  • yeah that’s the problem, when people (myself included) see a game label itself as “RPG” we kind of expect the world to be living, a world that feels like you could go anywhere and find amazing treasures, friends, enemies, anything and everything on your journey! A world where talking to any character could send you on a quest you’ll never forget

    in avowed NPCs are static, there’s like 2 non-hostile animals, if something doesn’t have a healthbar your attacks phase through them, every chest has the same 4 ingredients in it, you can’t interact with the enviornment unless it’s a box, an urn, or specific vines, you can’t tell your companions to fuck off ever, if an NPC has a quest for you they’ll have an exclamation mark above their heads - which completely takes away the reason to talk with anyone else but them and vendors, and just sigh it doesn’t feel like an RPG at all to me

    after i got a plot breaking bug (plot dialogue wouldn’t progress) i uninstalled it and downloaded skyrim again, which though flawed, at least it’s an RPG



  • it is fantastic for both lil notes and grand projects! and you can even link to those little notes and slowly evolve them into a grand projects

    you can basically create a personalised Wikipedia! and Obsidian will help you with it, as it can detect when you write in plain text a word or phrase that also is another note’s title, then you just click and bam, it’s linked. And if you change a note’s title, all mentions will update too!

    you can also make conspiracy boards with the canvas note type, all usual formatting works within them

    it’s a great tool to keep a lot of information organised and linked together, without having to open a billion files and cross reference them (you can also open notes in split screen).

    learning how to use it will only take an hour or so, and then you’ll be zooming

    i’ve recently been using it to collect and organise information for a big project i’m working on, and being able to link mentions of things to bigger topics and themes as i’m doing the data collection is just wonderful, no more “(IMPORTANT LOOK HERE!!!)”








  • i know it’s a joke but

    A: ask a professional first.

    still unsure?

    • smell it, if it smells alright, proceed

    • cut off a little piece, put it in your elbow and wait at least 8h

    • if all is good, take another little piece, cook it and touch your lips with it, wait a few minutes, put it on your tongue, again wait a few minutes

    • if all is good, take another little piece, chew it, wait a few minutes

    • if all is good, eat that little piece, and wait at least 8h

    • if all is good, eat a bigger piece, wait at least 8h

    • if all is good it’s probably safe, well, it’s not outright poisonous, but if it has any long term effects or only a certain amount gives bad effects then oh boy (like for example psybiocyn might not be very apparent if you only eat a little bit, chomp down an entire shroom though? hope you cooked it well or you’re going to be in for an impromptu trip that usually lasts ~6-8h)

    if at any step you noticed a bad thing happening - don’t eat it

    this is a general guide and i’m not a professional so like, don’t blame the internet stranger if something goes wrong.

    oh also - it doesn’t work for the destroying angel, you have to memorise how that mf looks exactly and avoid it like hell - because if you eat as much as half a cap that’s where it’ll send you, hell, by melting your organs. there is no antidote and the symptoms can start as late as 24h after digestion. the only way we figured out how to keep those who ate it alive is heavy treatments, filtering their blood (liver and kidneys go first), and transplants. whenever i remember the destroying angel exists, i thank whatever god there may be that i just do not like mushrooms in general
