Yeah, before I knew that it's better to just use Proton over the Native Linux game, it threw me for a loop too NGL

Adding that to the Watch later pile, thank you
That they fell and now they can't get up again, maybe?
Hmm...IDK, Chris was yelling at those things in the movie pretty hard and all it got her was pain. Maybe if Jesus or an Exorcist was the one going "I cast you out", then it'll work...
I loved how detailed this answer is, thank you!
So less "intentionally terrorizing those around the possessed" and more "causing the possessed to suffer physically/mentally"? I'm sensing the pattern that Demons tend to love aping or causing mental illnesses/strange behaviors based on this and other comments. Or well, the animalistic behavior could also be the person's reaction to having an entity taking him/her over, maybe trying to get it to leave? But...then again, that could also be that thing probably being ecstatic to have a body to move around in, who knows.
Hmm...so the main targets of possessions would be the Faithful, whereas skeptics and those who don't follow the Teachings of Christ would be...safe, i guess is the word? They wouldn't be singled out, for sure.
I imagined they were subtle regardless of it being today or back in the days of Jesus since being bombastic or OTT would likely unnerve people and draw them back towards God...or, well, I know I'd go back to mass if a demon started raving to me like Pazuzu does in The Exorcist lol
Thanks for the rec, I'll check him out later
So our picks are either what the translator's interpretation of a demon was or from outside sources that may or may not be entirely canonical (if at all) to the bible? Huh...i imagined the church would have wanted the faithful to know the enemy a bit more. Wonder why they were hardly mentioned (I mean zero disrespect by this by the way. I may not be Christian, but i respect the faith).
Interesting regardless, and answers why some link possession and mental illness together in media (and i assume IRL)
Did you enable Proton in your account settings? If not, you're only going to be able to play native Steam games (which are both meh, and are at the mercy of how much the devs maintained it, or are incomplete like the Binding of Isaac one not having an Afterbirth DLC linux version so without Proton, you wouldn't be able to access it).
If you haven't and are still on Linux, go to your account, find the compatability tab, and check "Enable Steam Play for all titles". Steam will ask to restart, and after a restart, you'll be good
Edit: ah, i believe you hadn't enabled Proton. Yeah, i can see why you'd have the misconception that Linux sucks for gaming (well, if you ONLY play certain multiplayer games and don't branch out to others, yeah you might have a rough time).
A lotta distros don't even work with Steam
Having been a chronic distrohopper since I joined Linux a couple of years ago, this is wrong. I've had some hiccups with Steam, yeah, but that was more the version of Steam I installed (Flatpak. Learned right quick to just install what was on the repos) and it didn't not outright work on any of the distros I used: be they Fedora, Ubuntu-based, Arch-based, or OpenSUSE. Steam's always worked
I don't think a single Bethesda Release works on Linux
They do. I regularly play and mod Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas, and Skyrim and can play as well as one does on Windows. It's not limited to those either: Doom, Evil Within, Ghostwire, Rage...all those work with very little configuration (which honestly is just personal prefrences on my part. They'll still work by enabling Proton in the Steam settings, and in the game properties if you wanna be extra sure or are using a GE version of Proton). Starfield also works. So it's not just oldies either.
No Fromsoftware...Lies of P doesn't.
Except I play Souls and Souls-likes all the time, and I'm currently playing Lies of P with no problems on Linux. If anything I had more problems with when i tried playing a Soulsborn on Windows. Elden Ring stuttered like crazy on Windows, but i had next to zero problem playing on my Arch install, even playing Multiplayer.
The other games you mentioned are also playable on Linux. Don't know who told you they don't but 90% of Steam works on Limux and Steam Deck. Just go to account settings and in compatibility, check "Enable Steam Play for all titles" and restart Steam. Otherwise, you get ONLY games with a native Linux version (which are...hit or miss at times). The only games you'd actually have trouble running on Linux would be ones that were given a hard "we're not supporting Linux" like Fortnite and those with heavy Anti-Cheats like Rainbow 6 Seige, Black Desert, or Valorant (and even those are getting Linux compatability: Dead By Daylight works now, Master Cheif collection apparantly works now, but I haven't played it in a while to check, Apex has worked for a while, etc)
Man was clearly doing a quest for Sheogorath lol
In MY bag? Nothing really comes to mind. In someone elses bag tho?
It's been years and I still remember the guy that carried around a gym bag with wheels of cheese in em in my community college. Dunno if he was selling, but i was always kinda wanted one NGL
I know about the Lesser Key and some "Alternative Source", i guess you can call em, texts describing Demons, but was more interested what the official canon had to say regarding demons/possessions. Based on the answers I've seen so far, it seems to be not as in depth as I thought, but what is there is very interesting IMO (i dig the animal shapes from the Torah that you brought up. From my very very limited recollection of my Catholic upbringing, they weren't given a definite shape, tho i could be very wrong...i was a bad Catholic and it's been years)
