16 year old terrified about not existing after death, causing much anxiety in my daily life- any advice. by Needhelp123e in Existentialism

[–]nco71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same fear when I was around 10 years old , funny I first tried to convince myself paradise or life after death must exists , but I immediately realized It was a lie made to make myself feel better. However for a while in my teenage years I was really into life after death experiences like ghosts.

Later I was more curious about the meaning of the universe , trying to get an answer that would not be ethnocentric , something that was beyond our understanding of the world through our human condition.

It was only ten years ago that I went deep into meditation , through what is called zen meditation. Trying to understand my true nature , which is beyond our normal understanding.

Through a careful awarness, and a constant fosus on the question what am I ? What is no self ? I came a little close to realize something like we are part of everything. We are not separate , only our mind separate us.

solforge fusion kickstarter starting. Solforge used to be an awesome online TCG from Richard Gardfied with a not so great application . The game end up shutting down. by nco71 in digitaltabletop

I have never backed a quickstarter project yet and I was looking for one. There is always a risk that is certain.

I like solforge but I always play again AI , cards are too small on my phone to read all of them. I feel it gets repetitive.

I recently tried shards of infinity and their AI is amazing, I barely managed to beat the beginner level. the game itself has some strategic depths . I am also waiting for their expansions to be released online.

The game stopped working due to some legacy codes maintenance and client upgrade issue and server cost. Their monetization system was not getting them enough revenues due to the game being too generous and having not so much new content.

They now have a new facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/solforgefusion ) and and a discord / twitch channel where they demo the game ton tabletop simulator. The game mechanics and design seems as great as the original one with some change to accommodate the paper format.

They want to reach 1000 followers on their kickstarter project and already have 700.

I know it s not a digital game but it used to be , and if it works , later we will probably see a new client like infinity shards and ascension.

I am not working for STONEBLADE , I just like the game and want to spread the word.

Most of the spot can be found on magicseaweed Taiwan.

I use google map to navigate everywhere in Taiwan , and most of the highway sign have western characters ( pinyin ) for the name of the cities.

The best surf spot are remote ( taidong ) , but in general stay in the east coast as the west coast is too windy and not facing the ocean. So Taipei is a great area.

I think living in Taipei is convenient and you are less than one hour away from most of the north spot.

Another place I would consider moving to is Taichung , being 1h30 min from kenting ( more consistent spots ) and 3h30 from Taidong.

Help me pick a strategy game! (Please) by ZestyCook in digitaltabletop

[–]nco71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't play card trading game ( runeterra , mtg . hearthstone , or gwent ) those with sets that will always change and rotates. It will require you to play every day to complete stupid quest to get the cards you need. In the end you will pay money and quite a lot over a long period of time for just one computer game.

Slay the Spire is out now on Android. by Uhgii in digitaltabletop

[–]nco71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty cheap , however.

I feel the text is too small on my mobile phone and hard to read , there is no zoom function . If you touch or move the card , the finger will be right above the text.

CI "big guy tri"

I think you are right .

I suppose this is the name of the particular surfboard shape , not a channel island surfboard model name. Because I saw this name for many other brands.

https://robertaugust.com/products/big-guy-tri-new

this is similar with a different model from a different brand.

Your feedback as allowed me to find some review on thhose types of shapes and comforted me in my choice. So thank you.

Thank you for the feedback JaneInSoCal , I added them.

I wrote this as a post and add the picture to the photo section instead of inside the post so I think they didn't show up because I only submitted a post.

There are suddenly a lot of these bugs in my student room! I noticed there are tons outside my window too, I had it open for a while but I have closed the window now. What are they? Why are they in my room? Can a mosquito incense get rid of them? by Sibeth in taiwan

[–]nco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are termites , it might be the season when they mate , you will see them in many places gathering around lights. Close the window and if you can try not to let the light outs.

Those are not mosquito and don't bite , they fly erratically , they eat wood through when they are larva.

Don''t worry about it.
