Hemp seeds are okay. I'm already doing exactly what you suggest, but with flax seeds (since those also have those omega oils). Not sure which is considered 'better'.

Still a problem for me. But I think cholesterol levels are like, 80% genetic. I've known people with terrible diets and excellent cholesterol.

I'm also allergic to nuts, so I might be missing some of the 'plant based diet' benefits by not getting those oils.

I think controller is only 'necessary' for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I'd prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.

Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board

I'm talking about the stuttering, caused primarily not recalculating shaders. Something I just dealt with the entirety of my first playthrough of ER. But the fact that it still isn't fixed really makes me not want to play, or to pay them money.

I mean, that's the point of Dune? The 'prophesies' aren't real, they're seeded by the Bene Gesserit, the same group that spent millennia breeding the 'savior'. And, he's not meant to really be a savior, but their catspaw.

But also, he's definitely not actually a savior, on account of all the death he brings. It's complicated, but overall a deconstruction of white savior narratives and similar stories.

Yeah, I'm holding off for a sale on this one. I liked Elden Ring well enough, but the performance issues are infuriating. Baffling that it still isn't fixed.

Short answer: read Jack Vance's 'tales of a dying earth'. It's the reason dnd magic is called 'vancian'.

Longer answer: in that series, magic works by just remembering words, and then saying them. But these magic words are powerful things, weighty in the mind, hard to carry. And, when said, they tear themselves out of your mind, causing you to forget them.

So, not 'spell slots' per se, but the idea is you're prepping spells almost as a 'potion', something you carry in your mind, and consume to cast out a spell.
