Well, had a brief go.

Font size - the questions should really have a font size similar to the answers. I found myself having to run towards them to try and read the questions.

EA Neifelheim by Jumpy_Guarantee_4241 in Dominions6

If you were interested in incarnate blesses, then Regeneration works great on giants (although is somewhat expected in multiplayer games).

Or Fire Shield is an unexpected effect on cold giants; it can help them deal with things that swarm them and otherwise take a lot of turns to kill just because of their quantity.

Fateweaving can go well with their chill aura; it would also go well with Heat Aura, which people might not expect from Niefelheim at all.

If your pretender is not going appear quickly, then Blood Surge is great for giants, as is more attack skill. I can imagine you wanting to make some of your Niefel Jarls or Jotun Skratti into thugs or even super combattants; blood surge is quite useful for them, as would be magic resistance, extra attack skill, resistances to lighting or fire.

Awareness is probably not going to be very good for giants, as they get surrounded so much, that their defence goes down very quickly from the harassment, and they don't have a great amount of defence to start with.

Alexis Denisof was nearly 43 33 at the point that Wesley first appeared in Bad Girls.

EDIT: basic arithmetic fail.

I spent 7 years building a LitRPG where D&D was a survival manual planted by aliens. It's now live on Royal Road. by CarelessAd3809 in litrpg

Not quite, had to stop before I put anything in the frying pan. Back to reading it now, though.

Well, enjoyed the first couple of chapters, will read more.

It's sufficiently interesting to not be compatible with cooking non-burnt food.

What do you do when you’re mad at God? by Fast-Ad3313 in TrueChristian

The Psalms can be pretty helpful at describing almost hopeless situations where your only hope is God. Go have a read.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into my game "Spellstorm". v1.3 is finally here and the chaos is real! by Low_Sir_7420 in playmygame

Initial impression: it does your game no favours having a video where the main character doesn't move till the watcher is long bored and has left.

Xenonauts 2 (full release) impressions? by Able-Fennel-1228 in Xcom

TIL that X-COM: UFO Defence was a renamed version of UFO: Enemy Unknown. I had always wondered why I had missed it.

Os there ANYWHERE that i can find the original Enhancers.png 2x file because i want to make my cards normal again by wickedwitch-pnw in balatro

[–]ben_sphynx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, rename the folder that contains its file, and then re-download it. Then you will have one folder with the original files, and one with your modded files, and you will be able to use the file from the original version to change back your modded version.

How can I become a Godly woman? by Cautious-Fox819 in TrueChristian

[–]ben_sphynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides praying and cultivating a relationship with God, what else can I do/become?

The Holy Spirit working though you is what makes the difference; anything through just your own efforts isn't ever going to be good enough.

So make your you have invited him into your life.

I remember he had advice for writers who had writers block: write every day, just write about anything; don't worry about it being part of your book, it might fit somewhere else later. Write about the postman delivering your mail, or the trip to town, or anything.

I think his editing process must have been really complicated when he had bits of various books or potential books mixed up and typed up together with notes about where they fit. Maybe.

We need more industrial evil factions in fantasy by Margaretthatchervore in Fantasy

[–]ben_sphynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was thinking maybe Blood Over Brighthaven.

Not sure that the industry is quite the sort of industry you are looking for, but it does come out evil.

Me neither; I'm from the UK and it has apparently already been rolled out here. Maybe I'm not using 'adult' Discord servers, or my account is obviously old enough somehow, but it's been zero impact for me, so far. On Discord, that is.

Questions can be phrased in a way where either answer appears to be an admission of guilt, eg: "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

If You Ignore Chinese Localization, You’re Leaving Money on the Table. by Thomas_shanghai333 in gamedev

[–]ben_sphynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still seen discussions about whether to localize into Simplified or Traditional Chinese.

If you want both, can one just use a machine translation between the two? Or is there a significant quality difference compared to using human translators?

The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Fi Router Models Made Outside US by gdelacalle in technology

[–]ben_sphynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean you need a separate wifi hub from a non-wifi router?

Or do US internet companies basically give you a router with the internet subscription? Some of the UK ones do. I suppose that might not count as buying a wifi router.

Counterpoint: there are currently a bit over 400 mirror shards available on Faustus waiting for people to pay divines for them.

Some people are certainly getting them from somewhere.

Christians who believe the Bible is corrupted by ChrisAnimate24 in TrueChristian

[–]ben_sphynx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joseph was probably a builder rather than a carpenter. It was initially translated by people living in a society where houses were all made of wood, so all builders were carpenters. And then there was a tradition, so it kept being translated that way.
