I'm still quite early on in the book, I'm starting to feel really, really stupid. The ghola is here and we understand about the plots to overthrow Paul. We can see cracks in the empire and the criticism of religion in the form of the blind faith that people have in Paul. I understand the overall themes and I love them.

However were I'm up to Paul has just taken a shit load of Spice and had a vision of a falling moon. Ok symbolic.... I get it...but I feel completely lost whenever he starts to have a philosophical debate with Ghola. I've got no clue. ME STARING AT WORDS BUT ME BRAIN NO UNDERSTAND.

• Paul Raged. "What do you know of prescience?"

• "I've seen the oracle at work," the ghola said. "I've seen those who seek signs and omens for their individual destiny. They fear what they seek."

• "My falling moon is real," Paul whispered. He took a trembling breath. "It moves. It moves"........ bla bla bla and then:

• "My moon has a name," Paul whispered.

Mate, you can whisper it or shout it. I've got no clue what the feck you're going on about!

Ok this section is just an example and I can see what the Ghola is getting at. But so much of the book so far just has me stopping and asking, what are you on about!?

I'm finding it really tough going. Do things become clearer? I'm just feeling really thick right now... so stick it to me Dune community of Lemmy.World....am I just too thick to read this book?

Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I'm more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don't know why exactly. It just feels more authentic.

I've played the game since launch for several years. Last three years I've had a bit of a break. I've come back to so much content that I'm quite overwhelmed!

So my question is this. What are you all working towards in game now? What are your goals? What are you enjoying doing in game?

I've decided to try and get my fleet organised as I've never really even looked into that part of the game. Seems like a nice way to make some money and the new freighter redesign looks great! I don't really understand the fleet mechanics at all.

I'm also trying to use the glyph exchange to find a nice exotic ship but I've just spent half an hour sat in a space port so far without the desired ship showing up.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone is up to in game!
