Gods are literally just a psychological comfort blanket to explain the unexplainable. Most religious people don’t put that much thought into what they believe, challenging concepts are just tucked nicely away in the “Gods will” box and they move on. I think everyone copes with those brain shattering concepts in their own creative way or risk getting buried alive in anxiety.
I second the dust. Dust can collect on the sensor and trigger the alarm. You can try vacuuming or using a compressed air cleaner, or just replace.
Drakan series needs reboot. I played Drakan; Ancient gates. That game was so much fun. The seamless transition from fighting on a dragon to fighting on your feet. The next level spell casting where you had to trace out the symbol to cast. The lore felt really deep like there was a lot of secrets they never fleshed out and ever since I’ve had an itch that never got scratched.
In the Pacific Northwest I’ve had visitors get really excited to see slugs.
Quokkas win as far as cutest and chillest animals to bless this planet. Quokkas should be everyone’s spirit animal.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but this song is a masterpiece of horror manifest through audio. In fact the whole album is a piece of art, troubling and dark but so well crafted.

Can you help me find my puppy, I think it went into this cheap hotel room?
I think there is a big piece missing if we want to make lasting change. Protests should be the first part and we have missed many opportunities by skipping the second part. Challenging the legality of the issues in court. The MLK jr. movements were so powerful because they changed the laws. In many cases they “got arrested” on purpose and then challenged the legality of the issues in court with some amazing well armed lawyering. The protests, though important, should only be to stir up public opinion and momentum, followed by a timely well thought out and public challenge to the laws we wish to change. That’s where to orgs should be focusing their energy to capitalize on these fleeting moments.
Didn’t get good before pics.
I finished a landscape project in the front yard.
Can’t believe no one has mentioned it already but the book that got me into reading was “Enders game” by Orson Scott Card. Fairly short and has a split set of follow up books that branch off in 2 directions in you want more.
Doom Scroll - Immoral Compass
Mr Gnome - The day you flew away
Jonathan Wilson - Eat the worm
Viagra Boys - Cave world
Wet leg - Wet leg
Chet Faker - Hotel surrender
Igorrr - spirituality and distortion
Amigo the Devil- yours until the war is over
Out of orbit - OOO
I could go on.
Kimono Drag Queens are such a good band. Criminally underrated rated.
The jerk chicken from 3 dives in Negril, Jamaica. It might be influenced by set and setting with a gorgeous sunset and being extra hungry after getting all extra loose at Rick’s cafe but it’s one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. That or the earl gray brined double pork chop at Perry’s in Puyallup, Wa. Or my own recipe for “bacon beer cheese soup poured over ripped up Dill rye toast.” Or …… I better stop here
+1 for huckleberries. Especially plucked off the bush in the middle of a PNW alpine hike.
Fedor Emelianenko always looked frumpy compared to everyone he fought. That was the last thing most people thought before they woke up from hard reboot anyway.
Drakan: Ancient Gates was my inspiration. Their magic casting blew my mind back in the day and I never understood why no one else has utilized that system. I will have to check out Arx Fatalis.
I have this concept for a VR team battle game where you have to learn to actually cast spells through complex real time action. Like a mix of moving your hands in patterns and adding elements via hot bar in sequence and saying words via headphone. 1 on 1 or team vs team strategy game where complexity makes stronger team spells and counters. You could have casters who specialize in defense, offense, healers, traps and counters and how you build your team makes for strengths and weaknesses.
Kinshi is such a deep game. I get how it’s hard to get into but damn once it clicks it’s crazy how far down the rabbit hole that game goes.
Although not very impactful yet, it think aerographene has the potential to be massive.
