“There’s just us”. It’s frightening. It’s inspiring. Sometimes it’s comforting.

Fascinating. I do too, in a way - I find it helps to think about what help I need, in a way that is quite prayer-like (I believe ). For me, it’s a way of reminding myself that I don’t have to fix everything myself, not even in my own life. Sometimes good things happen for no reason.
Surely, Baba Is You is horrible and awful! By which I mean very good. And either unreasonably hard or maybe I’m stupid. Avoid at all costs!
Maybe using magic involves travelling to and learning to navigate another, even more fantastical place? Such as spirit magic, or dream magic, or travelling to the land of the dead? I think it would be interesting if learning magic also involved getting to know the people of this other domain (such as acquiring a “spirit guide”, or making bargains, or learning a language even). Anything from Spirited Away to Hellraiser could serve as an inspiration
Boooo!
Lemmies, please, and let’s keep the other Lemmy in our thoughts whenever we say it
Yes, I believe that’s a part of it. Just the act of formulating “this is a problem that I don’t know how to solve, please help” sometimes starts some kind of problem solving of my own.
But another thing that “atheistic prayer” does for me is that if/when that thing happens, I’m more likely to notice it. And a problem dissolving by itself, or due to someone helping me, is something I really want to notice.
