Speaking of NPCs, have I been added? And if not, why's that?
Not yet. The game acts funny if I edit the town too often. You'll go in next update.

I'd still love to know what triggered the fight.

"Yeah, I think Dostoevsky is way overrated.*"
"DIE HERETIC!"











*He is. Crime and Punishment was one of the most annoying things I've ever read.

I've only read excerpts. Hard to believe that I'm (community) college educated without having to slog through too much lit.

Die, heretic!

I read the whole thing multiple times and did a full annotation. It's fairly remarkable. In my uneducated opinion.

Uneducated in what, auto mechanics and barfighting? Sure as hell isn't "school stuff."

I see. Yays!

edit: As for dostovjevtskji my own basis for how literature any piece literature is equal to how hard to guess the pronouncal of the name of the author is.

Clearly I was in the pool to confront my fears of water. I guess.
Also, awkwardly imposing myself on my boss and her family was... rather amusing. :))
I'm not sure why kids always like me so much. Nor am I sure why I seem to be so fascinated with the chemistry set.

Anyway, Actions: >Investigate and admire the various pieces of new stuff and artwork around the house.
Don't enter any weird portal-y looking things, though- they could be a sphere of annihilation for all I know!

>Later, drink some coffee and sit down somewhere quiet with a book. Preferably a novel of some kind.

This is what I hope to do IRL today. If I wake up a bit more, at least.

Sure, if it's on offer!
I shall remain safely on the sidelines of the Redking-Vector conflict, though... I loved C&P but I'd rather not risk my life for it stepping into the crossfire. :P

Apparently the standard English translation of Dostoyevski is famous in translator's circle for being especially terrible though. Vector, do you know who translated your copy?

Given that Vector speaks Russian, I'm going to put my money on no one.

Vector speaks Russian? I didn't know that. Wow, my Vector-worship-indicator just went one up. That could explain why she liked C&P while RedKing didn't. She got to enjoy Dostojevski's Russian, while RedKing only got a translation. Unless RedKing also speaks Russian, and you're all KGB agents or something.

No, RedKing is just a Chinese spy. It is the source of his argument with KGB Vector.

I'll just say that Vector is a polyglot. Yeah. She's ossum. :3
And I need to read more authors and their works. I..have no idea who Dostojevski is ._.
I know. The shame. It burns. Ahh...

Also...handegg? o_O
That's...football right?
I'm unsophisticated! Ahh!

Also2, Sappho's inventions are tiny and cute. Little wind-ups they are.
...Somewhat reminds me of Mechanarium. But a ton more..structured and less clunky.


I picked "World Class Surgeon" but I can change it if you want me to.
Medicine *_*
I'm totally happy with that!



> TEA, in the teahaus! If...there are different samples of tea, try them all! And then settle for my favorite tea, if that's a thing there.
> Read books on Logic (do we have a local library if we lack books?), because I want to know what is elevator. [Generally any book which is important--if there's a local library, get there! {Not necessarily Logic})

I tried to read Dostojevsky once. Didn't get very far. Soooo booooring.

However, knowing what I now know about Russian culture in general (living in a former Russian-communist country), I can see why it's popular with Russians. I saw a Russian film once... Just long, long sequences of silence and not really anything happening. Just like Dostojevsky! Don't really know why non-Russian-speakers like it, though. In university I always assumed people just pretended to like it in order to sound sophisticated.

So, everyone's thinking it, I'm just gonna come out and ask it: who won the game of handegg?
