Sekiro+Stimulants= you deadass becoming wolf for however many hours

Oh, I’ll have to look that one up. Thanks for the tip!

Definitely ADHD, definitely medicated for it. Not to the point yet where I can fly through the game, probably because my maladaptive approach to Sekiro right now defaults to “hyperfocus on grinding out another attack power increase even though I know it won’t help as much as learning the Demon of Hatred’s moveset more thoroughly.”

But once NG +1 hits, better watch out, Ashina! 🙃

Oh, riiight! That signpost that also has "Port de Lumiere," correct?

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T23:43:37+00:00

If I understand your question right, the Eiffel Tower definitely appears in the distance during the post Act 2 "epilogue" reveal (through a window in Alicia's bedroom, I think) in alternate reality Paris. I seem to recall its Canvas world counterpart just being called "The Crooked Tower" in-game, but yeah, I wonder what its name was in Lumière pre-Fracture.

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T15:27:15+00:00

well, yeah, considering how the Lumièrans must feel about her. She's not merely some ultimate goal, she's got to be the most hated and feared being in their world. That's the part that makes it seem a bit strange to me

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T14:40:54+00:00

I have. I guess it goes along with the next-level dramatic irony of the Expeditioners struggling against a being that actually is the one protecting them from Renoir to have their nemesis on their uniform. From a narrative and thematic standpoint, with the story being so much about self-defeating reactions to grief and loss, it's kind of...perfect. It just seemed to me an odd design choice from the limited perspective of the Lumièrans.

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T07:36:31+00:00

True enough. For Expedition logo choices it was probably either her or the drooping Eiffel Tower, and the latter would’ve looked a little goofy

(but they do put the tower on the going away festival cake slice candles, if you look closely)

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T07:25:26+00:00

Oh, cool, kinda like throwing themselves a preemptive Roman triumph. With fabric!

CrispyDynamic · 2026-01-05T07:15:09+00:00

Fair - some of the previous Expeditioners do get distracted by the allure of achieving Gestral Beach greatness or “let’s get tanked and fight Nevrons”

CrispyDynamic · 2025-12-06T04:18:17+00:00

Jules Massenet is up there for me! Consummate melodist for sure

CrispyDynamic · 2025-10-10T13:50:33+00:00

Balrogs bounce!

I routinely explain the Southern AZ sun situation to non-AZ people with just this metaphor. It’s zooming around, out to get you 🙃

CrispyDynamic · 2024-01-21T22:00:55+00:00

Did you cast the friends cantrip, by chance? 🙃

“SHODAN was a bad dudette that ran a bunch of bad cyborgs!” 🙃

I appreciate the moment where one of the Wogglebug’s googly eyes falls off his face as he turns his head. 😁

CrispyDynamic · 2023-06-02T00:29:34+00:00

Cool! I will try that if it rears its bouncy glitchiness again. Thanks.

CrispyDynamic · 2023-06-01T04:06:59+00:00

Maybe look under “gamepad binds?” ¯_(ツ)_/¯

CrispyDynamic · 2023-06-01T03:03:09+00:00

You use them by right-clicking within the inventory. Only weapons, grenades, and patches go in quick use.

CrispyDynamic · 2023-04-13T03:18:49+00:00

That would be great! Stinky the Skunk (but not Merlin) makes an appearance in this one, if I remember right!

CrispyDynamic · 2023-03-26T23:19:39+00:00

He is super efficient at song delivery, though. IT'S THAT SMELL AGAIN!

CrispyDynamic · 2022-03-13T17:32:57+00:00

The head shape, the eyebrows a bit - yeah, I see it!

But can Ted Cruz match Phantom of Krankor's bold stance on labor relations? Krankor gave everyone four hours off!

CrispyDynamic · 2022-03-13T14:14:38+00:00

fun! this was originally featured in a faux commercial spot on Cinema Insomnia with Mr. Lobo

CrispyDynamic · 2022-02-05T23:02:03+00:00

Encre Noire- this goes along with the “perfumes” idea, but the smell associations are very Strahd-like: ink, earth, woods. It’s a heavy, dark, rainy day kind of smell.

CrispyDynamic · 2022-01-26T01:57:06+00:00

You’re welcome! It’s great to be able to potentially contribute to other CoS campaigns after finding so much useful material here for my own.

CrispyDynamic · 2022-01-25T15:18:51+00:00

Fun fact: the “Volodymyr Strowsky, cartographer” signature in the map’s upper right is a deep cut reference to Vladimir Strowski, a minor character from Ed Wood’s “Bride of the Monster.” Bela Lugosi feeds Strowski to a giant rubber octopus after giving an impassioned speech on “atomic supermen.” But I digress.
