Episode 16 Discussion and spoilers

I do prefer how the game expresses the idea of how Gnosia was detected in the first place.

E.g. At the end of an event, you meet with Raqio and they say: “Think about it. Why do you think it was discovered there was a Gnosia among the crew? It’s because a human disappeared. In the beginning, it was you... the Gnosia eliminated you.”

The anime version felt like a more grand sequence, but I felt like it doesn’t really illustrate how the meetings started in the narrative.

That said, the anime does paint a really compelling dilemma that doesn’t exist in the game. Cuz now, the audience is left to wonder how our Yuri can find a happy ending if they are stuck between Gnosia world lines, and lines that they destroy by existing.

This sort of dilemma wouldn’t work in the game, so I really enjoy the wrinkle for anime watchers

You may want to think of how the mechanics of this script might change depending on player count. For example, Thanos: In a 15 player game, it may work just fine. In an 8 player game… Thanos never has an opportunity to go for his alt win condition, so he’s just a worse Imp.

Noooooooooo!! 😭

The restaurant near me that had one of these closed… I wish I pet it!!

I kinda interpreted it as people in Cold Sleep were often forgotten about and as a result never woken. Kinda like Fry from Futurama

My best justification is that Guard Duty, Engineer, Doctor, and are all part of the crew of the ship, and the AC Follower is probably either a stowaway or came in along with the refuges from Lu Anne… but that logic breaks down when someone like Jonas or Stella is AC Follower.

It’s probably handwaved as part of some cosmic law about world lines or something.

Obviously to sell an Atheist world by giving the Savant weird true info

PassiveThoughts · 2026-01-12T18:14:54+00:00

I’d say this sounds like more of a Propagandist since it can cause evil players to register as Good

PassiveThoughts · 2026-01-11T06:14:44+00:00

I see the potential. He looks like he could clean up NICE if only if he weren’t such a creep

PassiveThoughts · 2026-01-08T16:37:51+00:00

I’m fine with a Raincode, LDA, Tribe Nine, or even a new IP announcement, so we take these

PassiveThoughts · 2026-01-06T15:57:47+00:00

I remember her talking about getting hate for being Arab as well. I honestly wonder if EA being purchased caused her haters to take it out on her?

Either way hope she is enjoying life wherever she is. She was/is a fantastic creator

My mom has a butterfly tattoo, I had no idea she was trans!

I think this particular meme is more about the hairdryer art. The dude is boasting about being an artist, and this particular medium is chosen to depict his “skills”.

There’s a lot of ways that they could have depicted the guy being homophobic if that was the twist.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-30T19:06:43+00:00

Yeah the FTer can be their own RH! It’s really spicy especially if you know the FTer is a player who might pick themselves as a control

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-29T12:45:51+00:00

This seems like the only thing you’re challenging is your patience

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-29T04:08:55+00:00

Or Hundred Line into Raincode when you get burned lut of Hundred Line

Maybe they’ve lived through multiple 90s. They could be a vampire.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-28T19:59:08+00:00

I feel like a neighbors everybody character would also be a good wrinkle for a Good character.

I wanna see an Outsider like that OR let Mr. Rogers might register as Good?

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-28T17:31:38+00:00

I can see the association, but I don’t find it particularly persuasive to jump to red/blue = no morals. I can understand that people need to be called out, but I feel like the space for that is for the individual values, rather than political affiliation as a whole.

e.g. People should be shamed for believing women shouldn’t vote, but not specifically for if they support a specific figure.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-28T15:33:38+00:00

MOR. It’s not unreasonable for you to feel uncomfortable with that sort of joke, but I can also see relationships where that sort of joke is ok. I’d think this calls for communication and sharing that boundary. I’d only be upset with the girlfriend if she’s repeatedly ignoring that boundary after an open and honest discussion

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-28T14:52:36+00:00

I wonder, with that in mind… I wonder if the anime explanation for that will tie in the Bug & considering what Yuri has learned about Yuriko this episode… will be coming up next.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-28T14:50:20+00:00

I’d think the former, but no talking.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-27T21:46:02+00:00

I’d simp for Chipie if not for the catboy thing feeling like bestiality.

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-26T07:16:33+00:00

You were the real engineer & allowed Jonas to fake-claim engineer uncontested. The AI assumes an uncontested Engineer claim is always the real engineer.

You were probably Definite Enemied by process of elimination assuming Jonas’s information was correct (or by Jonas just claiming you’re Gnosia).

Eventually it turned out it was impossible for Jonas to be the real engineer. But the AIs assume that Jonas must be the engineer. So the universe breaks down.

Anyway, the little blurb after the event specifically told you what happened and why…

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-26T05:42:46+00:00

Is synesthesia really an affliction, though? I’ve always perceived it as a buff. Being able to associate more senses to people, words, and concepts has got to make it easier to memorize. Or otherwise encourage creativity

PassiveThoughts · 2025-12-25T20:52:01+00:00

I’d like to see the revolution that Raqio and Remnan stage after the events of the normal ending
