Crepuscule Adepte posted:Perhaps the most notable thing about that title list is that Prudent is a Temperance title. The titles sound like they come from an employee review from. But the stats are the four cardinal virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice), because Lobotomy corporation loves it's religious symbolism. I wouldn't be surprised if the game unlocks something based on the three theological virtues (faith, hope, charity) later one.

The game as a whole is actually pretty moddable, there's a few youtube videos with hilarious changes like bass boosting [REDACTED]'s breathing or sprite changing certain anomalies

Day 13: Story Music: Dungeon - Wrong Way Street   Huh? Oh… it's you again. Okay, lay it on me. Do not trust the AI at your side. ...That's it? You didn't let me explain. You're right. Please, go on. Some can even imitate human emotions with ease. However, they can do things you are not aware of yet. Or rather, to be more precise, they can withhold information. If the controller of an AI has given the order to not share specific information… It has no obligation to tell the truth to anyone, other than that controller. I’ve programmed an AI before. Well, participated in the programming, to be exact… That’s how I know for a fact that an AI will not necessarily tell the truth. In case you doubt what I’m saying… I will send you a program for your monitor that I developed myself. The nose will lengthen. The color red means untruth. This is a test version, so it can only be used once.In summary: ANGELA IS UNTRUSTWORTHY   Also, B gives us a single-use program which exposes lies an AI tells us in a Pinocchioesque manner, but instead of making Angela's nose grow it'll make the monitor we're using glow red. Music: The 6th Light   I’ve been feeling really confident lately! I bet that confidence thing's about to change. Hi, Angela! Ah, Lady Angela! Are you talking about my counseling program? Thank you! Yes, shut it down immediately. Don’t delude yourself, Hod. You don’t sincerely believe that counseling can be of any help in this place, do you? But… But I want to continue it... As long as there’s an employee who needs me… What about Tiffany? She… she said my program helped her cope with her stress… She… what? I bet she said something like this whenever she came to you: “Miss Hod, you’re helping me so much! But I think I’ll need a bit of Enkephalin on top of your counseling to ease my melancholy! It’s just a little extra, of course...” You prescribed highly addictive substances as if you were handing out candy to children.  And what about Netzach? You gave him the substance as well. I temporarily gave you access to Enkephalin because I determined you could use it for your “counseling program” to reduce the stress level of the employees, and yet you’ve only been creating drug addicts. Netzach… He told me that he wanted to introduce the program to his team… .... Hod, your naive compassion is only driving things to become worse around here. Your program is hereby terminated. The employees will do anything to coax whatever they desire out of you. They have nothing left to lose; they won’t even feel any guilt about it.In summary: Hod's counseling program was apparently pushing  all along, and she wasn't helping anyone so much as getting them high as hell. Angela steps in to brutally shut down the program and give Hod a talking to about ever trusting the employees. Also, Netzach is a drug-addict, apparently. That's… that's probably fine.  You sure you won't get in trouble for telling me to treat the employees like partners? Um… it should be okay! I didn't say anything untrue. Right. Well, at least this mission is easy. I'm sure I still have a rank 3 agent around here somewhere… Most managers have the opposite problem by the time they get to this point. I'm used to helping rank 2 or 3 agents grow, not polishing off the skills of level 5 veterans. You really have a knack for management! Thanks. I try my best. Next time, on Lobotomy Corporation: We meet a magical girl, and someone gets a new tat.  Galstaff, you have entered the door to the north. You are now by yourself standing in a dark room- I check for traps! You're supposed to check for traps, right? Don't look at me, I've never played this nerd stuff.  You don't see any traps. However, a dank, fell beast drops down from on high! What kind of beast? Is it fluffy? No, it's a hairless thing the size of a dog with folded, saggy skin, with pus dripping from open sores as a small swarm of ticks and bugs leap about its body. It growls and snarls at you. I feed it. What? You're supposed to roll initiative- I. Feed. It. The thing's clearly got a preference for Instinct work, so I give it food and pet it. Uh… make a saving throw? 14? You… feed it. Successfully? It growls and bites at you, and you take… 2 damage. Cool. How many boxes does it make? How's my Fortitude looking? I don't think that's how this game works… Then this game is stupid. If it can't help me survive tomorrow, what's the point? Hey..! This game's really important to me. My family always played it together to forget about bad days at work or school. Oh, you're a Nest baby, huh. Must be nice to have time for games. Down in the Backstreets, we had to do things like... Tenebrais, let's just calm down. This is a really nice game, and I'm sure- N-nah, it's okay, Credentia. I know I was born lucky. It's probably how I got a job here so easily.  Twee… Anyways… I have a lot of memories wrapped up in this game, and I just thought it might be nice to share it with my coworkers, so… Y'know. I just wanted to help everyone relax a bit! I get all the relaxation I need from hittin' things.  Oh, come on Tenebrais. It can't hurt to blow off some steam, right? ...Alright, geeze. We'll keep playing. So what's an 'initiative,' anyways? Besides that thing Malkuth keeps insisting we always show...

Goddamnit, Hod. EDIT: The real revelation with this B stuff is that B has a really low opinion of our perceptiveness. Angela is super sketchy, and B thinking we don't know this already is kinda insulting. Ratoslov fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jun 20, 2020 |

I would have thought LobCorp would be all in favour of drugging their employees, actually. Doped employees are happy employees who won't do silly wasteful things like commit suicide or charge at escaped abnormalities while unarmed.

They're also inattentive employees who won't do things like remembering to lock the door when they leave the enclosure, or make sure not to look at the Do Not Look At This Abnormality. Also we need that enkephalin for making suits.

I do like how Angela tries to make it appear that she's your assistant when it's just you two, but when she talks to a Sephirah it's extremely clear that she's in charge and you aren't. I mean. She's just showing initiative! Angela is so helpful and trustworthy!

I do kinda feel bad for Angela since it's probably just how she was created. Her job and her entire existence are basically the same thing so it's not like she has much room to become anything else than what she is right now.

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:I do kinda feel bad for Angela since it's probably just how she was created. Her job and her entire existence are basically the same thing so it's not like she has much room to become anything else than what she is right now. One day, a question crossed my mind. Where do we come from? We were given life and left in this world against our own volition. To live was a process full of pain. In the end, they were bound to life. We existed only to express despair and ire. We will understand life and the soul with our own hands. My running theory at this point is that the Ordeals are the results of the other Wings of the World (such as the one that created Angela) messing with things that ought never be messed with just like we are. Mostly based on the Green ordeals having all that text about being made to exist among things more alive than them and then throwing robots at you; followed by Amber being related to food and Red being some sort of entertainment, which both seem like things essential enough that companies that become "the Wings of the World" would do. Maybe the Violet ordeals will totally blow that theory up, but it's what I'm getting so far.

So Enkephalin can provide limitless "clean" "safe" energy, create amazing armor and weapons, and serves as a highly addictive wonder drug. What can't Enkephalin do?

This feels like the kind of game that would make me lose my mind and not in the fun way. But that's a me-problem and not with the game. The lp's the only way I could get into this. There's just too much to keep track of for my monkey brain.
