I was certainly waiting for something different! GotchaAm I the only one who got annoyed when they called an hourglass a "sand clock"?

Hourglass is just one name for them and quite a specific one at that. Sand clock just describes it and what it contains.Am I the only one who got annoyed when they called an hourglass a "sand clock"?
lol yup.Hourglass is just one name for them and quite a specific one at that. Sand clock just describes it and what it contains.
lol I get your point and agree.Well more than a fetish, I like pregnancy mostly because it shows the MC and the girl decide to build a family.
Sand clock is the literal translation from that object's name in Spanish. So I don't know if the term was intended due to the subsequent spell or they just didn't notice there was a 'better' term for itlol yup.
If I put half the sand in, my glass only times half an hour.
Maybe not so much point caling it an "hour" glass, in that case.
As an aside/afterthought, I wonder if there's a relation between these objects and the expression "the sands of time"...
lol I get your point and agree.
But, just to be sure, how many families (plural) is the MC building?![]()
Sand clock works fine, for me.Sand clock is the literal translation from that object's name in Spanish. So I don't know if the term was intended due to the subsequent spell or they just didn't notice there was a 'better' term for it
Generally speaking, probably. While water clocks are older, sand clocks would become more popular and considered more accurate because of their granular nature. (Water clocks often suffered from condensation or evaporation that threw off the time)As an aside/afterthought, I wonder if there's a relation between these objects and the expression "the sands of time"
Think of that as an alternative way to refer to the same thing :vAm I the only one who got annoyed when they called an hourglass a "sand clock"?
lol Different cultures call things different names. It's good to learn and appreciate them.Think of that as an alternative way to refer to the same thing :v
There can be sand in riverbeds and in deserts: no need to have a beachI wonder how that phrase was taken up when it reached landlocked countries that had no sand?![]()
You know that they don't always use sand for those things, right?Deserts, sure.
But that rules out most, if not all of the European landlocked countries.
Rivers, too, carried in the water, but surely not too far away from places where sand exists anyway.
Just thinking how that phrase would have been received, by people who did not have the association, or may not even be familiar with sand? Austria, or maybe Switzerland, as they're famous for clocks.
Miles off topic, please ignore my meandering ramblings. I just found it interesting.![]()
I did not know that they used other materials, thank you!You know that they don't always use sand for those things, right?
Powdered marble for example. Blends of tin and lead oxides are another.
It just needs to be granular.
And yes, river sand can be used. Sand is just basically ground up rock and any country with a river system would have sand.
Yeah, when I was a kid, we had an egg-timer that was a small, thin "hour"glass, which only took 3 minutes for the sand to swap ends.Sandglass, sand clock, and sand timer are all valid names for hourglass in English. Just do image searches in your search engine of choice for them to see. Egg timer is more historical, and has mostly been taken over by modern timers (especially the ones actually egg-shaped), but there's still a few hourglasses mixed in the image results.
And it's only a few days since release, imagine the rest.Yeah, also without arguments and slander.
Sorry, it's probably mostly me been OT'ing.
If the game had incest I imagine a shitton but without it I imagine every town you visit will have 3 at leastlol I get your point and agree.

lol Well, current amount of girls with pregnancy option - amount of girls, is pretty high!And it's only a few days since release, imagine the rest.

Anyway, back towards on-topic, Rose next!
What does everyone reckon the deal is with her? She's clearly very worried that having sex with us will lead to our death.
So presumably she's a succubus, of sorts?
Or maybe a vampire? She disappears all day long...
Not enough buttholes.
I will often keep an eye out for those developers who treat trans characters as they would any other. Yes, a trans character will often have challenges the cis characters are not subject to, but I look for those developers who use their trans characters to give diversity, rather than a "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" kind of thing.Thanks, I might look into it. I'm trans myself, attracted to women. I don't mind feeling included, but I just don't like seeing futa content put in every other game just to satisfy a kink. I like futa content when it's done right and when it feels like it fits in the setting.
