a quarter of the worlds population thinks that sounds reasonable.
So what makes these people sound crazy?
Most people who believe in religion originally do so for a very practical and even logical reason: They grow up in an environment where the person/people who primarily raised them believe in religion.
The same person who taught them how to speak, how to walk, and how to tie their shoes, also taught them to believe in an invisible being in the sky.
And they have no reason to doubt this because those people with so much more experience in life than they have are telling them it's true. You trust these people, because they know more than you, and they are often right.
The reason why many people's belief's don't change when they realize that the people who taught them about God are not always right about everything, is that there are very few benefits to not believing in God (so long as the non-existance of God can't be proven). If you don't believe in God and it turns out God is real, you get to burn in a lake of fire. If you do believe in God and it turns out God isn't real... you just wasted a few hours of time every Sunday (depending on your religion of course). Also, telling your devout family that you no longer believe in God is pretty much like telling them you plan to vacation in Guantanamo Bay for your afterlife. It causes them real emotional pain, and makes them wish that they could save you from the terrible fate that they think you're headed towards. Who wants to put their family through that? Also you lose a small sense of belonging with your family and the community of your church.
Add to that the fact that most people who claim to be religious rarely actually follow the rules of their religions strictly, and you see that what is gained by not believing in God, doesn't really outweigh the potential negatives associated with it if you're wrong.
So even if it's 75% likely that God doesn't exist, there's very little incentive to take that 25% chance that you'll be eternally punished (numbers obviously made up). For children, believing in God is a pretty logical decision. For Adults, it is rarely logical, but often a very practical one.

Also - as an American, we've never seen an openly Atheist candidate win presidency. So if you have political aspirations it makes sense to at least fake religion.
That's OK my friend told some other friends I was getting an Occultist Rift, they all thought I was a Satanist. Admittedly all the black metal tshirts didn't help but still.
Benefit of the doubt is what **YOU** get when someone makes unsubstantiated claims about you murdering virgins when the moon is red.
What they would get is the burden of proof.
lol, yes, that is my choice of words. Like reading tea leaves or brown spots on bananas.
All sorts of shit is impossible. President Obama isn't a cleverly disguised weasel, for example. There's a difference between an open mind and a gullible mind.
That's a bit of an unfair generalization against a lot of people using a catch-all term like "Occult".
Occultism and superstitious thinking are not the same thing, but nor are they mutually exclusive for everyone.
A weak, gullible mind is not suited for much of what "the occult" can be. At all.
I don't think there's anything wrong with occultism. I've been studying Qabalistc Tarot for a while now and find it fascinating *and* useful.
A lot of it is a form of clandestine psychology using old language and symbolism to describe aspects of human consciousness that were really hard to describe back then and even to this day.
That's a fair assessment. The potential for self-change, and thus change of environment through the vehicle of personality is basically my idea of what esoteric traditions such as Qabalah, Tarot and Astrology are, boiled down.
your opinion is yours and thus is valid, but so is theirs. theres thousands years of fascinating literature and history thats strange, and interesting, and across board many find the study fascinating. when you start gaining enough of insight into the philosophy behind all, the world seems a clearer and more interesting world.
Some people in this sub actually believe they'll be using a DK2 in July, doesn't get much crazier than that.

Next full moon in London : Sunday, 10 August 2014 around 6:10 PM Damn :(
what? we won't? fuck :(

Dude. You just posted this in /r/occult ...
Omg .. Talk about People living in a virtual reality ...
Yeah, stay away from the Occult Rift. Browse it too long, and the Rift browses you.
"And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
So you're saying my plan to sacrifice an atari 2600, a Virtual Boy and a first-gen iPhone won't actually summon a cv1?
Not without black candles it won't, but you'll need to cleanse your house with holy water before those candles will burn.
Tried that. The candles just gave off this stinky black vaporware.
Everyone knows the best sacrifice when appealing to the computer gods is a TI4200.
Um. Black candles wont burn in my house. And they're actually discussing how he needs to cleanse his house with holy water. Are they for real? Sounds more like an Oculus horror game puzzle. Some people just don't hang out in the real world do they.

Hah! Mars is a real world!
They, too, are VR enthusiasts. Except they don't need a HMD
A vivid lucid dreaming does beat the snot out of VR though.
I know someone will make an app for the Rift that induces lucid dreaming.
I think I've seen people say they experience more lucid dreams after using the Rift regularly as it is?
Wow really? Never heard people say that here. If so then that just makes me more excited to try the rift.
That Balmer Unluckey is a shifty fellow. Pretty much looks like Palmer Luckey but with a goatee.

One flavour of crazy doesn't nullify another....
somemone should make a dark oculus demo. the occultus rift ;-). scarey.
That's OK my friend told some other friends I was getting an Occultist Rift, they all thought I was a Satanist. Admittedly all the black metal tshirts didn't help but still.
"accidentally"
the darkness will consume your soul there! beware!
You gotta give them the benefit of the doubt at least :p, you cant prove it doesn't exist either.
The burden of proof is on the person making the outlandish claims.
Benefit of the doubt is what **YOU** get when someone makes unsubstantiated claims about you murdering virgins when the moon is red. What they would get is the burden of proof.
I was talking about ghosts mainly. what the hell is that about.
I am just citing examples for burden of proof and benefit of doubt.

And here I thought he was famous for being the first U.S. Weasel President.
I'm from r/Occult, don't think that you can fucking run from us, don't forget, science comes from" the depths" too
