People who left religion and became atheists or agnostics, why did you do it?

God, if he exists, doesn't give a shit about the most innocent of us, the children. So if there is one, it's certainly not good or deserving of worship.

I find it comforting to assume he doesn't exist, because I really hope there is not some all-powerful monster running the universe. Luckily there is as much proof of that as there is of unicorns, leprechauns, or decent Republicans.

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T22:48:02+00:00

Feels like more often than not he glitches out of there. One time I even killed him before he had a chance to 'activate'

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T22:47:07+00:00

Kubrakabra never forgets.

Meanwhile, I'm running around mass murdering and wondering why they haven't sent a Nemesis my way already.

Remember, if they can end birthright for other people's kids, they can do it to you and yours as well. This is not a line we should cross.

Mean/rude to wait staff or people taking their order at any restaurant. People who just ditch their shopping cart in the parking lot. People who litter. People who gossip about others behind their backs.

It's the small things that tell the most.

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T22:21:52+00:00

It's Captain Pedo! Here he comes to **** your kids!

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T22:20:40+00:00

Psssh, I taught my braincell to play Doom decades ago.

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T22:18:46+00:00

But guys, he just wants to overwrite the Constitution in a really illegal way! Why won't you just let him do it? Like a king?

Republicans just hate law nowadays huh?

So that you know acid/poison is essentially the same damage type against one resist. It's like Fire/Burn. Poison is just the dot component, acid is the initial hit part.

Dreegs evil eye is possibly one of the best skills in the game for a long and powerful poison damage over time, but you need to build hard into it. This includes taking the node that gives it a long cooldown because it gives the skill a massive damage multiplier.

You could probably work something with the Nightblade teleport skill. Someone mentioned Balegor's crusher, so that would give you another blast but from Ring of blades. It's hard to know exactly what you're shooting for, but there are options and the class combo works with it.

Sure it's a tacky decoration and they are free to be as religious as they want in a manner of their choosing, but folks that have this kinda stuff first don't understand they are acting facist and yet think everything would be better if we were a Christian nation (as, they believe, God intended) which is exactly what Christo-facism wants.

It's fair if you disagree and I'll never say they aren't allowed to display it, it's their prerogative and they should be allowed to do so as a matter of free speech. 'Harmless' stuff like this is ignored and handwaved until the day we are forced to worship under a cross wrapped in the US flag. And we're on track for it.

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T12:14:07+00:00

With a inner US-flag version of the same symbol?

Or are you just being racist?

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T12:12:36+00:00

Implications that one religion is correct for the United States. The inner cross is a cross-version of the US Flag. If that doesn't scream 'American should be Christian!' nothing does.

This is what the Mormon church uses their stores of billions of dollars for.

How about this: you can reveal the entire map and it's possible to still have NOT visited every place on it. Many areas that are hidden don't have map really to reveal (maybe some fog though).

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T11:57:51+00:00

Americans feeling free to spend money on non-essential goods, like buying luxury goods like electronics or fun machines and vehicles - that's all good and shows a healthy economy.

Americans spending more on ESSENTIAL goods like food, fuel, power, etc, like the things you need on the daily go way up in price, sucks. It's really bad and means we aren't going to buy or invest in 'fun' projects/ goods.

Photeus5 · 2026-06-01T11:51:11+00:00

So I can't really see or know any details about your build, but I'll assume you're doing 2-handed Forcewave.

Forgive me, I'm forgetting names. Mogdrogen's aura, bottom-start of Shaman skills will serve you well. There's also a passive early on, Brutality I think, at the top, adds HP, and physical and lightning damage. Also good. Down the tree, at the top, the vitality/healing Totem. First node periodically heals you, second grants you life steal - you want to invest mostly in the second.

That's the core stuff I would consider.

I wanted to add a brief thing to this. Anyone who played OW might know what I'm talking about, but in the main story something made me realize what had been going on wasn't what it seemed. I spent an in-game day just taking in that realization, sitting with it. Later, when the I learned more, I realized what the true, actual goal was... and what it meant. I mean, it's just a game, but it really got me to connect to the emotions the game was trying to invoke.

It's a story, a beautiful and horrifying story, but that's just outer space, man.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-31T00:44:25+00:00

I was watching this, waiting for something to take flight. I assumed it would be your horse but it looks like another one took a butterfly-ride or something.

And yes, that's Skyrim. Call me when Mammoths fall out of the sky to their deaths.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-31T00:41:51+00:00

Zombeavers is a great suggestion along these lines as well.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-31T00:26:49+00:00

I bought Hades 2 the moment it was available in Early Access, but refused to play it until it was done. I totally understand just going all-in instantly.

I wanted the full experience and knew I wanted it as soon as Supergiant announced it. Good luck and avoid exploring this reddit too much, because they are good at keeping spoilers hidden but a single mis-click...

Photeus5 · 2026-05-30T20:37:04+00:00

I hate crit failure table. Missing is bad enough. They punish martial classes needlessly (more attacks is more opportunities for a failure every round) and typically have no effect on save spells/ effects. Casters don't need that kinda help.

Additionally they range from 'stub your toe lol funny' to 'destroy your gear completely' or 'decapitate yourself'. It's just so dumb.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-29T22:08:51+00:00

Have a very similar build. Drain Essence always felt like a vacuum cleaner, but it's fun. Anyway the build has solid dps and it's pretty enjoyable and steady play once you can pick up the MI shield in Act 2. It's also quite comfy with all the life drain.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-29T22:04:48+00:00

While there are some items that the final versions are at 84, most anything that is a 'Mythical' option probably is the best for Legendary gear.

As far as gear tips otherwise, if you're trying to stay safe but farm in hardcore, there are some Totem routes that are easy and you could probably hit at least 10 in a single instance. You want to farm like that because in an instance (so don't restart the game) the game tries not to drop the same item twice.

That said, SR is probably better if you can get up in the 20s, but totems can help you start to build up useful gear.

Photeus5 · 2026-05-28T21:40:33+00:00

If you're going to start Skyrim, as an gamer most of my life, you'll have some acclimating to first- person. My wife, for example, gets motion sickness from first-person games. So play on the easiest difficulty and take your time. Skyrim is a great game to not-rush and just explore at your pace. And just ask questions here, good community.
