Gonna force myself to try this again. 5/3/2/2, with Logic as my signature. Question, is getting thru the game without drugs/alcohol use a reasonable ask?

Yeah, my initial Harry was sorry boring centrist cop who stayed sober as penance. Totally possible and the crew at the end congratulates you on it, iirc.

Question regarding Evrart and his help is it possible to find Harry's gun without him? I've already discovered I had pawned it before I talked to him., Just wondering if I actually need him at all or if I can find The Pigs on my own.

Why would you not want to work with Evrart? He wants to get the children off drugs and on rollerskates.

Evrart is a land of contrasts.

Are there any playthroughs of the OG game (unless you know of a good Final Cut one that started) where someone actually takes the time to discuss some of the game’ssymbolism and politics? Likely the only way I would be into an LP of this but need something to hold me over cause I’m too busy to really sink my teeth in at the moment. Bonus points if they’re not some neolib dipshit like every Twitch streamer who just wants politics to shutup so they can keep making money off donations from whales.

Just fuckin lol at them just now getting around to saying the PS4 patch isn't even ready People always try to be like "well you know, contracts, capitalism, maybe they CAN'T say anything!" but like, no, that's not doing it for me, I literally can't imagine what would prevent them from doing SOME communication

Latish game spoilers: I'm pretty sure after you send the letter off Evart lays his cards on the table; he's planning to seize the habour from Wild Pines and re-invest the resulting funds into restoring Martinaise to its fromer glory, while simultaneously placing the Union as the de-facto government of the district. This plan is pretty much the natural continunation of the Union's role in Martinase over the previous years, and presents the same issue; while it's clear that the Union is the only organisation that has done anything to actually govern and improve the standards of living in the district, it also means handing more control over to someone as slimy as Evrart.

Seems like the best out of a series of really lovely options. It reminds me of Nationalist China and how the central government lacked the resources and the means to govern the outbound provinces so they relied on local warlords loosely aligned with government but functionally independent and self serving.

As opposed to the pristine unslimy-ness of the Moralists of the world and their hired killers, or unrepentant bougie scum like Joyce who want to keep a "pornographically poor" neighbourhood around because it's charmingly quaint ? Or worse, fascist assholes (of which, thankfully there isn't really a serious, leading example in the whole of Martinaise right now ; just a bunch of individual little assholes making life worse for everyone around their pissant little sphere of nuisance power... but if fascists are anything, it's easy to lead/dupe/coalesce into a violent force.) ? Socialisme ou barbarie, bratàn. On an unrelated note : I seem to remember that the necktie is supposed to start making comments with Inland Empire at 4+ ; but my current Cop is at 6 and my second-best friend in all the world has yet to chime up. Does it have to be 4+ when you first pick it up from the fan ? Kobal2 fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Very meta, very disco. The skill also leads you down a path of substance abuse, giving you quests to procure amphetamine, or just buy a magnum sized bottle of wine. These quests are often non-refusable.

You can pretty much say the same thing of Stalin and Mao (even if both added their own brand of stupid self-sabotage). Or the French Revolution, or the Commune de Paris, or South America as a whole... Basically every socialist experiment has been crushed from the outside, most often by capital (special mention to Makhno's Ukraine, which got crushed by socialists ; although I suppose one could still ascribe it to capital albeit more indirectly). The *one thing* liberals do not want is an example of a functional, successful society not controlled by liberals existing and threatening their deathgrip on everything (no matter what that alternative is - doesn't *have* to be Fully Automated Luxury Communism). There is literally no effort or vileness they will not stoop to to prevent that from happening. They would rather destroy the entire world overnight than cede even a iota of power ; and they know full well how powerful "we're the ONLY solution" is.

That is a rather unfair characterization. It is true that the union will be dealing drugs, but that's because contraband is the only thing that the capitalists dedicated to destroying the union don't have power over. It's basically their only source of income outside of the capitalist structure.
