Man this gots to be the least subtle with there marxist communist political leanings. Like most of the game its fine but here is like "look at this crazy rich guy ha ha." it's like what a communist thinks being a rich person is like. Also whats funnier if im remembering correctly they added this as a extra in the definitive/remester addition. As in this was not in the original game.
@@AL-lh2ht That's how rich people are, when you have so much money you are completely detached from the reality of actual workers and you become a corrupted person that only wants to gain more.
I rather see this as a rejection of the myth of meritocracy. If meritocracy was true, real world billionaires would need to be physics breaking crazy alien individuals for the amount of work they would need to put in for the amount of wealth they have accrued.
What's more interesting is that Kim is not subject to the distortion of light. Which means his ratio is smaller than 96% vs Kim, ergo Kim has an appreciable fraction of the wealth of the High Net-Worth Individual. Alternatively: The HNWI not actually that rich, which means Harry is just *abysmally* broke. Which is quite possible, considering his lack of cash and possibly several substantial debts.
I don't see any real reason to doubt his line about having a net worth of at least one billion, which would then mean that Kim has a net worth around forty thousand or more.
When you stand near him your net worth is almost 40 billion. Which implies he indeed has alot of reàl (money) and he also just hands you 100 reàl if you pass the check.
This is all incredible writing, but the absolute funniest part is the conceptualization check modifier "-2 Art degree useless." Sadly, it doesnt show up here. But another thing I love is you can propose a terrible investment on purpose, if you have enough rhetoric, i think?
I somehow find the idea of this man just chilling in the container and it not being a figment of Harry's imagination even weirder than the light-bending stuff.
Can someone please tell me what happens if you pass the impossible Visual Calculus check? I have mine at 19 but it needs to be at 20 and there's nothing else for me to do in time to get to 20 and pass the check. I just want to know what happens if you pass, but it seems that no one on the internet has a video about this.
Nothing. It's what's known as an "Anti-passive", a passive text that only appear if you fail the check. if you have max visual calculus, no text from visual calculus appears.

Given the fact that only Harry sees the distortion and nobody else really believes you about it, it's pretty obvious that Du Bois is just freaking out or something. There's no way the amount of net worth someone has can change the laws of physics, no matter what encyclopedia says. Also yeah this game obviously has its Marxist influences, but the whole point of the Communism quest is that you see it's a bunch of losers. Granted, a bunch of disagreeing losers that can make matchboxes float midair. But in a world where the pale exists, a physical manifestation of the past and memories, maybe the power of thought is more powerful than one might expect.
Do you need to be of any particular ideology to criticize multi-billionaires? Most ideologies view extreme wealth inequality as a sign of failure. Even libertarians and such will tell you that most billionaires would not be able to amass such wealth if it were not for government favoritism and corruption. Most defenders of billionaires are essentially fanboys, rather than ideologically-motivated people who view them as a desired part of their ideal world.
Tbh after the ridiculously high skill check and having everyone tell you that the contained probably was empty, it would had been great if the container was indeed empty.
not really, gameplay wise it would be a really bad choice and would leave the player more frustrated than amused. The investment a player has to make to actually get into the container, is way to big, for such a small pay off that is "look, haha, this container was really empty, you should have believed us, we are funny".
Don't they do a similar thing with the street lamp for sale in the pawn shop? It's very expensive, you have to save and scrounge for it all game, but the investment does nothing. You can't even carry it out of the shop with you because it's too heavy to lift.
If you speak with easy leo about him a medium inland empire check reveals this: ''You do realize he might be just a figment of your imagination, right?'' This may be just a secret place where Evrate stores union assets and you start hallucinating once you see all that wealth. You just figured out the phrase to open that container. Kim also tells you that for him there aren't any light-bending effects.
@@ahzayah9026 Lorewise not entirely, in canon apparently your networth difference actually makes you unable to see him properly, even kim can see him normally
If you're doing the ultraliberal questline you can also gain the 'Net Worth' overlay on your taskbar, a liquid piece of stock given to you by the Light-Bending Guy.
I had two options, one being to come up with an investment plan that was certain to fail, the option had a low chance for success, so I figured that almost certainly failing at certainly failing might cancel each other out, and that's exactly what this game did. I love this game.
The idea is just one you stole from Evrart. You can only suggest business ideas that you're familiar with, as going to the Haunted Commercial District gives you the radio game pitch. You need to get the signature paper before you can pitch the youth center
Suceeding the conceptualization check gives in a great price, but seeing Kim's dumbfouded reaction on every scenario Harry puts himself in is just priceless 😂😂😂
this was the video that made me play this game. i started watching, then stopped 2 minutes in and said “i gotta play this before i spoil it for myself”

@@AL-lh2ht Nah, it was in the og game, i remember meeting this guy, he gave me a bunch of real and extra XP.
@@AL-lh2ht That's how rich people are, when you have so much money you are completely detached from the reality of actual workers and you become a corrupted person that only wants to gain more.
@@1997lordofdoom This is a psychologically proven fact.
@@AL-lh2ht did we even play the same game? yes. yes, that is the entire point of the game.
It's so funny that Harry *SPECIFICALLY* is so poor that a billionaire seem like a physics distorting god in his eyes
I rather see this as a rejection of the myth of meritocracy. If meritocracy was true, real world billionaires would need to be physics breaking crazy alien individuals for the amount of work they would need to put in for the amount of wealth they have accrued.
I won't say how, but I got over 200K real from him and his appearance didn't change. This means that Kim has a net worth of way over 200K.
That is what it feels like
I absolutely love how Evrart calling Harry a fucking idiot heals morale
Laughter is the best medicine
i think there's a thought that makes self deprecating choices heal morale
Insult and dismissal stops Harry’s brain from having to rationalise a cosmic horror…of course it heals moral.
I love how your real count goes off the charts when you enter the container
it also rises exponentially when you move closer to him like a white hole hahaha
Haha I thought it’s a glitch

the actual answer is: harry WAS hallucinating. seems much more plausible
@@odinlindeberg4624 4% of a billion is 40 million.
When you stand near him your net worth is almost 40 billion. Which implies he indeed has alot of reàl (money) and he also just hands you 100 reàl if you pass the check.
Additionally once recieve the stock shares and your net worth goes up to 300k or whatever it was he still warped meaning Kim must have millions
Literally so rich he distorts light like a black hole. Love this guy
Kim being pissy you ask people for money all the time only to have his brain break when you get $100 ten seconds later is so funny
Word has it this is the investor who stole the game irl
When my money started going down as I left the container I was screaming like that squirrel from Ice Age
I convinced him to give me 100 dollars to sponsor my "charity"
A yes my amazing "business" "model" (nice clothes and a hotel room)
I mean, giving money to Harry might as well be a charitable donation
Claire might be total douche balloon but for him to just outright say "You're a fucking idiot, Harry. I love it!" That got me
"But you do feel the overwhelming presence of....capital" killed me during my plathrough lmao
in case you're wondering, this is a heavy bulgarian accent he's making and the VA is bulgarian :)
Source: guess
Really? It sounded like a bad fake accent to me lol 😆
@@AgniFirePunch hahah, definitely not. Hard bulgarian accent is just weird
It's just regular slavic accent, Graad is an amalgamation of slavic ethnicities
damn mega rich light bending guys, allways standing around bending light in our containers.... CONTAINER CONTAINER!
nothing could've prepared me for what was inside that container.
This is all incredible writing, but the absolute funniest part is the conceptualization check modifier "-2 Art degree useless." Sadly, it doesnt show up here. But another thing I love is you can propose a terrible investment on purpose, if you have enough rhetoric, i think?
Can you convince Kim to tell Evrart that the guy is real? I'm curious how that last conversation could go differently
Kim tells him the rich guy was real, but that the light-bending is just in Harry's head. He doesn't believe Kim either.
Evrart won't believe it. I've tried
A 3% I’m happy to have rolled.
Damnit Harry I told my guys not to let in any more mega rich light bending guys
I somehow find the idea of this man just chilling in the container and it not being a figment of Harry's imagination even weirder than the light-bending stuff.
This encounter alone made it worth choosing Rhetoric as my primary skill for my first run through of this game...
"whats the point of being rich if you have to follow all the rules" oh how many great things have died because people took this advice seriously
15:59
God, this is such a funny delivery
I fucking absolutely adore this game
Aggressively Russian black hole levels rich person
I was literally convinced by kim and evaret that there is nothing in container. This game never disappoints. Hats of to developer's
Won a 3% check 1st time to get in. I wanted all the monies. Only got like 5 real

I have mine at 19 but it needs to be at 20 and there's nothing else for me to do in time to get to 20 and pass the check.

i got into this room but the guy wasnt there
only had 3 uh? where did the 100 come from?
This is how some people look at Elon Musk

It's a metaphor. Demons are a metaphor. The deserter saw Iblis. This "guy" absorbs light.

This part was crazy mental
Thanks for the spoiler in the thumbnail.🙄
really, how else would you know that Mega Rich Light Bending Guy bends light, ffs

They do this with the bunker in the beach imo, you cannot open it no matter how high your chances are

@@asdf852asdf You actually can pass the check after a bunch of reloads, and then the bunker still doesn't open
@@Strikingeight there are a few checks you can "pass" without it actually working
This was the moment my brain broke playing this game. Like everything was so mundane and relatively realistic until this.
That's just harry's hallucinations. The real weird things begin with the Pale

Wdym you can't bend light with your sheer net worth?
@@ahzayah9026 Lorewise not entirely, in canon apparently your networth difference actually makes you unable to see him properly, even kim can see him normally
what about the ending?
If you're doing the ultraliberal questline you can also gain the 'Net Worth' overlay on your taskbar, a liquid piece of stock given to you by the Light-Bending Guy.
You’re not an ultraliberal, Duplicate.
🥴
The sense of humour in this part is so smart and hilarious at the same time! I'm truly impressed.

thanks for uploading this; most other ones recorded the game when they didnt have voice-overs
notice how the idea that wins him is suspiciously parallel to current high education

@@nicolasvidal92i just did it the other day before I even opened Gary's door
I opened it on my second day's morning with a 3% chance, it felt like I was seeing things I was not supposed to until later.
"You're a fucking idiot, Harry. I love it!"
Rhetorically speaking how high is actually is your rhetoric?
I could swear that on my first and second playthrough there was just a duffel bag with FALN clothes.
Suceeding the conceptualization check gives in a great price, but seeing Kim's dumbfouded reaction on every scenario Harry puts himself in is just priceless 😂😂😂
Art Degree means nothing.
If Elon musk doesn't bend light then I don't want to meet him
I literally got through a 3%
Rhetoric check on my second try and I didn't regret savescumming after this
this was the video that made me play this game. i started watching, then stopped 2 minutes in and said “i gotta play this before i spoil it for myself”
I never noticed this container, wondering what more did i miss
So, is this dude like Q from Star Trek or whut?
I think he's some rich business traveler who's spent too much time in the Pale.
