Development and gentrification are different things.

Specifically, gentrification is improving an area so that *other* people can move in. Development is improving an area for the people currently living there. Which one do you think Evrart is doing?

Slapping down a big building right outside someone's door does not sound like it is improving the area for the people living there.

Like talking to the various people, it's pretty clear the development is designed to drive out the people there.

There’s like a dozen people living there if you include the drunks and the club people. Not that it really matters since Evrart is probably biting off more than he can chew and the whole area is getting nuked in 20 years.

Gentrification, the game specifically says he's intentionally trying to drive the people currently living there out of their homes using loud construction noise so he can buy up the land for cheap and have other people move there.

I am watching "Sea Power" 's music videos and there is a shot of Ruby and Tommy together. I assume they are privy to lore and and don't know it. Thus there is a reason she and him intrisectaly trust each other.

So after playing this game again for the first time since 2019 (I finished it and straight up deinstalled, needed to let this one sit a bit), I did the Tribunal again last night.

One of the options [Tribunal spoiler] after you are shot in the leg and Kim is tending to you, but before you warn him about being ambushed is straight up telling Kim that you lied about your amnesia.

Which. Hrm. I have mixed feelings about, and don't see discussed all that much? (I haven't read every single post on the internet about this game, so if it's a common discussion point, ignore!)

It's kiiind of true when you replay the game. Because you the *Player* have basically been faking it this entire time.

I don't really remember if it comes up again after this, I'm not finished.

I don't really have much to say about it, it's just something that's been bugging me.

Harry is finally starting to realize he's in control of his life. He feels the shame of realizing that after being a belligerent jerk. The island episode clears it up.

e: rewatched a video where that choice was said, kim wasn't really paying attention to what harry was actually talking about while bleeding out, only mentioning that "I think you said you lied about being an amnesiac",

i think he just realizes harry was bullshiting also, because harry is 100% an amnesiac, even if the player isn't.

I haven't picked that option myself, but I think if you do Kim straight up doesn't believe you, and gets mad at you for lying in some stupid scheme to make him feel better about your death. Like, player decisions, schmayer schmecisions, whatever outside knowledge you come with doesn't change the fact that Harry the character very much does have amnesia, and Kim is around long enough to figure out it's real even if you pick all the options to pretend otherwise.

E: Especially if you pick the options to pretend otherwise.

Doing the Tribunal without a gun is the most tense thing I have EVER experienced in a video game. Doing that blind and not knowing there's literally no way to talk Kortenaer down... Just running around in circles trying to make logical point after point until it reaches its inevitable conclusion.

For some reason, "he's thinking about the leaf compactor" is one of the only situational bonus lines that won't leave me after finishing the game. Just a perfect little touch.

He seems to resent her for the abortion thing since it's the only time she insults him without provocation. Comes out of nowhere and is out of "character" for how Harry otherwise views her.

Me too. I'm going for a monarchist that's into history and full of toxic masculinity, so 5/2/5/2. Even though I'm a pig towards women I've ended up a feminist again already. I also flexed my biceps at Kim. I guess with those stats I could be a biotruther, but I want to stay away from the racism, while being distrustful of "foreigners" in a general sense and the Coalition in particular. I'll only pick on Kim for being a bit nerdy but I do want to bond with him over fast cars since that's macho, right?
