P. G. Wodehouse the writers of this game were not... ... although, to be frank, he was also quite goddamn guilty of being racist as the rest of them.

Though I don't think he was bad as Agatha Christie. He certainly wasn't as bad as Sax Rohmer, the man who has written the most racist screeds I have ever read, and I have read Gone with the Wind, Tarzan of the Apes and Mein Kampf.

I seem to remember hearing that Vic liked a laugh too, despite the typical representation of her otherwise. One reason for that is actually something that is not represented in this game - after her husband died, she pretty much only ever went around in mourning black clothing (so I have heard).

I'm pretty sure the walking animation in the photographer's room was so slow was because it was specifically the walking animation for going up/down stairs.

PurpleXVI posted:Catching up, I do genuinely appreciate how the writers take the piss out of everything about Victorian England, including the nobles. There's absolutely zero nostalgia for the "good old days" or respect for the Empire in any way. Every bit of conversation with Mossop is also consistently entertaining. ...yeah, the game has grown on me a bit due to this. The fact that it threw us in the deep end to begin with was a bit... Much.

Yeah, the solution for the flash powder is... I certainly wouldn't have gotten it.

Oh yeah, the old adage about the moon being made of green cheese? The colour of green cheese IS approximately the colour of the moon. It's green in that it is immature cheese, see also greenhorn.

Well, I'll say this much about the game - the Union Jack was ACCURATELY depicted, re. the very small red lines.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:Isn't that how it's usually depicted? I would say most representations of the flag don't have the correct orientation of small red lines on the X - this game does.

I wonder where that very distasteful stereotype of people being boiled up in a pot came from?

Well... It picked up a bit, but this game did suffer from the passage of time, and I don't just mean re. software limitations. Nevertheless, thanks for the LP!
