Yes, I believe that's a part of it. Just the act of formulating "this is a problem that I don't know how to solve, please help" sometimes starts some kind of problem solving of my own.

But another thing that "atheistic prayer" does for me is that if/when that thing happens, I'm more likely to notice it. And a problem dissolving by itself, or due to someone helping me, is something I really want to notice.

"There's just us". It's frightening. It's inspiring. Sometimes it's comforting.

Fascinating. I do too, in a way - I find it helps to think about what help I need, in a way that is quite prayer-like (I believe ). For me, it's a way of reminding myself that I don't have to fix everything myself, not even in my own life. Sometimes good things happen for no reason.

Surely, Baba Is You is horrible and awful! By which I mean very good. And either unreasonably hard or maybe I'm stupid. Avoid at all costs!

Yeah. I approve of the idea of shooters where the intended audience is my 78 year old mum though

I'm sorry, I agree with you.

[-] owl@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you. I really appreciate what you're trying to build and the work you do. I'm impressed

The Moomin series, perhaps? Went over the head of my children, but I thoroughly enjoy them myself. Especially the later ones, which are rather melancholic

Grumpy old men FTW! Together we will be less grumpy... I hope

It's a good one for sure! I'll put a link too in the hope of luring some more people in Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

Also, I forgot to mention Acoustic Wizard, the equally awesome EW cover band

Lemmies, please, and let's keep the other Lemmy in our thoughts whenever we say it

Sleep and (old) Grand Magus, heck yeah! What do you think of Electric Wizard, if I might ask? Dopethrone is the heaviest album of all time, in my unimportant opinion.
