12: Black Market Concerns [Kislev Capital]
🕑 Added 2019-12-09 12:01:00 +0000 UTCHey. We're in Nortune now, which means everything is different until it becomes the same again. Enigmatic forces of questionable benefit are everywhere. Prison initiation rituals are unavoidable. There are suspect choices on diversity and representation. Fei finally sleeps a lot. We also discuss pretentious attempts at creating introspection, our wish for a D Block Animal Crossing spinoff, bomb collars in popular fiction, Rico's clear origins in Blanka, and bro'ing out Hammer The Supplier. At the end our JRPJesus returns to put more sins on a tab that he will never pay.
Next week, we face the horror that is the Kislev Sewers. But, really, it's fine. Don't worry.

We totally missed that -- we did not notice it until we were combing through a Let's Play for sounds effects for Episode 13, so we've already recorded a correction at the top of the next episode regarding this very excellent foreshadowing mechanism.
hint in the sewers: the red filter POV and green filter POV are distinguished in color for a reason....
Seth Who Talks Too Much
Oh and while I'm ranting on this, I'll add a sui/cide TW for this because yes, the *modern* discipline of psychology, or at least pop psychology STILL DOES THIS and there's a whole lot of people who act in this dickish, guilt-trippy way in real life to at least one subgroup of people - those who suffer from depression, especially sui/cidal thoughts/feelings have to deal with getting this directed at us a lot. If you've ever seen/heard a sui/cide prevention approach that relies on literally telling people to live for other people in ways like "but everyone relies on you" or "your family would be devastated!" or "don't you know it might make people copy you" or other approaches like that? Or approaches to depression that rely on literally forcing people to work or socialize or do other things they truly don't want to do in hopes that "being the mask" will bring them out of it? That's literally that same battlefield-medicine, "make them do what society/I want them to do/lock them up until they think better of it/snap them out of it by making them fake it until they make it/sink or swim" level of guilt-tripping and manipulation Citan is using with Fei here and... unfortunately, a lot of abled, neurotypical people IRL don't seem to get WHY it's not cool to do to people who are suffering from suicidal thoughts and depression unless it's literally the ONLY option to keep them from ending it all right there right then...
