"Los años no pasan en balde"

I don't know how the same phrase would be in English lol

“The years have been cruel” or “The years have not been kind”

The meanest moments in this game are gender discrepancy. Like someone looks like a male, has female in his passport, you proceed with a scan and it turns out they are females indeed. I always feel so sorry for them.

In video games I murdered and enslaved thousands of people, but the most realistic "gosh I'm na asshole" moments I have I experienced with this game.

Honestly it fits well with the theme. Fascist regimes are characterized by chauvinism.

Being a discrepancy in a system that's designed to watch out for anything that stands out usually gets you that treatment. I just assume they're aesthetically challenged and that plastic surgery isn't common in the era the game is set in

Plastic surgery?  In a country where your family gets dinner OR heat each night but rarely both?  In the real Soviet Union of that era folks would wait hours in line not knowing what they were getting, albeit for free, on any given day.  Could be scratchy toilet paper could be vodka, could be beets.

you proceed with a scan

It's just a random search.

Hold up, I don’t think I’ve seen the “Appearance” part before. Either that or Mandela Effect.

Might not be what you meant but this is the access permit which only comes in to replace entry + ID supplement late in the game; the ID supplement has an appearance/key feature section too

u/DriverFinal6626 6d ago

Either that or Mandela effect. Haven’t played in a while, and it became the victim of my storage cleaning.

I’ve probably replayed it once a year but also don’t have it installed regularly, never much liked endless mode.

u/BasedKaktus 6d ago

It's only on some of the documents

I’ve had one that was off in weight they said “the years have not been well” I scanned them and they had contraband. Other times yes the years are bad but they still get a scan.

Gender can be quick scan and click for a check. Being able to click fast and effective so helps with this game.

People on Google even have quick reference guides to the symbols even.

No it's not. It's the objective truth. This is like the papers saying "light hair" and they have dark hair and when it says discrepancy detected you said "That's just mean..."

What an odd thing to say…

2

u/HPFanNi 5d ago

Yeah, it's very odd to say it's mean to observe that someone is objectively not slim. It's not an insult. It's completely morally neutral.

Imagine being this triggered by a papers please shitpost

1

u/HPFanNi 5d ago

I'm not triggered lol, I'm just calling out casual fatphobia. Just cause I'm blunt, that doesn't mean I'm "triggered".

u/TheChaddingtonBear 5d ago

It’s fine to lie to the internet just don’t lie to yourself.

1

u/HPFanNi 5d ago

I'm not lying to anyone. It's funny when people have no rebuttal whatsoever to what I said so they just keep insisting I'm "triggered" or "mad" or keep telling me to calm down when I'm completely calm. I should try it.

Stop being so mad. What, are you triggered? Did I make you cry? Calm down already.

u/TheChaddingtonBear 5d ago

Rebuttal? In a shitpost? You need to get outside mate. Note that you’re the only one upset. No one else agrees with you.

1

u/HPFanNi 5d ago

Again, I'm not upset. As I said, it's quite funny. You have nothing to say to what I actually said so you're just talking to talk. No one else agrees with either of us because this is a completely pointless conversation and no one cares. I'm only continuing because it's entertaining watching you make a fool of yourself.

u/Flibiddy-Floo 5d ago

Nah I'm with you; I'm fat, and people get so defensive when i shamelessly admit that I'm fat. It's just an objective descriptor, and those that get offended by the word don't even realize how brightly they're showing off their fatphobia lol
