Even a moderate Rhetoric score will quite frequently chime in with comments like "just start at the top of the list and work your way down, like you always do" or "do not, under any circumstances, say that first thing," so I'm pretty sure that's just how Harry works.

Popular alternative Jazz group "The Jamrock 7" topped the charts for 5 months with their hit single "say the first thing" about dating an albino binoclard. 20 years later, contemporary audiences may find their lyrics "insensitive" or "outdated".

the funniest and saddest line in the game for me is when you're talking about poetry to the non racist male lorry driver and you offer to give him poetry and fail and harry just goes "She loving *broke* me, man."

Kings taste terrible at best

*CAAAWWWW*

Boots has the second verse on this one and it has some of the best bars I've ever heard on it.

"I ain't just finna rap on the track, I finna clap on 'em back
And it's been stackin' to that 500 years before Iceberg
Ever leaned back in the 'lac
Before they told Rosa "Black in the back"

Before the CIA told Ricky Ross to put crack in a sack
And Gil Scott traded rappin' for smack
This beat alone should get platinum plaques
I'd rather see a million of us ecstatic to scrap
'Cause if we bappin' 'em back we automatically stack"

highly recommend boots' twitter, which is in a constant cycle of him getting a bunch of followers from people who see STBY or hear the guillotine for the first time, then he comes back to promote his new poo poo, then makes a bunch of good rear end tweets about venezuela or whatever, prompting half of those new followers to yell at him for being a 'tankie', and then he gives up until he has something new to promote

absolute king. this is his new poo poo

Yeah, I was thinking it was gonna be sweet as gently caress with coffee liqueur. Might be better with a shot of espresso - or infuse a bottle of vodka with coffee, pretty easy to do at home. Maybe a touch more simple syrup to compensate.

bernie would have won
Finished my first play of this game the other day. I had previously started, died giving the double fingers to Garte, and closed the game right back down again.

Went heavy into psych and motorics, constantly putting points into Inland Empire for an alcoholic, deeply hosed up Dale Cooper intuitive cop concept. As seems standard for goons' first runs i went vaguely lefty Sorry Cop turned Ordinary Cop.

I just have to say I know how talked up this game has been, but I am still blown away at how funny, yet thoughtful and even emotional this game is. The first night hanged Harry dream, the phone calls and (end game) Dora dream really got me :(

I can't wait to run through again and pick at all the threads that I missed (political quests) or accidentally shut down (church rave), and even just to experience more of the dialogue options. Think I will try a dumb as poo poo Electrochemistry party cop

Game owns

End game:

DOLORES DEI - She is not kissing you back.

YOU - But I succeeded...

SUGGESTION - This was not about failure or success. This was always going to be horror. I should not have suggested it, and you should not have listened to me.

There's a Secret Task unlocked in the "You smell like a corpse" segment of the very final conversation where you can respond "But I never touched the drat thing!" but I don't know what the response is, I just saw it on a list of secret tasks.

That second quest is honestly one of my absolute favorite parts of the game, even the outcome where you completely gently caress it up is powerful, but actually doing it right (and drat if you didn't have the perfect build to do it right) is just... perfect. So it's a shame you missed it, definitely get it done on a new play through.

Something else you might consider going for is the good final dream, which replaces the Dora one

sleeping on the island in most runs will get you the dora dream, they're talking about the other possible dream sequence which requires you to never be reminded of dora for the entire run

"I think if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that Penn State and Michigan both suck and are garbage and it’s hilarious Michigan fans are freaking out thinking this is their natty window when they can’t even beat a B12 team in the playoffs lmao"
welp im in the middle of a high phys/no touching the body run and I think I can still avoid the dora stuff time to figure out if I missed this on my ten other runs somehow.

I actually got it on my second run without even knowing it was a thing you could get, I just decided I wanted to be a character who listened to his gut when it told him to move on and rejected it when it told him to cling to the past. But what's funny is that I never had the dream at all, I skipped sleeping on my first run, so when I finally got there I was still so incredibly confused by a lot of the talk in here. Finally watched a video of the normal one online, hah.

It's not a huge thing, so don't get your hopes up too high, certainly not enough to do a run around by itself, but if you like chasing after stuff like this it's nice and it was a pleasant surprise.


Which reminds me that one of my absolute favorite parts of this game is just how seriously committed they are to creating content the majority of players will miss. It would have been so easy to make the sequence we're talking about mandatory, and they didn't, and I love that. (Although I think they made either dream in general way too hard to miss in this one particular case by putting it behind such a seemingly stupid decision, but as a general design approach it was great)
