life goal: infamous recluse
The thing I can't possibly stress enough about why, exactly, reconstructing Early Modern recipes totally belongs in the field of game design is that for all there is the joy and satisfaction and some kind of mystic cross-time connection with creators of the past OR WHATEVER--
Back in the summer of 2023, I had been pouring through the Early English Books Online database (as one does), and came across William Salmon's Polygraphice (1673)--within which I found the following: "VI. To rectifie the Breath..."
The time has come for some actual pomatum and 100% less fun with fire (as the prophecy foretold).
Or apothecary, same difference.
