Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.



Watching the Contradiction video now and the whole time of day changing between scenes confuses me. I realize that a lot of these scenes were recorded when it was convenient (i.e. having the actor walk through the door, then walk through the other way for two different clips. All the interviews with one person done in one shot and edited later) but it still makes me blink when I see what really feels like time travel.

Atlas Lobby? Bright daylight outside the windows. Go into the Reading room and it's dark as could be outside the windows. Well maybe the windows are just blocked off for some reason? No you can see that reading nook from the outside when you walk in (in what I assume is the evening).

Also the time scale for this is hilarious as you run around town. Just imagining Inspector Jenks interviewing someone, running to the far side of town, running back before the door closes and pulling a very British Columbo impression "Oh before I go, just one more thing."

Wait until it's night in-game and Jenks is walking around in broad daylight that has a blue filter slapped over it. It's...not great.

That's not just any blue filter, it's the inspector time filter! That's how he goes about solving an entire murder mystery and bothering an entire small English community in less than 24 hours!

Seriously, the time scale is so hilarious, especially considering how you're basically expected to go around town at least once an hour to find stuff like the dude enjoying a hookah at the lake and have those conversations that require the Jenks to go back and forth between two or more people to unlock everything.

I would be more worried about the murderer getting lynched for putting everyone through all of this.

Today I have a very special episode for you all and am very excited to bring this one to you. I guess the poster kind of tells you where we are going, but man it's a good one. Before the mission though I actually get some time on the map to finish building the laboratory, do some research, advance the plot a little, good times. Then an opportunity presented itself and I got right on it. It may be a bit of a long one so grab a snack, a root beer, or regular beer if you're Canadian I guess, and enjoy.

Oh also this is a classic return to youtube putting copyright claims on my videos! This time it's actually totally legit. Video's demonetized but whatever, don't care as long as it lets me put the video up for all of you. So hopefully it all still works and everything will be fine.

I have one complaint about this video: Ciaphas Cain double executing a Chosen should have been saved for the Warlock. Because everyone should bully the Warlock when given the chance.

We're five weeks behind on SNW in the UK since Paramount + launched like a month or so into the show, so they started us with only a couple of episodes instead of everything that had already aired. :(

Oh well, at least I don't care about spoilers as much these days.
I should really hop on the high seas and catch up with the show soon.

Once again and this time with twice the style. Anyway, here is a link to the music if anyone else is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a8OirsKVbc

Also, I find it interesting that the game refers to it as "plant science." In my experience, I have heard it as "botany," and Jade and Guava knows it as "horticulture." I am surprised by how many names it has.

The fifth is effectively deprecated in America, invoke the sixth instead, ask for a lawyer and then shut up. But it's good advice regardless of jurisdiction really.

Not sure what the English equivalent, if any, of the Fifth/Sixth is in the UK, but that's a very specific invocation of rights that may not apply on that side of the pond.

I've modded mobility (and aim, shield, health, will) to over 200 without problems (aside from balance), and I think I've done over 255 without issue, but I can't remember for certain.

It was all a smoke screen to lure Guava into a false sense of security that Cain wasn't just going to execute him.

Not anymore. A few videos ago I found and replaced his repeater with the strongest level repeater, normally a 15% chance, but a resistance order we have equipped is adding another 5% to that. Cain has a 20% execute chance at current.

It's a shame they've left the Warlock until last. I get the feeling that if any of the other two were last they'd be the type to say "I don't even like my bosses, I'm outta here!"

I mean, I know that isn't a game mechanic, but it feels that way.

They don't really have the personal volition to make that call. The chosen aren't human anymore and don't make their own choices.

I love putting both of the hunters guns on a sniper, give them the archeon armor and just laugh as they switch from snipping enemies to suddenly appearing in the midst of the enemies to shoot them all with their pistol.

Let's be real, the hunter just likes to kill people.

Although his guns are absolutely the best of the chosen weapons hands down so very rarely does he become the last survivor and its all a moot point.
