So I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before on here before that like, I created this comm in a fit of depression and drinking and continued to post to distract myself from everything. This and a pair of group chats I had with a load of trans socialists were my two outlets and I quite liked getting notifications from people on here in response to my posts. Anyway recently I'd been feeling quite good and happy, I'd largely stopped drinking, I'd finalised cutting myself away from transphobic former friends, was learning more vegan recipes and was looking at joining an org, I was going home to see my family and stuff so like, I stopped posting here. Anyway, I've been feeling down again these last two days or so so like I think I'll start posting here again i guess.
Anyway, I'm kind of up and down in general so like if you like this sub and want to like see it thrive or whatever consider posting your own stuff here too. Now I'll see what Garfield stuff I had saved and post that here too.
So, at some point going up the tiers mapping (I wanna say around yellow maps) you gain the ability to activate influence from the Eater of Worlds or the Searing Exarch via the map device. In maps where this influence is turned on, there's a small chance upon killing certain enemies for a "shrine" to appear with two options as an object in the world. You can only pick one of the two, but every single option comes with one upside (final boss drops an additional div card, eldritch minions have an 2% chance to drop chromatic orbs, etc) and one downside (nearby enemies gain 100% of damage as cold, take damage over time when using a flask, etc). Numbers and exact items are just examples and can vary widely.
When the downside is trivial to deal with (like increased damage taken when you're pretty tanky) and the upside is lit, like increased quantity of items in the map, that's a Garf right there!
