  • To be fair, many people KNEW your character pre-amnesia. There are very valid reasons for many of them to treat your character like an asshole, because to be frank, he kinda was. This is a very big and very intentional part of the game. You’re also a cop coming to police an area that hasn’t seen a cop come around in literal decades.

    Garte, the hotel manager, doesn’t like that you’re being incredibly loud and trashing your room. He’s a bit of an asshole, but honestly with good reason, and he comes around if you make an effort to apologize.

    Lena, the Cryptozoologist, is really friendly and very charming.

    Cuno is a drugged out kid, he’s supposed to be absurd.

    If anything, Kim is impossibly accomodating and patient with you. Even if you’re an asshole to him. There’s a reason people love him and call him “best boy” because he’s got these little windows into his personality even through his stiff police exterior.

    There are some actual racist assholes in the game, but I feel very confident in stating that the vast majority of the characters are not assholes.


  • Because it’s an opinion article and maybe it’s OK for the author to make an subjective statement of the quality of a thing they love? Like, if they really believe it, is it wrong to state that? Do they need to qualify everything in their article with “this is just my opinion, sorry if you don’t agree.”

    I get being annoyed by hyperbole in articles, but I don’t really think that this warrants this kind of response. Sometimes it’s OK to make strong statements. You can make statements like that without implying that people who think differently are bad/wrong.








  • They aren’t talking about empathy, this is something else. It’s about the guilt of feeling happiness in a world that seems like it’s going in the wrong direction.

    That guilt is understandable, but when it becomes so pervasive that you feel the need to express that guilt on every single expression of joy, that seems unhealthy for society, and it makes people much less likely to join a movement.
