kinnabari Link ParentI love cashews, but it turns out I'm allergic. I still eat them, and then complain about it. I guess I just assumed it's normal for your mouth to itch after eating nuts.I love cashews, but it turns out I'm allergic. I still eat them, and then complain about it.

It's one hundred percent advertising for their franchise, but it's a well made game, and clearly someone had fun making it.

Got it figured out, and have been informed that I swaped around the controls in an annoying way.Just realized I'm not the only person in the house who likes Minecraft.

Everyone in the book belongs to one of the six royal houses. What this means is that there are only six last names. People are also referred to by their rank in the military, and as a mythical creature associated with their house. For example, Shuos Jedao is just as likely to be called general, as he is to be called the Immolation Fox.

The author also has a more action-packed series set in the same universe.

I also got a dress that's old-fashioned, and elegant, while being practical enough to wear to a babysitting job, so I might dress up as Mary Dunlavy instead.

A fun adventure based on fairy tales, with a werewolf hunter who got turned into a child, a fire witch named Cinderella, and a plot twist that I never would have seen coming.
Also read A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation. The way Lizel treated everything as a casual outing, even when they were fighting a dragon. Gil's annoyance with all the random people who decide to join Lizel is hilarious.

Tunic was a lesson in nonverbal storytelling, and the player's understanding of the world changes drastically after certain events. When you get more context, you end up completely reinterpreting the same pictures. It also adds a meta component, in which the game guide is a physical item you have to collect. -

And in English, bear just comes from the word "brown." There was a proper word meaning bear, but it was a superstition at the time that if you said the word bear, a bear would come out of the woods and eat you. So everyone just called them the brown things, and forgot their real name.
