How Smoking Made People Smarter

Cigar acquired: +5 intelligence, +3 motivation,grumpiness and weight gain debuffs removed. A lengthy interview article, most of which I read a few days ago, is now completely lost to me: I didn’t save the URL anywhere, it’s not in my browser history, and I forget the referring page that lead me there. How does that How Smoking Made People Smarter

Video: The CIA On Time Travel And The Holographic Reality – The Gateway Process

Interesting, if only for story fodder, which is in the works on my end. The Gateway Process and the Monroe Institute stuff has gotten a lot of attention recently because of all the holographic universe bejabbering, the popularity of MMPORGs and litRPG with the youngins, The Matrix, and all the official attention on UFO phenomenon.

Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: The Final Trial from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The actual title of this is “The Final Trial: The Champions’ Ballad,” but the game’s title is long enough and I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s attention span. This is a long and ominous-sounding one. It’s a leitmotif: it repeats the previous—I assume “previous,” because this one is titled “final”—trial tracks in the game, and Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: The Final Trial from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Catacomb Resident: Shaking Them Loose

Shaking Them Loose (mirrored on archive.org): Shaking Them Loose 26 October 2021 The single biggest issue for people of faith today is building up faith among other Christians. We have no pretense of telling them where faith will lead them. Our only concern is that they are set free to walk by their own convictions. Catacomb Resident: Shaking Them Loose

What A Woman Is

Most of us can intuitively answer the question on what a woman is, based on a bundle of personal past experiences. Yet, some people are lead to believe one needs to be a biologist to really determine what a woman is, or what have you. If you’re confused by that situation, you are probably normal, What A Woman Is

Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Assemble from Wartech: Senko no Ronde

Senko no Ronde is a weird game. It has elements of bullet hell/shoot-em-up mixed with one-on-one competitive fighting, with a strange angular (called “isometric” in design terms) perspective. Anyways, this song is typical of the soundtrack on all installments of the franchise: frantic rhythm with “slow,” flowing melodies on top of it. INOJ was one Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Assemble from Wartech: Senko no Ronde

Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Another Winter from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

Ubisoft made a good move getting a Anamanaguchi, an actual band who does this music normally, to do the soundtrack. The chitpune power pop style fits perfectly with the nu-retro graphics, gameplay, and character tropes of the actual game. The track I have here seems to be a slightly different than the one in the Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Another Winter from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

Catacomb Resident: Back to Eden

It might be good to point out here that what we think are America’s particular sins, real or imagined, are ultimately irrelevant to the judgment cycle itself. It’s not gays, or that America hates gays, or racism, or lack of universal healthcare, or lack of veteran care, or pollution, or whatever other political scapegoating you Catacomb Resident: Back to Eden

Story: The Ground of Fortune

As the cube drags itself through the drying mud, its path cuts an even sheen into the brown. In later years, when all the water has left for the sky, we can break through the cracked dirt, open it, and discover the blessings underneath.

Catacomb Resident: Futile Philosophy 4

Futile Philosophy 4 (mirrored on archive.org): Futile Philosophy 4 23 October 2021 If you rely on what your senses and reason tell you, you’ll never understand reality. From our human capabilities, we surmise that nature is totally unconcerned about us, if not outright hostile at times. This is false.

Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Ra-Ciel Reincarnation from Ar Nosurge (Ode to an Unborn Star)

I have no idea what this game is about, other than it’s some kind of space opera involving music as a magic system. This song plays during the final boss battle with a huge ship or robot, after which an entire planet is created. Looks like there are multiple endings for this game, not uncommon Wednesday Humpday Midday Song: Ra-Ciel Reincarnation from Ar Nosurge (Ode to an Unborn Star)

Catacomb Resident: Futile Philosophy 3

The subject of the pre-modern view of the supernatural coincides nicely with the most recent post over at History for Atheists, Jesus Mythicism 8: Jesus, History and Miracles. Humean skepticism and falsifiability is so ingrained in how we think that it’s near impossible for even reasonably intelligent people to even conceive that others in the Catacomb Resident: Futile Philosophy 3
