[Spoilers] Dune Messiah. Am I too stupid to understand it?
  • Thank you so much for the recommendation! I feel quite well read but with some passages I feel like I'm learning English for the first time. Like I know the words, I've seen these words before. But in this combo I've got no idea haha

  • [Spoilers] Dune Messiah. Am I too stupid to understand it?
  • Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I really hadn't thought about it before from this perspective. I'm enjoying the theme of the story, it's just like I said I find some of the individual conversations tough to get my head around

  • [Spoilers] Dune Messiah. Am I too stupid to understand it?

    I'm still quite early on in the book, I'm starting to feel really, really stupid. The ghola is here and we understand about the plots to overthrow Paul. We can see cracks in the empire and the criticism of religion in the form of the blind faith that people have in Paul. I understand the overall themes and I love them.

    However were I'm up to Paul has just taken a shit load of Spice and had a vision of a falling moon. Ok symbolic.... I get it...but I feel completely lost whenever he starts to have a philosophical debate with Ghola. I've got no clue. ME STARING AT WORDS BUT ME BRAIN NO UNDERSTAND.

    • Paul Raged. "What do you know of prescience?"

    • "I've seen the oracle at work," the ghola said. "I've seen those who seek signs and omens for their individual destiny. They fear what they seek."

    • "My falling moon is real," Paul whispered. He took a trembling breath. "It moves. It moves"........ bla bla bla and then:

    • "My moon has a name," Paul whispered.

    Mate, you can whisper it or shout it. I've got no clue what the feck you're going on about!

    Ok this section is just an example and I can see what the Ghola is getting at. But so much of the book so far just has me stopping and asking, what are you on about!?

    I'm finding it really tough going. Do things become clearer? I'm just feeling really thick right now... so stick it to me Dune community of Lemmy.World....am I just too thick to read this book?

    Hello! What is everyone working on in game right now?
  • Wow I thought I'd played a decent chunk with my 200 hours. That's amazing bud. You got any general tips? There are just so many things to focus on. I'm going to try and build up my fleet a little to have some more passive income. It's a gorgeous game. I can easily see myself sinking 1500 hours into the game. The soundtrack alone is enough to keep me engaged.

  • Hello! What is everyone working on in game right now?
  • That sounds like a big project. Are there any building limits around a structure that big? If you can work it into your build I'm sure it will be pretty awesome. You will have to post some pictures of your progress

  • Hello! What is everyone working on in game right now?
  • Mate, I've got about 200 hours into the game and I still don't really know what I'm doing. Keep following that quest as it really helps! I would say that there are lots of good money making methods out there. You can play the market and have a decent ship sooner than you think. If I remember correctly it might be more of a faff to fix up an a class. It might require a few things that are harder to find.

    Have you built a base yet? They're also really useful and I think fleets are a good money maker too. Don't worry about buying a freighter as you will get a chance to get one much more easily.

  • Guide/Starships: How to find starships, including crashed ships and interceptors
  • Thank you for this. In all honesty it's cleared up a few doubts I've had for a long time. Can updates also change if ships show up at all? That is to say if I find a nice ship from a few months ago might it still turn up or is it a no go?

  • Hello! What is everyone working on in game right now?

    Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I'm more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don't know why exactly. It just feels more authentic.

    I've played the game since launch for several years. Last three years I've had a bit of a break. I've come back to so much content that I'm quite overwhelmed!

    So my question is this. What are you all working towards in game now? What are your goals? What are you enjoying doing in game?

    I've decided to try and get my fleet organised as I've never really even looked into that part of the game. Seems like a nice way to make some money and the new freighter redesign looks great! I don't really understand the fleet mechanics at all.

    I'm also trying to use the glyph exchange to find a nice exotic ship but I've just spent half an hour sat in a space port so far without the desired ship showing up.

    Looking forward to hearing what everyone is up to in game!
