ReplyDeleteShockingly enough, "tho" has never been a word. Perhaps what you were looking for was "THOUGH", O Evidently Lazy One.
DeleteThere are four meanings listed in OED's entry for the word tho. This word is now obsolete. It is last recorded around the early 1600s. To say it has never been a word might be seen a lazy.
ReplyDeleteThey were just giving a tutorial for how to make enemies quickly, using the "snarky unprompted attack" strategy.
DeleteI got stuck at the end, I found a walkthrough that mentions the "cemetary". However, that line is missing for me in that scene, and I haven't been able to find another way to ID the folks at the end.
ReplyDeleteInteresting game, but man - trying to track people from one place to another got a bit frustrating. And didn't realize that there could be such an abrupt ending without finding all of the locations/activities. Probably should give another attempt at some point knowing a bit more about things and how the system works.
