    “Native palm trees in Florida include only 12 palm tree species,” said
    Scott Zona, green house curator at the Departnemt of Biological
    Sciences. “Some of them are the Paurotis, Needle, Cabbage, Thatch,
    Silver and Royal palms.”

    I don't think there's much consistency in the voice type I prefer for songs, but that's mainly because I don't really care much about the voice type.

    As long as you can hit the right notes at the right times, I'm pretty satisfied.

    pillow/azusa bow/kettle/beads/katana

    I should release beads because beads (yang: 1/3 chance instant kill, yin: (status) 25% chance to prevent status ailments) is less useful than katana (yang: undodgeable heavy damage, yin: (status) extra attack after i attack) and if i capture another one the fifth one gets pushed out.  Kettle is finished.

    Just looking for Basin and Case now.  If I find both I should push out Kettle (yang: (status) recover much HP per turn, yin: (status) 2/3 chance to recover from status ailments) because I have healing items and if I play perfectly I shouldn't lose HP.

    Pillow and Case finished.

    I picked up Flask because that was the only one available to me at the time, but Flask's yang ability, Buzz, sucks at healing.

    I should get myself Somethingelse/Healingspirit/Somethingelse/Azusa Bow/Katana, considering that both Pillow and Case are kinda useless too.

    possibly useful souls:
    Top [Speed] (Yang: 50% chance to steal an item, Yin: Doubles your Accuracy for 3 turns)
    Saddle [Speed] (Yang: Triples your Accuracy for 3 turns), Yin: Evade enemy attacks for a turn
    Oxcart [Speed] (Yang: 2/3 chance to enemy attack, Yin: 100% chance to hit for 3 turns)
    Katana [Attack] (Yang: Deals heavy damage, Yin: Attacks after you attack)
    Kusarigama [Attack] (Yang: Deals heavy damage, Yin: 25% chance to inflict Paralysis on the opponent for 3 turns)
    Spoon [Healing] (Yang: Damages and recovers HP, Yin: Increases HP recovery by 20% (max 5 times))
    Chopsticks [Healing] (Yang: Damages and recovers HP, Yin: Increases HP recovery by 20% (max 5 times))
    Cauldron [Healing] (Yang: Damages and recovers HP, Yin: 2/3 chance per turn to recover from any status ailments)
    Teapot [Healing] (Yang: Recover a medium amount of HP, Yin: Recover a small amount of HP)
    Kettle [Healing] (Yang: Recover a large amount of HP per turn, Yin: 2/3 chance per turn to recover from status ailments)
    Pot [Healing] (Yang: Recover a large amount of HP per turn, Yin: Boosts your Attack, Defense, Evasion, and Accuracy a little)
    Stove [Healing] (Yang: Recover a medium amount of HP per turn, Yin: Increases HP recovery by 20% (max 5 times))
    Sutra [Divine] (Yang: 2/3 chance to revive upon death, Yin: Grants +30% EXP gain)
    Basin [Carry] (Yang: Recover a medium amount of HP, Yin: Decreases enemy Defense by 50%)
    Mirror [Joy] (Yang: Reflects enemy attacks for 3 turns, Yin: 1/3 chance to revive upon death)
    Dustpan [Joy] (Yang: Doubles an item's effect, Yin: 2/3 chance to steal an item)

    The way attributes work: Attack-types make my sword wear out more slowly, Heal-types make my hunger increase more slowly, Divine-types make enemies move more slowly (on the map view presumably), Carry-types increase carrying capacity, Defense-types increase my defense.  Joy-types don't do anything?  I'm not sure.  Also I might need multiples of these to get the effects I want.  Not sure.

    The way types interact with gems:
    * I have five gems in which to hold tsukumogami.
    * The first gem holds the first tsukumogami I capture.  When I capture another one, the first gem holds the new one and the old one is pushed to the second gem.  This way, I can fill five gems.  If I capture more after five gems are filled, the sixth one is pushed onto the first gem and the one on the fifth gem is released.
    * Each captured tsukumogami grants me two abilities: a Yang and a Yin ability.  I can use Yin abilities after defending enough, and Yang abilities after landing enough hits on the opponent.  Some of these abilities are one-time things that I have to reactivate to re-use.  Others grant a status effect that stays for a while.  Let's call Yang and Yin "classes" so as to not confuse them with "types".
    * I can only use one ability of a given class before I need to refill my class gauge by defending or attacking (as appropriate).
    * Each gem has a type attribute, and when that gem stores a tsukumogami of the same type, using any of that tsukumogami's abilities does NOT deplete the class gauge -- meaning that I can use that ability over and over again, or use it and then use something else.

    Type attributes of the gems:
    1. Speed
    2. Heal
    3. Defense
    4. Divine
    5. Attack

    Pot, Spoon/Chopsticks, Oxcart, in that order (to stack them right)
    or maybe Spoon then Pot
  • Oh, that was creative.  Using the enemy graphic as an obstacle for avoiding detection.
  • Castle Tsukumogami, here we come!

    Time to hunt for the last 10 tsukumogami, plus Basin!
  • Needle discovered and captured.  Tatami discovered.  Needle completed and released.  Basin captured.  Armor discovered.  Barrel discovered.  Basin completed.

    Release Basin or Pot?

    Recovering HP every turn is probably more useful than recovering just some HP.  I would depend on Katana's heavy hits for dealing damage against heavily-defended enemies though.

    I can deal with that.  Bye bye Basin.

    Mask captured.  Mask completed and released.

    I've run across two cursed skulls.  I can break them but I can't approach them because I don't have a Divine type spirit.

    So my open slot will go to either a Divine type spirit or something I haven't captured before.
  • Barrel captured.
    Turns out it's actually not too bad.  Yang ability Bodhisattva Sake "Recovers a large amount of HP", and Yin ability Barrel Drop "Deals medium damage".  I should consider having it and Basin together, rather than Pot.

    Barrel completed.  Pot released.
  • Armor captured.  Armor finished and released.

    Barrel is especially useful because it has an attacking Yin skill...which means it can damage the target even while I'm defending.
  • Wand captured.  Wand is a Divine-type spirit.

    Two cursed skulls broken.  I think there's a third one.

    Comb discovered.  Third skull broken -- there's a fourth one.  Probably behind this miniboss here...
  • edited 2016-08-29 05:01:34
    The fourth skull was indeed hidden behind the miniboss, and I enjoyed just how smoothly I dispatched it, thanks to using abilities that prevent its healing, and deal damage while I'm blocking.  I personally did piddly damage, but I turned on a skill that did a little bit of even more piddly damage after myself, and I also repeatedly used Barrel Drop and Cleave.  Barrel Drop was by far the funnier of the two.

    Well now I can drop this Wand and capture another tsukumogami.  Though to be fair, its Crossed Fingers yin ability was what allowed me to prevent this skeleton miniboss from healing a few times...
  • Hmm, preventing enemy healing or getting guaranteed hits (Oxcart)?
  • Preventing enemy healing is more important.  Oxcart released.

    Helmet discovered and captured.  Lute discovered.  Helmet completed and released.

    Tatami captured, completed, and released.

    Still waiting for Lute, Lyre, Basket, and Comb.

    Lyre discovered, captured, finished, and released.  Lyre's Yang ability, which uses the following ability twice, is actually pretty useful, but we need to raise other ones for now.

    Comb captured, finished, and released.

    Basket captured.  Spear released.  Basket finished.

    C'mon, Lute!

  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    So it wasn't dispiriting at all, huh.
  • Long-term observations of fairy rings on Shillingstone Hill
    in Dorset, England, further suggested that the cycle depended on the
    continuous presence of rabbits. Chalky soils on higher elevations in the
    counties of Wiltshire and Dorset in southern England used to support
    many meadow-type fairy rings. Rabbits crop grass very short in open
    areas and produce nitrogen-rich droppings. Mushrooms need more soil
    nitrogen than grass does. A ring can start from a single spore from
    which the mycelium develops; the fruiting bodies of the mushrooms only
    appearing later, when sufficient mycelial mass has been generated to
    support them. Subsequent generations of fungi grow only outwards,
    because the parent generations have depleted their local nitrogen
    levels. Meanwhile, rabbits keep cropping the grass, but do not eat the
    fungi, allowing them to grow through their competition to tower,
    relatively, above the grass. By the time a circle of mushrooms reaches
    about 6 metres (20 ft) in diameter, rabbit droppings have replenished
    the nitrogen levels near the centre of the circle, and a secondary ring
    may start to grow inside the first.[citation needed]

    the marowak ghost is actually a ghost, as in an undead

    the ghost pokémon are ghost pokémon, living entities that have ghostly powers

    presumably they may come from the spiritual energy of the deceased pokémon of pokémon tower

    ...or maybe they just like haunting graveyards because it's funny to them

    that spiritual energy thing can explain why they're cloaked in the tower, but not cloaked when encountered out in the field in johto
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chayote#Folklore

    "Apple pie"

    In Australia, where it is called choko, a persistent urban legend is that McDonald's apple pies were made of chayotes, not apples.[11]
    This eventually led McDonald's to emphasise the fact that real apples
    are used in their pies. This legend was based on an earlier belief that
    tinned pears were often disguised chayotes. A possible explanation for
    the rumor is that there are a number of recipes in Australia that advise
    chayotes can be used in part replacement of canned apples to make the
    fruit go farther in making apple pies. This likely arose because of the
    economies of "mock" food substitutes during the Depression Era,[12] shortages of canned fruit in the years following World War II,
    and the fact apples do not grow in many tropical and subtropical parts
    of Australia, making them scarce. Chayotes, on the other hand, grow
    extensively in Australia, with many suburban backyards featuring chayote
    vines growing along their fence lines.

    Another possible reason for the rumor of McDonald's apple pies
    containing chayotes was that it was thought that apples would degenerate
    and become soggy and inedible in a McDonald's pie, whereas chayotes are
    well known to retain their firmness and consistency after cooking,
    freezing, and reheating. It was thought that the "chunks" of apple in
    the pie were in fact chunks of chayote, and the sauce and filling were
    simply a spiced, apple-flavored concoction.

    dude, you kidding me?


    i would TOTALLY eat a chayote pie

    most cucurbits taste vaguely apple-cinnamon-ish, so chayote might well have worked
