VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 163-169)

Image
This week I continued the Winds of Change content, making it through cleansing the rest of the areas near Kaineng. I struggled a lot on Shing Jea Island, though, both in Minister Cho's Estate (where some bad build decisions complicated my efforts) and massively in Haiju Lagoon. I spent a lot of episodes this week trying out various builds to try and conquer that particular quest, and they were longer than normal, too. The buildcrafting process is one I personally find really engaging, so the recording times felt shorter than the episodes actually are. A sign of a well-crafted system, but perhaps the videos are a bit long, heh.

Pardon My Dust

Hey whoever! I'm currently in the process of revamping things here at Sientir.com, away from the old Google Sites page to a Blogger page, which is probably an upgrade? Anyway, check the description for what I intend this to be. If, for whatever reason, you wanted to visit the old Google Sites page, it can be found here .

Geekdom of God Ep. 13 - The Wrath of God

Image
In this episode, I talk about the source of God's wrath. Why does it exist? I also try something new with some of the color highlighting in this episode. I'm trying out color-coding specific concepts within this episode (rather than globally, beyond just this episode). In this case, I've highlighted things related to wrath in red and the creator-creation relationship in green. There are also some choices that I've made blue. Please let me know what you think of this concept in general! Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 156-162)

I started off this week by being a bit uncertain about what I wanted to do. I eventually decided that I wanted to continue working on filling out my Young Heroes of Tyria book, then return to Winds of Change content. And, of course, I continued the Fury 3 Let's Play!

Geekdom of God Ep. 12 - Top 5 Overlooked Bible Verses

Image
Today is a bit of an experiment! I thought it'd be interesting to come up with a list of Bible verses that I feel get overlooked. I'd love to hear your own list, if you have one, in the comments below! Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

This week on VOD of Consciousness I finished the Wayfarer's Reverie, finally read the Hero's Handbook (which summarizes the Eye of the North story) and showed off one of the four Bonus Mission Pack missions. I wanted a fancy new spear to make into a Zealous spear, and the one I wanted came from completing Saul D'Alessio's story. Oh, and of course I continued the Fury3 Let's Play.

Geekdom of God Ep. 11 - Christian Nationalism - A Modern Day Heresy

Image
In this episode, I talk about a heresy I'm calling Christian Nationalism. This heresy focuses on trying to build an earthly Christian nation, which comes with many pitfalls. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

This week I finished Eye of the North's story. I also had a couple of extremely long episodes as I tried to stuff the Wayfarer's Reverie into one week. I ended up not being able to do that, so there are going to be a bunch of (shorter) Wayfarer's Reverie videos next week as well! I also continued the Fury3 Let's Play, of course.

Geekdom of God Ep. 10 - Staying on the Path: Turning Neither to the Left Nor to the Right

Image
This week's episode well perhaps be a difficult one for some. I create a metaphor to consider the Old Testament saying of being obedient to God, turning aside neither to the right nor to the left. I then examine this metaphor by using it to talk about sexuality. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

This week I was able to finish the Asuran part of the Eye of the North storyline, which is pretty exciting to have accomplished. Of course, I also got to part three of the Fury3 Let's Play. I'm enjoying doing that.
