I notice that it fills up, and then,after combat, it goes back down again. I'm probably asking a dumb question, but I'm just not sure what it is. Is it some sort of Stamina bar? At beginning it runs great, no problems at all. Then I've try to install language pack and tweak some options in Adrenaline software on my RX 4Gb version to increase the performance, also trying to locked FPS through "-freq 60" because for now I have Buyaga Dodzyo.

Thor invites the peasant family who own the farm to share with him the meal he has prepared, but warns them not to break the bones. They continue through the woods until dark. The four seek shelter for the night. They encounter an immense building. Finding shelter in a side room, they experience earthquakes through the night. The earthquakes cause all four but Thor, who grips his hammer in preparation of defense, to be fearful.
The building turns out to be the huge glove of Skrymir, who has been snoring throughout the night, causing what seemed to be earthquakes. All four sleep beneath an oak tree near Skrymir in fear. The four travelers continue their journey until midday. They find themselves facing a massive castle in an open area. The castle is so tall that they must bend their heads back to their spines to see above it.
At the entrance to the castle is a shut gate, and Thor finds that he cannot open it. Struggling, all four squeeze through the bars of the gate, and continue to a large hall. Inside the great hall are two benches, where many generally large people sit on two benches. Loki, standing in the rear of the party, is the first to speak, claiming that he can eat faster than anyone. A trencher is fetched, placed on the floor of the hall, and filled with meat.
Loki and Logi sit down on opposing sides. The two eat as quickly as they can and meet at the midpoint of the trencher. Loki consumed all of the meat off of the bones on his side, yet Logi had not only consumed his meat, but also the bones and the trencher itself. It was evident to all that Loki had lost. Thor agrees to compete in a drinking contest but after three immense gulps fails.
Thor agrees to lift a large, gray cat in the hall but finds that it arches his back no matter what he does, and that he can raise only a single paw. Thor demands to fight someone in the hall, but the inhabitants say doing so would be demeaning, considering Thor's weakness. The two wrestle but the harder Thor struggles the more difficult the battle becomes. Thor is finally brought down to a single knee.
The next morning the group gets dressed and prepares to leave the keep. In reality, Thor's blows were so powerful that they had resulted in three square valleys. The contests, too, were an illusion. The old woman Thor wrestled was in fact old age Elli , Old Norse 'old age' , and there is no one that old age cannot bring down. Only a wide landscape remains.
Loki is mentioned in stanza 13 of the Norwegian rune poem in connection with the Younger FutharkBjarkanrune:. According to Bruce Dickins, the reference to 'Loki's deceit' in the poem 'is doubtless to Loki's responsibility for Balder's death. In , a semi-circular flat stone featuring a depiction of a mustachioed face was discovered on a beach near Snaptun, Denmark. Made of soapstone that originated in Norway or Sweden, the depiction was carved around the year CE and features a face with scarred lips.
The stone is identified as a hearth stone; the nozzle of the bellows would be inserted into the hole in the front of the stone, and the air produced by the bellows pushed flame through the top hole, all the while the bellows were protected from the heat and flame. The stone may point to a connection between Loki and smithing and flames.
A fragmentary late 10th-century cross located in St Stephen's Church, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, England, features a bound figure with horns and a beard. This figure is sometimes theorized as depicting the bound Loki.
A depiction of a similarly horned and round-shouldered figure was discovered in Gainford, County Durham and is now housed in the Durham Cathedral Library.
The midth century Gosforth Cross has been interpreted as featuring various figures from Norse mythology and, like the Kirkby Stephen Stone, is also located in Cumbria. The bottom portion of the west side of the cross features a depiction of a long-haired female, kneeling figure holding an object above another prostrate, bound figure.
Above and to their left is a knotted serpent. This has been interpreted as Sigyn soothing the bound Loki. The notion of Loki survived into the modern period in the folklore of Scandinavia. In Denmark, Loki appeared as Lokke. In his study of Loki's appearance in Scandinavian folklore in the modern period, Danish folklorist Axel Olrik cites numerous examples of natural phenomena explained by way of Lokke in popular folk tradition, including rising heat.
An example from reads as follows:. And in Thy, from the same source: ' Olrik detects three major themes in folklore attestations; Lokke appeared as an 'air phenomenon', connected with the 'home fire', and as a 'teasing creature of the night'. The tale notably features Loki as a benevolent god in this story, although his slyness is in evidence as usual.
Regarding scholarship on Loki, scholar Gabriel Turville-Petre comments that 'more ink has been spilled on Loki than on any other figure in Norse myth. This, in itself, is enough to show how little scholars agree, and how far we are from understanding him.
Loki's origins and role in Norse mythology have been much debated by scholars. In , Jacob Grimm was first to produce a major theory about Loki, in which he advanced the notion of Loki as a 'god of fire'.
In , Sophus Bugge theorized Loki to be variant of Lucifer of Christianity, an element of Bugge's larger effort to find a basis of Christianity in Norse mythology. After World War II, four scholarly theories dominated. In , Jan de Vries theorized that Loki is a typical example of a trickster figure. In , by way of excluding all non-Scandinavian mythological parallels in her analysis, Anna Birgitta Rooth concluded that Loki was originally a spider.
Anne Holtsmark, writing in , concluded that no conclusion could be made about Loki. While many scholars agree with this identification, it is not universally accepted.
The scholar John Lindow highlights the recurring pattern of the bound monster in Norse mythology as being particularly associated to Loki. Loki and his three children by Angrboda were all bound in some way, and were all destined to break free at Ragnarok to wreak havoc on the world.
He suggests a borrowed element from the traditions of the Caucasus region, and identifies a mythological parallel with the 'Christian legend of the bound Antichrist awaiting the Last Judgment'.
In the 19th century, Loki was depicted in a variety of ways, some strongly at odds with others. According to Stefan Arvidssen, 'the conception of Loki varied during the nineteenth century. Sometimes he was presented as a dark-haired Semitic fifth columnist among the Nordic Aesir, but sometimes he was described as a Nordic Prometheus, a heroic bearer of culture'.
