I keep getting these targetted ads on insta about this book and many like it. Has anyone read it? Is it an actual good book to start?

With some content creators on pawchive (though I see that this also happens with other patreon posts on the site) they appear as to have updated, but they have no attachments, no links or videos or anything. Why is that? Are they not updating correctly?

I have read some of the most popular Ancient Greek texts we have available. The Illiad, The odyssey, The Theogony, The Oresteia, among others. And I have always wondered, how much of what these ancient Greeks wrote (if they even existed-looking at you Homer) actually reflect how life was for them? How much of what we have read is an actual reflection of their life, and how much of it was just their own personal thoughts and beliefs?

For example, in the final play of the Oresteia, The Eumenides, the judgement of Orestes is decided on his favor by an argument of Apollo, stating that his mother was not his real family. That she was simply the soil for his fathers seed to grow. That the real effort laid with his father Agamemnon, thus marking him as his actual family and the parent worth avenging, thus making Orestes matricide just. This is the argument Athena supports in the end.

This leaves me with a big question: was this sort of mentality, one that condemns the mother as inferior to the father, popular in ancient Greece? Where women really only worth the amount and quality of male children they could produce. I admit, i am not overly familiar with Greek history, so I could be wrong, but aren't this texts akin to detailed descriptions of the ancient Greek world and its beliefs? How much of these plays and epics and tragedies just the personal visions and thoughts of their authors, and how much of it was the reality of their time?

And just how can we tell them apart?

We learn early on that Hao is the most powerful shaman in modern history, not just due to his massive mana amount, but also do to him being a master onmyōji and having "mastered the pentagram", AKA the five elements that compose the world. What I would like to know is, what do you guys think he can do as a master of these elements? We have already seen that Hao can transmute the spirit of fire into another element, but do you guys think he can do this without a spirit? Could he go full avatar and start throwing around elemental power against his opponents? What do you guys think Hao should be capable of doing as a master of all the elements?

Since this is the most basic shamanic ability, I was wondering where exactly the limits are of what you can obtain from a spirit. For example, if Yoh made soul integration with Mitchell Hooper, could he lift the same as Hooper did in life despite not being as old or as fit as him?

Could he integrate with a sea creature and suddenly breath underwater? What are the limitations regarding soul integration?

Just as the tittle says: How does the dimensional arts introduced in the sequel series work? Do the shamans actually enter a new spacial dimension in the universe, or do they enter a new dimension WITHIN the great spirit?

Ever since the the game with france began, Hugo introduced this introduced this concept of playing the second best. Hugos ego is all about suitability. Doing what you are meant to do according to your talents and skills, so in turn he mentions thus idea as some sort of support role. Howevet I still dobt quite get what this role/idea actually means. What does being the second best actually entail and why does Hugo think this is the key element blue lock is missing?

I recently got the Assassins Creed Black Flag game through my subscription on ps plus for free. I also bought the season pass and aveline dlc seperately and while the dlc content was aviable as soon as i installed it, the content of the season pass was missing. I could not find it anywhere. Not the kraken ship addons, not the extra missions, not the multiplayer extra content, nothing.

Do i need to fully purchase the game for me to see that content or is that not something free ps plus games have to worry about when buying their dlcs seperately?

Has anyone else suffered this issue?
