(Barely half would survive until spring.) Before long, they were not only making their own beer but also importing wine and liquor. William Bradford complained bitterly about the latter in his diary that winter, which is really saying something when you consider what trouble the group was in. And so the Pilgrims were kicked ashore, short of their intended destination and beerless. The ship had been headed for the mouth of the Hudson River, until its sailors (who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water) panicked at the possibility of running out before they got home, and threatened mutiny. The Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock because, the crew feared, the Pilgrims were going through the beer too quickly. But worrying about how heavily other Americans are drinking is one of them. Sign up for it here.į ew things are more American than drinking heavily.

Just thought I'd post this to let people know that it's an issue.Photograph by Chelsea Kyle Prop Stylist: Amy Elise Wilson Food Stylist: Sue Li We'd looked at things in enough detail that we mostly knew what we were supposed to be doing and breezed through with relative ease. It also didn't help that one of the chests DID open after we'd worked a bit, AND that the exact same problems persisted through a restart.Īnyway, we decided to restart again but swap roles to see if it'd fix things, and after that everything worked fine. In fact, they broke them so badly that we didn't even realize they were broken without looking, because elements were just broken, they were missing entirely. There were some other minor issues I think, but these are the major ones and they broke things badly enough that we obviously couldn't progress. She could adjust them, but I had no sound or cuckoo on my end for her to match. The clock: There are three dials on the side of her clock that were meant to allow her to adjust the settings of her clock to match mine. I had an "Interact" option with the candles, but they were all lit by default and I couldn't actually change any of them. The large candle holder: Her room had lit and unlit candles that I was meant to match on the candle holder on my end. Matching paintings: Her room contained various placed paintings of animals and mine was meant to contain moveable paintings, and she would describe where to place them. ![]() Matching object placements: Her room contained objects to be placed, and my room was supposed to contain the already-placed versions that I would describe to her so that she could match their placement. The puzzles for this room, and the ways in which they were broken, are as follows: Well, it turned out that the problem-which ended up happening both times we loaded into the game and so wasn't fixed by a restart-was that my room was what could only be described as "broken as fuck". Eventually, this took long enough that we decided to look up some hints. The problem was that the things she was changing, like the sound of the clocks ticking and cuckoo, didn't seem to relate to anything on my end. I couldn't tell what to do with the objects she'd picked up, or what the paintings she was describing meant, but eventually I found the markings on the side of the clock, and she started trying to adjust things on her end. Eventually the chest opened again for me without any indication as to why, and we kept working at figuring things out. Today, we started again at the same section and had a lot of the same confusion. When we started trying to work together we decided to start with the flower tiles, but miraculously they all matched up already, so I assumed this was what opened my chest. After a bit, the chest upstairs popped open on my end to give me a book. She talked a bit about the paintings and knick-knacks, but I couldn't figure out what she meant so just kept looking around and dicking with crystals. Now, it was late when we started and we were both tired, so I attributed the confusion to it being kind of late, but we each fiddled around a bit to see what we could do, with her rotating the flower tiles and me mashing buttons on the crystals. ![]() ![]() Last night, shortly before bed, my girlfriend and I were playing Chapter 8 of "Together", where you're each in nearly identical rooms and have to solve the various puzzle by matching things up to unlock books and then placing them properly on the shelf. ![]() Just thought I'd post this here in case anybody else has the same issue, and to draw attention to the problem.
