All my friends who played DE think it's an ugly tie, everyone who hasn't, including my wife, think the tie rules and looks great with everything. Funny how that works out.

PROBLEM

A few days ago you made an irritated radio call in response to one of the latest happenings on the increasingly heated *culture war* front. In response to the decision of an actress (actor) named Ellen (Elliot) Page. You are employing this awkward and impossible naming style because it is now apparently mandatory and you're probably doing it wrong. Nonetheless, as *you're doing it wrong* is the whole point of what has been made mandatory. But also, you're trying to make a point. You've essentially been banned from Speedfreaks.FM as a consequence. You say *banned* although technically you've been *suspended*. But the suspension will not be lifted unless you retract the hateful statement in question, and you would rather die than do that. And hopefully it will not come to that, although who the hell knows in these increasingly strange days.

SOLUTION

Up yours, woke moralists! We'll see who cancels who!

Curses! Foiled again!


I once had a random hookup shortly after I left my ex-husband, which went wonderfully and I kept seeing the dude for a while cause we had a great Netflix-and-chill thing going. But I broke it off after one evening, he mentioned in passing some guy he'd been reading about with "some interesting ideas", and he couldn't even actually remember the name but it sounded like it had to be Jordan Peterson.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Got through day two by finally getting into the harbor and finally getting the body down- but I had to internalize race science to do it. Kim mentioned an alternate path that I couldn't find, and I'd actually exhausted most of the random dialogue in the area before adding racism to the thought cabinet which made me wonder if I was screwed...until I stumbled rear end-backwards into an extensive quest behind the bookseller's curtain just by poking around to kill time. Pretty wild for a completely optional area!

The harbor seemed sparse though, I'm not sure if I missed a staircase or something but the only people I could find there were Evarts and Leo. It was also a little strange grilling so many people abour the murder after I'd already spoken to the Hardies who outright admitted to the murder that morning; probably hard to cover all the sequence breaking bases.

Mostly I've just been vibing around as an apocalyptic drug-loving communist and it's been good times! I did also take the actual art degree which has been an unexpected boon, since I keep loving up and taking psychic damage everywhere.

Sounds like it's been a good time. Just soaking in the feeling of the world and the situation is a lot of the joy of the game to me.

If you need to pass time, you can try reading and rereading a book. It's not super efficient but functional.

The harbour is pretty sparse, there's some handy pick-ups though. (Carry a crowbar in your hand to open most grey outline containers.) You might have missed something minor up and left of the way in. Optional though, most of the game is optional.

In case you missed it, if you see someone up on a balcony over the apartments. Minor mechanical tip. You can talk to them from the ground floor. But not the person on top of Whirling in Rigs.

Spuriously accusing everyone you meet of the murder is just good dectectoring technique.

The armor pieces have pretty nice stats, and there's an achievement for reassembling it. The armor projects strength and authority, which is why it appeals to law enforcement officers/fascist paramilitaries. Having a chest piece that stops bullets might come in handy at some point too, Revachol is a dangerous place...

The car is probably the best example, but one of the strengths of DE's writing is how it effortlessly slips between treating the player as actually being Harry versus treating the player as merely attempting (with mixed success) to pilot him.

It's hard to give the player immersion and agency while also acknowledging their genre knowledge and not treating them like an idiot. DE threads the needle perfectly.

It's really unique among videogames. Having the voices in your head literally metagame and offer "sequence-breaking" advice is something I've never seen before.
