[META] + alcohol

「𝔖」 In some aspects the cult of Los Iluminados prides itself upon excess. Nothing in their scripture suggests they are to abstain from 'earthly' pleasures, drugs included. We even have evidence that they may partake in smoking tobacco, opium, marijuana or hashish, as the monastery personally own hookahs, also known as shishas or waterpipes. --- Historically, even, monks have been known in the production of winemaking since The Middle Ages for the celebration of mass or for The Catholic liturgy. But, granted the Abrahamic faith adopted PRIOR practices spanning thousands of years from paganism, I'm hardly scratching the surface. There is no reason the cultists of Los Iluminados would be any different, especially as they not only have their own gardens & livestock, they also have a cellar specifically for storage of different types of alcohol. From my own personal knowledge & research, I have noted bottles of wine / champagne, jars for mead, & large kegs for beer.

As the cultists collect crates upon crates of figs & dates ( it is literally everywhere outside of the cellar ) I suspect they are brewing Boukha or Mahia with these fruits, distilled beverages originating from North Africa. Anyone familiar with the cultural / religious inspiration of Los Iluminados should know why this is appropriate. They also brew from blood & ashes, but I'm omitting that for right now as everyone ( should ) know this about The Cult by this point. --- The villagers & aristocracy, on the other hand, purchase(d) large imports of wine from France until they became isolated from the outside world. This was discovered initially by another data-miner, but the specific brand is Grand Vin de Chateau Latour, highly refined & in EXPENSIVE taste.

To emphasize more that drinking is heavily common in their society, it is a caloric supplement to aid in fasting. Darker beers especially have a large number of calories, so for monks who fast during specific periods but are allowed beverages, a high-calorie beer provides them energy & helps them complete their fasting. We know that the monks canonically fast, as some accidentally or purposely die during the process of fasting & become a form of Sokushinbutsu ( Buddhist mummy ).

Outside of regular brewing & drinking, I don't think Osmund has a frequent form of alcoholism like Ricardo Irving, or say, Leon Kennedy. Lord Saddler's coping mechanisms primarily involve heavy meditation & prayer, & he has a much different ideological view upon methods that would constitute as self-harm. To him, in general, alcohol is seen as a very positive thing, he is a relatively responsible drinker, & if he were to become drunk, I don't believe he would act wrathful --- if anything I think it would spiral him into a depressive emotional state or an energetic period of being happily loose, where he can forgo his anachronistic mannerisms & royalties.

Love that the Alien Isolation devs dropped the game into Steam and in the almost 10 YEARS it’s been out never once applied any kind of update lmfao

Like it’s not exactly BROKEN it works just fine with no game-breaking bugs (to my knowledge) but I’m still surprised? Like, nothing at all my guys?

Who knows, maybe they’ll drop something for the 10 year anniversary 👀

Decided to mess around in GMod. Mostly for art reasons. But also because Irving's pretty.
