I love that game. Too bad, too busy to spend time on Steam. ---

10th Feb: You’ve lost 80 x Noman’s Friend (new total 163 - The Noman is pristine). It seems I erred a bit on caution this year, got the tattoo yesterday with a surplus of about 220 Noman’s Friend. Well, not that I am complaining… ---

Congratulations to everyone who made it to their tattoo appointment! ![noman_2023_02_14](https://community.failbettergames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a0d6b4a9395649bea71f1d6edbe74e7ed3463ebb.png) And thank you for the data so far, which helps us make predictions and guides for future years. Depending upon the whims of Lilac, next year may be incredibly easy: The Second Thursday of February falls on the 8th. However, this might be seen as Too UnValentinesy, to use official verbiage, which might throw it off the unofficial “second Thursday of February” rule that’s worked for 4 years now. But, we also thought the 9th was too unValentinesy this year, so who’s to say? Well, Failbettergames is to say since they can make it whatever day they want. The game hasn’t yet risen to sentience and wrested control of holidays from them as far as I know (?) ---

Wait… Am I to understand that you have to kill your noman early to get the elemental secret? I spent damn weeks teaching him, and got f-k all for it? I call bullshit. ---

Yes, you have to finish the Noman story to get the Elemental Secret. That involves getting Noman Knows to 15 and then playing “The Sense of an Ending” (which rids you of the Noman). If you just wait until Noman’s Friend hits zero, you’ve missed out. ---

> [@elderfleur](#): > > Noman “Déjeuneige” lost 111 x Noman’s Friend (new total 1924/2500) Well, a nice low value! You do have few extra Tears on your hand, right? 🙂 I’m so eager for this although I’m not sure I will _enjoy_ the story.
