On the topic of little Franz, it’s reminded me that it’s unfortunately still a common thing to see articles or books relishing the fact that he died, as a “payback” for Josephine. The reasoning behind it is that Napoleon was sexist and wrong to divorce Josephine. One of the reasons Napoleon and Josephine separated was so Napoleon could have an heir. So Franz only existed due to Napoleon’s second marriage to Marie Louise, who he married after separating from Josephine. The fact that Napoleon’s only legitimate son died young and without any children of his own is then paired with the fact that Josephine’s children (without Napoleon) have descendants. This in itself is pretty dumb because it ignores the fact that Napoleon had illegitimate children and also has descendants. But the premise is that little Napoleon II bore the guilt of a perceived slight committed by his father against Josephine and therefore had to be destroyed as a sort of revenge against the father. Little Franz was Napoleon’s greatest dream and the person he loved the most in the world. So the people who hate Napoleon rejoice in an event which they believe would have caused him pain (he was already dead at the time Napoleon II died).

I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself. I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.

for those who still follow me despite my pathologic inactivity and are interested in IPL's new game Franz, let me save you the time and say that it is not good
havent even played it myself and just from what i see other people discussing in the IPL discord, its a game with tons of AI generated images, its badly designed, and and could be very well read as a story of grooming and abuse.
it also asks for a review and a donation before the game even properly starts, since its free to download lol
it involves getting constant notifications and even opening your camera, and has some anxiety and paranoia inducing things in it. this is less of a dig at the game but more something that can be uncomfortable to a lot of people and feels cheap unlike other IPL games which are scarier for their atmosphere and stress rather than cheap jumpscares. its about 10 hours with a lot of downtime.
i might still download it out of curiosity to report my actual opinion but this is a yikes from me. IPL losing more and more faith in my eyes

IPL AMA
Tumblr media
On Feb. 10 via pikabu, Ice-Pick Lodge answered some questions! With a bit of a lovely introduction:
"A new day has begun. In the theater, the Masks have completed the rehearsal, the people from the Termitary are out for a smoke break, and in the Broken Heart tavern they wipe down the glasses."
"... let's ask ourselves the most popular question: Will Daniil come? Yes, we've already bought him a ticket."
"Ask, for we hear."
I translated some Q&As and thought some folks might be interested. They answered questions about the Bachelor, Backer Rewards, Franz and The Void (Turgor). I'm used to videogame communities where, like, five youtubers instantly jump on the smallest scrap of information, so find below a summary of these topics.
BACHELOR ROUTE:
The game has largely gone through pre-production and almost everything has entered the pre-alpha stage, or is in the alpha itself. Currently, they are scripting quests and creating locations and models. Before the Haruspex's route came out, there was access to the alpha, but IPL doesn’t want to write checks it can’t cash, so to speak, so nothing is promised for the Bachelor. Preparing an alpha to show to the public is something that requires its own kind of polish, and they will try to see a public-alpha through, but if not - they might settle for another kind of presentation. Here's some speculation: I believe that IPL has a rough release date for the Bachelor, or one will come soon, that they won't announce. I think they have all of the mechanics down, and now what is left is the aesthetic; as they said, the models.
FRANZ:
SOON. That’s the impression, at least. They have an internal release date, but the reason why they haven’t announced anything yet is because it needed more testing and how it’s going to be distributed on digital platforms was reconsidered. That’s a general theme, here. They have internal dates for ideas, for projects, but the rule of thumb is generally that something will step in the way and they don’t want to make promises they can’t keep. In the meantime, look forward to a future video about the creation of the game and more devlogs. 
Also … Interacting with Franz, whether out of anger or care, will naturally require more interaction. Franz is also capable of forgiveness. Step gently.
THE VOID: 
No current plans to remaster or recreate or VR-ify or revisit or republish The Void. There have been thoughts on transferring it to mobile because the controls may function well there, but monetization is a bridge they’d need to cross and they’re not there yet. 
BACKER ITEMS: 
They’re coming !!! In some cases, they’re here !!! Customs can get in the way, is all, but people have gotten their items. Almost like proof, a person posted in the AMA that they received all of their items but also got an extra item - a white card with the black letters r f n e ? Upon asking what it was or what it meant, the response by IPL was basically: Ask the Townsfolk :) The promised book is also making some headway and is being written by Dybowsky and someone else they employed, but they don’t want it to interfere with the Bachelor’s campaign, so progress is ultimately minimal.
MISC: 
The dev team is doing well :) There was mention that they’ve expanded. There is also no plan to return the online IPL store. At first, it was a firm no, and then it was a - “not yet.” (I think.) There was also this weird allusion to the Bachelor coming by train, soon? That they had bought him a ticket and he would be arriving? That’s beyond me.
That's all. If anyone has questions, I am here. All the time. Constantly. I wonder when the Bachelor will arrive by that aforementioned train.
