No. Testicles, though lacking the raw strength of Muscles or the courage of elder Uncles, would not be separated from steadfast Principles. Though many tried to insult him with nicknames like “Tubercles” or “Microparticles”, those could never stick like they did to poor Treacles or restrain his vigor like heavy Manacles.

Tired of senseless Debacles, he studied scholarly Articles and read ancient Chronicles and prayed nightly for the most magnificent Miracles. Finally one day while meditating, a vision of complex Epicycles formed in the most profound Tabernacles of his mind. He awoke to realize it mattered not what hateful words prodded him like chilly Icicles; he was already atop the Pinnacles of manliness, and he wasn’t alone. From that day forth he hung proudly with his wiry protector, the hideous and patchy Follicles no one dared approach.

I used to think it was just a social in-group/out-group thing, so English speakers could more easily spot foreigners for not knowing the odd pronunciations. But the more I learn about language the more I think of the adage “don’t ascribe malice to what could be adequately explained by incompetence”.

With how many speakers use English, I now think it just gets jumbled and mangled over time and there’s no real central authority to correct for that. Ultimately that makes our words sound weirder and more colorful so it’s not the worst thing, especially once you understand that even native speakers don’t know how to pronounce most large words until heard.

Yeah, almost looks like pet food in that shape haha

Yeah take a break for a while, collect more Scadutree fragments, maybe adjust your build toward holy or pierce, don’t forget items like the boltdrake talisman and lightningproof liver and of course your flask of physick, and try an aggressive spirit ash to take some of the aggro off you.

And remember this is an optional boss so it’s not gating any other content.

Unless it’s supposed to be gazpacho, I’m sure it’s fine if you just heat it and stir it a bit.

That’s a dove and olives representing peace, right? Pretty good.

Huh, I never even considered that. I guess I always thought of Clear Sky and CoP as standalone expansions of the first game.

Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁

Oh yay, new trailer for STALKER 2.
