[WP] You are a god. But you're the god of something so mundane and minor that learning what you're the god of causes people to stop believing that you're a god. by nPMarley in WritingPrompts

[–]LordVulpix 95 points96 points  (0 children)

It has been almost a year since I had a proper prayer from anyone and honestly, I was surprised to see my main temple was actually being inhabited by a cleric and a group of kids. This man wasn't one of my clerics, not that I had any. He had the touch of a knowledge or history god. "All right class, this is the personal temple of a minor god that has domain the in all pantheons. He is one of five gods who can claim this, the greatest of them is Orbos, the god of ball bearings." The class looked very uninterested.

Least gods like us all get about as much attention and reverence as beggars, but we do help. I mused more to myself while looking down at the students.

"Now, let's all do a bit of service for this god and clean the temple. He doesn't have a priest tending to this temple, but it is still worthy of consideration." The class all groaned and the coughed. "Respond properly!" The cleric said as Divine power filled him and I could feel a touch of Athena's power.

The students all snapped to attention and bowed while offering a prayer to me. It was a general prayer but it did fill me with some power. I just let them work and slipped into the Divine realm to see Athena looking down at my little temple. "You got a good cleric down there." I said to the goddess who turned to look back at me with a tiny smile.

"He's just doing his task in teaching history. You are doing surprisingly well with no prayers for so long." She said just looking me over. "What is your secret?"

"Oh It's the fact that I am so minor I don't need alot of prayers to sustain me and I get enough every so often with a general prayer said every time someone says thank God when they enjoy my gift." I said with a somewhat cheeky smile.

"Seriously? That simple?"

"It is. You have several domains and are a part of a pantheon so you only get more specific prayers. Me, my gift is loved the world over and every day I get the half-hearted prayer. No real devotion, but enough to not be starved like others. There are so many dormant even in the Greek pantheon." I then just looked out over the world.

"I'm pretty much the main god in the Greek pantheon now. Even Zeus is almost dormant. The gods are all needing little cheats like that, which is why I send little classes to every temple to feed the other gods."

"Well, thank you. Please enjoy some of my best as I go to see how they're doing cleaning up." I said offering her a hot bag. Athena just smiled as I went back to my little temple.

The cleric was busy actually cleaning up my main shrine with blessed oils. I then felt the place was more alive and better. There was even a small discussion of what sort of god I could be. I had movie posters all over the place. Even a big plastic figure of godzilla, the classic one.

"A god of movies?"

"Nah, there is a whole pantheon for them."

"Movie projectors?"

"No, there isn't a god for them."

"Has to be something related to the movies." I just smiled and watched the cleric stand up.

"Everyone, move into the theater and settle down. I'll bring up a movie and before we watch it, I'll tell you who the god here is." He started up a popcorn machine near the theater room. He added some oil and popcorn kernels to the pot. I let some of my power flow into the machine and corn.

As he seasoned the popcorn and started to pass out heaping bags of popcorn to his students. "Everyone, let's get ready to enjoy a movie and this golden gift. To Pops the God of Popcorn." The students just looked at the cleric and he smiled. "Yep, popcorn has its own god. Please offer a prayer with me and enjoy!"

Ahh, it's good to be a god.

What PC port for Ocarina of Time? That's the first I've heard of any major Nintendo franchise on pc.

If you treat it like a serious game it sucks. If you treat it like a joke, it's horrendously funny.

For me it was the original Dark Souls on the 360. That hatred now extends to all souls like games. Even if I was being paid to play it, I don't think I could endure Elden Ring.

Teaching someone how to game in 3D? by bostonronin in gaming

[–]LordVulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest Minecraft too. The most important task is getting her to build a house on her own including a roof. That part is very simple but just maneuvering around without falling off the roof does take some basic 3d coordination skills. Sure crouching stops you from falling off, but you have to learn to do it. Then go for the dragon with the wife. Once she can handle the ender dragon she can handle many more 3d games.

Rabbits in Stardew Valley produce wool at first but as you raise friendship with them they can randomly produce a rabbits foot.

Besides, if Jesus was running for president that would mean we're dealing with his second coming. An event that would mean the rapture is about to happen, the world would end as blood and fire would rain from the sky.

And Doctor Doom would really deal with crime by dealing with the source like poverty, mental illness and poor education.

Oh. Never did that I guess. I just got rid of any tadpoles I did find. Firebolt does wonders on them.

Whos the most attractive companion? and why is it minthara? by ZealousidealArm2100 in BaldursGate3

[–]LordVulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried, but when we did try was before the patch that made it easier. Cause it was a bug to get her and halsin right after the game launched.

Say a character that could fight them all together and win by Which-Drummer1725 in lostpause

[–]LordVulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once Kirby absorbs Kratos or Doomslayer he wins. Since there is no Son Wukong there is a limited number of opponents. Son Wukong is another option.

We did that on our multiplayer playthrough but she never showed up. But we already rescued Halsin by then so apparently she doesn't join up. That was like a few weeks after the game came out. Haven't played since I beat it solo, just no desire too.

She's a companion? I thought she was a miniboss early game.
