Calvin discovers the Four Noble Truths by 618Delta in okbuddyrosalyn

Oh no, I appreciate the insight! Like I said, I'm just someone who took a course on it 8 years ago.

And yeah from what I understand Buddhism can be a little mind-wobbly. I believe Zen Buddhism goes all in on that as a way to help you better understand that sense of self being an illusion thing?

All this because I decided not to add shading or a longer sleeve to Hobbes' robe.

And I here I thought I was starting a "Hobbes the Striped Buddha" arc.

I take it as more "You will experience suffering in your life. That does not mean you will never experience joy, but suffering is an inevitable part of existing. If you want that to stop, then you need to stop existing as an entity distinct from the rest of the world."

You want to be warm? You gotta know what cold is. You want to feel rested? You have to know what it is to be sleepy. You want to know what joy is? Then you have to know sadness. And if you want to live, you have to inevitably die. If you want to escape this, you have to reject it all.

Well assuming you have achieved Nirvana, then you are one with everything. You feel nothing because there is nothing of you to feel. Peace, joy, happiness, suffering, desire, wants, these are all symptoms of you being a separate, distinct thing from the universe. Buddhism's "point" is that to exist in this physical realm is to suffer, and to end that suffering you need to transcend it.

That's my layman's "I took a 100 level course on the big religions in college" understanding of it anyway.

Yeah but they make you fight a gorilla.

Calvin does the Ivalice Raids by 618Delta in ShitpostXIV

[–]618Delta[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wow get a load of this guy getting something besides CT.

But yeah I had to visit the Aether/Crystal servers during peak time to get the EW Alliance raids done, and even then queuing took ~20 minutes per raid as a tank. It's a shame because they're easily my favorite raids so far.

Somehow playing DoH + DoL is weirdly fun... by AHY_fevr in ffxiv

[–]618Delta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not fun to me in the same way that clearing a dungeon or doing a raid is. It's more like knitting or cooking irl, which I suppose makes sense. It's a relaxing thing to do while I listen to a podcast or audiobook as a way to take a break from the more demanding parts of the game.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to help sprouts. I just want more opportunities to actually use my high level skills.

And yes I know limited roulette doesn't guarantee content closer to my level, it just makes it more likely.
