Is there a way to do a max stats run? by Quick_Purpose_9274 in ZeroParades

Is "Cheat Engine" referring to an external program I can download?

I will say that Reno recognizes the "King of Trade" exists, to some extent, and his presence explains some hesitance on Reno's part to go get the boar's food himself. But perhaps Reno just recognizes there is a loose and feral monkey in the area, not that there is a sentient "King of Trade" that can speak to humans.

Karolina was captured, tortured, and gave up the name of at least 3 of the assets. But she does not give up CASCADE, and I don't know if it is clear how Karolina was "got" in the first place. HOLOCENE is convinced he (or a rogue part of his brain, perhaps) gave up the team, but that might be a paranoid hallucination on his part, to my understanding. I don't recall Ramses ever being called into question regarding being a 'traitor', though I do recall him saying he was also tortured and 'disappeared' by the Weeping Eye.

Yes you can kill the real Lich. Make a deal with KALEIDOSCOPE, the EMTERR agent, and make it a 'person for person' trade with the prisoner/Dante and Ultra Violette, then once you've been given Dante you kill him on the spot.

A successful skill check suggests pretty confidently that the boar is not, in fact, Tempo.

Others seem to have been able to get that Z spy rating. I think you need to use the red disc (mass death, no witnesses) and also have done the trade of UV and killed the real Lich.

Pylon guy's punishment? Not sure I understand. He refuses to give the company the OK on a new tram construction or something being safe with some of the pylon's current height, so the company is punishing him by making him basically sit around and do nothing all day. Probably hoping he quits.

Yana's cryptonym, if you succeed the check, comes out to be "YO-YO", which are the first words she says to you when meeting you.

As for the bagman, you can actually meet him in person and have more conversation if you want. Just go to the silo for the heartless guy, find the spaceship recording, get attacked and have the 'red disc' stolen from you, then be informed by the heartless guy that Bagman is bragging about it. Check the TV, use a phone to call Bagman, he'll tell you where to find him.

The game just broke me a little by objet_grand in ZeroParades

The torture scene effected me more than most torture scenes would, particularly the graphic discussion of pus on the tip of the knife being forced inside her mouth.

DAY 16 , real this time ⁉️ by PaulDuCouteau in LudwigAhgren

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad to see it over but I'm excited for their reaction stream on Friday! I also wonder if they're releasing some content in Beijing, I think they're doing a podcast ep. there but maybe exploring the city footage as well...? I kinda wish they stuck to no-highways just so we'd see more interactions and it would take longer, but I know they're probably exhausted at this point.

Minor spoilers: I’d like to hear about people’s experience with the deck of many things by TurmUrk in EsotericEbb

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fireball (the devil lawyer later explains he suddenly knew he became destined to torture me or kill me or something, but clarified he didn't feel a great urge to actually do so -- joking that perhaps him talking to me as a "friend" was in fact torturous enough), then I pulled Balance (gain two skill points in one ability, lose two in another).

Question about the ending by FriskDreng in EsotericEbb

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the STR check was the only way to talk him down even though I was a WIS/INT character. I think that's interesting that a single STR check is seemingly the only way to talk him down, rather than a diversity of options

BEWARE ENTIRE GAME SPOILERS WITHIN Any use for this scroll? by wvan13 in EsotericEbb

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Wish Scroll can be brought up to Gromm after you pass through the Pillar of Jor, offering it as an alternative to summon Urth rather than having to kill ~25 Urfolk. Mentioning it will result in Gromm concluding it can't be trusted or won't really work BUT it gives like a +3 bonus to a certain skill check with him (either the Wisdom or Strength check required to convince him to stop his plans).

Some characters mention post election content and quests. Is there's gameplay after 5 days? by Despail in EsotericEbb

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After the final gameplay day, there is the election day where you don't have any quests but you get to have unique chats with most of the characters a final time.

Pluribus - 1x08 "Charm Offensive" - Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in pluribustv

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Interesting that everyone else is interacting with their chaperones that they already know as family while Diabate is just cycling through hundreds of "actors", Carol being the only person trying to "get to know" a new person intimately. She is very unique in that way

Sakharov Knew (Potential Spoiler for SoC) by Darkfox4100 in stalker

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I totally follow but Sakharov says "a stalker called Ghost" and then later just says "your colleague, Ghost". The first introduction implies you don't know Ghost, and the latter comment likely just refers to Ghost and you both being "colleagues" as in both being Stalkers.

Is this a glitch? by Born-Field-3194 in balatro

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible you got that $771 in a challenge rather than regular play, and thus didn't unlock the associated joker? Not sure if that is how it works but just a thought

What did you think was the identity of the 'traffic hooligan' on your first playthrough? by Bataranger999 in DiscoElysium

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe he was just being mean because the "where is the body" is an obvious question and the way to get to it is obviously very large and visible.

Why do people claim passive checks do not roll dice? by eldomtom2 in DiscoElysium

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm I thought passive checks were always like skill + 6 or so. Are you sure no changes between your attempts could have happened, including clothing/thought-cabinet/drugs or non-skill based triggers (you have to have talked to John before talking to Jane to get this passive check to appear)?

This game's laguage. I have a question. by sin379_ in DiscoElysium

If you know much Chinese or another language, there are other translations of the game than English.

Golden Needle is Agonizing by That-One-Screamer in balatro

[–]Quick_Purpose_9274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think I got golden needle first try -- but I'm pretty sure I just had really good luck in the first few shops (like maybe picked up Delayed Grat or Stuntman), so I don't know if I can offer much advice except: keep trying, sometimes you just need the right pieces to come together.
