I like that robot Chesed has a slot for coffee to go in. I'm not sure where it goes or what happens to it afterwards, but I'm glad he has the slot.

Hokma says in his first dialogue that he shaped the department into a heaven, mostly with the help of copious amounts of white plaster. It's a fan-project for A, basically.

Depends. Are you wondering what message Hokma would include in his 500$ superchat on A's 'Being A Bad Person' stream? if so, then yes

There wouldn't have needed to be all of this boxbot rebellion stuff if the manager just did what Chesed wanted and got a real good coffee machine. This is what happens without quality caffeine

For all obsession with energy gathering efficiency, it ultimately does not matter: we have a quota and all time in the world to fulfil it. We could just constantly farm One Sin for energy. No matter how much energy we collect, Seed of Light percentage will not increase. Only resolving Sephiroth Meltdowns will increase it. Given that LC is very good at integrating gameplay with the story, this is probably is not coincidental. My theory right now is that the energy we collect during the day is only for powering Deterrence Fields for next day and to have reserve if we screw up and need to go back in time. The actual plan always relied on Sephiroth having a Meltdown and resolving it giving us nessesary energy. Angela even mentions on Malkuth meltdown that she can replace Sephiroth but that will make us lose the Seed. They were picked by A, because they had regrets/grudges or problems which could be easily targeted to break them. Angela was made to oversee the process. We saw in flashbacks that facility was more developed and worked for quite some time before X came. This was probably setup time to drive Sephiroth as close to the breaking as possible and let X finish the job later. As Angela was made in image of Carmen, she was probably created with her ideals and goals at the core. Later she was made to do things against her nature. This would probably be not good for her sanity. And finally, Angela mentioned about script lacking a finale, and that might literally be it: in the end, without orders to follow she will let out all pent up frustration cause the biggest meltdown we will see and will be the last Meltdown and last 10% of the seed.

I'm pretty sure he means 'via time travel or maybe cogito'. Like, people can still obviously regular die and that doesn't make the things that happened to them not horrific and hosed up? This is still a business that's killing people on the regular spurred by an ai that seems to have only understood the person she was supposed to be wanted to do good things and doesn't understand why or how that was. And hell, that original person was already involved in some pretty hosed up stuff by the end. Chesed should have gotten more people in on the rebellion, though I guess that's hard when time travel exists. Lobotomy Corp Delenda Est. (I also rather liked the last conversation and also got Utena vibes off it.)

 even though I don't get the jokeCan't wait to see how bad day 40 is, and to see if -45 is actually a death trap in disguise or if it's actually the nicest abnormality and everyone's joking about it like with the One Sin instant kill.

Hooo boy. This has my brain percolating something fierce. Based on this and everything else we've seen.... Is the entire headquarters sealed in a compressed pocket of time, ever flicking back to the beginning? Each 'day' on the inside isn't a day or n the outside, either - in fact, based on what the Rabbits say, Headquarters is going through years of time in.... weeks? And Hokma here talking about bringing back and killing employees - Is THAT what execution bullets really are, the employee getting time traveled back to nothingness by Hokma? Is he straight up saving and deleting and reloading people up in here!? Argh, I have so many questions that need answering!

Another idea is that the entire time travel conceit could actually be a lie, and the entire game/corporation could potentially be taking place inside an AI simulation purely for A's benefit while they're in suspended animation or something. In any other game this would be an egregiously played out and awful twist, but this setting already canonically has a bunch of wacky super-scifi technology so why not throw in the Matrix as well?

Horrible Goose: roughly the same rules as Punishing Bird, except it forces the closest employee to attempt to suppress it, and when they do it just steals the offender's EGO weapon and forces them to chase after it until they catch it. Unless said EGO weapon is a bell, in which case it consumes the weapon and returns to containment. Materant fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Dec 20, 2020 |
