Morally neutral drug use

Many people talk about the fact that using weed or any kind of drug is a sin. It’s not a sin in and of itself, it’s considered sinful because it is breaking a neutral law.

The basic premise is that one must follow the law of the land. If tomorrow the United Stated declared drinking alcohol illegal, it would be considered a sin to drink.

Because the law is not a moral good or moral bad, it shouldn’t be broken.

That also means that it’s not a mortal sin to smoke weed, just venial. What does this mean? Confession is optional.

Mortal Sin - Terminal Reward

You'd think a game that looks like this

would be an asset flip with a filter over it and it kind of is to a degree but it features shockingly complex attack combo and dismemberment systems that together single-handedly make it worth playing.

I won't lie and say that the few same levels and rooms don't get old after a bit but there's a dozen or so classes that all play completely differently and just killing stuff is fun enough. Kind of a basic roguelite but you play it for the combat, not the progression. I would highly recommend if you like stuff like ultrakill.

this week i picked up an early access title called Mortal Sin, on a complete whim really, but it turned out to be one of the most refreshing roguelikes i've played in quite a while. it's good stuff!

a lot of the foundational stuff is basic hack-n-slash dungeon crawler tropes. you pick a class, go through several floors of a randomly generated dungeon mowing down skellingtons or whatnot, grab some items and upgrades and all that... par for the course in this genre, nothing we haven't already seen.

what really sets this game apart for me is the combat system, which is at once really simple and yet deceptively engaging. you have a few basic verbs in combat - swing your weapon, kick, bash with your shield/pommel, and guard/parry. then you can weave these together into a small but robust set of combos: a kick followed by an attack leads to a forward thrusting attack, a bash followed by an attack triggers a slow but powerful swing, et cetera. so you can already be quite expressive in gameplay just by messing around with the various combos, a bit like a character-action game almost.

but on top of that, the game has a variety of mechanics for making combat feel really smooth, fluid, and satisfyingly heavy. the game makes fantastic use of hitstop animation and sound design to make hard-hitting weapons feel nice and thuddy, giving a real sense of weight to combat. you're also given the chance to animation-cancel your attacks and flow straight into your next move if you time your inputs to happen right at the moment of impact, meaning you're rewarded for thoughtful play more than just button-mashing.

finally, the combat system makes use of a limb-severing system reminiscent of Dead Space, of all things; enemies take more damage and are incapacitated in specific ways if you target their arms, legs, head, et cetera. so you've got the added dimension of really wanting to pay attention to where you're aiming your attacks, which is genuinely a bit unusual for melee mechanics in first-person games like these.

it's not a perfect game by any means - and besides, it's still in Early Access, so i don't really want to drop any kind of definitive verdict at this stage. but i thought it'd be fun to highlight this little gem i stumbled upon the other day, given that it's doing some really fun and fresh things with the genre. plus, look at that wild aesthetic! this game certainly has a look to it, huh?

Mortal Sin has one of the coolest aesthetics.

Diary Entry #1

I am a Catholic woman who is by all means NOT a perfect child of God.

This diary is not to portray myself as one but to ask questions and write down my thoughts as I am on this continuous spiritual journey and maybe other people can relate.

I am not a Catholic role model.

I converted to Catholicism back in 2018. It was the best decision I have ever made as I love the Catholic Church and it's teachings, but throughout the years, I have sinned, confessed, and sinned again to the point where yes, I still love my faith, but it doesn't do well to play back and forth with God or Mother Church (even though I always get a nudge from the Holy Spirit - which means God never gives up on us no matter how much we sin or turn away - He is always there), and so I ceased going to Mass even though I have a desire or an urge from God to do so, I have the nudge or urge to pray and I fail to do so, and overall became a lazy Catholic and feeling that if I can't go all the way and not even try, then what is the point.

Is it okay to pray the rosary in a state or mortal sin? I pondered this yesterday as I had the urge to pray the rosary as I was starting to make the habit of praying everyday. I debated whether to pray or not because of all my sin and my knowing that I will continue to sin. I looked online and I read something that stood out to me. It went around the lines of that there are two types of rosary prayers: Those that pray everyday and continue to reap the benefits of it and those who cease because of their sins. I think I convinced myself not to pray by looking that up on Google, but, what is the point if all I am going to do is sin again. Though I wouldn't necessarily cared and would pray anyway, the mind is a dangerous weapon that the enemy can play with. We can get to that in another entry. I haven't been to confession in a while or Mass. I want to be a better Catholic and child of God. So, I ask that whoever is reading this, my fellow Catholics, to please pray for me.

And if you can relate to this, I would like to know! Let's help each other out!
