After completing the first section on Original Sin 2, where you are on a boat called The Hold (it’s basically a tutorial and story starter) it goes to an island… WHICH REQUIRED A 13GB DOWNLOAD! ON HOTEL WIFI! WOOF!

lol.

Oh well, a day later… greetings from a beach at Fort Joy.

Hoy empezamos novio y yo el Divinity y PUEDO HABLAR CON RATITAS. Y tienen voz súper mona :blobcataww: Y una me dijo que era preciosa (o almenos mis tobillos, que no llegaba a ver nada más...)

#videojuegos #Divinity

🎮 A mí no me tocó la época de los #BaldursGate pero sí disfruté de los #Divinity de Larian.

Vi un poco de gameplay de la tercera entrega y dijeron que era como si lo mejor de cada saga hubiera fusionado. El producto, a simple vista, me enamoró.

Habrá que darle una oportunidad...

Congratulations to #choir members and #elders in #Helensburgh honoured for long service. Terrifying to think that some of them might recall a cocky #divinity student on his first placement in their unsuspecting #church, who preached terrible #sermons, and broke one of their radio mics one Sunday...

Nicht das erste Mal, dass ich mich auf ein rundenbasiertes Rollenspiel einlasse, aber bisher brach ich alle Versuche ab, weil es mir nicht lag. Divinity schafft es aber, dass ich diese Art des Kampfsystems tatsächlich unterhaltend finde.

Es freut mich sehr, dass der Funke endlich übergesprungen ist. Eröffnet mir auch ein paar neue Versuchsoptionen in dieser Kategorie. 🎮

I guess that since I've never earned much as a #minister, my #Glasgow #Divinity degree was low value?

Pillars of Eternity or Divinity Original Sin?
#divinity #pillars #gaming #daddeln #

Talking #UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) again, which I'm from now on just calling PG (Personal Gnosis).

This is a hot-button issue for some, a contention point at least for others. People really do want to double and triple down on the idea of people not doing or believing things outside of a set spiritual "lore", and to a point? I get that. We don't want to throw discernment out the window, a point I would agree with.

But there's a line, and I see Pagans and Polytheists crossing it, every single day.

If I want dogma, there are plenty of places to get it, and I won't knock it if it's for you -- but honestly for me? I don't need it: I have my Gods, and that is plenty. They and only They, in conjunction with myself, dictate my path.

It all boils down to PG at the end of the day, and you continue to be worthy.

(... but don't try to push your PG on others. That's called being a dick.)

#baldursgate 3 has been re-scheduled to avoid clashing with the release of #starfield. It will be available for PC in less than a month! The console release has been postponed to adress perfomance optimisation.

I have already played the early access and I loved it! You will, too, if you liked #Divinity Original Sin (#DOS2).

I have yet to come to terms with the combat but apart from that this will be one of the #gaming highlights in what is already a great year for #videogames - hands down!

What is #Gnosticism?
https://www.stitcher.com/show/misquoting-jesus-with-bart-ehrman/episode/what-is-gnosticism-304787429

How could these #religions be considered #Christian if they didn't think #Jesus' death mattered? How could they consider the #God of the #OldTestament to be a lower level and inferior #divinity, and this #materialuniverse to be a #cosmic disaster? Did #Gnostics have their own #Scriptures? Did they use the books that later became the #NewTestament? If so, why didn't they just admit their views were wrong?

One of the central tenets of many #denominations of modern #Christianity is that #Jesus is #god
https://www.stitcher.com/show/misquoting-jesus-with-bart-ehrman/episode/did-jesus-disciples-think-he-was-god-304145991

If you asked Jesus’ disciples if he was a human or God, would they have affirmed his #divinity, or accused you of #blasphemy? And if Jesus was #divine, then was he considered to be God made flesh, a human who was turned into a divinity, a "super-human" with some divine features…or what?

I am currently seriously considering two courses:
◇ #Ordination training via the OneSpirit #Interfaith Foundation
◇ Bachelor of #Divinity via the University of London's distance programme.
I could do them both concurrently, or pick between them.
I already have several informal 'ordinations' that would enable me to conduct #celebrant ceremonies, although technically not in the UK*

*it's complicated, the law is under review and needs updating to accommodate non-church/state ceremonies.

Started playing Divinity 2 in December 2021, and 152 hours later, I finally completed it in April 2023! It's a fantastic game, great story, but I didn't like the "good" endings. It felt like all the effort put into the journey, in the end, is pretty much for nothing? 😅 #gaming #divinity #dos2

A quotation from Euripides:

«««««
He shall come to know
Dionysus, son of Zeus, consummate god,
most terrible, and yet most gentle, to mankind.
[γνώσεται δὲ τὸν Διὸς
Διόνυσον, ὃς πέφυκεν ἐν τέλει θεός,
δεινότατος, ἀνθρώποισι δ᾽ ἠπιώτατος.]
»»»»»
