This game is really neat, I’m immediately drawn in by the writing and gorgeous art. It’s fun to play a hopeless fuckup. I particularly liked trying to skip out on a bar tab by flipping double birds and diving into a wheelchair-bound woman.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Played for five hours and got through the first day. Holy poo poo this game is incredible. I'd watched the opening of the game via about five different streams and came across interactions and dialogue none of the streamers encountered.

Had to take a break to decompress a bit but looking forward to my Communist Sorry Cop's future adventures in convincing people his name is Raphael.

Actually watching them, instead of immediately chucking it like Physical Instrument told me to led to my chance going down from 85% to 43% or so. I then failed, thus throwing the ball perfectly according to the game. And Coach Physical Instrument was VERY disappointed with me. This opened up a new Thought and now I get +2 Physical instrument if I am not wearing a shirt.

I don't suppose there is even the slightest chance of finding my gun or badge, is there. Oh well.

It also looks highly unlikely that I'll have a place to sleep tonight, and even that comically small bribe of 25 real the Union boss offers me won't put even a dent into my bill. Not that I'm in a rush to get to Day 2, since some people are experiencing a bug where they just cannot save the game at all on Day 2 or beyond.

Yeah, knowing what game is being played is, for some reason, a -2 penalty? I know that high ranks are not always good, but some of these penalties are baffling.

Noooo in this case to actually win the game you WANT to fail your Physical Instrument check and refrain from utilizing all of your strength and chucking the ball into the ocean. I feel like it's there to teach you that succeeding a check sometimes means you're succumbing to an influence and not necessarily "winning"

It's because Physical Instrument wants you to impress the old guys with your raw strength, it doesn't actually care about the game. Your bonus is +2 for rushing in before you know what's going on, your penalty is -2 for actually knowing what's EXPECTED (and so sabotaging PI's intent by actually trying to play the game instead). It's just contextual to what the roll actually represents here.

Too fuck to drunk


i am 4/2/4/2 cop at the end of the first day and i still don't know my character's name. i know his initials, and i'm pretty sure both his first and last name have come up, but i haven't had any prompts that solidify it yet. Kim seems completely unfazed by this and is actively annoyed when i try to explain to him "no for real i got no loving clue on my own name dude help me out here"

i'm also stumped with what to do next. i spent most of the day resolving the hanging body situation, didn't really get over to the docks until night time, overcame the meat head racist guarding the button with a DISCO INFERNO 360 noscope head shot spin kick but then when i explored the area behind that door, there were no other NPCs and it appears to dead-end inside an upholstered and furnished crate. then kim got bitchy about it being night time and when i walked back down, the city was empty.

what the gently caress do i do next?

I think you can head back to the hotel and check into your room now; the people in the dock leave after 10 PM or somewhere around there so you'll need to catch them the next day.

Only if you can beat the skill check! My cop failed it and was too ashamed to ask. I attempted to overcome it with the Communist ideal that there's nothing wrong with taking money from the rich if you're poor but my brain said that wasn't good enough. I did have the option to say I was scum, though!
