Also i recommend using a different version of Dosbox like DAUM or Staging so that you can use shader filters. I use a CRT shader filter since it makes the game much much easier on the eyes compared to the raw bright pixels you get by default.

Ultima IV is always a bit of a nightmare, you need to write notes for every bit of text you find so that you can type it in to ask NPCs about it. Really cool idea for a game but I'm not patient enough to wander around collecting clues and typing the clues to every random NPC I find.

the funny thing is that the 10th anniversary release for Windows still had that in and it didn't come with a manual, just a quick reference guide but that one still had the spell costs to bypass this. I got trolled by this because I didn't have it printed out and didn't know how to get out of DosBox, so I had to redo the dungeon

Fun game, the tutorial dungeon is one of the goats imo. Unrivaled atmosphere. It also has the best combat in the series by far

nostr:npub1g0uss0sjsgxwmhqxgnvlj0zv9ru89xwfyktkcjc0kgy8syxj79ss383vfw are these references to specific people???? The second one sounds on-brand for Aella (the rat who was into torturing people, yes, it's a stunning reversal of usual bio lab power relations)

nostr:npub1pt6l3a97fvywrxdlr7j0q8j2klwntng35c40cuhj2xmsxmz696uqfr6mf6 The first one is from the person you linked, his bio says ice cream maker. The second is Aella yes who posted once about how she showers like once a month. And yes I know all about the Aella physical torture orgies. Don't do LSD kids. Or at least, don't do LSD every single day for an entire year.

I'd say mine is slightly negative but I prefer to focus on things I can actually change

(as a side note, this guy looks very good, is tall, has perfect hair, a great build, and somehow he convinced himself that he's a subhuman and gave up on all meaningful pursuits. this stuff is poison)

but yeah, this kind of knowledge can be fun to pull out. many of my acquaintances are Czech so they can bear hearing nastier stuff, but you can tell they haven't really been exposed to some of the more vile things. a good example is cuckolding, when I described the gist of it they were just extremely puzzled and didn't understand the appeal at all

I pinkie promised a nun that I wouldn't be a misogynist, and as childish as it seems, I put an absurdly high value on pinkie promises. With that disclaimer, I feel like women would have a total breakdown if they found out about all the physiognomy stuff.

I'm not saying that every woman needs to be fat or something, but I do think that general society put some pretty bad standards on women and emphasize the wrong things (being dainty and twig-like instead of working out and eating healthy), emphasized in day-to-day life. A lot of women focus solely on being desirable to men, and this desire exists in way too high of a measure even in women who do actually take themselves seriously, as real humans with real hobbies. Women get so focused on reaching societal beauty standards that they end up developing weird neuroses about this.

Given that this weird pressure exists on a societal level, I think introducing my friend to canthal tilt might have gotten to her more than I expected (she brought up a picture of Mother Mary in her apartment that had negative canthal tilt the next day, plausibly as a joke but I'm not sure). I hope it didn't make her neurotic about her own canthal tilt, because I'd feel awful if it did (especially since this spawned out of a joke between me and my roommate about his canthal tilt and her happening to be at our place when this happened).

Fortunately she has too much schoolwork to get further into physiognomy autism.

I think social media and advertising makes things really hard for women. No longer are you competing with other women but you're competing with plastic surgery and photoshop and professional lighting. I see this a lot where men will call a beautiful woman mid just because she doesn't look like some produced-in-a-factory magazine model. It frustrates me and it frustrates me when other women treat beauty as a competition and put others down.

A lot of my irl friends are total normies, and being someone who was terminally online for years, it's a weird feeling having access to arcane knowledge that nobody else knows about. I remember having to explain to one of my friends, this innocent Catholic girl, what canthal tilt was.

Wait until they hear about the Hajnal line
