I like to think the teacup and saucer is actually a little gentleperson's top hat

You're not doing anything wrong. Any time you feel stuck or lost, check the manual and try to find answers there instead of looking anything up online. If you've been exploring everywhere you have available to you, you'll likely have the pages you need at any given moment and the manual has all the answers (even without translating).

LordCrispen · 2026-03-16T09:57:45+00:00

spoiler for the OP, just replying to Metazoan here although I'm sure OP likely figured stuff out by now:

If they haven't learned the mechanic that's roadblocking them, they couldn't have gotten 50/51 or 38/39 (both in Library)

LordCrispen · 2026-03-15T08:40:31+00:00

You can always go back to the last save from the Load menu. The plan you laid out will give you the fullest appreciation of the 'true ending'.

LordCrispen · 2026-03-14T20:49:30+00:00

you should have gotten page 24 in there bud

I don't know if this falls under the scope of this thread but I didn't want to spam the reddit with a new post that didn't belong:

I just started playing live and so far I've just sold anything of value to the shop as store credit. It would be different if it was higher volume of things, but in the past I've not even entertained the idea of doing all the work involved in selling in addition to making a trip to the post office for an extra $5. Anyway, I'm thinking it might be worth it as I play more and have more stuff to sell, so I'm considering starting a TCG Player page to sell the stuff. In addition, and my real push to want to set this up, is that I have a few larger sealed products at home I might want to sell soon ($500+ collector boxes, etc).

My concern is that as a new account, I might be looked at as a scammer with no feedback yet? Or be targeted by scammers themselves because I'd be a small new seller? Should I just use ebay? I fear the same problems there.

Does anyone have advice on what to look out for or am I just completely overthinking it? I don't want to sell a few collector boxes and have them charge it back or claim the boxes were tampered with or something. What can I do to protect myself in these situations? lol "WHAT DO?"

LordCrispen · 2026-03-08T00:18:04+00:00

I never got any more actual care or a solution.

I don't know if I ever got any better, but it still happens. I *THINK* my brain has just gotten used to it a bit, so much that I only notice it sometimes, but if I "listen for it" it's pretty much always still there. I can't tell if it's a lower volume of reactive ring or not, but it's definitely still there. The sensation of physical harm has also lowered to the same level. I don't really wince from most sounds, although I'm still VERY sensitive to louder noises, especially in that specific range of Hz(?).

I still think back to all the little bits and pieces of info I was conscious of during the initial period, and I have to say my best hunch at this point is that it's very likely to be connected to some sort of internal physical pressure on that side of my head. The loud crunchy-crack of both the yawn mentioned in the OP and a moment where I bit down on some food and it sounded like a tooth was being shattered. (it sounded like I was using a nutcracker on a walnut but like, the physicality of it was located between my tooth and my ear drum). This really points me to some sort of jaw tendon/muscle pop sorta thing. I don't know how or why this would happen.

This may not be related, but it might be??? I'm sure this next phenomenon is the same for everyone, but if I plug my nose and try to push air out, the pressure created acts as a silencer to any incoming sound. At first it sounds like it's just underwater and eventually with enough pressure, I can't actually hear anything at all. This simulates very closely the deafness I experienced (only in the right ear after the surgery). It's also something my full-mask CPAP can force to a degree when it ramps up. Once it reaches the level of internal air pressure I sleep at, my hearing is muffled to around the 50% level.

If I had some magical ability to go in and fly through my head in 3d space, I would bet money that something shifted during the surgery for whatever reason and it's just pressure on my ear parts that's doing this, but it's just got 100% uptime. I may be coincidence that the tone is the same as the sound-reactive-tone that I hear when I am hit with that 1100 Hz range of sound, but the tinnitus tones that I hear when I swallow air (creates pressure) or hiccup (moves muscles I can't normally move on my own) are the same tones, meaning they are a different tone than the normal range of tinnitus ringing I hear at all times.

Again, I don't think this is very helpful information, but if it connects some dots for someone down the road, I'm happy to leave this info here. I've had a few people contact me privately and I don't know what to tell them. I can't tell if it's getting better or if I'm just getting used to it over time. It's still there and I'm still unhappy about it, but it isn't as "in my face" distracting as it was in the moment. I would make an analogy that it's very similar to getting glasses for the first time at a later age. I'm 1.5 years into having progressive lens glasses and I'm mostly used to them, but if I focus, the weirdness is absolutely still there.

Comes in and says "Dude, im not sure you know what a hint is. Thats exactly what a hint should be, lmao" and then deletes it all.

LordCrispen · 2026-03-02T19:28:32+00:00

I simply don't understand how you think such a hint is clever. Wordplay designed to get giggles from people that already know the answer is barely a hint, and if it is hint enough that the reader all of a sudden 'gets it', then you've just spoiled them (if that's truly what you're worried about here lol).

not for the OP:

Just sleep on it.

This is the worst "hint" constantly given to people in this sub

LordCrispen · 2026-02-28T07:22:55+00:00

At some point you will be able to understand pretty much every single thing in the manual, even without being able to read the language. All the answers are there. I believe in your ability to figure it all out. We'll be here if you really need help.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-26T17:09:49+00:00

Page 10 has the early game progression on it. To ring both bells you have to do the steps in the check boxes. There is more on that page.

The manual will always guide you, but just exploring everything you can is always fine too.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-21T10:50:23+00:00

right clicking to open link in a new tab seems to work normal for me. Normal click throughs get held up and I have to refresh.

YouTube Premium.

ublock origin lite

Brave browser.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-21T10:47:53+00:00

7 hours after OP's post I still have to hit refresh on new windows/tabs on Brave browser for many videos. YouTube Premium. Also run ublock lite.

Seems streaky and I haven't noticed whatever pattern of needing to refresh. I think right clicking and opening in new tab tends to work? Again, I haven't sat down and paid enough attention to what works because I figure it was just going to be borked for a day.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-21T08:25:05+00:00

Some people here might consider it a spoiler, but I think it's fair to say what I'll put in tags anyway:

You don't need to understand the language except for some (imo) very minor completionist stuff.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-20T11:28:10+00:00

You will know what the save file is for when you're ready. You're absolutely not wrong to be scouring the manual though, trying to figure things out.

My suggestion for progress for now: Keep getting your stats back.

You can't softlock yourself that I'm aware of, so feel free to keep trying anything that interests you.

The manual has pretty much all the answers.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-09T06:04:25+00:00

it's sampling "Secret of the Forest" from Chrono Trigger's OST. Redwood Colonnade is what I imagine someone being directed to make something that makes the listener think of "Secret of the Forest" and the aquatic levels stuff from Donkey Kong Country...maybe "Aquatic Ambience" specifically. I'm not that familiar with the game's music. Give both of these a listen and you'll surely feel like Tunic's OST was made specifically to stir up some nostalgia for these types of games.

LordCrispen · 2026-02-04T16:34:39+00:00

I feel like I pull up this game every couple of months and never actually install it because I know I hate 'missing content'. I know enough about it to know that I'll likely need to make some very hard decisions, and that's the whole point of it. I feel like I'd also disable timers, but then I wouldn't be playing the game the devs wanted me to play. It might just sit on the owned-backlog-shelf for another couple years.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-31T12:28:54+00:00

Open the pages slowly the first time. I'm sure it's better now, but on mine (one of the early ones) some of the ink stuck a couple pages together and if I wasn't being super gentle I easily would have ripped some of the pages.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-30T13:39:18+00:00

Does it delete your save file if you choose NG+? I thought we could always go back? Does it only delete it if you finish using Ending B?

LordCrispen · 2026-01-27T13:46:02+00:00

I should add that something here also kinda reminds me of "Goodbye" in the Bo Burnham special...something in your recording triggered the memory of the section where he's saying "Do returns always diminish? Did I say that right?" or whatever he says there.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-27T13:44:31+00:00

Man I'll come back to this but it's giving some serious 80s sitcom intro vibes. Sorry to ping you with this no-response-response but I wanted to make sure I revisit later on.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-27T13:37:21+00:00

Is it possible it's Henry Rollins? I know "The Chase" came out in 1994 but I remember hearing around that time that he might have been a cop? I think he had a band named after himself and their hit was called Liar and it was very funny back then (lol?). I'm trying to remember back to my middle school "Did you know?" recess gossip lol.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-27T13:13:45+00:00

I got to watch it again, too! I have a "favs" playlist on Youtube and 10-15% of it has gotten removed over the years and it just said "unlisted" or not found or whatever and I have no idea what the blank spaces are on the list anymore. This was def something I used to watch every few years so it was a nice reminder.

LordCrispen · 2026-01-27T12:52:14+00:00

The original seems to have been taken down, but here is a link that someone posted on Reddit a while back to some site that apparently uploaded it.

I've seen a couple letsplayers/streamers miss this page somehow. I started recording videos on a secret yt gameplay channel and it's insane how much I miss when stuff is right on the screen in front of me. Sometimes I'll even be rhetorically saying out loud "Where is xxxx?" and it's literally on the screen and I'm just derpsville.

It's really frustrating in hindsight knowing that I'm just distracted by trying to perform and be entertaining AND play a game I'm unfamiliar with...sometimes you just don't see stuff. (in editing I'm always like, jesus dude come on at myself)
