That orange dish is interesting, I'd love to know if it was actual food or a show-off dish for the host to flaunt their wealth and access to imported fruits/spices.

I assume it's a mixture, since my limited citrus knowledge is that oranges would've been a (fairly bitter) delicacy during the 16th century. Boiling them in syrup or something similar to offset the bitterness isn't a bad guess.

It's easy you just make rye bread but you use rye grain that has ergot alkaloids on it.

I don't know, that book actually sounds utterly fascinating. "Ginzburg was one of the first historians to start popularizing micro-historical examinations of what could today be classified as weird little dudes."

quote:At the heart of it all was his belief that all the elements combined at creation into a cheese-like mass out of which worms appeared. The worms ate through the cheese, one of him became God, and the rest is history. definitely sounds like a weird little dude thought up this theory.

So I'm a expecting an 8-10 hour runtime, broken into a series of separate chapters, a time-limit akin to Disco Elysium, and some overarching conspiracy to give the story a spine. Either way I've already bought it. Maybe there will be New Game + bonus and penalty modifiers like in Deadfire? I will recommend Case of the Golden Idol for anyone who wants another historical detective game but can't erase their memory of the Obra Dinn, so they can enjoy it again.

I think rope kid said it’d be more in the 15-20 hour range. Challenge skulls in a hidden UI element would be a pretty sick idea for an update though. Make one force you to play in Latin or something.

SpiritOfLenin posted:definitely sounds like a weird little dude thought up this theory. And not just any weird little dude either ! The guy was a miller. Which, in medieval terms, is sort of like being the regional manager of some big brand or other - upper middle class, lower bourgeoisie. He was rich-ish. He, quite literally, owned the means of production. Living a comfortable life. He had enough money that he splurged it on *books*, of all things. Not only did he know exactly what he risked by running his mouth, he had every material incentive to shut the gently caress up about his weird dumb poo poo. And yet, he never really did. Well, he paused for some time after the first trial, before the urge to Say The Weird Dumb poo poo became too hard to resist. The man had the heart and soul of A Poster long, long before posting ever was. And he was murdered over it. Hats off, memelords. Fs in chat. Pour 'em for a real one.

Also notable that extreme operatic (in the big and scary sense, not cheesy) metal singer/composer fka Lingua Ignota cut a track for the OST. I’m told it rips

I came to say that I am unreasonably excited for this game but now I'm unreasonably excited to get my hands on a copy of Dürer’s Journeys. That book sounds awesome.

Just how dumb was the "historical accuracy" claim made by Kingdom Come Deliverance? I got that game for free but never bothered with it because it's an open-world game built on Cryengine and has a terrible save-system.

Inspector Gesicht posted:Just how dumb was the "historical accuracy" claim made by Kingdom Come Deliverance? more problematic than dumb. They did have actual historians they consulted in making the game, and a lot of the game zones are based directly on, like, scans of actual castles that are still standing. And the combat was based pretty directly on medieval fightbooks via HEMA re-enactors. There's a weird undercurrent of Czech nationalism etc. in the game though and there's plenty of stuff that doesn't show up in the game but that could have historically with no problems (e.g., everyone is white, even though there would have been plenty of foreign trade, etc.) The overall sin is that they present the game's history as definitive ("we got it right" type thing) rather than debated.

ilitarist posted:https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/11/10/recommended-reading-of-medieval-history-from-josh-sawyer/ Wheeeee I have a longer reading list thanks! I'm going to kramer a link into this thread because in my head it's relevant -- A few years ago I did a Let's Read of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle. You can read it here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3934938 Since the Robin Hood ballads were all set in the 1100's to 1300's, and written down in the 1400's to 1600's, Pyle used an art style to illustrate them that very consciously called back to Durer and other engravers:  Anyway, a free download book to read while the game downloads!

Hieronymous Alloy posted:The overall sin is that they present the game's history as definitive ("we got it right" type thing) rather than debated. Yeah, it was ugly back and forth between the director (or lead designer, doesn't matter) and other people with a lot of strawman stuff. He concentrated on people asking for more ethnic diversity by quoting historians about how unlikely such a thing would be in their setting, which would be fair if he made a documentary. But he made a game about a smith's son who never held a sword in his hand before the start of the game becoming buddies with the nobles, saving the kingdom, optionally using alchemy and all that jazz. The dev couldn't just stop after saying "sorry, we're making a game with a specific scope", he continued to hammer on the idea he makes the objectively right thing.
