CDproject always played with the lore a bit loose, so I'm sure the explanation will not be in line with book canon, but hopefuly it will be a good one.

My guess is some modified version of the Trials, less powerful but also less risky - maybe made possible due to her "herbal treatment" at Kaer Morhen. Or she just resumed the herbal treatment long term and these are the results.

I'm a pagan.

Had Christian upbringing since I remember, so would consider myself Christian most of my life, was a real firm believer for more than a few years as well. Was in my late 20s when I really starting poking on those believes critically and it just crumbled. I still believed there is something more. Weirdly, I didn't really deny the possible existence of Christian god - I just refused him.

I was in this weird limbo for years - not an antheist, not Christian, not really religious but believing there is something more on spiritual level but didn't do anything with it because I couldn't identify it. Kinda afraid of Hell, but also didn't want to suck it up and return to Christianity just out of fear (realized I had quite enough of it as a kid).

Then I randomly read something on modern paganism and something just clicked for me. Looked into it more and it just felt right.

I guess lots of people is just answering "don't have one"

I'd be happy to see our kids get it in their lifetime - I lost hope to see it myself with how backwards my country is

Right? So weird.

We also sometimes use ,- effectively as a symbol for money. I assume it has same origin, would be used as 19,90 ,- too.

Thouhg I think you'd only use it on handwritten stuff, didn't see it in the wild for a long time now that I think about it

They sure blew some stuff up

Myself, I have no plans to buy or play it - I just really like the fact a live service game that comes to a close will be perserved and people who may have enjoyed it can continue to do so.

Here is hoping it becomes a trend.

I can imagine people afraid of being pregnant because of the fear of childbirth.

[-] illi@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

So I know the consensus is the game is not good, but I'm happy to see offline mode option.

I was introduced to Stargate with Czech voiceover in the TV. Seen episodes in Czech up to 6th season, later got to seasons 7 and 8 in English from a friend. I then rewatched the whole thing in English and I've been watching in English ever since.

The Czech voiceover was really quite good, superb actually. But I'm happy I got to watch the originals - especially Atlantis. I don't think Dr. Zelenka would be as special with all the other voiceover being Czech as well. I still remember the double take I did when Rodney was asking for "the Czech" and the glee I felt when Zelenka was introduced with the lines in Czech.

Hey all, I was wondering what do y'all think about the game after the recent relaunch. What is the state of things? Is it worth returning and if so, does it make sense to start anew on new servers, or just continue with the old character?

I don't have the Angry Earth expac so mainly wondering if it is worth the additional buy in price.

I prefer podcasts with at least two people, infotmational but also with some fun banter in between. Couldn't find anything like that - not many active ones in general that I could find.

Podcasts that don't meet above criteria also welcome. Though would be best if it is active podcats that still gets new episodes

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.

They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that's when ads start.

So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!

I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.

How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?

Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?

I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share.

I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?

I'd br interested in what you'd consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend.

I'm personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.
