I’m having so much fun creating the cells for Veil of the Gods. I forget to post them for you to see. Sorry.

Seth (Set), son of Geb (Earth) and Nut (sky), brother of Osiris, was god of the desert, foreign lands, thunderstorms, eclipses, and earthquakes. Seth was a powerful and often frightening deity, however he was also a patron god of the pharaohs, particularly Ramses the Great. He protected the dead on the way to the Afterlife.In Egyptian mythology, Seth killed Osiris in an attempt to become the ruler of Egypt, however Osiris and Isis’s son, Horus, defeated Seth in combat. Seth then was adopted by the sun god Ra. He became the thunder in the sky and protected Ra from the chaos serpent Apophis during the sun’s nightly travel through the underworld. While Seth has been depicted in a variety of animal forms, he is usually depicted as a dog-like animal with a forked tail, called the “Seth animal.” Seth “The God Of Chaos” Talon ABRAXAS

Video games employ two basic motivations to keep players engaged. These are termed Extrinsic motivation and Intrinsic motivation. Games based on, or balanced in favour of, Intrinsic motivation keep you engaged because playing the game is a lot of fun. The entertainment value you get from the game is enough reward in itself. Extrinsic games are designed around the drive to earn lootboxes. Extrinsic games are intentionally designed to be addictive. They specifically exploit the human brain’s tendency toward gambling addiction. This is why people who play extrinsic games tend to suffer higher rates of depression than people who play Intrinsic games. With Extrinsic games there's always a feeling of withdrawal as soon as the players can’t play the game. Now, I want you to consider how much things would change if we, the players, all ignored the Extrinsic motivations that arise when we play the game of life and focused a bit more on the Intrinsic experience...
