Wish and Horrors

[Wrana]

even if human history is quite rough, the normal life was usually guided by the social rules of living peacefull together.

or, "peace is an abstraction we draw from the fact that there were short stints between wars".
Normal life was & is guided by the purpose of society's survival. And this has little in common with all-encompassing value of peace... Of course, anarchism didn't take this into account, so anarchists & those close to them thought that individuals can think out & bring about an eternal peace unobstructed by evil of governments...

The Vastness in Dominions is clearly inspired by Yog-Soloth, one of the Outer Gods of Lovecraft, but is not as openly hostile as some of Lovecraft's other lovelies like Cthulhu. Obviously, Yog-Soloth is way more powerful than anything in Dominions short of the Pantokrators themselves, so the Vastnesses can only be aspects of Yog-Soloth. I am curious to whether Yog-Soloth can have conflicting sides to its 'personality'...

They only seem like conflicts to our pathetically limited human comprehension. One of Lovecraft's underlying themes is that most human conceits simply don't apply in the universe at large.

Is that conceits or concepts?

[Sombre]

Either works.

[Sombre]

Is that works or functions?

In this context, I prefer "conceit", because it implies our arrogant and usually unfounded confidence that we're correct.

The community of this game is so damn awesome ^^ - I mean - have you ever seen the fans of any console fast paced shoot-em-up, compose aikus and poetry about their favourite game; or start talking about one of the endless lesser aspects of the game mechanics and end up talking about religion, theology, the inconsistence of the "good" and "evil" dualism...? ^^ simply GREAT
