i was looking for the one Klaus Drucker quote and found someone pointing out that St. Grobian says "A whole lot of inconceivable shit happens on this hell of an earth, Andreas"

which uh. reminiscent of "this bitch of an earth"—> WAS this line potentially influenced by tumblr (...or similar)?!

anyway I think possibly St. Grobian would do well on tumblr...

Hello friends and please behold my own personal masterpiece, an as-comprehensive-as-I-could-make-it "Which character are you?" quiz for Pentiment with thirty-six different possible results.

Please be warned that there are spoilers for the game within, in both the structure of the quiz and some of the descriptions in the results! That said, I have poured a lot into this and I am so curious to see what results people get, so I would love if folks gave it a look.

One thing I love about pentiment is that if you take a look at global achievements statistics on steam a high number of players has completed the first case AND discovered the secret entrance to the library which means they learned about sister matilda's secret (if they also choose to speak to the mother superior after that but still). And yet the achievement for exposing sister matilda as the culprit has one of the lowest percentages and this means that people learned about that fucking rapist piece of shit and went "sister matilda you did absolutely nothing wrong beloved <3 have fun standing next to a bloodstained shovel with your very strong motive i won't say a thing" and they in fact did not <3

Three weeks have passed - and it's time for me to reveal my full piece created for Palimpsest: A Pentiment Fanzine! @palimpsestzine

This zine was a true labor of love and am so honored to have had the chance to participate in it. I hope you enjoy my humble contribution!

Reminder that the zine is pay-what-you-want, and all the received funds will be donated to Librarian and Archivists with Palestine. Please, give a thought of giving a tip as donations will be open until April 30th!

Okay but I feel like by Renaissance standards he is much more of a dropout

Even though Andreas has a Master's degree, the Renaissance-era Master's degree was largely a continuation of the same trivium/quadrivum liberal arts studies that got you a Bachelor's degree (in universities that even offered a Bachelor's -- they didn't always, though I believe most German universities did). It's not like the system of today where Master's and Doctoral students are likely to have majored in something similar in undergrad -- until the Doctoral level, everyone was studying the same thing. In order to even begin in one of the areas of Doctoral study, you had to already have your Master's.

So while Andreas technically got a degree, it's a degree that largely would have allowed him to teach entry-level university students, or at a local Latin school. As far as his actual career goals (whether you choose Law, Theology, or Medicine), it's completely useless, and amounts to a lot of wasted time/money. Depending on when he dropped out, he might only have gotten a year or two of instruction in whatever he intended to study -- and after around six years of studying just to get to that point, too.

It's not a 1:1 but it almost feels a bit like someone doing fine in their gen eds and then completely burning out when they hit the bulk of their more relevant upper division coursework or around the time they were supposed to declare a major* than it does a modern grad student Mastering out of their PhD program, which I think adds a lot to Andreas being so worried about burning out as an artist, too.

*extremely US-centric metaphor here but it's the modern university system I'm most familiar with, there might be others that fit better

I love how everyone’s like “Andreas is a university dropout” but he has a masters degree

My piece for @palimpsestzine ! I had a wonderful time working on this alongside such incredible organizers and artists. I adore this game and I adored working on this project!

You can download the zine here! It was put together with SO much care and detail, and everyone's contributions are stunning. Any proceeds go to Librarians With Palestine!

deep in my heart i know i wasnt meant to be a girl at school. i was meant to be a balding, very rotund Franciscan friar who worked illustrating manuscripts in the scriptorium.

This exchange is still so darkly funny to me. You make flour.

[girlscarpia]

It's so funny in Pentiment when someone says "God bless you 😔🙏" and they actually mean "Get the fuck out of here I hate to look at your fucking face"
