I like the idea of giving Zirc random objects throughout the game (such as the Pie Crimper won from the Drywall Witch) but then I have to figure out things for them all to do; on the one hand I don't want the game to get too complicated, but on the other hand it might be too funny to pass up. So. Why should this man have access to a Pie Crimper, and what else should he have?

(and should he get a special outfit with each)

Mega Man could get away with a lot of items that each shoot bullets in different directions but Zirc can't shoot; besides a wider or longer blade or one that sticks out of different spots I'm not sure what different shapes and arrays. I mean I guess he could get a gun at some point. I guess.

Elemental damage types are a thing, but then you have to make all the enemies strong/weak to them each, and then since it's not turn based you have to make it clear when looking at them what type they are, and that sounds contradicts the messy aesthetic I want. Also it's complicated and I don't want to.

If there's gonna be puzzles anyway I guess there could be a full inventory screen where he's gotta save up objects and use them as needed. Like a point-and-click puzzle adventure except with the clever dialog and plot replaced by shmup space battling? I guess it's an option. You collect various objects through the course of the game and can equip them at any time but they're hardly ever useful? Can't tell if that would be funny or annoying

Funniest option: characters keep trying to give him items but he won't put the knife down

A few options: pie crimper, broadsword, poison dagger, chainsaw, scissors, safety razor, mug/cup for carrying liquid, pizza cutter, hammer, drumstick (for drums), drumstick (Ren Faire turkey leg), fork, fork with a hot pepper on it, spork, chopsticks / tongs to grab enemies, spatula, potato masher, cheese grater, lighter, taser, spray bottle of holy water, fishing rod, frying pan, whisk, ping-pong paddle to reflect attacks, flashlight, air horn, lemon wedge, cigarette, stapler, highlighter, evil eyeball, magic crystal, weird rock, candle snuffer, nunchucks, fan, video game controller, handful of cash, power drill, screwdriver, toilet brush, vegetable peeler, fly swatter, steam iron, feather duster, squeegee, lint roller, salt shaker, bottle opener, corkscrew, curling iron, toothbrush, citrus zester, those strainer things they have in cocktail kits that I don't know what they're called, am I seriously trying to make a list of all the objects you can hold in your hand while lying in bed at 2am again wondering why I never get enough sleep,

Pi is an important concept in mathematics, and is generally expressed as 3.14 with an endless decimal continuation. If math’s not your thing, you can always celebrate with some rational baking skills. Happy Pi Day!

[Video desc: Four images of scrimshaw artifacts: sperm whale teeth with whaling scenes etched on them, a sculpture of a woman at a spinning wheel, a pie crimper, and a corset busk. Transcript follows below.]

Animal death mention//

Another little section from my dry run of just talking through slides in preparation for a talk I gave on Going to Weather last week. Apologies for all the filler words and general muddling; I swear I'm a better speaker when I'm not just talking to myself! Here's the transcript:

"Some of the most common ones would be scenes etched on whale teeth like in the upper left corner there and sometimes they were whaling scenes, uh, sometimes they were copies of existing paintings or illustrations, but there are also others that are more, um, sculptural, right. So in the middle there is an automaton of this little woman at a spinning wheel, and it works, and so you turn a gear and all of her little wheels move and her thread moves. And a lot of the objects were really these, like, little homegoods. Right. So in the upper right corner, that’s a pie crimper. Uh people would make yarn swifts and needle cases and little cutlery boxes. Uh, down at the bottom, that is a busk that you’d put in the front of a corset, right, to maintain the posture.

And so that was another thing that really interested me, right, with this sort of folk art that we’re seeing that’s being made in the long stretches of boredom when one is not hunting a whale. And it’s this bone, right, this ivory, that was, you know, pulled from an animal that died horribly and is just sort of softened into this little domestic item—and that’s true of the entire industry, again, like, everything that’s happening here, the pain, the sort of loss of limb and life, all of that is in service to domestic items, homegoods, candles, oil, what have you.

But with the scrimshaw, I mean, sometimes—a lot of times—people are making them with the intention to sell them, but a lot of times they’re also being made for gifts. And so that’s something that really interested me about this, because it’s really giving a sense of like, what are people’s minds turning to in those long, sort of, stretches. What are they holding on to? And that’s sort of a narrative thesis that I really try to maintain throughout Going to Weather is, you know, in the midst in all this, throughout all of this, where are people’s hearts in this place? And what led them there, but what are they really holding onto throughout all of that. That’s…you know, the story that I see behind pieces like this."

Trick or treat please? 🎃🎃🎃

Happy Halloween! Here’s an antique rabbit pie crimper.

[thedurvin]

I was being tempted to create LORE but instead actually it's a SURPRISE FARMING/COOKING LEVEL where Zirc gets stuck on the Drywall Planet trapped by the knife-proof Drywall Witch and the only way you can escape is to pick the right fruits to make a pie for the Witch's giant daughter Betsey; make the wrong one and you have to fight her (and then return to the Parlor), make the right one and go free. Not totally sure yet what right and wrong actually are; do each of the fruits give her a different ammo during the fights? And then you just have to give her enough of one that she explodes? Idk. Hell, maybe the whole thing is a side-mission where you win a special Pruning Knife or Pie Crimper or something

Ugh it's so tempting to worldbuild with this stupid game and come up with a reason why there's a gigantic creepy doll at the end of the Drywall Planet

Baking season is in full swing, and what would your pastries be without a little crimping? This 19th century pastry cutter is part of our arts & artifacts collection, and a necessary tool in 1866. Remember to avoid those soggy bottoms!
