I wonder how many screenshots from this campaign are going to be mistaken for Watcher gameplay footage. It’s a good thing this campaign isn’t common knowledge; it’s not for the faint of heart . . . or the average of heart.

a specimen monitoring device. File was quarantined for inspection.

I'm glad that those tomatoes only kill you after they get separated
from their vines. I can't imagine them making an excuse for flying a helicopter over farm fields, blasting poor jokes over a loudspeaker.

Assassination attempt catastrophically failed. When baited, target
dove after bait, but emerged with both bait and sea monster in hand.
Sea monster pulled down captain's pants in front of the whole crew
(he was wearing underwear, don't worry) and caused minor damage.
Assassination target escaped with bait.

Log bio-encrypted into unreadable Hexite for safety reasons.I'm currently feeling a glow for a community SMP Minecraft server. It's a shame that Scratching The Surface is currently dead as a whole. Scratch Empires, the only other active Minecraft server that I know of, isn't exactly a community SMP, has some controversy around it, and appears to have had its topic on the Scratch forums deleted.
Icelandic Water Dragon: *watches an advertisement for a chat service, which is doing a bad job at concealing its target demographic*
Icelandic Waters #1: “I feel like I should've reported that, even if I did it just to complain about it. But I don't see an information button on the ad, other than the ‘learn more’ button.”
Icelandic Waters #2: “I'm sure that the advertisement companies are intentionally letting them slide. After all, it hasn't been long since <72739 62824> has shown its face. You’d probably get in trouble for false reporting.”
Icelandic Waters #3: “Haha, then so be it! I'll show those companies that my nose isn't worth their patience. I'll report every ad in sight. My inquiries would clog their logs faster than bismuth in a server room. They'll get so desperate that they'll deny me service . . . by not showing me advertisements! I'll pick on every last one of them! It'll be the ultimate ad blocker!! BWAHAHAHAHAAAHHH!!!!!!”
Icelandic Waters #2: “. . . you're still going to get into legal trouble if you do that.”
Cantiviler: “My apologies, miss.” *muffled scream*
Icelandic Waters #1: “They're probably going to mistake this for a lens cap photo.”
Icelandic Waters #2: “I mean, if you reverse-taxonomize this scene, this is similar to a lens cap photo. What they have in common are that they were taken very close to physical matter in such a way that little to no light made it to the camera. The only difference is that the light barrier in a lens cap photo is made of plastic, whereas the “lens cap” in this scene is made of some unknown textile.”
Cantiviler: (after catching up on the latest teasers for The Watcher) “Consider . . . consider . . . consdier . . .”
Icelandic Waters: “Consider slapping a ‘DO NOT DRINK’ label on a table saw, a sanding tool, or some other kind of electronic cutting implement. You'll get so many double takes!”
How many <583>s does the <456225 622858 362548466> catalogue? It must seem like the supernatural is a vast hydra — two new heads sprouting for each that is cut off. How long will you keep cutting?
How many <727> items does the <3686328466> contain now? Two thousand? Three thousand? Five? More? How long before there is no more room for prisons to be constructed? Will you put the whole world in a containment cell?
You admit it to yourselves, privately. The anomalous is on the rise. You cannot hold back the future forever.
You are the monsters you are so afraid of. Let go of your fear, and join us in the light.
And if you will not… if you keep imprisoning and killing innocents, if you keep forcing the world to stay in the dark… then you will meet the fate of all the slavers and murderers in the worlds' history before you.
We will free those you keep imprisoned. We will rescue those you try to kill.
…
We are the <73773687 4263>.
- a writing that I read earlier today
I took a closer look at this screenshot from The Watcher, and I noticed . . . dandelion peaches. I thought those things were exclusive to MSc ( https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Dandelion_Peach ) . . .
While experimenting with visual effects in Rhythm Doctor, I found an interesting way to use visual effects that even I don't entirely understand. The effect produces a hazy, color-inverted backing for rows. However, there are actually two rows in two rooms used to make the effect.
Because of this, I came up with a use for them. Most of the time, the two rows would copy their movements and be indistinguishable. However, properties such as syncopation and row Xs won't always sync. There could also be unique sub-gimmicks between the shadows. And I haven't even thought about how oneshot rows would behave with the shadow…
Make sure to use caution when connecting old devices to your iCloud account. It may be able to connect, but the modern security protocols might throw the device for a loop. My only question is, how the heck does it know what an iPhone 13 mini is?!
Last night, I recorded some of my findings from my old iPad, but I couldn't find the written portion of Coy. I sure do hope that I didn't destroy it. But at the very least, I learned about Birds and Boats, the hydrokinetic leaders of the interloping Rain Pack. I also found those old schematics that I previously mentioned, but I didn't record them.
Here's what I have so far:
Eggbug Gluttony: If you kill an Eggbug and discover that there are too many eggs to eat, you can make bringing them back to a shelter worth your while. Combine the leftover eggs with loose rocks to upgrade them into Noodlefly eggs. After hibernation, each egg will hatch 2-3 baby noodleflies, each of which gives 2 food pips when eaten. An investment in two eggs will result in 8-12 pips’ worth of noots!
Gooieduck Enhancement: Using a mushroom, you can convert lots of items into nutritious gooieducks. Spore Puffs, Beehives, Blue Fruit, Jellyfish, Eggbug Eggs, Lillypucks, Glow Weed, Batflies, Dandelion Peaches, Centipedes and Vulture Grubs can all be crafted into gooieducks. Using a spore puff instead, you can convert Mushrooms, Grenades and Bubble Fruit into gooieducks.
Grenade: Combine a rock and a cherrybomb to get a grenade in a hurry. You can also add a rock to some batnip to get a cherrybomb.
I'll cut off my findings here; I just unlocked some very old and very valuable archives!
In my Rain World Materials photo library, I have an exhaustive grid of all of Gourmand crafting recipes. I've taken note of some useful recipes, so I'm going to convert them into a more visually friendly format and share them here.
