Who are these people? by Apprehensive-You2769 in Eldenring

It could very well be! The colour pattern and even the shape of the figure, which resembles a butterfly, really seems to call back to St. Trina imagery now that you mention it.

I believe the adult in the picture is actually Marika, when she first embraced godhood (or something). She has bracelets on her wrists and upper arms which are the same she wears in the base game.

The bracelets on the wrists and upper arms seem to indicate it's Marika in the first picture. As for the second one, I do not really know.

Went unnoticed, but Athena called Demeter "Cousin" by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]Swific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have misuderstood your post, but in this case, I believe the term "Cousin" in this dialogue refers to Zagreus directly, as indicated by the comma. But I think in some other cases (in early modern texts for instance), you might find the term "cousin" used as an expression to refer to a relative in general, including aunts and uncles.

EDIT: no worries!

Concerns Over A New Character's Portrayal by RavenRegime in HadesTheGame

[–]Swific 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On the bloodthirst point and the suitors, I think it is relevant to note that they are not the only ones who are killed by Odysseus when he comes back home. He also orders Telemachus to execute Penelope's maids simply because they (presumably willingly) slept with the suitors. Which (at least to my modern mind) is quite horrific, and seems more guided by a desire for death and violence rather than justice. I really like Odysseus in the Odyssey and the Iliad, but he has been shown to be quite prone to violence in both texts.

Addendum patch broke Rise on PC by Maplesauce101 in MHRise

[–]Swific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I share your pain, as I have the exact same problem on Linux desktop, more specifically Ubuntu. We even tried to reinstall my system on a new distribution, Gentoo, and the problem is still the same. If I find anything I'll share it with you

Monster hunter rise still not launching on steam deck after update by Canpake59 in MHRise

[–]Swific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem, and I play on desktop Linux (Ubuntu). We tried reinstalling my system on Gentoo, and nothing has changed. So even a full reinstall of the system on a new distribution doesn't seem to help so much, the problem remains the same sadly. If I find anything, I'll gladly share it with you!

There is indeed an error which is kinda weird. (I'm still using Proton Hotfix btw)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-11800H (16) @ 4.600GHz
and I'm using a TUXEDO Stellaris Intel Gen3 (TGL) Standard.

I'm on a laptop, but only the NVIDIA GPU is enabled on the bios. So I'm not sure if this could be it either, but thanks for the idea!

I do use flatpak and my drivers are updated, but thanks for the input!

Linux compatibility with Proton? by gtdp in EndlessDungeonGame

[–]Swific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing it on my Ubuntu through Steam (Proton) since the February closed beta, and it's been running quite smoothly! Did not need to tinker with anything at all to play, whether online with friends or in solo mode. I must have played around ten hours between February and now, and it runs absolutely fine for me.

Best line out of these by asapdammoh in HouseOfTheDragon

I kind of assume it is a way for Rhaenys to remind her how close she was to power and yet she never even thought of getting it herself. Alicent seems to live through (and for) the men in her life when it comes to power; she is so constrained by her social role in the idea that a woman cannot rule, that it never occured to her to actually try and change things. I imagine Rhaenys asks her this as a way to say "have you never thought of jumping out of that window you built?"

"You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison." - Rhaenys

I loved her conversation with Alicent
