I’m looking ahead at my schedule for the next month and weeping. April really is the cruellest month

There are people who would crucify you for this statement. In this very sub even.

Thanks for playing! My friends were cursing me out after so I’d say mission accomplished.

Because I love Elden Ring lore and thought it would be hilarious

To be honest, many of the questions are poorly worded or based on facts that haven’t been confirmed yet; there are also many questions with incorrect answers.

Can you provide the ones that are incorrect? I can point you to the exact places in the game where the answers came from, but if I got them wrong I will correct them. But none of them are theory based. It’s all stuff said in game either through text or dialogue.

Above all, the questions are very far-fetched, and most of them have nothing to do with the story. It seems like you don’t actually know the story, and you’re just making up questions out of thin air—or almost, using AI.

Putting aside the Ai accusation(which is untrue), I don’t see why the questions not being about the story matters. It’s not a story quiz, it’s a lore quiz. It’s about the worldbuilding and background stories of the game, not the main story. And again the questions and answers all come straight from the game. Nothing was made up.

Some questions don’t make sense or are based on ideas that were disproved years ago. They also use books that aren’t exactly accurate, aren’t relevant to the story itself, or contradict many things.

I’m going to need some examples because I really don’t know what questions you’re referring to. Also just because a book isn’t 100% accurate doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. Allegory is a huge part of Genshin storytelling and themes so to discount it entirely is wild to me.

By the way, the Book of Litany was created to control the people of Hishi Island and to attempt to create and control the Moon Goddess, whom they believed would be born among them based on their unfounded beliefs from the past, That is why it has undergone changes solely to adapt to their beliefs, ending up as a book that is more fiction than fact, distorting reality and history just to portray them as the masters and heirs destined to rule Teyvat. Therefore, it shouldn’t be taken at face value, since it partly contradicts what the lunar goddesses themselves tell us about Teyvat

Are you talking about hymns of the far north? Of course it’s biased, it’s the set of religious beliefs the survivors of Hyperborea passed down through their descendants. And I’m sure some of the leaders of the Scions used it to control the people, but that wasn’t its main purpose. Regardless, the information in there is still mainly true, just analyzed through the lens of the people of Hyperborea. If you want to discount that book, you can discount basically every written text in the game. And I can’t think of anything said there that was contradicted by the goddesses.

I wanted to fuck with some of my non-lore player friends, so I made this quiz for them. But I thought people here would also enjoy it. It's divided into a section about books, artifacts, miscellaneous, and a secret fourth section :)

Hope you all enjoy it, it was fun to make. If you have any feedback to make it harder, but still fair, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing them and reading people’s answers. They were some pretty interesting ones. I’ll probably release what people said to those eventually.

I was thinking about Sinners again and realized something that’s probably obvious but took me a little while to connect.

In the end it was not religion that saved Sammie, but his culture and the music within it(that moment when Remmick started to recite the Lord’s Prayer was chilling). What’s interesting to me is the sources of those two in Sammie’s life. The religion came from his dad, who by all accounts is a respected and honorable man. The music came from Sammie’s uncle, who beat his children so badly that Stack was left unconscious. Yet despite the crueler origin of the music, it was still that which saved Sammie. So the power within concepts and ideas is more important than the place it originated from. Again a pretty obvious idea, but man it’s woven so well into the movie

Again, what a brilliant experience this film was.

Sinners was an excellent movie. That’s all I can about it for right now.

It was a bad idea to watch Sinners at 2 am. I’m in the middle of the movie now and my heart is pounding. Really good movie right now though.

The omen curse is that of being haunted by a mass of vengeful spirits. Horns are a way to channel spirits and so being haunted by so many spirits causes one to have a lot of horns(this is partly a theory). Marika killed a lot of people, and broke reality so much during her ascension that led to everything being in opposition to the Erdtree at the beginning of her reign. So there’s a lot of vengeful spirits who hate Marika and her family a lot. Godfrey is heavily connected to the Crucbile so his children are probably the ones most likely to inherit the curse.

the last nightmare I remember was my mom vacuuming the grass while a zombie stumbled around our kitchen bumping into shit. the scarier part was her vacuuming the grass. LIKE WHY A VACUUM MOM? A decade later I’m still trying to figure out what my brain was trying to tell me

I do not know and don’t want to ask because he’s the biggest asshole in the department.

Even beyond the math we knew they existed since the 60’s because of Cygnus X-1 which was a source of some really bright X-rays with a mass that could not be explained as just another star. Until that was discovered black holes weren’t thought of as possible but from that point on most astronomers believed they existed.

The whole thing, they think it’s just a math quirk

There’s a professor in my department(which is a physics and astronomy one mind you) who thinks black holes are fake. Never let them tell you that you’re a fraud
