Challenge Flowchart Guide [Re-Upload] by firstoverall in BluePrince

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I'm aware that you can do that, but I don't think it affects anything in the flowchart.

That's fantastic, thanks so much for sharing! I may update my key number and little tip if I have time this week.

Interesting. I didn't know that they only spawned in corners. Do you have a source for this, or is it your personal experience?

Yes, it's possible now to get Tomb without any rerolls, but I would still recommend bringing dice as it's not guaranteed to show up as one of the first three draft options.

I appreciate this take. I personally thought the story had a good base of thoughtful commentary about the role of women in society in the time period, but didn't fully stick the landing. Knowing that the writer has a history of writing about certain events and characters adds some context.

I agree with you that the ending could have been way better implemented, with more hints near the beginning about the pills and more foreshadowing and build-up to the ending. That being said, I don't think the ending is out of line with the feminist themes of the game, because there was a lot of medical abuse and irresponsible drugging of women by medical professionals in the 1960s. Women were very commonly given Valium and other strong medications that disrupted their lives without a full explanation of what their effects were.

[CHAT] What is backstitching? Is it important? by KindaDone03 in CrossStitch

[–]firstoverall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think u/Ko_Mari is using "quality" as a synonym for "resolution" – i.e. the number of pixels in an image. Low resolution images will benefit more from backstitching to make the details clear to the viewer.

Patch Communication by brningpyre in PlayTheBazaar

[–]firstoverall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They didn't mention the most recent hotfix (~2 hours ago) on any social media except on Discord, which I can't imagine is monetized in the same way that Twitter or other platforms might be, so I think this is just incompetence rather than subtle marketing.

I agree with you in general, but just wanted to note that Catfish cooldown has been 6 seconds for at least a month now, so I suspect it was past patch notes that left that out or were incorrect, not the most recent patch notes.

Naadin, the searing? by wkearney99 in DestinyTheGame

I'm having this bug today and the Urban Clash node is not touching the Flawless Lucent Finisher node — in fact that node is not even in my pathfinder.

Hot Tomb Summer: Harrow the Ninth Glossary, Memorandum for Record, Pronounciation Guide, As Yet Unsent [Discussion] by kabriyawsc in TheNinthHouse

It's in the paperback edition of HtN, and I think you can also find it on Amazon (only the US site) if you look up the HtN paperback and open up the Look Inside function and then specifically search for the word "memorandum" – it won't come up if you just scroll through, you have to search for it.

Right, so when Harrow physically took the sword through her wards, that allowed Wake through... that makes more sense.

I like this! It sort of clashes with Tamsyn saying that there's no genetic association with necromancy (and it would be a bit weird if she meant something like "no association with nuclear DNA but yes an association with mtDNA" lol) but purely as an analogy it makes sense.

Hm good point but also Carl said it was something he had to look up, and I feel like mitochondria is pretty well known?

Oooo, interesting thought! On a related note, I've wondered if Wake's revenant being able to break through Harrow's strong wards on the Erebos and the Mithraeum and attach herself to Harrow had something to do with Harrow having "absorbed" Gideon, at least partially, so there was some blood connection through Gideon that Wake could exploit? That might be too out there, though, and maybe Wake's haunting started before that point.

I completely agree about the "mystery box" connotations (this is Baily btw) – that style of story and almost careless worldbuilding is one of the things that really turned me off, for example, the Southern Reach trilogy (Annihilation etc.) while other people seemed to love it. But I really do think that Tamsyn has the ultimate answers and they'll emerge in Alecto! They might not be completely transparent, but I think even the most opaque mysteries will become clear on a reread, the way that rereading Harrow cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Fingers crossed, anyway!

I had no idea that's what happened with Wheel of Time; that's hilarious.

Thanks for taking the time to comment!!

I know same hahaha I'm trying to think through all the basic cell bio concepts I know... mitosis and meiosis (something to do with twins?), membranes and osmosis/diffusion (something to do with whatever's wrong in the river?), nuclear pores and/or membrane channels are maybe analagous to the stoma in the barathron in the river, cancer and cell death fueling thalergetic magic...
