Faithful ruin

#Luther got it all wrong, as did all gods, sons of god, prophets, apostles, popes, bishops, gurus, priests, believers, faithful, sheep.

*They* are #satanic.
#Faith is the #devil's #whore.
#Sensations are the #devil's #whore.

*Only* #wisdom and #reason is the path to #divinity.
#Grow and #educate yourself!

I don't only like Baldurs Gate 3.
I am also quite obsessed with Divinity Original Sin 2.
All time comfort game!
I made the Malady Cosplay back in 2020 during quarantine - while also writing my Bachelor thesis about that game XD.

#ThomasAquinas: " #Christ teaches the #dignity of #human nature ...and the full participation in #Divinity which is truly humanity's #happiness & the goal of human life." #MeisterEckhart: indeed the #nobility or #royalty of #ordinary people was at the heart of #Jesus' teaching. https://bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Today's poem:

Zeus
- by Aeschylus

O Zeus, who e'er Thou be,
If that name please thee well,
By that I call on Thee;
For weighing all things else I fail to tell
Of any name but Zeus;
If once for all I seek
Of all my haunting, troubled thoughts a truce,
That name I still must speak.

#Divinity 2 by #Larian (makers of #bg3) is currently 90% off at #GOG:

That’s a hidden gem I almost wouldn’t have bought years ago even when discounted due to the name but which turned out to be one of the best games I know.

It’s now at just 2€

I highly recommend getting it.

In On The Nature Of The Gods, Cicero has the Skeptic Cotta offer criticisms of Epicurean views on the divine. Here's a Sadler's Lectures looking at the Skeptic criticism of anthropomorphism

Here's the next Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on book 1 of Cicero's On The Nature Of The Gods, where Velleius presents the Epicurean position on what the gods are like. Turns out they have a quasi-human shape, among other things

Larian Studios, known for developing the Divinity series and Baldur's Gate 3, has officially launched its YouTube channel, and it's pretty awesome. None of that impersonal corporate BS that characterises the game industry. It leans into the whole Devolver Digital wackiness.

Another criticism that the academic skeptics make of the Epicurean position in Cicero's On The Nature Of The Gods bears on their contention that the gods must have human-like forms. Here's a core concept video examining that!

A short experience report after the first week with the #Steamdeck OLED:

This thing is just so much fun! Not a locked system like a classic console, but simply a Linux handheld computer in a great form factor and with great performance!

I've had several hours of fun with #Hades and #Divinity this week and the deck is also really phenomenal in the emulation area and surprises with great performance and a community that makes things possible with passion and commitment that I didn't expect.

The only (small) downside is the battery life. Probably time for a 45W power bank before the next trip.

Kleiner Erfahrungsbericht nach der ersten Woche mit dem #Steamdeck OLED:

Das Teil macht einfach mega viel Spaß! Kein verriegeltes System wie bei einer klassischen Konsole, sondern einfach nur ein Linux-Handheld Computer in tollem Formfaktor und mit großartiger Leistung!

Habe diese Woche ettliche Stunden Spaß mit #Hades und #Divinity gehabt und auch im Bereich Emulation ist das Deck echt phänomenal und überrascht mit großartiger Leistung und einer Community, die mit Herzblut und Engagement Dinge möglich macht, die ich nicht erwartet hatte.

Einziger (kleiner) Wermutstropfen ist die Akku-Laufzeit. Wird wohl Zeit für eine 45W Powerbank, bevor es auf die nächste Reise geht.

Here's a piece on Anselm's argument, his views on divine power, and what he says God can't do!
