I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

quote:

The developer had some… odd ideas about the advancement of technology by 2019 if he thought cryogenics was going to become viable. This game came out in 2014, there’s really no excuse. He would have been better off pushing it forward another decade at least.
Sorry to pick this little comment here back up again almost six pages later, buuuuut I don't actually think this is true. You might not know this, but this game has been in development hell for... hell, longer than I can remember, really. Ten years at least - I think I stumbled over it for the first time back in 2004 or something to that tune. The reason it feels weird is because 2019 actually was the far future when the guy started writing his setting. Assume that you were frozen around 2025-ish and it would've been two decades after he came up with the idea, which was already in the game when I first played the ultra-early pre-alpha back in the day.

I think the reason the "mystery meat" at Zom Zom's is described as "kind of like veal" is because the usual point of comparison is pork.
I read about an anthropologist once who travelled Africa visiting indigenous tribes and was once invited to a tradition post-war "victory dinner," as it were. :v:

He says that the, contrary to common belief, actually doesn't taste like pork at all. He says it's actually like very tender veal. Maybe the developer read the same article as I did.

You know, in the context of the final words of Sergeant Whatshisname, the one who got us the inside scoop on the prism project, it seems rather believable to me that civil unrest caused by those reveals may actually have been what set off the end-of-the-world situation on the government level, at least US-locally. Martha's Army becomes a whole lot less weird and psychotically ideological if you think of them as the one-to-two-generations-removed remnants of the political activists that gave the original "gently caress you, Big Brother" kick that took the government down and made it unable to meaningfully respond in the face of the crisis.
