As far as I know, the biblical description of angels are in line with the Torah and in extention with the Quran. The babies with angel wings is in comparison a very new concept. Depicted long after the Bible was written.

But you seem deeply invested in this religion, which is fine by me, but I am not. I see the similarities and just presume that whoever wrote the book read the others. I’m not saying I am right or wrong, or that you are. All I’m saying that the similarities are very much possible and, in my opinion, very probable in a non-religious sense.

Even religions before monotheism are very much alike,and probably stem from the same root. I don’t see anyone pushing for godly intervention or prophecies for that. But in all probability, the coincidence in that are probably similar to the coincidence in the Islam.

By that time Christianity existed, and most of the Middle East was the Roman empire. It’s not far fetched. The old testament of Christianity is basically the Torah texts freely translated and somewhat changed, and Christianity was by that time, thanks to constantine, the most widely spread religion in the Roman empire. It’s not a miracle or a coincidence. People traveled then, too. It’s about as far fetched as an American-born Buddhist these days. Not common, but it happens.

In fact, the silk road has existed for centuries, if not millenia by then. If they can trade with places as far as China, it’s not far fetched for a religion proven to be inspired by both Judaism and Christianity to have traveled a little over the Roman empire’s borders.

Edit: also Judaism was common in and out of the Roman empire too

They wrote it down, Monks (or the religion’s equivalent) copied them. Religious leaders read them aloud. It’s not hard to understand.

As always, people who could read, read religious texts for people who cannot. There’s no coincidence, just telling and retelling of stories once made up way before.

I know. Hence my comment. I’m saying he’s smart for not saying anything.

It’s not alien, but not everyone can afford not feeding their kids.

I never said that. But it’s smart of him to not say anything. Unless you want to have less of a future job-wise

If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all. But also it wouldn’t be smart to bash your former employer if you want to keep working in the field. Especially an employer with a habit of buying up the competition.

This is more specific aimed at retroarch, not retro gaming in general.

Cool! Thanks!

There’s a DOSBox fork that I know of that can run Win95 but the “hard drive” is not as easily accessible as regular DOSBox.

If it’s a different emulator, I’d like to try it out. Let me know if you ever remember!

Great! Thanks. Amazing list!

Insert Gandalf meme here

I still remember the windows Xp compatibility problems with old software and games. And windows 10/11 didn’t make those problems go away, instead it got worse. Old software is not a priority, understandably.

For example have you tried to play Dungeon Keeper 2 on a modern pc? I have, and it crashes constantly. Other software won’t even run a lot of the times, even with tinkering.

DOSBox made using DOS software accessible. There is not a catch-all like that for pre XP windows software yet.

Also this community is mostly for/about nostalgia.

Nostalgia is a helluva drug. It’s not just about the OS, but also the retro games that were made for it. And the hardware for retro collectors. I just noticed trying to find games to post on the DOS Gaming community that many of the retro games I loved as a kid were made for Win9x. So I made the community to post more of my personal nostalgia.

Also there’s !dosgaming@retrolemmy.com ;)

Cool! Don’t forget to post your community in this community for more visibility.

You can also make your main account mod for easier access.

Yeah, I made this instance. I intended retrolemmy to be a place welcoming for all things Retro, so go right ahead! I’d subscribe in a heartbeat!

If you need help, let me know.

Thank you for choosing retrolemmy for this! May your community grow big and strong!

Cool! Thanks for adding !dosgaming@retrolemmy.com!
