Sunless Skies is out. It's a game about surviving, exploring, solving mysteries, and leading revolutions as the captain of a flying locomotive in a fin de siècle (not steampunk!) Britain in space. It's a sequel to Sunless Sea, but it's prettier.

But the writing is still A+.

If you liked Sunless Sea, play it. If you like interactive fiction in general, play it.

If you like the idea of recruiting a shipload of companions that include a (nonbinary) daredevil pilot with a magical cordyceps growing in their brain, a clay golem in a conductor's outfit, a dapper devil, a beautiful runaway princess who is so captivating that people commit horrific suicide in her presence just to get her attention, a gang of talking rat hoodlums, and your nosy aunt, play it.

If you liked the writing in Sunless Sea but thought the gameplay was too unforgiving, play it - it's more forgiving now.

If you like gazing worshipfully into the golden face of the radiant source of Law and Time, pHE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN T

    this poor guy died of a rare metastatic tailbone cartilage cancer and they did a case study on him because the radiation treatment for the metastasis gave him extreme priaprism
    so figure 1 is just an mri of his erect penis with an arrow showing the metastasis in the corpus collosum

    I just couldn't get into the story of Sunless Sea, it felt like I was just doing fetch quests while scraping up just enough resources to pay for food and fuel.

    A firm's name is Smith Partners. When referring to their employee, is it

    Smith Partners' employee

    Or

    They also have a long history of being shitty to employees and coast off being a very old craft brewery the remains independent and has good distribution. At least that's the scuttlebutt I know.

    It's a legal entity with a plural name?

    It's not really a collective noun because it's just one legal entity though?

    I saw a theory that this is so they can apologize, everyone forgets about it in a few weeks, and now we have all the terrible folk knowing that THQN is on their side wink wink while having publicly apologized. So boo to them I say, boooooo.

    If it's a plural noun ending in S, just do the apostrophe.

    Smith Partners'

    It doesn't matter that it's a single entity. The word itself is a plural word ending in S so it follows the rule

    When in doubt you can follow pronunciation

    Right, that's the question

    Does the s' hinge on the plural being multiple of the entity (here: no) or a name contemplating a plurality (here: yes)

    I think its a singular proper noun that ends in s.

    Ok so the question is, which of the officers in Sunless Seas can you fuck

    Definitely the Incautious driver during their quest cause they get off on having low hull HP (hm hopefully the verdancy wasn't an STI but that would explain the extremely questionable decisions my captain makes, like sitting around and doing a gazillion penances in Carillon for 5 terror a pop and limping back to New Winchester with the whole crew about to lose it)--and then I haven't seen the opportunity to bone anyone else?

    Maybe when we do the Fortunate Navigator's quest; I hope so; he's great.
