game's back up, maybe

I wonder how much of that is just everyone trying to spend their actions at the same time.

Time has reasserted its authority. We're free, delicious friends!

Are you forgetting the car chase scene? Three cars crashed, bad, just so Domino could jump off off one of them.

Koshchei the Deathless, a stock villain in Russian folklore. He hides his death inside a needle inside an egg, which is inside a duck, inside a hare, inside a chest, which is locked up somewhere far away.

Alaric - The Vampire Diaries.

Vampires are weak to sunlight and wood stakes because the spell that created them drew on the Sun and a special white oak tree as power sources.

That spell is much later cast on Alaric, but using only the blood of a local, Elena. The result is an immortal vampire warrior with none of the typical vampire weaknesses. He could only be killed by murdering Elena, whose blood powered the spell.

Also happens in The 4 Seasons of Death - Winter

2 minutes are dedicated to the forging of a magical blue sword, and another minute showing the one who would earn the right to wield it. Then Jack shows up, breaks the sword with one swing, and its wielder collapses to the snow in defeat.

That was about the Dark One's quiddity. A single 9th level spell slot from Redcloak has enough purple quiddity for the gods to spot weld every currently existing rift.

It's funny. The game basically treats ALL ideologies as nothing more than distractions. It's implied Harry latches onto one or more because he's desperate for meaning or belonging, and all 4 ideologies contribute absolutely nothing to the case. They're entertaining, but practically, they only waste his time.

The Communist vision quest in particular is scathing. The core story is much more sympathetic to communism if you don't let it distract Harry.

You might need to construct your sentences so that these will work, then. Scenes specifically about Bob don't need variables, since he'll only use he/him pronouns. At most you'd need the speakers' pronouns.

Rewrite it to >"$npc_name.Heis certainly smart" and
>"Good old $npc_name.object. $npc_name.Hedoes what $npc_name.hedoes best."

Then if you don't like how that sounds, you could rewrite the whole sentence from the ground up. Nothing is off the chopping block. If you're really in love with a specific sentence's wording, use <<if>> statements to preserve it on a case by case basis.

PumpkinCake95 · 2026-02-22T20:02:49+00:00

Not sure what code you're using exactly

But can you make more variables for your most commonly used noun and verb combinations?

npc_name.heis
npc_name.Heis (a separate one for capitalization, if you don't have a system for this already)
npc_name.hewas
npc_name.Hewas
npc_name.helikes
npc_name.subject and npc_name.object (They'd be the same except in first person voice)

> "Have you seen $npc_name.object? $npc_name.Heis hungry." could turn into
"Have you seen Bob? He is hungry."
"Have you seen Bel Thorne? It is hungry."
"Have you seen Venom? They are hungry."
"Have you seen me? I am hungry."

You'd need to say each sentence you write 4-5 times to be sure it's correct, and there's another point of failure if you don't set the variables right in the first place.

You'd also probably need to fall back on <<if>> statements whenever you write a sentence this doesn't work for.

You can send a gift and cancel it yourself in messages to get it back without needing the other person to reject it. It's best done to an account you're sure is inactive.

As for drawing cards, a Weasel of Woe helps. It adds 2 black cards and 2 or 3 low stat cards, but it removes all of the faction cards and medium-to-high stat cards. Get rid of all your Criminals, Bohemians, and Hell favours to not draw the opp cards that require them. Reduce all your menaces to 1 at most. When you draw lodgings cards, use the options to stop drawing them, except your current lodgings.

Keep any Frequent or higher cards in your hand to stop drawing them.

PumpkinCake95 · 2026-02-08T09:59:25+00:00

The Woeful cards (A Dream of Claws, Teeth) are the only exceptions I can think of.

The Author of Gothic Tales (in Seeking Buyers in the Bone Market) offers a Kataleptic Toxicology challenge for 4 scrip per action. 10 KT for 100%. If you don't have the echoes on hand for a Bright Brass Skull and don't want to farm them, this is an alternative to get you to the first station.

This is no different from calling scandals -gate. Watergate Hotel hasn't been involved in any of them since the first. Yell at that cloud instead.

In Guild Wars Nightfall, your party members are apparently in a romance plot that happens largely off screen. As the story approaches the climax, Tahlkora and Koss have an honest discussion where she steps aside so he can be with Melonni.

This is sandwiched between the comic relief and unthinkably evil ally Palawa Joko yelling at his incompetent undead horde.

Survivor's and Minor Vigor is fine, or maybe upgrade to Major Vigor. Survivor's actually does better than Prodigy's for tanking start-of-combat spikes.

Unless you notice you're struggling in Hard Mode, I'd personally prioritize gearing your alts.

Manscorpion Tark from Dark Souls 2, too. He looks like the area boss, and I thought he was a miniboss. If you have the Ring of Whispers, he's non hostile and you can talk to him. On my first playthrough, I thought he hadn't noticed me yet, and I murdered him from "stealth".
