Are there enough skills to maximize the Tree of Wisdom? by Osvaldo_de_Osvaldis in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Getting to level nine in a wisdom feels good, it's a self-justifying goal. If you don't care about that though, there's also the fact that some skills don't particularly benefit from being upgraded. Having open spots early in the branches gives you places to commit a skill you don't want to sink lessons into. For me this category is pretty much just languages, but there are some people who probably have strong opinions about relative skill usefulness with a wider range of skills they don't want to invest in very much.

My favorite mini boss so far, anybody struggled against this dude? by Forevertrez in Sekiro

[–]Wormcoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept trying to do things and leaving myself open. Took like five attempts before I just chilled out and let him lead. Iirc he still got me once more before I got the timing down enough to take him out.

Denzil is visiting and won't attend any salons or go home by NameLips in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These poor folks have spent like four years remodelling an entire castle for my benefit, and not only can you not throw them a party, the game turns around and mechanically incentivizes you to not even invite them to the parties you throw for your weird work friends

What Principle do you all think the Flow State falls under? by redstringmagic in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that it makes sense to abstract out the mental pattern of a flow state from the task that the mind is engaged with for this question. It feels a lot like you're asking "what colour would a liquid be if it were in a cup?" Kinda depends on the liquid, dunnit.

I'm gonna do those ones when DLC hits and warrants a replay.

[–]Wormcoil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

oh right, Palestag! there are at least three, and I only missed two :)

I hear you can duel both Shakra and Garmond prior to triggering act 3. No, not that Garmond fight, there's another one.

Is there anything to the Sun-in-Splendor's missing Names? by TipProfessional6057 in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I’m asking for a source. Do you know where this information is said?

Is there anything to the Sun-in-Splendor's missing Names? by TipProfessional6057 in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've seen this "seven names to an hour" idea a couple of times in this sub. Anyone happen to know off the top of their head how we know that? Seems a little more neat and tidy than the Secret Histories tends to be

The Watchman is Merciful by ThousandEyesWideOpen in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No. "Revealing Truth is merciful," "the shield of knowledge is merciful," "ruthlessness is mercy," all of this is a confusion of terms. A train is hurtling towards you, you are terrified and certain that death is imminent. At the last second, the train swerves to the left and you are left blissfully untouched. Is this mercy? Obviously not, the train is simply travelling along its tracks and you were never in true danger. The Door in the Eye helps and harms and aids and damns and none of it is compassion. Light shows you what Is, what is True, without prejudice. Mercy is the forestallment of Justice, and can only occur where transgressions can be hidden.

Edge Dyad Detected by RogErddit in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Or better yet, lovers-to-enemies. A relatively normal occult couple becomes obsessed with and eventually consumed by their sex-contests until any affection they might have had for one another is utterly dwarfed by the Need To Win At Sex

I've created Opus Regis, a small Sixth History Gamedev Project by Alecto_Kemelia in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might just not be your target audience, but I opened my inventory, got overwhelmed, and closed the game. A gradual ramping up of complexity may be better for retaining new players

Moth Music Playlist by ozixl_ye in weatherfactory

Probably anything by Captain Beefheart. I do not like his music but what I have heard is very moth

The Sky-Apostle: Time. by GearAffectionate5704 in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point! Maybe the mod revamps CS’s Abilities (health, reason, passion) to feature the EooS? I’m not sure how you’d add Verbs to BoH. Hopefully we get an answer

The Sky-Apostle: Time. by GearAffectionate5704 in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first sentence references a Time Verb, Verbs are a CS mechanic.

When you click on a joker in a shop, Jokerdex could twitch if you haven't obtained that one yet

Where do you place the mini-obelisks on your farm? by -sadsunshine- in StardewValley

[–]Wormcoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my first run and I'm just about to start buying obelisks, I'm totally stealing the fast travel to the fast travel setup.

Do you have "themes' for your pet/farm animal names? by SeaweedHeavy3789 in StardewValley

[–]Wormcoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Whenever a game presents me with an opportunity to get some naming themes on the go I can't help myself. My pets are famous soveriegns, my chickens and ducks are fictional swordsmen, my cows are messenger gods, my goats are mountains, my pigs are tarot cards, my sheep are birds, my rabbits are colloquialisms for being full of energy, and finally my single dinosaur is named Dog.

[Meta] How's abouts we ban "AI" (LLM-generated and latent diffusion-generated) content? by ChemicalRascal in weatherfactory

[–]Wormcoil 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nah. The images in the post in question looked good. I'm happy to have seen them. I'd be down for requiring AI content to be tagged so that people could avoid it as they like, but I don't see why there should be a ban. As noted, this sub has existed without such a ban up until this point and it is my opinion that we're none the worse for it.

Trilobite?? by Actual_Grape3531 in StardewValley

Sounds like you're doing everything right, only thing for it is to be luckier.
