Highlights/Thoughts From Today's Play (Arrival At Lookout Landing To Reaching The Stormwind Ark):

It’s been over a year since I posted, but this came out really good and everyone should go watch Worlds Beyond Number!

(Also if you are obsessed with @quiddie like I am she’s on it sooooo)

time will tell

Thinking about Silver's Namecloak

So, inspired by the whole "silvering a mirror" thing, I was thinking more about Silver's namecloak. Specifically, the fact that silver quite famously tarnishes, and the thematic parallel between the loss of shine and the Suvi+Silver breakup. What's more, the process of silver tarnishing has been accelerated by the additional sulfur in the air post-Industrial Revolution, and wizardry/the Citadel seems to be pretty much the magical Industrial Revolution. So, there's this crazy parallel between sulfur pollution tarnishing silver and the Citadel driving a wedge between Suvi and Silver.

IDK it's not totally coherent yet, but it did set off the gears in my brain.

"Bake for 10 - 12 minutes" is obviously code for "bake for exactly 11 minutes."

Thinking about 5e evasion and its utterly bizarre consequences.

Take the Fire Breath of an adult red dragon:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one."

Now, let's modify it slightly by removing that last part:

"The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage on a failed save."

Which of these does more damage, on average, to a high-level monk/rogue (one with evasion)? If you said the former, congratulations, you made the reasonable choice. You'd also be wrong: the monk/rogue takes twice as much damage from the modified ability.

Anyway, it bothers me.

it surely says something about me that I got the Phaedra reference immediately, but it has taken me 60 HOURS to figure out why the minotaur would be named Mazey

Could a homosexual lend me, an asexual, a single use of the word flaming?

Aaaaand time!

Really enjoyed this playthrough. I definitely took a more direct route to the endgame than last time, but I feel that let me ignore the parts I disliked to focus on the central story. Still don't know that TotK has supplanted BotW for me, but this playthrough has definitely improved my opinion of it.

Welp. I finally caved and started Tears of the Kingdom. Haven't touched it since 100%'ing my first file a year ago.
