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.

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.

To be fair, it's got survivor in the name. I love vampire survivors though so I'm pretty pleased to see a DRG spinoff.

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.

Pros

  • more attention to the Fediverse and all the advancement that may bring with it.
  • If the Fediverse ever becomes mainstream corporations will end up with their own content on it so having Meta join would provides early insight on how the Fediverse may be effected by becoming mainstream.

Cons

  • Some instances may not have the server load to support being federated with Meta
  • There's a decent chance it hinders healthy growth (Like a Cuckoo hatchling that starves out the bird's actual children.)

To be fair, reddit is the same way. There's an r/pics and r/pic and r/pictures and r/picture and r/photo and etc.

What happened is eventually one of the subreddits (r/pics) rose to the top and the rest are either made private (although that could be the protest) or only have a few users. Lemmy will likely end up the same way, with some of them being popular and some not popular.

The only way I can see multiple popular communites for exactly the same topic is if there is defederation involved (for example, if Beehaw never rejoins the web as a whole, or etc).

There was a time where I'd boot up Libre office for tasks that Google docs wouldn't cover. But it's been so long I don't remember what it was.

Now I just use Docs for all my personal work.

Edited my title because I realize it implied that Phreak was behind the changes (which is possible, but noone has said it yet).

Anyway. No, i haven't seen any talk from any devs as to why the changes are being made. I assume Phreak will talk about it in his usual patch rundown whenever these changes hit live but I don't know how many of those changes are actually his.

I really need to go back and play it. I played it briefly a few years ago but didn't get much past the first act.
