I'm gonna assume the choice doesn't matter because getting the good ending 30 seconds after starting a new game would probably have led to mass refunds so...Blue because blue is the best color

Right, so the poster itself. Ingredients are power, water, and a mold - we've got one of those already. Pour the water into the mold, add the powder, and throw it in the strange machine, and voila! Instant gelatin.

Doth thou desire the gelatin?

EDIT: drat me and my time-consuming need to get the quote exactly right, the post is already edited :(

You can lock someone away for being a serial killer. You can't do that to someone just for being annoying

There's a reason that, when buttons say 'don't press', you... well, you know.

Don't press them.

I once had an employee who'd accidentally hit the panic button at the front desk at least once a week to the point I ended up taping a small sign that said "Panic button, step off" in front of the opening below the desk as a warning, and so she'd know if she felt it over her shoe, to back her foot up a couple inches.

Anyways, the next day my new guy saw the sign, said "What's this?!" and jammed his foot in there.

Point is, telling anyone not to press a button is the absolute worst thing you can do if you don't want a button pressed. And is also probably the reason why fire alarms are switches in addition to being marked

Aren't fire alarms behind easily breakable glass*? Because I'd say switches and levers fall under the same rules as marked don't touch buttons.

Not all of them. Plenty are still wide open. Although now that I think on it, the reason they're levers instead of buttons is probably so that in case someone falls against it, nothing will happen.

Looks like Mira is taking up the mantle left by Ace and Dio as "that guy/gal that murders everyone by default".

I still approve of her here because Eric is dead.

I'm learning videogame design just so I can edit this game and make an ending where all 8 other contestants kill Eric.

I don't get why people think the guy who's just kind of a mediocre jerk is worse than the Actual Literal Sociopathic Serial Killer.

You can justify killing a serial killer by saying they were a serial killer. If you kill an annoying person and tell people it was because they were annoying, you get in trouble. So the rage must stay inside. Seething.

Are these choices, like the coin flip and the gunshot just now that are clearly 50/50 and split up the story points ACTUALLY 50/50 or do they happen in a set order? The diagram is pretty clear that there's a timeline where Sigma gets hit with a blank (or it's just too early and my brain hasn't unfogged yet so I missed something) and thus survives, so does he always get shot the first time?

Also note that in an alternate timeline in that scenario, rather than kill her in self-defense, he chose to commit suicide to protect her from the possibility that his actions weren't fully under his own control.

That does make me wonder...

The purpose of these games is to make a timeline where things work out, right? Are they jumping to others, or just seeing them? And if they're jumping, what happens to the original person in that timeline?

DKII posted:

Vacant Live-in Ready? I've seen apartments / spare bedrooms advertised like that, though I usually see it more as "Move-in Ready".

Mmmmmmm a little clunky for my tastes. I like my work talk to come out smoothly. I keep jumping towards "Vacant Light Ready" for a room that is technically ready but there's some issue that keeps it from being perfect (IE, previous guest had a very strong-smelling dinner and the smell still lingers despite our best efforts or something is broken and we have to wait for a part) but that's what Vacant Pickup is for.

...There's your daily insight in the hospitality industry. Tune in tomorrow for more fun facts as I turn this thread into a behind the scenes look at hotels.

Wouldn't she kidnap them and put them in a death game first?

Now THAT'S a twist ending I'd love to see. You escape all these deathtraps and confront Zero IV only to have her tell you that she kidnapped you because you bumped into her boyfriend years ago and that "Oh I'm sorry" wasn't enough for her.

Then she says "gently caress it", locks you in, and sets the room on fire

Assuming the Tenth Man hypothesis is correct (and all the clues seem to be pointing there), it's the Tenth Man. Otherwise, my bet's on Eric.

I was thinking the same, minus Eric. Unless one of the deathtraps involves ice cream.

Alternatively, Zero is Eric's mother. "If I had to suffer, so does everyone else"
