  • The Holy Trinity includes God who is supposedly all powerful. I think He can hold His own 1v1. I’m not saying He would thrash every Hindu god, but it’s not a trouncing of God situation, either. Regardless, when you start adding in the entire kingdom of Heaven, even against the entire pantheon of Hindu gods, I think Heaven wins out.



  • In the game Taskmaker, one of the things I always try to do as soon as possible is acquire a vapor ring (allows you to walk through nearly any wall/tile). Facing a bad guy who is too strong? Become ethereal and walk into the middle of a wall, rest up, and return until he’s beaten (or you run out of food or get bored).

    Not to mention all the looting potential.

    When I originally played the game, it was a demo that didn’t include most of the locations. It did include a range of items. So, I knew this trick before I got the full game. I had practically become the taskmaker before I had the full game.


  • I think that’s the real crux of it. Most people don’t know. There may have been a bump in literacy, but most people don’t know, don’t care, and don’t need to. If we had better education, this kind of thing could be a core class. I had computer classes, but they mainly focused on typing and specific programs. Basically nothing about components, the command prompt, programming, different OS, etc. Granted this was many years ago, but I live in Florida. So, it’s probably worse.


  • This. I shut off all notifications from nearly all of my apps. Primary text app, phone app, and just a couple of others. I may temporarily allow them for a special purpose, but once that’s over they all get silenced and I get to them when I get to them. I hate badge notifications, too. So, those are off for EVERYTHING. Grad school cemented that aversion.
