Ok so I need to ask this random question as I'm playing through this for the first time...

Just got through the first "overnight" experience with Martha and the fucking song that plays throughout the whole thing is either A+ level satire or some kind of massive bad translation/drug ignorance. It's called "Put the needle down" or I'm assuming thats the title since they say that a hundred times. The title OBVIOUSLY looks like a giving up heroin story, and the music and arrangement also sounds like it should be a super sad song about either redemption or temptation from said needle...

But no. it's about all the different types of record you can play on a turntable. They're just fucking naming off genres of music and making vague references to how big playing records was for them. Dude it even ends on this part about how you gotta share this music and I swear they started to share this needle.

OK, can't tell if you are a troll or just ignorant. The part of the record player that touches the vinyl is called the needle. The automatic arm puts the needle down on the track to play the record. The needle senses the variations in the track which cause it to vibrate at the right frequencies to reproduce the music that was recorded in the groove.

The (incomplete) lyrics I found on Google are this:

Do you remember when you were young, playing that first LP, remember how you sang along, when you put the needle down?
Now the kids they've got webcams, while they're singing to your song, don't you know they feel as free as when you put that needle down?
But sharing songs is just a start, when the music's in your heart, now you've got to play that jazz, or maybe hip-hop's where it's at, but the song remains the same, when you put that needle down?
If I give to the kids what my eight track gave to me, it won't hurt the man, if I put the needle down?
I hear the ghosts of the blues, kick off the blue suede shoes, we've got nothing to lose, when we put the needle down?
Now the kids they've got webcams, your song's all over Youtube land, how can you not give a damn?

They are obviously talking about analog music players, playing vinyl LPs. It's about a shared experience through music. No drugs involved.

I'm looking for the German translation. It's displayed, but it's grayed out.

It was done by a player, and he stopped doing it. There's no official translation into German.

Schubi and his guy's were doing it , ask in their thread / Schubi und seine Jungs waren dran frag doch mal da nach

so when the song was mentioned, I thought to myself "I remember a song, but didn't pay attention to it, so don't know what the lyrics were" then watched the linked video and was like "okay, now I remember"

but yeah, I was too engrossed in the scene to know what the lyrics to the song were

That's one of the reasons why I stopped using songs with lyrics. You can read the dialogue or listen to the lyrics, but not both or you get distracted.
Better to use instrumental music.

There is a saying: "When you hear hooves, you don't think of Zebras", unless you are a Zebra farmer...

The issue here is related to the Listener experience. My wife, listening to this, being a Nurse, would interpret Needles in a whole different context. I, being raised with turntables and vinyl records, had to replace a stupid amount of needles through the years, had to clean them, adjust them, even had to put coins on the head of the arm... so, putting the needle down, is never anything else but the careful lowering of the arm on the correct place to listen to my music.

Your interpretation, well, it says more about your experiences than what you probably wanted to advertise. Your Zebra farming is your issue.

Because everyone else, when they heard the hooves, they thought of Horses.

Funny how things sometimes say more than we want to.

Peace

I appreciate you trying to be as politely patronizing as possible, but without giving away my age I can promise you I'm well aware of how record players worked.

My post was obviously a little tongue-in-cheek, but it seemed to me the song may have been doing a bit of the same thing. So, in case you weren't actually aware, the phrase "put the needle down" is a very common expression for someone trying to give up a heroin addiction. It seemed like they may have been intentionally misleading with the title and that the song was a double-entendre. Either way it's just a funny song to me, especially for where it was put in the game, so I wanted to know if maybe there was more to it.

Just wondering, I know that S2 and onwards has a built in gallery and that S1 previously didn't. Has S1 been updated with a replay gallery, is that something planned or not?

Season 1 will have a gallery when released on Steam.

Well, that might be but for one instance the "put the needle down" as refering to quit Opiate addiction is a term or a saying used in a English spoken country, thank you for the heads up, a lot of us here in the thread, not being from an anglo - american culture won't even notice the subtle implication.
and would asociate, with turntables and vinyl discs.

I've used up all of my brain power today, and I don't recall if I've ever played this or not. Am I correct in my thinking that I need to download Season 1, Season 2, and the in progress Season 3 all separately as of right now? If I haven't played before should I just wait for the Steam release?

Yes you have to start with Season 1 (It is worth playing you'll love it) it's not one you forget after a little while so I'm guessing you haven't played yet Give it a try

Be sure to save in each when it prompts you to!

* There was ONE untranslated dialogue line (out of 21,938), so it wasn't "completely in English".

You're slipping Trope. Tsk. Put on the hat and sit in the corner to think about what you've done now.

You are correct.
You could wait for the Steam release but that would still just be season 1 for now though it will be reworked in the framework of season 2 and up. What this means is that the walkthrough & incest mods are already integrated and to unlock the incest/clone selection in the settings you just need to place a text file in the game folder. You could for now get the same result by just installing the multi-mod in the current season 1. The story itself is not changed in any way.

It does makes me wonder what Trope intends to do with the Steam release though; will season 2 and up be DLC or seperate games?
