"In prison, rats do get got" is where I lost it in this video. Splat, your commentary has always been top-notch and the biggest strength of your channel!
I find it very interesting how much splat knows of prison culture. If i remember correctly, he said in the anthro prison game that his mother was a CO, and one of the respected ones, so he learned a lot of their inner workings through her. A lot of small differences between his stories and a lot of prisontubers too. Currencies being ramen to envelopes to cigarettes to just random bartering, how amenities and architecture affect everyone's behaviors, the gangs in occupation, It's such a fascinating setting.
Fates Worse Than Death had a supplement where you get to sit in cyberpunk third world USA prison. There you need to learn old and new routines and traditions like which gangs have which area and what services and products can be had. Cigarettes are the inofficial currency on the inside. One gang has monopolized the garden. One technical feature in that game is stun implants. There are no guards physically present except in a few locations, guards watch through monitors and can zap people through their tracking implants. There's lines where you are automatically zapped, like entering someone's cell or an adult prisoner crossing into juvenile.
It's hell in many ways...... Bored and social douches.... Ever bathed with a sink connected to a toilet using a ramen cup to rinse while standing on newspaper so you don't get ur cell wet? Use the inside of a Starburst wrapper batteries from a radio and stolen razorblades and toilet paper as a wick for a lighter..... That's just jail.... Imagine a giant living room..... With 50 cells connected to it and at least 3 per cell..... Then imagine them all menstruating at the same time and the guards hang trash bags on the rails of the pod to collect all the tampons..... Think of that smell....
Just wow. I've watched your videos for quite some time, and that's kind of how I got to love indie games. Seeing a game that I've worked on for 3.5 years brings me so much joy. Thank you so much for the time you spend playing. I hope the full release version will meet your standards and you will play it even more. :D
I keep thinking of MIB where they’re like “we have one standard galactic week… that’s about an hour.” Like I just imagine that at the end of the game when you escape there’s some end of credits scene where someone’s like he was only sentenced to 150 space years, in human time he was going to get out tomorrow anyway.”
I like that at the 1:31 mark you can tell by the skip in the character's animation that you edited the video to jump ahead, and you were *still* going on about various non-human characteristics you wish you had.
I would totally love to watch you play through this whole game. as with the other prison games. you have great voice over and commentary for them and play them better than I would.
Worked 13 years in a maximum sec prison in nys. This made me chuckle a good bit. Theres always something for someone to lose, even if they are there for life. Looks like fun
Humans got the all-day endurance to go with being a persistence hunter. And don't underestimate thumbs; they enable use of dwarven hammers, which I know is important to Splat.
Your insight into the value of opposable thumbs got a good chuckle out of me. We are not making good use of them. And while I think the modern drive toward accessibility is actually a good thing, it's strategy -- if applied properly -- would be to negate any thumbly advantage the thumbed have over the unthumbed. Asfor the "I'm going to die in here and you can't punish me with anything worse" -- please google the term "nutraloaf". Yes, yes they can.
Hahaha, the part where dead inmates get their consciousness transplanted to still serve out their full sentence got me! Even death won't let you escape your punishment. That is such a fresh and indeed dystopian idea.
My first thought in watching the gameplay was actually of Vambrace. The character models and the pathways to take just reminded me of that game. This does look interesting. It seems to embrace the whole 'everyone has some secrets, something they want' aspect of prison stories
This looks really cool! I like all the mechanics and things like having stashes hidden all around. It kind of reminds me of Deep Sky Derelicts (really underrated roguelike, IMO)...It could be in the same dark scifi universe.
“You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power-he's free again.”
Ah on a real tangent here, it isn't out thumbs, it's our ability to throw very fast and very accurately. No other primate can do that, and it's why we are the dominant species more or less. Our species found the infinite ammo cheat (rocks are pretty much everywhere in abundance) and just exploited it until we developed mathematics and made it even more exploitable.
I heard from my father who helped rehabilitate light sentenced inmates that it takes years to execute a prisoner unless the crime is severe and without any doubt in their guilt due to human rights complications, those prisoner live like some sort of untouchable in the prison for years, even the guards don't know how to deal with them because they basically have nothing to loose except their dignity which they can throw away just to fxck somebody.
formalin is the trivialname for formaldehyde (the stuff to make tissue not decompose, think organs in a jar in horror movies) ;) i used it a lot at my last jobs in the tissuelab
@@reddytoplay9188 Yeah but the imprint could be corrupted after all that damage, and could occur something like Jackie in Ciberpunk. The copy of him was incomplete and/corrupted sohe barely got something to say.
We have endurance and sturdiness! We traded off that gorilla strength for efficiency, very few animals can run a marathon like we can. And most species will go into shock and die to wounds that we survive.
1:05 That's the beauty of it you can wear those cool stuff if you make them first and oh boy humans made a whole lot of deadly things. We're modular (versatile) is what I'm trying to say.
Although the joke Is funny, i think he probably meant the kindergarten 1 & 2 games, bizarre games where you collect legally-distinct monster trading cards by causing trouble (and More often than not death) every day until you unleash a catastrophe on the kindergarten along With another character named nugget after you collect every legally-distinct monster trading card
I hope when you escape the screen suddenly goes black and the warden talks to your disembodied consciousness saying something like, "thank you, subject 537. You helped us identify at least one new vulnerability in our system. You will now be implanted into your new body to serve out your remaining 399 years 11 months 2 days of incarceration. Two hundred and fifty years have been added to your sentence for the attempted escape. The next time you try to escape you have to accomplish a few more goals that are easier to accomplish with game knowledge and meta progression. You survive long enough to get a clue how you die Rinse and repeat as you get further and further, and the Warden gets increasingly unhinged and scary. It gets to the point of you hopping the metaverse and starting intergalactic wars just to escape. Maybe the warden begs you to stop and you cause the heat death of the universe when you refuse.
Looks incomplete, dialogues should be more focused on the plot, I don't want this to feel like a management rpg, I hope relationships aren't just "hey do this mission for me and we're friends" there needs to be some impact in dialogue choices
In the last fight, the enemy said, he was stimmed 2 times. In the document a few moments earlier, splat read that 3x stimming would kill someone. Soooo.... Would it be possible to give the stim to the enemy so he would die?!
This looks pretty cool actually. Not what I was expecting from the intro. The “doing stuff” animation is a bit meh but the environment design is really cool.
Look, Splattercat, I know we humans have invented all manner or horrible evils like war though, if a Galactus like being came down here today and told us to justify our existence or be exterminated, we would at least save ourselves with the words "Beer and Bacon". Screw thumbs. 'Nuff Said. 🙂
