The Octopus, The Mouse, and the Liberation

[@DaThings]

I think we all learned a valuable lesson about morality, helping others, and the immense amount of good we can do for the world if we simply Attack And Dethrone God

The only sensible action to take, if there is a god, is to shred and devour the blighted thing.

[@Axius27]

@@1234567890qwertyu701 To paraphrase one of my characters, if there is a God, and He created all things, then He is responsible for all things evil in the world, and therefore must be evil Himself. This is not the view of actual Christian philosophy, but their conclusions require a number of assumptions that we have no way of proving, given God's stubborn silence. This version is much simpler.

Really thought Octopus was gonna be pincushioned by 2 dozen golden statues with bows scattered across the museum's rafters ngl

i can never listen to hawaii part ii without laughing audibly whenever “i am the mouse” plays and i always look crazy :(

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S WHERE IT WAS FROM

[@Cicada_4324]

I DID THIS JUST TODAY

[@morganrosenfeld5917]

I'm going to chose to believe that Octopus does still have their gun in the epilogue, and the moment they see all the former statues they just start blasting wildly.

[@holymackerelthethird2478]

I spilled water on my laptop right as Penny said "neato poggers moment". These may be the last words I ever hear from it.

[@daalimbe]

Was it not a neato poggers moment?

[@McBehrer]

I LOVE this game. I especially was a fan of how the solution to the election sidequest was disguised as the quality-of-life "skip the things I've already done" mechanic. The moment I realized that that wasn't JUST a convenience thing, but actually the solution to getting him elected, was huge for me

[@Penquinn14]

the 4th ending gave me chills ngl

[@guytorie]

[Ending 4 Spoiler Comment!] Ending 4 made me so happy that I've gone back before to watch the vod again specifically to cheer myself up. Seeing everyone get freed from eternal torment in the Underworld to live normal lives is one of the most soothing things I've found on youtube, especially with Penny playing the game. The ending is a little silly, but it's worth it to see hell get permanently dismantled by Octopus and watch everyone there get rescued.

[@meruscales]

Its cool too if you convince Pluto to let them go rather than blasting your way through. Interesting conversation on morality

[@Tulipia5]

You know the fact that Hades said that what counted as a sin was basically what you thought was right, explains a lot why killing the hermit didn't count as a sin...

[@McBehrer]

no, the only reason killing the Hermit isn't a sin is because there are no statues down there, so Hades didn't see it happen

[@Tulipia5]

I swear, the philosophical argument sucks so bad. Like, his argument is about individual moral codes, but he never stops to consider that the unfaithful wife doesn’t consent to being stoned to death? Why doesn’t her moral code matter?

[@josequiles7430]

But how would you get past that, with a completely individual approach to morality? Like, if I think it's moral to kill you but you don't, how do we resolve that?

man, the fuckin philosopher dood is so damn irritating. I mean i guess he does get the theme of the game (that morality isn't black and white) across, but from what i remember of watching the stream he never really proposes an answer. if you ask me, the answer is obvious. People come together and determine a collective set of rules that helps to progress society forward. It's really that simple.
