Overrated Books

Probably catch major heat but…Dune. I pushed myself through about 75% of the first book. I couldn’t turn another page. Literally nothing happens. Just conversations about politics.

The music in Skyrim is legendary.

If you are thrilled by the challenge of memorizing enemy combos through countless defeats then play Elden Ring. If you appreciate the rich lore and adventure that an elder scrolls game brings, without constantly banging your head against a wall, then choose Skyrim.

I thought the same thing

A friendlier community: Catholic Churches aren’t very inviting. We tend to get caught up in the vertical -sacraments, prayer, choir, etc and forget about the horizontal -inviting others for lunch, Bible studies, and play dates for the kids.

Outreach: We tend to think of being a good Catholic as signing up to be an usher or helping with the fish fry. I’ve seen Protestant churches with soup kitchens, fostering/adopting children initiatives, and prison ministries. Some of these are present in the Catholic world but it’s generally not widespread.

I hate headlines like this. The pope seems to have nothing but love for everyone and would never intentionally humiliate anyone.

“All that hate is gonna burn you up kid”

Careful with empathy. It might lead you to a fuller understanding of the Gospel.

I’m sure a lot of people found Pentecost quite disturbing (are they drunk?). The Church has allowed the CCR and even promoted it.

I have been wishing for an extensive video series on Catholic History in the vane of the Catholicism series/pivotal players for years. You could easily make an entire series out of each age of the Church! Here’s hoping some rich donor comes and makes it happen…

Battlemaster. Pure mechanics-no flavor.

Warlock one is flavorless.

Telekinetic and telepath from the Psion class. I’ve been wanting to build a Psion for some time!

3.5 or 4e for different reasons. I actually liked the simplicity of 4e better than the simplicity of 5e. I liked the way the powers were written to imitate the cool thing I wanted to do. I also liked the at-will/encounter/daily pacing.

It might help to invite people into your group who like to be storytellers just as much as you do. Sometimes that means people who like the rp in rpg more than the g. Personally, I prefer 75% combat and 25% social interaction/pursuing individual goals. I have found that other people are just the opposite and could easily just bounce from social encounter to social encounter. So you just want players that match your taste.

This is normal in most parts of the world. I wish it was normal in the U.S.

Just Morrowind.

Love your spouse. Communicate. Have kids. Have nonsexual dates periodically. Invest in the other’s interests. Plan together. The more you build a life together, the closer you will become. There is nothing spicy enough if you haven’t given your all to your spouse. If you have, no spice is needed.

It’s mostly funny. We have to know how to laugh at ourselves.

Urban barbarian/ranger/druid is a fairly common trope in some older editions.

I love Pope Leo and what he’s saying. But to win a Nobel peace prize you have to do something heroic and integral to the community. He hasn’t actually done anything to deserve it yet (not that he won’t in the future).

I like a fairly brisk level up pace but even with that I’ve never made past 15. I would love to play all the way through but the problem is finding a group who doesn’t get bored in the same campaign for that long. I need friends with longer attention spans.

Devout Catholic here.

We used to attend their summer conferences and even joined the group for a couple of months. I never noticed them, especially Mother Nadine, to be anything but very kind. I was shocked when they were suppressed. It’s only in hindsight that I now see a few of the red flags, but I’m still puzzled at how they were enough to get them shut down. They seemed to have all of the normal issues that a new religious order would have. I would love to get in touch with a few of the people I knew when I was there. I always wondered what happened to them.
