Spinning Disks is a feature where I collect thoughts on a smattering of games I’ve been playing lately, over the last three months. Often th
Here's my first quartly entry of Spinning Discs for this year! I've tried something a little different this time 'round and gone for some longer thoughts than I usually do with these entries, so please, take your time with it. This entry has got a mix of stuff I've been enjoying and some stuff I haven't liked as much!
ah damn.. right as i was about to be heading towards town hall too...
clocked ticked over to midnight without me realising and i watched npcs i was just about to trade with vanish in front of my face before the midnight message popped up
heh... didn't have much else to do
capella having a spoken like "i think you've bound us" okaaaaaaaaaaaay!
DUDE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?? GRACE????
ok so last time, when i talked to grace i think murky was about in the cemetary? or came up to me - can't quite recall but they lead me to where like - ok let's get my chicks in order here:
murky told me that grace can chat to the dead but it is killing her, i think clara told her that and it was relayed to burakh through murky, i follow murky out to where some herbs are and return to grace, but deny her the option to communicate with isidor (the thread of a cure was left lingering...)
this time, i'm on my way to town hall to talk to saburov and get the key to isidor's house. clara is hanging around some gate, so i go and talk to her - she tells me, right this instant, that grace is talking to isidor. on the other side of town. what the hellllllllllll!!!!!!
i was going to try and ask her to do it this time but the game has beaten me to the punch...?
GAH maybe i should've gone to notkin first... hmm not before i have access to the tinctures i think... although i wonder if... no, that's day 3 isn't it.

i am glad i know now that the buzzing fly sounds is the audio tell for herbs. i kept hearing it whenever i was near bins, so much like the audio for dogs barking and lids dropping and cats - the sounds of the town - i assumed it was just an environmental audio thing. but now i hear the buzz and snap my head around looking at the ground for the herbs
wait what did i just get
OOUGH I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE HUGGED HER IN MY OTHER PREVIOUS FILE ;-;
wait wait weait - back when i first played this like six years ago i think i got that conversation that allows for the hug, but i picked hte choice where burakh says 'he is covered in blood' so doesn't want her to hug him. AUGH
aspity i am going to need that fucking inventory upgrade NOW
thank you ^_^

More than "here in the Southern Hemisphere we have inverted seasons :)" thing, which is TECHNICALLY true, I would go a step further and encourage to think about that "much of the world does not exactly has a spring-summer-fall-winter season sequence as they show in cartoons"
I will scream about this to anyone who listens forever. AUSTRALIA DOES NOT HAVE "ENGLISH SEASONS BUT BACKWARDS" and the insistence that it does creates a massive layer of alienation from the natural world.
I never really realised how much difference it makes until I went to England and realised that here the change of seasons is an obvious, visible, physical change in the world. Like, everything REALLY IS orange and foggy in autumn! In spring there are flowers EVERYWHERE, so much more than any other season, and the trees really do have all blossom and no leaves. Even if it doesn't snow, in winter there's frost all the time and the trees are bare and the sky is visibly greyer all the time. You don't need to be told "this date is the first day of spring", you can SEE IT (although this is getting way messier and less precise due to climate change).
By contrast, most places in Australia the seasons we're taught feel like arbitrary categories - and is it any surprise considering they're colonial constructs? Orange-leaved autumn and blossom-covered spring is a cartoon stereotype with no relevance on a continent where ALL NATIVE TREES ARE EVERGREEN!! Snowy winters are a joke in the desert, and even sunny summers don't ring particularly true considering that much of the country is in the tropics, where summer means monsoons - not that I've ever seen the concept that WE HAVE A MONSOON SEASON taught at an Australian school.
Most Indigenous nations around Australia had six or more seasons, revolving around wet and dry times as much as hot and cold, and marked by the appearances of certain native animals and flowers. Schools need to start teaching the real seasons, and explaining that climate cycles are too complex to generalise globally, or else we will keep raising generations who view the natural world as hostile and unpredictable and climate predictions as generally irrelevent and frequently wrong - and I'm sure I don't need to spell out why that's a problem in the era of climate crisis.
i want to add that 40% of the world's population lives in the tropics, and the 4 season model just doesn't make much sense for a lot of places in there. usually it's just the wet season/monsoon season and the dry season. it's often hot year round.
the 4 season model as you and i know it is a european invention, though 4 season models aren't unique to europe! most notably china has the same type of season subdivision.
in general the way humans define seasons is largely subjective and varies across cultures. the one you were taught is not at all universal!
hmm this is my second time prepping up in day 1 and i have a feeling herbs do not really spawn in their suggested areas like at all in day 1 ? or i am very unlucky?
#i don't hear them anywhere and aside from the roughly 3x from roots you can get on this day... oh damn i should'vedrained the corpses from#the station... would've been three more bottles of blood. ... hmm
day 2 technically hasn't started yet...
