No, old conversation options don’t take time (unless you’re rereading a book or something I think)

Is Gary the Cryptofascist supposed to be Ben Shapiro? Or Milo? Or some other fringe lunatic?

I don’t know if he’s based on anyone specific rather than just being a general archetype of fascist

He strikes me as more of an early 21st century fascist, the result of that 90s big concert where some fucker told the young neo-nazis 'Stop getting tattoos and shaving your heads and shut the gently caress up around the liberals, go to college and get degrees and important jobs so we can be effective nazis'.

I'm pretty sure he's an even mix of being a portrait of a fash trying to fit in and just what the devs saw as an excellent opportunity for a pun with his name

What's a pun? Cryptofascist and Cryptozoologist? that's not a pun! I don't get it!

A crypto-fascist normally describes someone who is secretly a fascist, but Gary is instead an open fascist, looking for cryptids.

Gary always struck me as the writers take on an online racist. He has horrible views, but as soon as you press him on them he's got no backbone to defend his beliefs, unlike the racist lorry driver and MEasurehead. He's just a loser that probably plays the in-game version paradox games.

i mean, gary is a pathetic coward with a hard-on for authority, hierarchies and their symbols. he wants to see people belonging to the Wrong group be subjugated and shown their right place - but it'd be better if someone else does it on his behalf, not he personally (and, of course, *he* belongs to all the Right groups by definition). which kinda describes a large portion of irl fash, not strictly necessarily just the online kind of fash (and so do the other two fascists, resulting in a neat little trifecta fash character study) (there's also probably something to be said about his name being nearly identical to Harry)

I got this game and it’s insanely good and all. Quick question tho, re the diemaker. I have poo poo hand eye coordination and when she threw two dice to me I dropped one through a floor crack and just have one now. Is that other die recoverable?

This might be the best (at least, the most interesting) cRPG I've ever played. I have no idea how far into the game I am as I'm sort of dragging my heels with the investigation and taking in the scenery, but I can't stop playing it. Safe to assume we all mostly took the communist path?

If a quest has a specific time limit it'll say so explicitly. Just make sure you have somewhere to sleep at the end of every night  Also yes

Yeah but there's no hard limit so work through stuff as you like, as much as you think you may be exhausting things you'll see loads of new stuff with new builds on new playthroughs.

Nessus posted:I did, and managed to get both the Communist and Hated Moderate achievements in one playthrough One of the most fun parts of the game is that you can have multiple political viewpoints expressed at once, and it's even pointed out at the end, no matter how contradictory. Which can be more true-to-life than going all in on one. LRADIKAL posted:I agree that he intends to be a cryptofascist, but is too dumb to actually hide it. I still don't think it's a pun. I think the joke is more that you meet the cryptozoologist and then the cryptofascist. nurmie posted:i mean, gary is a pathetic coward with a hard-on for authority, hierarchies and their symbols. he wants to see people belonging to the Wrong group be subjugated and shown their right place - but it'd be better if someone else does it on his behalf, not he personally (and, of course, *he* belongs to all the Right groups by definition). which kinda describes a large portion of irl fash, not strictly necessarily just the online kind of fash (and so do the other two fascists, resulting in a neat little trifecta fash character study) The Racist Lorry Driver is presumably the other one, though Measurehead is definitely far more of an Extremely Online type if he's the third. Though I suppose he can also be considered a quirky take on your traditional tattooed skinhead thug.

I played on Switch (Lite) so no achievements. But the satisfaction of knowing I missed loads of stuff so know what to go digging for next time is welcome. Eg time/space bending cargo container dude and the church anomaly. I learned nothing about those at all.

Is there any way to recover a thought after forgetting it? I was being a hulking hobo commie cop, but balked at the -2 visual calc debuff from the sociocultural-makivuan-whatever commie thought. I forgot it, then realised I could have balanced it out with all the extra xp from my socialist ramblings. Is there any way to get that thought back? Are there other commie thoughts or have I locked myself out of that tree now?
