Finally got around to playing this game and holy loving poo poo it was phenomenal what a loving masterpiece; playing the Sensitive preset with Inland Empire as my signature skill while cranking Empathy was a lot of fun I got a lot of people killed in the Tribunal. I'm not sure if 7 dead(+valiant tie sacrifice) is on the high end but it felt pretty bad, especially getting the legal ambassador killed due to my poo poo rhetoric. The final post-reveal confrontation with your squad force hosed Me Up and Kim sticking up for me was really touching and sweet very glad people online never shut up about it and also didn't actually spoil anything about it so I could go in blind; even if I did miss my vision quest the hardcore guy opening up answers board games books Kim dancing(???) and apparently had both Art Cop / Wompty-Dompty Centre just sitting in the background that I just didn't internalize in favour of losing a bunch of 97% checks to Precarious World

dead gay comedy forums posted:it all depends on how you play it. Shivers and Inland Empire are definitely the two out there in that sense. I think Harry isn't so much psychic as he is liminal - in his current state he has a body that has experienced the past but a mind that has no memory of it. To someone like that, it makes sense to try to teleport, but also the people watching you "teleport" just tell you that you shut your eyes and moved really fast, and a lot of things that Harry does that he'd be tempted to narrate as "psychic powers" work the same way. They're things he was capable of doing before, but he lacks the understanding to explain how he does them. But! Never forget that you are on l'Insulide, or literally, "Wake Up", because before this world was pale, and the explorers on a doomed voyage into the pale did not know whether they were asleep or awake when the land boiled out of the pale and back into reality. The lookout called "wake up, wake up" because he thought he was dreaming, but everyone was wide awake. It may be there are things people are capable of doing, but most ordinary people cannot, because they cannot be in the mindset to do so. You can't see what's happening somewhere else because you know where you are and you're not that somewhere else. But what if you don't know where you are?

I'm sure this has been done to death, but.. Evrarts plan for the fishmarket is ultimately a net benefit, isn't it? Assuming he's honest about his intentions (big if) then throwing up low income housings seems like a way better suggestion than just leaving the people there in their squalor. dead gay comedy forums posted:this loving game It's also why I'm wondering if Harry is psychic the theoretical entroponetics poster implies it is possible to catch information from the future. I also saw discussions theorizing that maybe the big Innocences were basically Super Magpies deciphering information from the future to create Novelties

Depends on : answers in order of spoilerosity a) If you are a member of the Union, or just a local, b) you trust Evrart not to exploit 'his people' as much as anyone for his own benefit especially once the squeeze is put on him (economically or otherwise), c) whether it matters if the Coalition are just going to take military action against Revachol for getting kind of revolutionary again. Like say nuking it.

McCloud posted:I'm sure this has been done to death, but.. Better for who? The people living there now are going to get screwed over, since part of the plan is to force them to leave. Given where they're living now, they don't have a lot of options where to go. I imagine a lot of them would end up on the street. The low-income housing would help people, sure, but the plan would also hurt people that are even worse off than the people it would help.

I'm just entering day three, had a panic attack over my gun and had a heart attack trying to punch measure head. I almost thought they were going to make me start over which would have been sorta funny. I tried to use subterfuge as a tactic but I don't think that actually exists as an option so it just turned me into a racist and I'm sad that I e disappointed Kim The game also doesn't have sarcasm options despite some of them definitely reading as sarcasm. I think they're supposed to be earnest. seems like I'm just having an adaptation period to it, we'll see how this goes

if you do the moralintern vision quest, the jury rigged equipment catches something said in the future while harry is with headphones. then you get to the scene and holy poo poo there was this discussion in the other thread (iirc?) that the historical materialism of Elysium is more, uh, literal because of the pale, and the quest above furthers that case a lot

Ghost Leviathan posted:Espirit De Corps is also implied to be paranatural at times iirc, though it's ambiguous how much of that is flavour for the player. There are some offhand mentions of theories of mind-reading/empathy between members of tight-knit groups, though I'm not sure if the protagonist actually can or does react to the snippets you get of what's going on back at his precinct and with his squad towards the end. If you say the exact wrong (right) things with the Moralist Guy (you know which one) You end up screaming and threatening him, while he gets more and more outraged at your bad behaviour and demands you present your badge so he can report you. Then you immediately have an Esprit vision of a pair of RCM out doing some random task, and the conversation goes like this: RCM1: Hey remember what happened to that guy who got fired a while ago? He hosed around and pissed off a Moral Intern official and got canned. RCM2: That's kind of interesting but why did you bring it up out of nowhere? RCM1: I don't know, it just came to mind. Which is a pretty strong indicator that EDC does actually psychically connect you to other cops and can even influence them to help provide info/perspective on a situation.

I almost thought they were going to make me start over which would have been sorta funny. The Detective is a mentally damaged man-child. If the option doesn't say (But you are lying), or (Sarcastically) or something to denote it, you are totally being sincere about everything. Even the mutually exclusive or non-sensical. Which cover most alt-right talk anyway, I guess. EDIT : Note though, that some thoughts, once internalized, do internalize as 'Wait, this is all bullshit.' but some also don't.

I have a lot of motivations to lose weight right now but I think the idea of maybe someday being able to fit into one of those jackets is the thing that might push me over the edge.
