I went to Mass today as part of an assignment on multiculturalism.  Surprisingly pleasant, they're very quick about things.  It was an hour long almost to the minute, and most of it was spent standing up and sitting down while a distractingly beautiful woman sang about Jesus and the usual stuff.  Afterward I talked to the priest who was a real bro.  We talked about literature and he's all "So who's your favorite female American author?"  I couldn't think of one, though in retrospect he was obviously driving at a specific female American Catholic author, Flannery O'Connor.  Thankfully I'd read A Good Man is Hard to Find and really really loved it, so I didn't completely drop the ball, though I was intimidated (I'm always intimidated and introverted around people I feel are better than me)

Good to hear this worked out pleasantly. There are a hundred ways to screw up this sort of stuff and some groups are desperate about it.

 Maryland is where the drivers of the lawless Virginia wasteland go to be dangers to all living things on and off the road

 Ars Magica looks fantastic except for the actual graphics, looks sorta janky. When it stops having such wild incompatibilities with other mods I'll give it a deeper look.

 The map has EE3, but it's only accessible after using Thaumcraft alchemy to frame how much better it is.

 Normally I'm not terribly interested in skyblock maps, primarily because building air structures that look nice is a pain in the ass. Feed The Beast was a nifty idea to give them more of a purpose and introduce a ton of mods, but the dependance on EE2 turned me off. I dislike how EE turns all resources into a universal nebulous currency and those maps depend entirely on that.

 Sky Den is a similar map that uses custom NPC's with custom trades to get all the resources you can't immediately grow. It was actually pretty fun to play. Doesn't even have many mods, primarily Redpower, Thaumcraft 3 and a few small mods like Enchanting Plus, Treecapator and the NPC mod that makes it all possible.

 But really the saving grace of it is giving you the tools for making an automatic cobble harvester the moment you reach the Skyden.

Trickster mode did dual duty as a way to get the kids to their quest beds while also being a cautionary tale against Deus ex Machina.

It was Deus ex Machina, ironically.

 Make yourself a pocket dimension for building your workshop in. I hope you feel ender pearls are enough of a cost for a cool little toy? Major problem is a lack of aura in those places when playing Thaumcraft.

It's almost like other communities can handle having a modding community
