[@WolfVidya]

I've played uncountable ocd/autism simulators through the years, almost all of them, even all of what Sseth's recommended in his reviews. However, I went and bought this game and it's so much more painfully mental than what even Sseth is capable of describing, it is just daunting. I seriously just couldn't deal with it all. Great reaction by the way, loving your content.

[@lkaryy]

So is the game good?

[@arsenelupin530]

@@lkaryy take it like this, if you rage-quit Rimworld because you can't be bothered to go along with the colonist that are rather cleaning the settlement instead of farming, harvesting crops, leaving them on rain to spoil then dying of starvation, or reverse, forcing them to haul crops, but then their mental state breaks and start pigging on last food, start shooting people or setting entire settlement on fire Then no. That is not a good game for you specifically But if you can hold onto what Chinese Rimworld has to offer, aren't a raqe-quiter, very calm and collected person, it will probably be good for you

[@pirig-gal]

@@arsenelupin530I love and have patience for DF/Rimworld syle games (Losing is fun!), but the game theme is what pushed me from trying it out. I just don't enjoy the wuxia novels. Most of them are badly written and/or straight up copying the one or two ancient chinese stories out there, only worse.

[@Andr-Eix]

as someone who's read a shit ton of wuxia - sometimes i still don't know what the fuck is going on

[@melikechoc0]

Even then, wuxia doesnt even cover most of this game because wuxia doesnt deal with deities and cultivation. This game is in the realm of xianxia which is like, lord of the rings, (LOTR) ....... on crack. Imagine LOTR but there's heaven......... which also is having its own LOTR.

[@thedarkgenious7967]

I'ma be honest I barely even differentiate between Wuxia and Xanxia. Doesn't help the old translation site I used to read on had both but didn't bother to explain the difference, at least until it became a hodgepodge wall of paywalls and timegates and "you can read 1-2 chapters a day or pay through the nose for every one after"

[@Berdox_]

I just use "perfectly legal" 3rd party sites to get past the pay walls

[@marcelosilveira2276]

1:37 “cultivation” is an ancient taoist belief also called “internal alchemy”, through which the taoist caultivates his internal energy, not rice, and trough the refining of his internal/vital energy/chi he unlocks supernatural power and, eventually, stop aging (a “imortal” can still be killed, the tittle mearely means he stops aging). Think Crouching Tigers, Hiden Dragons, in which they use their chi to pratice wire-fu, perform some other impossible acts, slow down poisoning etc. the ex-monk starts the movie saying that he was on the verge of reaching immortality, but felt he couldn’t make the leap (because of his attachment to his brother’s widow) and abandon the monastic life.

[@aokhoinguyenang3992]

_ This game contain pretty much every cultivation elements, principles & tropes. So by the time you have mastered all the mechanic you'll probably ascent into a transcendent being in real live _ External alchemy(I mean making immortal medicents, not normal medicine) has fallen out of favor(mainstream wise) ever since alchemists tried to sell mercury to Qin Shi Huangdi as immortality medicine + another result was the gunpowder, neither would extend your life.

Cultivation in the sense of Chinese mythology is basically honing your mind and body to the ends of not just spiritual enlightenment, but also physical nigh-deification. It's using your willpower to condense the literal power within you to surpass your own limits and ascend to new heights. Most commonly, it's used in reference to either becoming something like an avatar of war or achieving immortality like the Jade Emperor. It's a display of strength as well as proof that your spirit is stronger than your enemies, which is actually more in line with the truth. The perceived power of actual humans played a distinct role in Chinese history when it comes to characters like Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Guan Yu or the Empty Fort Strategy.

[@southanime]

8:20 in one of the corners of every starting map is a sleeping demon that in one (in game) year, will wake up and destroy everything. I recommend mining and smelting all igneocopper in the map and build him a little doghouse for it. It will slow cook it and you will gain pretty useful items

[@joshuaanderson1712]

So, I have to ask, how do you get the demon into the doghouse? Do you go to where it's sleeping and build it on top of the demon or do you wait until it wakes up, how is this done?

24:37 the swastika was a budhist symbol even older than China that the nazis tilted to the wrong side and adopted as a symbol for the arians, an indo-european ppl (that is, a ppl that migrate from india to europe a long time ago) that was looking to retie themselves to india (hitler even wrote to ghandi, saying how much he admired the man and asking for his help in defeating UK). In asia (except russia) it retains it’s original meaning to this day. Imagine, for example, that some chinese dude starts going around promoting genocide while holding a cross. He isn’t cristhian, even says so, but he liked the drawing of a cross and is now using it as the symbol for his genocigin faction… would we, in the west, stop seen the cross as a symbol of christianity just because some weirdo half a world away decided to brand himself with it and do some shit? Well, the East decided to ignore the nazi shenanigans and keep using their swastikas as it was meant to be used

[@joshfield5801]

I think the Nazi symbol was a symbol for the norse god thor that the Nazis adopted

[@marcelosilveira2276]

@@joshfield5801 that was the double lightining that ppl often mistake for a pair of "S"

[@ma.2089]

Not just that, they refer to them as swastik or manju. So there’s even a verbal diff between the two.

[@jacthing1]

You know...I wonder if Hitler got the idea when he saw the symbol in a painting or something and then accidentally knocked the painting askew

[@weabootrash5891]

I mean, the Swastika is also super present throughout much of European culture before the Nazis as well. There are a LOT of old churches throughout Europe that'll have them plastered all over the walls and floors. Various symbols throughout Pagan religions are also directly tied in with the same general look and aesthetic of the Swastika. It's likely he simply saw the symbol at some church and decided to adopt it there,

[@exorikk]

I have been waiting for this reaction. It's one of my favorite videos from Sseth.

I bought the game, it is a wonderfully complicated game.

[@jakeking974]

I'm currently knee-deep in my first ever successful Kenshi run (successful meaning my starting party wasn't destroyed within the first week) and seeing how far I can take my own stupidity (I save scummed because my main guy tried fighting a White Wolf solo while the rest of the crew was away, resulting in him dying after like three weeks in-game), but I'm definitely checking this out at some point.

[@alexanderelliott8065]

If you plan on playing this game just remember to build your bedroom with a North facing door, a wood bed and a copper lantern :) (Do not do this unless you want your disciple to die in anguish)

[@gampie13]

you should read some wuxia novels, and you will understand that this game, is just the exageration, but some times not... reccomend reading novels by Er Gen, "I shal seal the hevens for a mixed bag of humor and serius, Renegade Immortal for the dark and serius, and A will eternal for mostly comedy. If you are new to wuxia novels, then Warlock of the Magus World, by The Plagerist is a good read, as it is wuxia, just skinned in a european sword and sorcery theme, think king arthur and the knights of the round and the magic between the morrigan and merlin.

[@TheChillzoneX]

I am definitely new to them. Thanks for the recommendations

[@KibitoAkuya]

If you want tragedy, there is Beseech The Devil(Pursuit of truth) Also by Er Gen, man's really got it all Another really good author is Tang Jia San Shao, specially recommend Douluo Dalu

[@gampie13]

@@TheChillzoneX I should also mention one of the top of wuxia novels, and it is at the peak with the greats, simply for how well made it is. It is a "comedy parody" on the entier genre, named "Cultivation Chat Group" or ccg. It folows a character in our world and his journy thro cultivation, It is also a great novel for new ppl to the genre, since the MC Song Suhang knows nothing about the world of cultivation aswell, but I would read atleast 2 other wuxia novels before reading CCG (also since we are not finished with the translated version yet). I reccomend reading on "wuxiaworld" and not webnovel, especialy if you are taking a look at "warlock of the magus world", since the webnovel site riped the book from wixiaworld, and due to bot coppying, alot of the dialogue in the book was auto cut due to the use of ¨ .

[@Jack-rj4kd]

Warlock of the magus world is the farthest thing from wuxia can possibly be, but yeah the generic Chinese novel influence is there

[@Jack-rj4kd]

@@TheChillzoneX anyway yeah, Er Gen made the best novels out there and for the sake of being complete I'd add "desolate era", "reverend insanity" and "coiling Dragon" to the mix. For a Chinese novel but is as wuxia as warlock of the magus world (which it isn't) there's lord of mysteries which is good
