Actually, generally speaking, German's speak very gently. The reason we associate the language with aggressive delivery is because well, the most famous German made speeches that way and most shooters are set in WW2 where they are currently in the middle of a battlefield.

[@Coconut-219]

Other than at the World Economic Forum - I can say that MOST Germans do not talk like that in current day.

[@ObsidianDragon7030]

It's also the age old problem of people associating The german language as a whole with Southern German. A Good friend of mine showed me the difference and North German is WAY more gentler sounding.

[@cordia96]

It's also the use of language in a military/industrial context. Corpo-speech sounds cold.

[@Densoro]

Yeah, I had a big German music phase in high school, and Silbermond and Marta Jandová really highlighted how graceful the language can be. People just think German sounds aggressive because they hear it in contexts that _are aggressive._

[@tanakaba]

Now I am imagining Germans watching Trump or Obama speak then thinking all Americans talk like them

[@piotr78]

As to why they would put 2 cameras in a small room where 1 would suffice. Just to let you know we're not just watching you, we're following your every move

[@CyricZ]

Hey anyone playing this ahead of or alongside Woolie. Don't do what I did. When you hit credits, jump back in. Don't look up questions about why the game seemed to end and get spoiled like I did.

[@PoisonInc]

There's actually a really neat clue when you get back to the title screen. But yeah, I had a feeling people would have been like "oh... that's it?"

[@CyricZ]

@@PoisonInc Found it in retrospect.

[@piotr78]

I always find reading achievement names when they pop up helps with games like this

[@ReverendLeRoux]

@@PoisonInc I mean, there's more than a neat clue. Like, for one, it doesn't say 'continue' like it normally does, it says 'Begin'. And that's not even covering the background. Similar to Nier: Automata, the game putting a warning like 'Hey the first credits roll isn't the end of the game' just feels like not trusting the audience enough to play the game.

[@Nabs-xd2qr]

Heh. Rookie mistake.

[@NevetsTSmith]

God, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was so unobservant when it came to that lock picking puzzle. Definitely felt like a dope after I got it, but at least it's obvious when you do realize what you're supposed to do.

[@ironeleven]

One notch too high and correct looked way too similar on my first run.

[@Skullnaught]

Tearing my hair out everytime Woolie refers to the obvious references to communist East Germany as "corpo fash"

[@adams3627]

I'm just here for the KRANKENFLÜGELN

[@Wakkabutler]

This game is excellent. Love seeing how Woolie handled some of these obtuse puzzles. I loved every minute of it. I feel like I’m getting close to the end here

[@Densoro]

The tactile number tech is great, but the problem with 10-key is that phones and keyboards went at it in completely opposite ways. Always screws me up, like trying to remember which button is X after playing on every console.

[@tzera_rhuon]

As someone that's *attempted* walking in Ballet heels, it's literally the first thing I noticed 😂

[@JesseAnderson]

Oh wow, cool detail with the first Isa scene: it briefly pops up with her ID which includes the number used as a password later on in the game.

[@piotr78]

I was CONVINCED that fan at around 28:30 was an item I couldn't reach😄

[@illiaflannery7312]

that lock picking puzzle was hard to sit through. This game is rad as fuck tho

[@ascendedsleeper7820]

Always love to imagine Isa having the same cadence and weird intonation as Angela from SH2, personally.

[@piotr78]

Ooh the code being in the actual game manual would be good too

[@NicaB412]

I love how that first code has '0451' in the middle of it. (Before I found the combination, I tried 0451 on its own, as a joke.

[@alterionnarvien5933]

Hype AF for this

[@naiustheyetti]

17:12 monster? they look like monsters to you?

[@sunkeyavad6528]

21:00 It only sounds aggressive when english speakers try to do it. Most of you guys sounds like you're trying to imitate literal Hitler. For some reason you guys always want to pronounce things way too hard. Idk if it's because most of the german you hear is from nazi movies or because german is just slightly more clearly/sharper spoken than english which is a bit more blurry/slurry and you overshoot alot but somehow that is a super common pattern, even in acadmic circles. So my first advice for speaking german more correclty as an english speaker would be to speak it softer than what you want to default to.

9mm usually cost from 0.40 to 1.50 dollarydoos

[@alastor8091]

There's actually a listing on Ammo Seek right now for .10 pr for a box of 50. Limited to 1 box, but a box is a box. The next few listing are .19 pr. Still not as cheap as it was, but its getting better. Hopefully 2024 won't screw this up again. That and the Supreme Court has been kicking in a lot of teeth lately. Hope this country stays free and gets more free.

I don't know anything about this game, but that first year production CZ75 in the thumbnail cought my attention.

[@just_matt214]

It's a sci-fi horror game set in the dark future of the Sino-German alliance where, instead of the Nazis, 1920s Germany was taken over by the Spartakusbunde. You play as a Totally Normal Engineer Android that is Totally Not Going Insane exploring an offworld gulag in search of her assigned human officer/lover. There's radios. A lot of them.

[@newpeupyoass]

@@alastor8091 Correction, first model. It has the short rails that the very early version had.

Jeez, 10x20mm is pretty overkill for a standard issue handgun: the real life 10mm Auto (10x25mm) is as powerful as a .357 Magnum...

[@HellecticMojo]

Maybe tech has made the overkill a necessity given how the default enemies are cyborgs.

Slavoj Žižek: "I was in China 10 years ago. They no longer use the term “communism” - now they prefer the term “a harmonious society”. When I asked to explain what they mean by harmonious society, they told me that it means a society where every individual is in his own place and does his/her specific work: a woman is a good mother, a worker is a good worker, a teacher is a good teacher, manager - a good manager. And I said: “Now I understand. There are multicultural disagreements. In Europe, we call this “corporate fascism””."
