I love this Moment so much Bob recognizes that she is more of a victim. He knows she had a psychotic breakdown because of the things a brutal dictator forced her to do. Its just such a profound sense of empathy

[@PabsoDesign]

Maybe that's another of the reasons of why Helmut's image of Bob is an ear: a kind and compassive person who was ready to lend an ear to others; now that he's putting his life back in order, that aspect of him is flowering once again.

[@hrpang]

It just occured to me their "concentration" style is very befitting their characters. Ford, Bob and Compton adopted the classical psychic stance. Ford being the essential founder of the Psychonauts and Bob and Compton having families that are part of the modern day Psychonauts. Compton's little shake also could be indication of his enormous psychic energy. Cassie adopts a stance similar to Buddhist meditation, especially since she's supposedly of Chinese descent thus it's probably something from her culture. Helmut meanwhile is relaxed and chill, likely a joke to the whole drugs thing but also to showcase as the creative one, since he is the only one lying down. Otto being so involved in technology, channels his psychic energy through a piece of tech. Details like this help make good characters.

[@thundershrike1448]

Helmut's also the only one with his eyes open

[@theinvader73]

The fact Bob was the first to hug her when he had the most reason to hate her is so god damn heartwarming

[@destroyingheal3968]

Well yeah but he knows not to hate Lucrecia for what Maligula did and honestly, I love Bob even more for it.

[@ThePa1riot]

That's kind of the reason I love these characters, none of them really seem to hate each other even if some of them have issues with each other. They really do come across as an old team of friends that truly loved each other.

[@splatterkay]

@@ThePa1riot It even extends to the non-psychonauts. I'm of the opinion that Augustus is legitimately the most compassionate character in the series. He decieved, lied to, had his son run from him, had to find out that the one who he thought of as his mother wasn't really her, and that his real mother had died, and so much more. And yet, he's optimistic. He has his down moments, like when he just remembered the truth. He admits that he has a lot to think about and consider, and he admits that he is wary of Ford after everything that happened. And yet, he forgives Ford. He can't be angry at Ford or Lucy, because he knows how much they suffered, too. Sure, he has some mental baggage to sort out, but he's already excited for the future of his family, and he has readily embraced the psychic powers running through him and his children. He really is the best dad.

I love how this random lady walks in to their special sanctuary and declares that she used to fool around with somebody on the beanbags and yet they instantly know that she’s Lucy even though they thought she was dead lol

[@Landis963]

Lucy's guise as "Nona" was mental alone, I think, whereas her guise as Maligula is more involved (costume change, etc.). It's plausible enough they could recognize her, I think, especially given her immediate reference to something only Lucy and Ford would know (her romantic entanglement with Ford). (Also, Ford's reaction immediately lets the rest of the group know that she's telling the truth in that regard)

[@JorgeTheConqueror]

considering everyone's head looks like it was shaped by hitting 'random' on the character creation screen, I can believe they'd recognize her by sight alone

[@sillykola50]

Wonder why Mentalis uses that eye medallion for his PSI powers. My theory is that he's a relatively weak psychic, but he's super smart, so he invents psychoreactive devices to work as a sort of handicap aid.

[@ember3579]

That or he identifies so strongly with his inventions that it just feels right to channel himself through them.

[@jacoba6983]

he could use Technokinesis

[@DavidTMarchand]

Regardless of in-lore explanation, it's cool that most of them engage in a way that fits their character. Raz with his goggles and classic pose, Helmut nonchalantly, Compton nervously and trying to block out external distractions, Cassie with methodical meditation (probably outlined in her book), and Otto through one of his inventions. Surely there's no way to have so many shots of characters performing the same action over and over again without your animation team wanting to do something unique for each one, but it's still nice that they did it.

[@rjthecosmonaut5306]

I have a theory that Otto mentalis isn’t a real psychic at all, or more over he’s an artificial psychic~ he was the only ones mind who didn’t get shattered during the fight between meligula, and he found an output for his tragedy via inventing how he felt, and the psychonauts used them and made Otto feel better again~ and the fact when he astral projects he does it from his necklace and not his mind itself, and he does have an ample borderline obsession with psytanium, so maybe Otto invented his way into becoming a psychic! And his necklace is what gives him psychic abilities~ since him and cruller experimented of psytanium~ I believe Otto found a way to turn a normal person into a psychic, I guess that’s one good reason his past is shrouded in mystery~

[@fermintenava5911]

I actually don't think so. I prefer to think that Otto is just a rather practical person that puts all of his focus into his hands and can't keep them still. Maybe the amulett helps channel his psi-powers into something not-moving so his hands are free to do other stuff.

[@russianmegabot5272]
