I'm enjoying myself, my only complaint is that the early game is still rough. If you get unlucky with gear life gets much harder.

Also, some skills seem like they're not functioning properly. I tried detonating thunder lances with the spear leap and stacking 3 of them with barrage did like 1/2 the hp of a white mob even though it's supposed to be 3x 235% attack damage + the damage of the leap itself.

Right now on my coop character I'm running primal strikes as my main damage output, using voltaic mark and lightning Spear to proc shock. My solo character is a thorns build with shield charge and resonating shield. Both characters are doing perfectly fine. My friend running cold tornados is definitely stronger in the coop run though and the other friend running artillery ballista is also doing well.

I always think about visiting due to the amazing natural and historical areas but simultaneously, how much I don't want to visit due to other issues.

I'll use the preset responses sometime for Google but that's as far as it goes. It's very cool that you've found a way to help your anxiety by using it though.

Funnily enough (not funny actually, considering the war crimes and all), the Old Testament says that the Jews/Isrealites will never get rid of other people living in the area due to not driving them out in their original conquest.

Interesting, I've not heard of this shell of ice, and I believe in a young earth. I have heard though of a similar hypothesis based in Genesis 2:5-6 which proposes that it did not rain before Noah's flood and that plants were kept watered by a heavy mist and/or extremely humid atmosphere. Acoording to this idea, that excess water in the air and ground would've been all condensed by God as part of the flood.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with the hypothesis, and I do not believe it is essential biblical knowledge so I don't concern myself with it, but I have heard it before.

I agree with others, this seems like a flat-earther belief that has gotten mixed with Christianity's creation story.

I've heard of it before while browsing the internet, but not from any Christians I personally know. All the Christians I interact with (myself included) believe in a literal interpretation of the creation but nobe of us believe in a physical firmament. I will note that a single man I know denies the moon landing (for reasons I haven't bothered to ask) but even he still believes in a spherical earth and heliocentric orbit.

My understanding of Genesis 1:6-8 is that the firmament mentioned is the earth's sky or atmosphere itself, and not a physical barrier at the edge of the atmosphere. The easiest way to show this would be Genesis 1:20 where birds are described as "flying in the firmament of heaven". If the firmament was a solid object, birds could not fly in it.

The guardian target lock music from Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Minecraft maybe? I would say at the minimum it's a net neutral but considering how far off the deep end Notch is now I imagine it was a good thing.

I will point out that Mastodon and Pixelfed are Federated and open source versions of Twitter and Instagram respectively. Although, I do remember seeing something about Pixelfed's founder stepping away for a while.

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

It's nice for sure. Even outside of Beehaw I believe that with the smaller overall user base of Lemmy, most communities should be more general until the user base gets much larger.

For example, staying on the topic of video games. There's a community for factory/automation games which is likely to stay more active than if Factorio, Satisfactory, and others each had their own community. Also, having a community for the subgenre means that small indie games that would normally rarely be discussed have a place.

 

I've thought about picking it up for a while now because (at least through art style) it seems like an interesting take in the genre.

Has anyone else played it? If so, what are your thoughts?
