Okay, weird questions here. Under Diaries, it says that you cannot add any more experiences in the memory that is in the diary. I'm a little confused.

Can you add partially filled Memories to a Diary? Can I put a Memory with 2 Experiences in the Diary, knowing that it takes up one of the Diary's four available Memory slots?

When you put a memory in the Diary, does that reduce the number of memories you can have?

For example, if I fill three of my Memories with Experiences, and I decide to put those three Memories in a Diary, do I now have 5 empty and open Memory slots again, or do I only have two Memory slots left because the other three are held in the Diary?

If the latter is the case, does the destruction or loss of the Diary free up those Memory slots?

Thanks in advance!

You can put a partially filled Memory into a Diary, but you can't add more Experiences to that Memory after you do so.

When you put a Memory into a Diary your character functionally forgets it. That Memory slot is now free for all new Memories, the Memory that was there is now a Diary entry.

You should only be putting Memories into a Diary when you are out of Memory slots. Don't casually add three Memories to a Diary, that's just not the way the game is supposed to work mechanically.

Does this help?

Yes! Thank you. That's how I felt it was supposed to work because that fits so well thematically. But then "gamer brain" took over and I started to overthink it.

Thanks again, Tim.

Gamer brain is the worst until it becomes the best and you accidentally make a new game! The best thing about TYOV is that it's resilient, you can't really break it by messing up small things. Or even big things.
