Ridiculous? Yeah, definitely. But plausible The question is not only helps at night but in every moment you need to pass from a state with brightness or illuminated area to a darker area, specially if you don't have those 20 minutes to acostume your sight. Even if it is at night, for any reason you have lights on and suddenly off, the eyes acostume to that light, bringing the eye patch the opportunity to the wielder of have at least one eye to work fast (and do things well) when those moments happened. But hey, this is a game after all, maybe it is for "orbit fuck", weird but not impossible, just need to ask to magic nuts to put it.
Which is why I said:
The more plausible theory, is that they used it to prepare for going beneath deck, then switched the patch from one eye, to the other.
The eye that had been beneath the patch was able to adjust to the low light conditions, beneath deck, more quickly.
Then they swapped back when they came back on deck, to daylight again.
This has constant benefit that applies throughout the whole day.
Instead of only saving them 10-20 minutes adustment time at nightfall, which could be easily accomplished in other ways that were not as detrimental, overall.
Such as sitting in a dark cabin with no lights for 10 mins before dusk. (y)

Still laughing at "orbit fuck"!! :ROFLMAO:

Okay, so why would someone wear an eyepatch without needing one?

As someone who has grown up in a historical port town, with several famous sailing ships having called it home, the answer is both preventative and protective.

If you're on a sailing ship for weeks or months at a time, with no easy access to medical care, accidents could happen. And if you're on a sailing ship, one of the biggest dangers would have been splintering wood (accidents or explosions, which happened more often than you might think on a sailing ship - think grain silo explosions). So what a lot of sailors used to do was protect their dominant eye by wearing a eyepatch. Why? Well if a sailor is unfortunate to get blinded while out at sea, he'd be useless to work and a drain on the crew. So most of them wore a patch to give themselves some measure of protection.

Hey, can i ask you guys a favour without derailing the thread for too long as WaL is coming out in a week or so and the topic should then stay understandably at WaL only then....

Well, i´m relatively new to this Ero-Genre of Games and i had no idea they can be so entertaining..... but i don´t wanna waste (life)time digging through the low effort, low quality Games only to maybe by luck stumble upon a Masterpiece like "What a Legend". I´m looking for tips.

For example my second favourite game after WaL is "Peasants Quest" but by looking at the Preview-pictures it doesn´t necessarily look like a standout-game (also on like 4th page if you search by ratings) and i only downloaded it because one picture caught my eye and peaked my Interest....so basically i stumbled by accident on a great game. So i´m thinking what else did i miss???

I liked SummertimeSaga (very very amusing too, loved the dialogues at the car-sales), Adventures of Willy (quality of some of the scenes is unbelievable, looks like real people doing it) and Lust Epidemic too.

Basically: excellent games where the women are kind of "organic" and don´t look like blowupdolls or manequindolls that are just beeing put in a pose.

Is Beeing a DIK really that good, as its trading top position with What a Legend so often?

Can please only the ones who have this same games amongst their favourites too give me some "must plays" as they have similar taste?

THANKS!!!
This may not be helpful to you at all... however what I have found helpful is when reading the comments from people who enjoy the same games I do, i.e. WaL, I look at the games they post in their signature lines. I have found some awesome games that way that aren't ranked way up on the main page. Usually if people take the time to put them in the signature line as a fan they really like them and even though they may not be for everyone at least you can take it as a recommendation from that person.

It was also used as a form of night vision believe it or not, the eye under the patch being in darkness all day meant that if they wanted to see something at night they would just flip the patch up and et voila, little to no adjustment time.

One of my favorite NPC's in my D&D games is a Halfling called "Lana", suffice to say seeing that name brought a smile to my face... learning this game's Lana also was a raving alcoholic who lives solely to confuse and bedazzle the player was thoroughly amusing XD
