@kistaro I haven't done a lot of that with Opus Magnum, but I love doing it with puzzle games that encourage it, like the Myst series. Seeing stuff like that excites me, because it's very specific in meaning but only to those who have played the game. In plain sight, but hidden.
Much like real classical alchemy diagrams! :-)
@makyo Heh. I...think we're that? Depends on how you're counting degrees. :-)
@Leucrotta I'm curious about the Crystal Skull opinion! :-)
Neopaganism, cultural appropriation, advice sought
Maybe another way to put that:
Respect the power and the mythological weight, but keep a sharp eye out for bullshit and don't 100% /trust/ the bastard. :-)
Neopaganism, cultural appropriation, advice sought
@Kyresti As for respectfully....well, look at how Annie does it? Respectful but taking /no/ bullshit either.
Neopaganism, cultural appropriation, advice sought
@Kyresti I love the Gunnerkrigg version! His "origin” story is especially resonant. :-)
@Leucrotta Hah, what about NUKLEAR WESSEL? :-P
@makyo
Or to make a full sentence or two that also happens to sound like a title from any of the related bands:
"Godspeed, explosions in the sky! This will destroy you, you Black Emperor."
God! Speed you, Sky Emperor!
Today in the adventures of 'no one but me reads my documentation', there are random lines of bad church latin invoking the protection of the machine spirit in our disaster recovery plan.
Example:
"Omnissiah defensionem calculandum apparatus. Chao superare potest. Custodiat te nostrae tergum consilium."
Circuits preserve us.
music
@Oneironott
I feel called out that band name. I mean, I kinda /am/ a "configurative or modular me trio"? :-D
@Austin_Dern
So what's the game about?
*game trailer video*
I mean what do you /do/ in the game?
*gameplay video*
The overall trend towards video content is frustrating. If something's text, you can read it at your own pace. A video constrains the pace and takes up a lot of extra time. :-/
Or maybe I'm just feeling old. :-P
HRT, insurance (-)
@makyo
I think I had problems with that before, particularly the patches were hard to get approved. I think insurance companies believe only women in menopause use them. :-(
I hope you are able to fight this!
