I don't know if I am stupid or what but how do I unlock the perk confidence? Sure I am still early but somehow I unlocked academics first before it?
I forgot which Feat it was attached to. List the Feats you haven't completed yet?

Just Tanaka's "Reliable" which I guess I can try but lvl 1 bond seemed super hard when I tried last time even with upgrades...
Oh, yeah. That depends on how much MOL you can spend on upgrades. Should be fine with lots of stamina and focus upgrades. Grind stamina and focus, only do Tanaka's questline as far as it takes for Eye Catching Attire, since it increases stamina costs of actions, which give more goal / attribute / relation progress. Yumeno questline should give Home Cooking, Hashimoto should give Larceny Kit. Then get enough focus lvls and use Larceny Kit to progress Tanaka's questline fast to unlock dating her in the evening, swap to Eye Catching Attire and Vulnerable, then spam all Tanaka actions.

I think that's how it goes? It's been months. I think getting Tanaka lvl 1 was harder than getting charisma lvl 1? Maybe??? If so, you can follow Hashimoto's questline to Debate action, which gives a ton of charisma. Grind charisma lvl 1 first, then use that buff to get Tanaka lvl 1. It has been months, so all this might be wrong

Mostly asking because from instruction text I got, it's apparently possible to get Confidence loop 1...from what I've seen, nothing I haven't done so I am not sure.

I have no idea what kind of satanic rituals they're committing to manage that

Anyone know how to get Impatience? Seemed like important perk if I want to get...basically any other feats unless I grind so hard to unlock either Truthseeker or collaborator. Truthseeker just feel impossible, that 200k goal is just...I don't know how to tackle it as even with self-destructive+Lacerny, I can only get 6k per day at most

It's Truthseeker. From Truthseeker on the feats become a lot harder.

Normal recommended MoL investment is around 1k to get it. The lowest run I have it used 661 MoL.

I'm very surprised.
Initially I didn't think much of the game, it seemed overtly simplistic and not very rewarding, but when I started to dig in deeper in the characters, it hit me like a truck.
At face value the characters seem somewhat shallow, archetypes instead of real opinions. We've seen it a billion times, the overtly attached girl, the rebel without a cause, the rich, older bachelor, etc...

If you leave it there, you'll be doing yourself a disservice. Once you start to interact more, you'll be shown how they truly think about life, their ideals, what drives them onwards and the impact that both the environment and character have on their growth.

Most importantly, it shows a journey of personal philosophy.

We all go through philosophical journeys in our lives, during them we change our opinions and ideas countless times over, this journey has "cycles" and are never-ending, for our growth never stops.

I'm not fully aware of exactly how, but the author seems to have very solid insight in the cycle of radically different journeys and growths.

For example, Hashimoto.


Her outwards aggression and petty crimes are, in her mind, the only way to subvert a system where both the parental and governmental institutions have actively turned their backs on her in a matter of literal life-or-death.

At first she's confused, angry, reckless and without aim. But through your interactions you can see her journey. She better shapes her arguments and philosophy with inspiration of some classical Marxist work, her actions become more guided, sharp and impactful. The last scream against the dark becomes the winter storm, she's no longer content with rolling over and accepting her predestined ending.

So far, I've only reached this point in her lore, I still have to play a lot more but I've seen the other journeys and most seem to have a similar level of depth. It's very realistic and I congratulate the author in the very fine literary work.

What kind of eldritch magic you used lol, I had to brute force around 2k MoL fully on academics and drive for it lol

I'm actually very proud of my L5 Truthseeker loop. It took a few days to figure out. I ended up having to go back to Loop 4 to get a few more MoL to upgrade Athletics one more time, which is what made the difference.

I'm hoping to beat CSDev's record for Nemesis sometime in the next few weeks. Once it is and it's submitted my full instructions.txt will be viewable.

For now, since a lot of things might change as I optimize stuff in all the loops, here's an abbreviated run.

If you mean Budget Blue-Blood, I don't think you need impatience if you spend MOL on the academic upgrade. Cause academics increase the amount of attributes you get, so you can just keep grinding academic lvls to get more academic lvls, then get a couple charisma lvls, then grind some focus lvls, then grind DuMont actions. Eye Catching Attire and Self Destructive is great for this. Ostentatious Clothes is an upgrade to Eye Catching Attire, but that's further down the DuMont questline.

I can only get academic by getting debate done sadly, it still take me minimum of 40 days to get everything up and ready to grind self-Destructive+academics to just barely eke-ed out the required stats. Even with +2 multiplier from academics, it's still way unoptimised for me to add anything else.

I mean the L5 Truthseeker run did absolutely nothing other than get that feat. No Savior, just a beeline for the feat unlock and getting it on day 99.
Man here are people going back to loop 1 to set records for fastest feat unlocks meanwhile I've just been churning MoL like crazy making new challenges obsolete xD
Bro out here power scaled for Release 5 content, meanwhile I'm getting all excited about an extra 30 MoL on a loop.

I'm also just grinding MOL. I do not have the energy to math out everything to try for leaderboards and then make repeated attempts. Also I want to see if I can find Tanaka 7 days after she gets kidnapped or something. She gets kidnapped to another country by some cult led by an oracle and then suddenly her completely ordinary childhood friend just pops up out of nowhere barely a week later like, "Yo, what's up?" Then straight up goes fist to sword with Paladin the very next day and wrecks a few streets.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I want lmfao. I sooo hope there'd be some unique reactions for situations like these eventually where you're able to do stuff SIGNIFICANTLY sooner than you'd normally be able to.

You should be able to visit the airport in the morning and then again in the afternoon to lock in the travel, just like you initially did for getting to Metropolis. Unless it's past d100 then you won't be able to due to obvious reasons.
