Yeah, like was said the game ropes you in first with the whole ‘SCP manager!’ premise but then it turns out they’re overall rather minor compared to the stories of the sephirot

Every employee gets a complimentary* life insurance policy when they start with clerk payouts being salary level and agents being their salary x agent level! Beneficiary is automatically Lobotomy Corporation unless employee opts for another beneficiary by manifesting this desire by means of writing their preferred beneficiaries name on a slip of paper deposited into Blue Star

Considering how this place is run, I wouldn’t be surprised if no one got paid anything. You get enough food and sleep to remain useful to the company; and if you start asking about when your paycheck is coming in too much... Well, complaining about such needless things as “income” is a proven sign of being a weak employee. You don’t want Malkuth to terminate your employment, right? Thought so.

The Company's policy of paying employees every 2 weeks is saving TONS of money when it comes to clerks. Substantial savings when it comes to agents, too.

Working for a wing is extremely prestigious and a big deal. Basically working for Lobotomy corp. is like working for facebook or amazon (although not nearly as morally ambiguous and soul crushing)

Great pay and not having to live in whatever the occasionally alluded to Outskirts or Backstreet have in store for the inhabitants of this hellworld is a deal hard to pass up for many. True, in the tie-in webcomic it is stated that many of the other Wings are far safer than Lobotomy, but sometimes you've got to take what you can get.

I've now trailblazed this LP in three days and, as someone who recently beat LobCorp (after 300hrs of playtime - not even kidding) I just want to say I admire how well you're plotting this out. Extremely good characterization and VERY fun to read.  Can't wait to see you absolutely destroy some of the final meltdowns.

By the way, how much of the webcomic can be read without spoiling anything beyond the point the LP is currently at?

Carpator Diei posted:By the way, how much of the webcomic can be read without spoiling anything beyond the point the LP is currently at? Pretty much all of it. You might see brief glimpses of abnormalities that haven't appeared yet, but all the ones actually featured in comic storylines are original to the comic. The comic doesn't (yet, at least) address any of the stuff about the sephirot, Angela or A. It's more about how the agents live their lives. Even before now it mainly just spoiled the existence of a Disciplinary department, and some of the game mechanics.

So I look at the prologue of the webcomic mentioned, and I can think about is 'well that's appropriate'. The departments greeting the new manager is entirely in line with what we'd expect.

To add to the Wonderlab chat: the latest chapter is always behind a paywall and I'd say the writing is pretty rough (the characters won't shut up about their stats) until about chapter 16 which is where I got interested. It also slightly touches on the world outside of LobCorp. Oh since it's on the same site DO NOT read Distortion Detective, it spoils LobCorp And I said earlier ABSOLUTELY DO NOT look up anything related to Library of Ruina, it's LobCorp's sequel Lakbay fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Sep 18, 2020 |

Although for some reason the clerks in the webcomic are less suicidal. They don't try to fight breaching HE abnormalities with an ordinary 9mm and no agents backing them up, unlike our clerks here. Although the comic does spoil a few things related to disciplinary around chapter 16.

The comic takes place at an entirely separate LobCorp facility, and Onebro brooks no imposter.

Tenebrais posted:Pretty much all of it. To be clearer about it without outright ruining either the comic or the game, you WILL see some canon Abnormalities that we haven't hit upon yet. They aren't really described, but some are named and shown without context, or associated with another abnormality due to plot. If you'd like to wait and see, it'll depend on if we get more Magical Girls, and if we get a few of the other F-type abnormalities. But that'll mostly depend on Tee. The comic's a good read if you don't mind a few 'oh, I've seen that design's later on.
