Conceptualization and Drama are intellect's Half-light and Electrochemistry, when it's appropriate for them to chime in, they're fantastic, but MAN can they say some stupid shit
@@Just_Matty I love it because I see it in friends that are "high drama". They can be such personable and influential people sometimes, but man sometimes they are just self-absorbed weirdos, ha ha.
I finished my first full playthrough of the game and holy shit, Kim is literally the best friend you could ever hope for. When I was told at the beginning of the game that Kim would die for you, I was sceptical, but the man is a goddamn saint compared to you. I wanted to get my shit together and be a good normal cop just because I didn't want Kim to be disappointed in me.
In a weird way, the skills are almost never lying about anything. Not that you know first play through. It's kinda like going Malkavian in Vampire the Masqurade as a first playthrough.
@@SirRule To be fair those are Reptile Brain and Limbic system, not skills. And even then they tend to protect you from the truth then maliciously lie to you.

Honestly "Why are you so mad?" is a legit question...in the context of "I barely know what being a human is, I need colors and shapes re-explained to me, Kim help I'm not fully convinced I'm not an ambulatory cabbage."
For me, the reason I would ask that question, is more because I wouldn't have expected this anger to come from Kim. But I dunno if that was the implication from the game, really, with that option.
Which is why I’m sort of bummed they didn’t even ask it. He’s really skipping a lot of those dialogue trees, it’s like he doesn’t realize he character genuinely doesn’t know this shit.
@@gummyboots I think the implication was: does the Character's subconscious know what racism is or is he one of those "what's all the fuss about, I don't see color" loons?

Y'all can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that "tare" is meant to refer to the fact that when weighing out something for purchase (such as produce), the "tare" is the deduction in that weight to account for the weight of a container, so that the customer is not paying for the container in addition to paying for the good purchased. In this case, "tare" would be any such food-holding container. In this case, empty bottes.
You're correct, more-or-less. "Tare" and "tare weight" can be used interchangeably, but one may naturally/informally intuit that "tare" may be a generic word for an empty container. It could be a recycled word or something colloquial like it is here where we some people refer to postal shipping trays as "tares".
Yeah, Wollie did read out that definition during the video, but didn't connect. As Alexandre Cauchon said it's used more in shipping, but even a scale in a supermarket has tare settings for when they use a container with weighed stuff.
Yep. easier for anyone who's had a chemistry lab or bought bulk goods recently to remember. You have to hit "tare" on the scale to subtract the weight of an empty bottle or bag first.
Few games manage to gives Woolie that many laughs. Reggie is also pretty quick with the jokes. This kind of LP seems to fit them better than Dark/Demon's Souls.
It probably is going to depend on if they don’t make it hard to follow the narrative of the game while playing it. This let’s plays seems fine for the most part, but I couldn’t get through 13 sentinels because they kept pausing for way too long in the story
the 'gameplay' is fine even if you fail some of the checks, theres no skill element (which woolie obviously fails at) so its much easier for everyone involved
Is there a "Hyena Woolie" compilation yet? I think he has one of the most unique "true" laughs I've ever heard, makes it easy to tell when something REALLY gets him. I know somebody made one for matts wheezing, but not sure about woolie.
Him running around with one health is worrying. I do kind of wonder if he knows about the "Special" that gives permanent boosts to help out his frail body, but this seems mostly blind.
I remember that on the podcast once Pat mentioned a story where he kicked a mailbox, and as a result had a heart attack and died, but I don't know if Woolie still has something from that long ago in his mind.
Tbf, this level of world building (different nations with different political histories, tensions and social issues, etc) is pretty standard for rpgs at this point. It's just extremely rare you see that kind of work applied to a more modern setting.

59:13 Please, someone actually explain to me why Woolie hates Conceptualization so much. Even Eletrochemestry is more intrusive and it doesn't get that reaction from him. I legitimately cannot logically comprehend why stuff like this gets him this annoyed
Woolie seems to really struggle with the idea that the conceptualization skill is for... conceptualizing. He takes everything the skill says as extremely literal where most of it's dialog is like painting a picture of an idea with words. To Woolie it appears that Conceptualization keeps popping up to wax poetic about what's happening where really it's often giving some important insight or detail into the scene through metaphor. Basically, he doesn't understand. Even though he says that he does.
@@YorkJonhson that’s part of it, but as another commenter said, Woolie can only take things in a literal light. I find this game is fascinating in what it reveals about people. Even if he says he’s no racist in the “that” detective episode with his cup response, the fact he was eager to see the answer is still kinda telling about Woolie. He’s uncomfortably eager to have that stuff show up
@@gameb9oy Wanting to see how far you can take the crazier elements in this game doesn't make you a closet racist. Especially since the game itself clearly isn't romanticizing those thoughts.
@@YorkJonhson I’m not saying he’s a closet racist, I want to be clear on that. It’s more like he never seems to get the gravity of stuff, and that can get a little annoying when he actively seeks it out
@@Abdega Please, Woolie is no Measurehead. Measurehead is alternative race war Woolie. Would be something like "The slightly Portly Semenese man in attention grabbing clothes and dreads is staning around. Under his breath you believe you catch him say "Whens Marvel?"
"Gorący Kubek" is a name of popular polish brand instant soup, you empty the mix into the cup, hence the name which translates to "hot cup". So yes, it's almost certainly *very racist* to call him that. Also, you butchered the pronunciation (and so does the game).
Well can you be genuinely racist if you do not understand what are you even saying? Also how is it racist? Ain't racist if its not hurtful. Besides you call him goracy or kubek basically hot or cup. Being called hot is not really racist now is it? Also did he ever say his name at any point? If not just use a street name. How many guys called fatso do you really know (i was called that for most of my life because i was fat still kinda are but most males my age also got fat so yea). Now most of people that know me do not know my legal name but only my "street name" (however you call it in English).
@@xxXXRAPXXxx It's think it's less relevant what Gorący or Kubek might happen to mean, but the fact that you'd hear someone speak in an unfamiliar language, pick out two words that you could kinda make out or remember, and just decide that must be that person's name haha. If you wanted to, it would be reasonable to just ask for someone's name or accept the language barrier and not assume their name, rather than indulge in what little humor could be found in picking random foreign words and not particularly regarding them as another person. In this particular game scenario too, where failing an encyclopedia check might mean you don't know what a book is lol, failing this logic check might just mean you're too dumb to piece together that you haven't actually gotten this person's name haha. More of a streak of ignorance or just a dick move rather than explicitly racist perhaps, but I think to do it intentionally could definitely be rooted in a racist disregard for a foreign person. Do you like being called by that street name/ nickname? Would you rather be called by your own name? How about no name?
@@xxXXRAPXXxxyou can definitely say racist shit without a vicious intent, without even knowing it. that's not even a question. you get the luxury of not knowing but the person that receives the comment has to live with that shit. they don't get to be ignorant
I can finally watch these in pieces now that I'm about 5 hours into the game. And oh man. I'm only a little sad that Woolie and Reggie didn't do all the dialogue options with the lorry driver. Hearing that dude go on about how "our kind" have been proven by genetics to be the superior race was... it sure was something.
Man, does it make anyone else nervous that they've been sitting at 1 HP for the longest time, and no healing items? Feels like they're going to trip over something and die. At least if they were holding one in their pocket, it'd give them a chance to use it if they ever go critical...
I played this game as a guy who had taken a figurative fall and is essentially broken, but thanks to Kim he tries to be the best he can be, even if he slips sometimes. Also a hard core communist. This LP seems to be going in the opposite direction so I'm interested in seeing what the differences might be in late game.
At least in the States, I am familiar with tare from my time working at the grocery store. On the scales there was a button to zero the scale and another that performed the same action but was called "tare weight." It would denote the weight of the packaging for store records but only use the weight of the meat or vegetables or whatever to calculate the price they pay. Think of it as "that conceptually *free* stuff you get when you buy a product that lets you put it in a bag or a shelf without making a mess." Bottles, wrappers, boxes, foils, containers in general when the important thing is whats in the container. Pronounced like tear, what you do to a piece of paper asking if you want to protect the white heritage from inferior culture's influence.
[CONCEPTUALIZATION] - Success + N: pass + Slur Stopper - "That" kind of Detective. The title. That video length. The particular persons playing... Grab a snack before pressing play, this is going to be a treat!
I think the Racist Lorry Driver interaction would be better if his name started out as Lorry Driver and as the dialogue progresses his name is replaced with Racist Lorry Driver.
I'm European and tare is the only name that is being used for recyclable bottles around here. A lot of common European words made into this game, which makes sense since the developers are Estonian.
35:04 honestly even if THAT wasn’t the particular implication, the dude still seemed to immediately assume that Kim was directly from another country, which isn’t great
Not really... Didn't you hear the part where the police are supposed to be from another country that took over this one? The protagonist looks like a hobo, like the little girl said, so Kim is the one that looks like a cop. The only reason Kim took it that way was because the game was trying to set up that situation, not because it makes sense logically. The fact Kim was so quick to jump on the assumption the dude was a racist says more about Kim than that guy. The "racist" part should have only showed up once the dude used a slur.
@@cobblestonegenerator2183 The RCM are not from outside the country; they are the Revacholian Citizen's Militia, they are citizens of Revachol. The coalition just allows them to exist with minor power, if you play the game or watch later you'd know that. The lorry driver KNOWS kim is a cop and a citizen of revachol. everyone besides the little girl also recognizes that hobo is in fact a cop because he's wearing the patches and even if he's not he's rolling with someone who is. The lorry driver just deliberately ignores these facts and says what he does because he's a clearly a fucking racist. also, the game generally doesn't update names, and often the names give you info you wouldn't have otherwise known until you talk to them for a bit.
And then there's the chef, who is literally named the exact racist term the game tells you not to call him Maybe, just maybe, the game is very poorly written when it comes to topics the writers are stridently opposed to, to the point where even otherwise well written characters turn into unrecognizable caricatures when dealing with it- extra ironic given that caricatures are the subject in question here
38:00 Manga viewers will know that Woolie and Reggie's facial reactions to this was great. From laughter to very real 'ohhhhh' as the racist lorry driver started.
I can honestly say the "Fuck Around" play through is fun. Maybe do a play through how you'd like and then go balls to the wall nutso. There's a decent enough reason two of the starting archtypes have 1 int.
OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT FOR WOOLIE TO LEARN ABOUT PALE. If you do not know; please play the game. If you won’t do that; please go read about it. It’s wonderful.
Woolie patting the mailbox might be the first positive non-self harming thing he's done this whole LP. Like it's been road to shittist detective right out the gate. :C
19:49 my girlfriend called this guy sans the skeleton and I could never unsee it for the rest of my playthrough, and he spends the entire game just hanging out in the Whirling
Woolie, be vary of some answer options not being visible, when there's like 4+ If the dot on the side isn't all the way down - scroll down, just in case.
god that racist rhetoric breakdown (I believe the right term is microaggressions) felt so good. Made me realize how many times I'm a victim to that with weird little questions like "where are you from?" cause I don't look like other people here. Don't you just love it when you can just say you totally weren't trying to hit-confirm into a rekka and get away with it because you have enough protagonist priority to backdash if your poke gets blocked?
47:49 had one of those back in Monroe New York. We called it recycling machines though. I used the money I made from it to buy books for the school library for my mitzvah project. In fact I think one of the putt-putt games had them and that was the main way of getting currency. I think it was putt putt enters the race?
16:24 i feel like this game is doing the equivalent of smacking Woolie and Reggie on the back of the head every time they make a "bad call" to try to teach them to not go attempting something that's way beyond their abilities or to think before chosing a option. And every time it doesnt work.
Funny thing is, I'm 80% sure if you say something like "I deduce you are very small.", she laughs and it's essentially played off as a joke and you don't take morale damage. In general I think a lot of the time you can get away with failing dice rolls without rough consequences, just takes some careful decision making. You'll still take damage sometimes, but you only really screw yourself over by picking poor options, rather than failure.
The commentary during the encounter with the racist lorry driver was perfect lmao I just wish they also checked the other option for what the argument was about
Ah that speech after meeting the racist driver. This is the best playthrough of this game. Can someone just make a clip of that speech, people need to hear this.
I really dont get some of the checks in the game, whis is Composture tied with deduction? I dunno wha is the result but shouled be tied to one of the mental skills? (blue/purple)
Composure is your own ability to remain composed, but it's also your ability to read the composure of others- to see if they're holding something back, or putting up a poker face, that sort of thing. Most of the skills that let you do something also let you see it in others.
@@Sethar1234 Thanks, the only one other I knew about is Drama for lies and being deceived. I still think it should not be yellow but they have to fit it somewhere.

Super cancel your systemic racism before the race war
Honestly yeah me too Spigot
Racist option select is simultaneously the most on brand thing for Woolie, and also an amazing podcast title
That part was great. Making an analogy between option selects and the plausible deniability that racists thrive off of was extremely slick
:Freezing child forces to work outside by her mother instead of going to school:

"what a good little soldier of capitalism you are!"

@@Abdega Please, Woolie is no Measurehead. Measurehead is alternative race war Woolie. Would be something like
"The slightly Portly Semenese man in attention grabbing clothes and dreads is staning around. Under his breath you believe you catch him say "Whens Marvel?"
"Gorący Kubek" is a name of popular polish brand instant soup, you empty the mix into the cup, hence the name which translates to "hot cup".
So yes, it's almost certainly *very racist* to call him that.
Also, you butchered the pronunciation (and so does the game).
Well can you be genuinely racist if you do not understand what are you even saying? Also how is it racist? Ain't racist if its not hurtful. Besides you call him goracy or kubek basically hot or cup. Being called hot is not really racist now is it? Also did he ever say his name at any point? If not just use a street name. How many guys called fatso do you really know (i was called that for most of my life because i was fat still kinda are but most males my age also got fat so yea). Now most of people that know me do not know my legal name but only my "street name" (however you call it in English).
@@xxXXRAPXXxx It's think it's less relevant what Gorący or Kubek might happen to mean, but the fact that you'd hear someone speak in an unfamiliar language, pick out two words that you could kinda make out or remember, and just decide that must be that person's name haha. If you wanted to, it would be reasonable to just ask for someone's name or accept the language barrier and not assume their name, rather than indulge in what little humor could be found in picking random foreign words and not particularly regarding them as another person.
In this particular game scenario too, where failing an encyclopedia check might mean you don't know what a book is lol, failing this logic check might just mean you're too dumb to piece together that you haven't actually gotten this person's name haha. More of a streak of ignorance or just a dick move rather than explicitly racist perhaps, but I think to do it intentionally could definitely be rooted in a racist disregard for a foreign person.
Do you like being called by that street name/ nickname? Would you rather be called by your own name? How about no name?
@@xxXXRAPXXxxyou can definitely say racist shit without a vicious intent, without even knowing it. that's not even a question. you get the luxury of not knowing but the person that receives the comment has to live with that shit. they don't get to be ignorant
I hope woolie remembers the comment about 'pale aged vodka' when he finds out what the pale is.
I'm too stupid for this LP, but I'm staying for the reactions and pop-offs
Should have put all your points into Intelligence.
I love how okay woolie is with unpaid child labor
Hes inching closer to measure head
Oh god I can’t wait. There’s a goldmine incoming.
2 hour video, 45 minutes of total gameplay
No one can beat you, Measurehead
I tuned out measure heads advanced race theory on my own play through, but I can’t freaking wait for the race war commentary from Woolie.
@@Damaster1121 I failed the advanced race theory, I failed punching him, so I was forced to retry the jump a few times
I can finally watch these in pieces now that I'm about 5 hours into the game. And oh man. I'm only a little sad that Woolie and Reggie didn't do all the dialogue options with the lorry driver.
Hearing that dude go on about how "our kind" have been proven by genetics to be the superior race was... it sure was something.
Man, does it make anyone else nervous that they've been sitting at 1 HP for the longest time, and no healing items? Feels like they're going to trip over something and die. At least if they were holding one in their pocket, it'd give them a chance to use it if they ever go critical...
I played this game as a guy who had taken a figurative fall and is essentially broken, but thanks to Kim he tries to be the best he can be, even if he slips sometimes. Also a hard core communist. This LP seems to be going in the opposite direction so I'm interested in seeing what the differences might be in late game.
At least in the States, I am familiar with tare from my time working at the grocery store. On the scales there was a button to zero the scale and another that performed the same action but was called "tare weight." It would denote the weight of the packaging for store records but only use the weight of the meat or vegetables or whatever to calculate the price they pay. Think of it as "that conceptually *free* stuff you get when you buy a product that lets you put it in a bag or a shelf without making a mess." Bottles, wrappers, boxes, foils, containers in general when the important thing is whats in the container. Pronounced like tear, what you do to a piece of paper asking if you want to protect the white heritage from inferior culture's influence.
[CONCEPTUALIZATION] - Success

The title. That video length. The particular persons playing...
Grab a snack before pressing play, this is going to be a treat!
I approve of this, very futuristic.
Look forward to this p much every day, thanks for the great content Reggie and Woolie
59:10 Woolie Composture [Medium: failure]
I think the Racist Lorry Driver interaction would be better if his name started out as Lorry Driver and as the dialogue progresses his name is replaced with Racist Lorry Driver.
**mic drop**
nice
I'm European and tare is the only name that is being used for recyclable bottles around here. A lot of common European words made into this game, which makes sense since the developers are Estonian.
"You can't have a choice between bad and bad" Robert McKee is rolling in his not-grave (because he's not dead)
good thing woolie didnt kick the mail box. might have had to kick something else, too!
35:04 honestly even if THAT wasn’t the particular implication, the dude still seemed to immediately assume that Kim was directly from another country, which isn’t great
Not really... Didn't you hear the part where the police are supposed to be from another country that took over this one? The protagonist looks like a hobo, like the little girl said, so Kim is the one that looks like a cop. The only reason Kim took it that way was because the game was trying to set up that situation, not because it makes sense logically. The fact Kim was so quick to jump on the assumption the dude was a racist says more about Kim than that guy. The "racist" part should have only showed up once the dude used a slur.
@@cobblestonegenerator2183
The RCM are not from outside the country; they are the Revacholian Citizen's Militia, they are citizens of Revachol. The coalition just allows them to exist with minor power, if you play the game or watch later you'd know that. The lorry driver KNOWS kim is a cop and a citizen of revachol. everyone besides the little girl also recognizes that hobo is in fact a cop because he's wearing the patches and even if he's not he's rolling with someone who is. The lorry driver just deliberately ignores these facts and says what he does because he's a clearly a fucking racist.
also, the game generally doesn't update names, and often the names give you info you wouldn't have otherwise known until you talk to them for a bit.
And then there's the chef, who is literally named the exact racist term the game tells you not to call him
Maybe, just maybe, the game is very poorly written when it comes to topics the writers are stridently opposed to, to the point where even otherwise well written characters turn into unrecognizable caricatures when dealing with it- extra ironic given that caricatures are the subject in question here
38:00 Manga viewers will know that Woolie and Reggie's facial reactions to this was great. From laughter to very real 'ohhhhh' as the racist lorry driver started.
Sucking sound track has been stuck in my head for the past two weeks. I am digging this game alot makes me wanna get it and fuck around.
I can honestly say the "Fuck Around" play through is fun. Maybe do a play through how you'd like and then go balls to the wall nutso. There's a decent enough reason two of the starting archtypes have 1 int.
@@NEEDbacon sound track so far is great
TheHellion Revisited all of the sound design is masterpiece level tbh, I highly recommend playing it yourself
51:00 there’s that ampoule pat was talking about, we finally found it
OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT FOR WOOLIE TO LEARN ABOUT PALE.
If you do not know; please play the game.
If you won’t do that; please go read about it.
It’s wonderful.
I'm half expecting him to ignore the skill check because "fuck conceptualization"
Woolie patting the mailbox might be the first positive non-self harming thing he's done this whole LP. Like it's been road to shittist detective right out the gate. :C
The cute couple remark hits so much harder later on
Woolie describing Schrodinger's douchebag, or in this case, Schrodinger's racist, is top notch
19:49 my girlfriend called this guy sans the skeleton and I could never unsee it for the rest of my playthrough, and he spends the entire game just hanging out in the Whirling
We call "tare" used glass bottles
This is one of the more interesting series on WoolieVS.
something about the initial “how useful would that be” that gets me
Woolie, be vary of some answer options not being visible, when there's like 4+
If the dot on the side isn't all the way down - scroll down, just in case.
Fabio shirtless on the cover of romance novels? You mean right now? the thing that's STILL ongoing?
god that racist rhetoric breakdown (I believe the right term is microaggressions) felt so good. Made me realize how many times I'm a victim to that with weird little questions like "where are you from?" cause I don't look like other people here.
Don't you just love it when you can just say you totally weren't trying to hit-confirm into a rekka and get away with it because you have enough protagonist priority to backdash if your poke gets blocked?
47:49 had one of those back in Monroe New York. We called it recycling machines though. I used the money I made from it to buy books for the school library for my mitzvah project. In fact I think one of the putt-putt games had them and that was the main way of getting currency. I think it was putt putt enters the race?
god this is such a good lets play
Blue is for mistery? Hold on there inland empire, that'd be purple.
"FUCKED BY THE-" WHAT NOW? HOW WAS THAT PRONOUNCED? And Woolie manages to not howl in laughter.
Never mind. Got my wish later. :3

Just in time !
Can someone explain to me why Woolie hates conceptualization so much? This isn't a dig, I just genuinely can't figure out what the beef is.
Apparently he went to an Art School so probably resentment from having to deal with the exact person Conceptualization is aping.
Gorący Kubek is hot mug in Polish
16:24 i feel like this game is doing the equivalent of smacking Woolie and Reggie on the back of the head every time they make a "bad call" to try to teach them to not go attempting something that's way beyond their abilities or to think before chosing a option.
And every time it doesnt work.
Funny thing is, I'm 80% sure if you say something like "I deduce you are very small.", she laughs and it's essentially played off as a joke and you don't take morale damage. In general I think a lot of the time you can get away with failing dice rolls without rough consequences, just takes some careful decision making. You'll still take damage sometimes, but you only really screw yourself over by picking poor options, rather than failure.
Yeah, you can salvage most failed white checks if they’re not inherently harmless. It’s red checks that are meant to really fuck you up if you fail
@@AIextheguy That's what I was thinking, and what I would have done.
An Embarrassment of Riches
You ever eat a super for whiffing a jab?
Woolie hears The Racist say "Koyko"
Immediately pronounces it 'Kohj-koh"
As a trans person, that "Very Futuristic" part hit me as hard as "Welcome to Revachol!" hit Woolie, fucking high impact "Oof".
SAME. Got hit with the "Yep, i've had that conversation more than enough times this year" feeling
awww they censored out "fuck" specifically when relating to the mail box.
The commentary during the encounter with the racist lorry driver was perfect lmao
I just wish they also checked the other option for what the argument was about
Those main characters are like Scully and Mulder
Woolie doesn't like conceptualisation? I thought he liked imagination and creativity?
His [Conceptualization(Easy): Failure] check tells him he likes imagination and creativity.

On racism & the conversation tactics racists use.
34:40 Too real.
Wait, you guys don't immediately see through what people say to what they mean? Weird.
Ah that speech after meeting the racist driver. This is the best playthrough of this game. Can someone just make a clip of that speech, people need to hear this.
I really dont get some of the checks in the game, whis is Composture tied with deduction? I dunno wha is the result but shouled be tied to one of the mental skills? (blue/purple)
Composure is your own ability to remain composed, but it's also your ability to read the composure of others- to see if they're holding something back, or putting up a poker face, that sort of thing. Most of the skills that let you do something also let you see it in others.
@@Sethar1234 Thanks, the only one other I knew about is Drama for lies and being deceived. I still think it should not be yellow but they have to fit it somewhere.
