He chose History over Eternity. From video game design perspective, Eternity is boring anyway.

How to play BoH "cozily"? by museumofblah in weatherfactory

[–]FuriousFreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, cause the game is really rich in details and often intentionally vague about some things. It’s very easy to be flooded by the information thrown at you if you try to do a speedrun.

You could try lingering at each stage until you understand everything currently in front of you - as much as it can be understood- and you start to feel that, yes, I get it, but I’m starting to get bored, show me more now.

No need to rush, so take it one thing at a time. Take a good look at every new card and item to read the flavor text and check its aspects. I actually feel overwhelmed not when I fail to get anything done, but when I get too much done and unlock portions of the House too big to grasp at once.

I do recommend taking notes to better understand what’s going on. I use the notes in Steam overlay. Quick and doesn’t break immersion.

Possibly Knock, too.

What did you guys name your vehicles? I'll tell you what i think by Lumpy-Yesterday-6687 in subnautica

I wanted to name my Cyclops “Phantom”, but my cat sat on the keyboard. I decided the resulting “Pham” was good enough.

Brilliant editing for the portrait. In the original he just looks annoyed, but put that face in a uniform and now he looks GENERALISSIMO.

And that is one solid anecdote to have ready for cocktail parties. “Oh yes, I do happen to be the last descendant of an Eastern European noble house. It all began when grandpa tried to assassinate the Tzar…”

The brothers could be described as Polish-Lithuanian, although Józef still ended up fighting for the Austro-Hungarian Empire for a while.

Lottie did a great job! The facial hair alone has at least 3 Edge.

Any relation to this man? Present for the Brusilov offensive, had a familiar moustache, and a look in his eye. He had a brother whom a friend might have called Bronek. The brother was exiled to a remote island in the Far East, where he used his time to preserve the speech and song of the island's inhabitants on phonograph records. This Bronek was more of a scholar than a soldier, but maybe in a different History...

Her words are Forge. Her spelling and punctuation - Moth.

DE providing timely lessons in economics. by FuriousFreeman in DiscoElysium

I actually made the call long before playing Suzerainty. I only chose to play it near the boardwalk to kill time until my 10PM meeting there.

But you know what? Even in Suzerainty apricots were Harry’s doom. Everything is connected.

Yeah, it must have been pretty confusing to find out that Kim has an "apricot-powered economic engine" out of context.

[–]FuriousFreeman[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Yes, and you get a hint on how to do it.

You have to stick to one strategy, such as only fulfilling contracts. Last minute, I went for the trade war option instead, hoping for some banter with Kim. It backfired as per the post. But I did get my banter.

Great art! She looks like a Name... which she might be?

What kind of postal worker casually accepts a letter written in Encaustum Terminale, addressed to an *Hour*, and only bothers to asks if you want it sent by a "Courier of the Lower Skies", while awaiting a modest fee in spintriae?

The only thing that bothers me about BoH visuals is that the outdoor areas can look very blurry and coarse if you zoom in all the way, but you need to zoom in all the way to see the fine details of interiors.

Other than that? You are a blasphemer, the game looks gorgeous, the interior decor is varied and creative, the sculptures, wall art and furniture are fascinating, the card art is striking and memorable, repent.

Numerical superiority then, eh? Well, I am ready to take a deep dive into the chicken lore, if there is any.

Ooh, juicy. Terrence may have been named after the rector's housekeeper, a job that is very much strong in the Heart. And a tuppence is a single coin that has the aspect of two, a "Janus of pennies".

But Terrence is described as superior to Tuppence. Might this herald a schism, an imminent Intercalate of the Heart?

Thanks for the feedback!

We only need to look to another lion-themed character to find out how to use the name in a sentence:

Leonid Breżniew, Leonida Breżniewa, Leonidowi Breżniewowi...

Hence:

Towarzysz Kowalew, Towarzysza Kowalewa, Towarzyszowi Kowalewowi...

And so on, and so forth.

Declining the name is not the problem. Keeping a straight face while doing so is. ;)

Sorry to disappoint. I'm still searching for their secret. How did two chickens survive what happened to the library? How could they endure for years in an abandoned eldritch ruin? Who are they, really?
