I'm pretty certain you can find another magazine not that far later as either Connor or Markus that talks about android kids too, including mentions of being able to toggle their LED off and other special features on them. It's hokey that they obscure Kara seeing that first magazine, but it's definitely a thing you can intuit from other characters at least.

I can't wrap my head around Todd buying a robot child just to get mad at it all the time. Like...why? Wouldn't you rather just watch the hockey game? Yea yea, he's a drug addict therefore logic just flies out the window, sure, whatever, David. ETA: HOW DOES ALICE HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO?!?

Her homework is Folding@Home I could see Todd getting a robot kid to prove to his wife that he's capable of taking care of her, sort of like those fake babies (or egg or whatever) they give you in Home Ec class to prove that you're capable of taking care of and nurturing a life. Could be an interesting story there, but it got Caged up with stupidity.

He gets her because he lost his real daughter in the divorce and couldn't handle not having his daughter, so he tries to make do with an artifical one. You meet him in the ending at the bus terminal with Kara and can reconcile with him.

No, I get that, I mean more like why would you keep it around if you keep getting loving angry at it for wanting to play with you? Just turn it off, put it in the closet, and let it collect dust while you smoke red ice and watch the hockey game. Like if your phone kept loving chirping and was giving you a headache, wouldn't you just silence it instead of beat it into submission? Todd does not act like a human being, and ~drugs~ is not enough reason for this kind of stupidity. It's just cheap drama because Cage loves smashing on the easiest topics to mine for drama, and this time he landed on "child abuse" because he had gone to the "sexual assault" well too many times already.

Also he's got serious mental and emotional issues and isn't acting rationally He looks EXACTLY like, and acts just like a coworker of mine, it's uncanny. Guy nicknamed "the caveman", extremely unkempt, heavy drinker. Prone to flying off the handle at the most insignificant issues. Heavily medicated and likely the kind that doesn't interact well with alcohol.

I'm watching that CJacobs run of DBH and wow wow wow, I can't believe the game crashed the moment it told Connor to find a way out. I can't believe how perfect that was. I wish it had happened to the best friends, they might have simply exploded from joy since even minor bugs make them go nuts

Gee Todd, why does cyberlife let you have TWO robots to beat on? I kind of feel cheated by some of the late game twists, it's so easy to discount weird discrepancies early on because it feels like holding david cage responsible for sensible explanations for stuff being out of place is a waste of time. It's like he's going 'HA! See? It fits in!' except it's full of 'westworld security team' type logic failures and one exception to that just makes it feel even more cheap Wallrod fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jul 7, 2018 |

Oh my god, phoenix drive fandubbed by Matt and proZD. I had heard of it but never seen it. I wonder how long it'll last on youtube, even censored it will likely get taken down, right? edit: lol that video is absolutely going to get trashed by youtube, they didn't censor it enough. Which is a shame, because proZD reacting to this is some magical poo poo, especially with the fiercely engrish text Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jul 9, 2018 |

This is gonna sound weird, but something that really impressed me about the character models in Detroit was the fat people. I was thinking about this the whole first LP, but couldn't really put my finger on what was different. Now watching the 2nd LP, the intentionally overweight characters clearly use different skeletons than the stock NPC models you see repeated here and there, and not only that, but they look like larger-bodied people do in real life, rather than generic grunt enemies with identical models like in beat-em-ups, or exaggerated comic relief characters like Big Smoke in San Andreas. They're sparsely featured through the game, and I'm definitely not saying this has anything to do with Cage being some progressive thinker in terms of representation at all, but I can't recall ever playing a game that bothered to make larger-bodied background NPCs purely for flavor. For this and a bunch of other character details, the modelling team at Quantic Dream deserve some serious props.

I'm not watching 30 episodes of a lovely jrpg to catch up! Speaking of lovely and catchup though, I'm finally able to watch 2nd Gig. I'm kinda disappointed Woolie has decided to go armed revolution this round, because he missed half of the pacifist run anyway, and that means we'll never get his reaction to the Slave Song Revolution.

On the other, some of the questions feel kind of unfair because you could probably do similar poo poo to a lot of games? I think I just have a high tolerance for weak stories - The Alice reveal is dumb, but I'm not put off the game "lying" to you because it kinda isn't? The information is masked from you because you're supposed to "be" Kara - the game shares her denial with you by masking the information. It's not like Heavy Rain where the Shelby thing actually has plot holes and makes little to no sense.

Yea but other games have actual gameplay, so if you poke holes in their story, at least there's an actual game to play. This doesn't have that. The Alice reveal is awful because Luther knows the truth, Zlatko knows the truth, Todd knows the truth and yet none of them mention it to Kara because they...like seeing her be delusional? I guess Luther does reveal it to her, but only after dramatically hinting at it big time and after Kara finds out for herself anyway.

Todd doesn't have a reason to say anything? He either doesn't know or care that Kara thinks Alice is an android, or is so drugged out he didn't really notice or care she served Alice food? (Maybe kid droids can actually eat food for the sake of being realistic?) Zlatko actually didn't seem to suggest he knew - otherwise wouldn't he have set Alice up for a wipe too? Again, even if he did, what reason does he have to tell Kara? Luther is a tropey gentle giant - he didn't break it to her because he knew she needed to come to it on her own terms - it's not like the delusion hurt her. They probably could have explored the aspect of why it does or doesn't matter that Alice is an android or something, or why the delusion was important for Kara? I dunno. Sorta seems like an angle of Kara valuing an child android less then a human one, which is why she held the delusion? Like there's some angle of Androids being biased against their own kind or something there.

The Alice twist is so dumb, both in the moment and looking back, it makes no goddamn sense and was totally unnecessary. Just like Heavy Rain, the game has to lie to you to force its mystery to work. The RA9 thing never going anywhere and being meaningless is another huge ball-drop; I had forgotten about it through most of the second half. It's still easily the best Quantic game, but man, it has all the signature flaws.

(Maybe kid droids can actually eat food for the sake of being realistic?) This...doesn't hold up. Androids require that blue blood to function and if Kara had to tend to her, replacing it would likely be one of her duties. Sure, he's a cartoon villain, but even he might not be dumb enough to let his new droid junk his old droid because she shoved noobles down robokid's mouth. Luther may be a gentle giant but I doubt he'd endanger all of them by letting the charade go on even when it harms their chances of escape: kiddie fevers, need for sleep/food and all. And as someone (Yahtzee?) said, the main narrative point of it is spoiled because we see two sexbots in love with each other in the cop storyline, so the "Can two androids genuinely love each other?" theme has no wegiht left. It would actually be more interesting in the kid was really human, or if humans thought she was an android because she was aprehended with them, showing how people will dehumanize even their own kind to fully hate the dreaded Other. Though I wish the game had a post-credits stinger 300 years in the future with Kara getting fed up of mommying EternalKidBot and just abandoned her in a cardboard box to go have fun.
