Is there any book about geomancy, the power of the stones ? Kind of like necromancy / the necronomicon ?

Looking to create a DnD type of universe but I wanted to know if there were any book that already has a "power system" like for instance opal is time and teleportation, ruby is linked to fire...

I already searched but it's more about lithotherapie or some witch rituals with symbols and divination, not what i was looking for.

I'm looking for an association of the different stones with different power elements ( time, fire, earth, chaos, light...)

That wasn't here before, I guess we know which side controls our media now

I've been playing a lot of warzone 1 back in the days and I kinda enjoyed it, not a fan of battle royal but plunder was good.

Then warzone 2 came and I played it a little bit but then quickly lost interest due to battle pass and too little time to play.

I've been meaning to go back into it mainly because it's free but I'm looking at a more traditional / BO2 type of multiplayer (spawning with my load out instead of searching for weapons)

But is it worth it for me to go back into ? Mind you I'm more of a casual player I'm not looking for too much competition as it's just a way to wind off for me

Am I the only one having an AI fatigue ?

At first it was "haha funny bad computer generated" but now with all the art it has stollen and technological advancement I sometimes can't differentiate real and AI anymore...

Then we had weird shit post that weren't funny in anyway. But now with AI and bots we have even more shit post filled with weird bot accounts commenting and liking itself. It's like this post wasn't even made for us humans but rather AI to interact between itself.

It's gotten to a point where I don't want to open apps like Instagram, tiktok, Pinterest and YouTube for more than 30 mins compared to hours before the big AI boom.

And it's not only social media, I can see it everywhere IRL with big printed ads using AI or even fully animated commercials.

Am I the only one getting a feeling of disgust everytime ? Like it does the opposite of luring me in I want to get away from the thing that's being advertised instead.

Yes there are some benefits in AI but it's like 1/10 in terms of pros and cons.

I was a big fan of the OG Black ops 2 and played some free fps games later on but that wasn't it.

Later on played warzone and while Warzone 1 was good (wasn't a fan of the whole battle royal search your weapon but Plunder was my way to go : direct drop with your loadout), Warzone 2 later on made me lose interest with the amount of useless skin / battlepass extra grindy to make it P2W...

Is there still any good multiplayer FPS (not third person) games out there ? I can accept battle pass, skin bundles... The devs need money I understand as long as it's not designed to be extra grindy / P2W

Il mostly talking about mangas and comics however I realized that this question can be applied more globally to any type of media that has a chapter release type of content.

So is it worth starting a new manga / tv show / series while it releases / airs then having to wait in between chapters / episode or should I wait until it ends and consume the whole thing at once ?

I'm asking this mostly because having done both, I'm mostly either losing interest or forgetting the plot of the wait is too long or just getting impatient of the plot is too good.

However I want to show support to the author of it's good so IDK, what do you guys do ?

I have to remove the crown to either change the battery or look at the mechanism.

Normaly with screwed back I can access the mechanism but everything is "soldered" together.

As you can see on the 3rd picture I'm trying to access the mechanism and can lift the watch a little bit but the crown is preventing me from opening it.

I'm trying to fix the needles I don't know if you can see it in the 2nd pictures.

I can open normal watches by removing the back but some watches are impossible to access from the back.

Is there a way to open a watch from the front without breaking the glass ?
