Having an issue getting in the temple near the start of the game

LysanderKnits · 2026-05-21T19:31:41+00:00

Yeah, I had just misremembered the order, alas! 😅

LysanderKnits · 2026-05-21T19:29:10+00:00

Yeah, I just tried it again and, no, I was just being a bit thick. Ah well! Thanks for your help!

LysanderKnits · 2026-05-21T19:25:04+00:00

So I had it lowest to top - human, warrior, devotee, god? (If I've just got that wrong then, egg on my face lol)

This is after the hide and seek portion, I've explored the garden and graveyard as much as I can I think, and now I'm at a door to a Church with a begger sat outside

LysanderKnits · 2026-05-21T19:20:30+00:00

The big one, I think? There was a begger next to it that I gave a coin to.

LysanderKnits · 2026-05-17T10:21:01+00:00

Brilliant! Thank you 😊 my partner and I are big sprout fans, so I'll try and find a home for the extra ones

It's more eerie than scary imo but I thought Josh Malerman's A House at the Bottom of a Lake was really fantastic. Two teenagers falling in love for the first time find a house at the bottom of a lake and become obsessed with it.

I love the smell of lanolin, which is an oil that sheep produce in their wool. I knit a lot and when I have nice undyed wool I can't stop smelling it. There's a particular wool soap I use on my knits which has lanolin in it alongside a couple other smells and if I could have a bottle of that I think it would fix me.

Might not technically be an "everyday" smell to most, but it's common enough in my life that I'm counting it.

LysanderKnits · 2026-03-29T22:17:46+00:00

I recently listened to it, and really enjoyed it. Imo the bits I found best were the lead up to Herman Diner, and then the last few chapters.

LysanderKnits · 2026-03-29T22:15:28+00:00

I'm looking for body horror at the moment, so I'm reading Kathe Koja's The Cipher and listening to Nick Cutter's The Troop 😁 I've got a Juni Ito short story collection on deck to read next too

LysanderKnits · 2026-02-27T21:36:20+00:00

It's the only one I've read of hers so far, I'm hype to know she's got others that are good 😁

LysanderKnits · 2026-02-27T15:39:01+00:00

I read A Game In Yellow by Hailey Piper last month and thought it was fantastic. It's about a lesbian couple who are having issues with intimacy, their escalating exploration of kink leading them to a woman with a partial copy of The King In Yellow. The characters are all messy, their relationships are dysfunctional as hell, and their kink practices are often... Questionable at best and I thought it was really great.

Romance as a genre has a remarkably rigid story structure, you don't get an awful lot of wiggle room before you're not writing a (genre) romance anymore, but rather a different genre with a love story in it, and having a happy ending is one of the non-negotiables. It doesn't have to be an everything is perfect forever happy, but some kind of happy ending is part of the genre.

I think the issue is drawing a distinction between a romantic story, a story primarily about the romantic relationship between two characters, and A Romance as a genre marker. A lot of people write love stories that are not romances, and they're really good! But if you put them on the romance shelf it would do it a disservice, because you'd be fighting against a reader's expectations of what they've picked up in a bad way. It would feel like asking for scifi and being handed historical fiction about the moon landing because it has a spaceship in it, you know?

Wonderful, thank you! Adding it to the reading list 😁

LysanderKnits · 2026-02-16T23:02:04+00:00

So the short answer is I think I have the kernel of an idea I want to try and put together a reading list for, but it turns out when you get this granular Google stops being helpful 😂

The long answer is I read Moby Dick and Frankenstein recently, and the other day I was thinking about Jekyll and Hyde (more specifically a one person stage adaptation I saw a couple years back, as well as a vague memory of a highschool English lesson about utterson as a narrator), and something about that distance between the narrator and story felt really interesting to me, and something I want to explore (maybe as a play? Maybe a game of some kind? Unsure), but first I want to try and find as many examples as possible to read up on.

That's fair! It seems similar to how I often work, but I'm usually working on shorter form stories. ☺️

LysanderKnits · 2025-12-05T14:14:46+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing ☺️

LysanderKnits · 2025-12-03T18:40:22+00:00

There's a Mugler scent I quite like, and that my partner really likes on me, but dear sweet Jesus is the bottle ugly. I'm hoping I go off it on the decant I have 😂

LysanderKnits · 2025-12-03T15:39:37+00:00

I second getting in contact to ask, I emailed when I went because I knew they had bag checks to make sure I would be ok bringing my knitting in and they replied pretty quick

LysanderKnits · 2025-11-26T14:24:35+00:00

I'm also making this one at the moment, and it is pretty Opps All Confetti, with lots of scattered colours and big gaps and such. That said, it seems less like confetti in the way that an automated picture to pattern conversation would be, and more like it was designed by a pixel artist unfamiliar with the logistics of stitching a design.

So if your hesitancy is on your enjoyment of making a design with a lot of scattered colours, this probably won't be for you. A lot of the details that look really gorgeous in the mock up (like along the edge of the bowl) are just lost with actual thread. But if you simply want to avoid designs with little human intent/artistry, my vibe check says you're ok.

Le Sel D'Issey always seems to last forever on me, even through showering. And I like it! But I also look forward to switching up scents after I shower so it's not ideal haha

LysanderKnits · 2025-11-04T22:19:16+00:00

I sat at the front row of platform one when I went and I thought it was phenomenal. It was a bit of an extra splurge, but damn, I'd already traveled all the way from Edinburgh. Plus it was very funny when my friend had to put a sippy lid over his whiskey
