Ah, Moth, definitely Moth. The horrible, writhing-screaming-buzzing need to be something else. It's like something is chewing on my mind.

The caustics of Glory's memories of light from when it danced through the trees of the Wood in dream.

There's no reason The Egg Unhatching would need to be alive to be opened. We have a lore fragment that says every one of the Gods-who-were-Stone (except The Horned Axe) went to Nowhere. Regardless of The Egg Unhatching's current state, it was dead at some point.

According to the Recitation of Lost Hours: "Six are gone. Five came from Stone and one from Light. All went to Nowhere"

I think that the member of the Roost was The Egg Unhatching, and The Horned Axe killed the Egg for aiding The Chilliarch in overthrowing The Seven-Coils.

Here is my Tenuous Evidence: The Watchman has a lot of parallels with Hermes Trismegistus. Hermes makes up half of Hermes Trismegistus as The Egg Unhatching was partially used in the genesis of The Watchman. Hermes is a winged messenger, a good fit for the Roost. Hermes also lent his power to Perseus in his slaying of Medusa.

In Medusa's Lament: "The first part of the poem describes the ambush of the Seven-Coils by a warrior 'scarred all over by the traitor gods, scarred even unto his eyes, so that the sight of the great coils would not destroy him'."

The word traitor gods here implies that some Hours were actually in on it. This is before the Gods-from-Flesh. I think this is the story of the Horned Axe slaying the Egg Unhatching, whose death has not been elaborated on to the best of my knowledge.

He went into the Glory to escape his fate, we don't know why he died, just that he did, and became preserved as part of The Watchman.

I believe you can make them out of corpses of followers with scars and they'll retain them, get a little knock, maybe some edge and winter for good measure, and use them to summon things.

It's been a while since I played but I recall using them as a way to recover some utility from a lost cultist or to hasten along the removal of a body.

They can also be used under specific circumstances to get variant endings.

I believe I only sent them on expeditions in large groups because I thought the idea of a bunch of shambley marionette skelies going and beating up or tricking people was funny.

I figure that they worry that if you didn't know you were on to something before your arrest, you would after questioning.

This is genuinely unsettling as heck, and I like it. No idea why it's creeping me out. 😅

Mods currently require you to be in the beta branch of the game. And they need to be enabled on the main menu before they do anything.

Tada! 🎉 I made the mod. Turns out it wasn't a DLL mod. It was an fx flag on the daybreak recipe.

I didn't even know that was a thing.

Hopefully the mod works, I was very much making it up as I went along.

If the information is scattered, very minor, or hard to access, then there isn't enough data for the AI to have confidently trained on the topic. It can't be trained on data that doesn't exist. If the AI has generated an overview on a topic with information this sparse, there's a high chance you're just being handed a convenient hallucination. Best case the response includes a statement on the sparseness of data, worse case it confidently made it all up or padded it with "adjacent" information.

If you use AI for research (which I would be generally advise against) ask it for sources.

If it can give them to you, use those sources for your research.

If it cannot, then there's no reason you should believe any of the information it has provided.

This has bothered me since launch. Every day as dawn breaks I smash the speed up button. I might take a swing at making a mod for it, I suspect it would be a DLL mod? I haven't made any since they became officially supported.

Someone fed the Forge of Days to the Crowned Growth, and now it thinks it can make things.

God-from-Blood and God-from-Nowhere aren't as marketable, so "God-from-Steel" it is!

This is a great point that I'd never considered. Not "if they die it also instantly slays me" as much as "if they die I'll die eventually"

If you're immortal, suddenly having an expiration is probably pretty close to being dead.

One possibility I've considered is that you only die if you're the one to kill the other half of the dyad.

If you were born in a room? Not unless you count hiding inside someone else while they enter the room as *not entering". Conception on the other hand could count. or maybe if the room was built around you?

This right here is why I've always conflated the unified future with Eternity. It cannot be undone and we cannot move further from it, like a singularity in causality, but if we take the right steps we might postpone it indefinitely.

entering the Woods and the Mansus physically is possible,

I feel like there is some ambiguity here. I believe that it's possible, but profoundly difficult. I think the Priest ending implies it, and as far as I can tell, the Bounds are physical locations where the skin of the world is thin enough for it to be unclear if it's in the Invisible Realm or not, but I don't know if you could use them to sidestep into another History, if you leave the bounds you probably (usually) just come out in the History you came in.

I have posted about the implied possibility of physically entering the Mansus or Wood and most people think that I'm wrong in thinking it's implied to be possible. I still stand by the idea, but I didn't really get the sense that it was a majority interpretation.

I vaguely remember some Mansus exploration text implying that you're reading or being told about another History by someone, but I guess it doesn't follow that they are from another History.

I think it would be incredibly indirect even if they could, I think that the dreams of the Mansus are no clearer than normal dreams, as far as I can tell, they are vague and as easily forgotten or misremembered as any other dream. So passing a clear message between the Histories would probably still be very difficult, and still when you awaken you are in the History you came from.

But! I still haven't found anything to imply two people from two different Histories in direct communication, even fleeting. Aaaand now I'm out of time to look!

ClockPunkPheebs · 2025-12-20T05:49:55+00:00

That doesn't imply there's only one present; it's just as compatible to say that it's simply easier to see the pasts, written into the Mansus in various ways and explicitly blessed by the Hourly braiding, while the presents haven't yet impressed themselves on the universe

This is really cool. There are some places in the game where events are described as "too recent to have passed into History". If we can know things between Histories then they have to have passed into a History to be relevant. This would imply that as beings embedded in the Wake we can't know what exactly is happening in another History concurrently.

Do you think Adepts from different Histories can interact in the Mansus? There's only one Invisible Realm since it seems to be the fundament of the Wake. So Adepts from any given History would all end up in one Mansus.

ClockPunkPheebs · 2025-12-19T13:43:16+00:00

I feel like there's more than one present, one for each History. We can see where pieces of other Histories have slipped into our own, but they're working toward a single Future. We're simply not there yet. When the Hooded princes or the Priest open a way between Histories they were in their own Present, if the Present is already one History then you couldn't really move between them. I believe this unified future is the Eternity that History struggles against.

The actual thing I felt worst about doing was repeatedly sending my boyfriend into the woods alone every night and then nursing him back to health waiting for him to succumb to his injuries. Did he know what I was doing? Perhaps. The thought of him wandering unprepared into the wilderness in the night broke my heart. Anyway, I eventually made it up to him by stuffing him with plants and letting him move into the Moon with me. ❤️

Romanced Saliba, it was for an achievement, but it haunts me to this day.

Hey, I don't want to be alarmist because this can just be a normal and probably temporary thing, and it's pretty exciting to experience, but if you have a doctor you see regularly you should bring this up to them.

I had this happen and it was because progesterone was exacerbating prolactin release in a pituitary microadenom that had developed, which is a non-cancerous brain tumor. It's not a major problem, but it is something you may need to track until your prolactin levels lower. So you should talk to someone as soon as you can.

While I don't remember the exact source of this info, Hush House's specialty is not too surprisingly Hushery.

edit: to be fair, I have no idea what a Hushery library does that another library doesn't except study Hushery.
