It's rare, but yeah, some folks get offended by they/them. Mix of folks that are real attached to he/she (usually some variety of anti-lgbtetc bigot, that) and ones that have a specific preferred (often-if-not-always non-standard, not he/she or they, from what I've noticed) set and dislike it when it's not used.

The latter, at least, will probably be chill with initial mistakes so long as they don't keep happening, or at least are apologized for and an attempt is made. The former are almost always some form of raging jackass, so they're probably not going to be chill. Not much you can do to avoid offending those sorts if you're not also a sack of shit in human form, tho', so, y'know. Probably don't worry much about 'em.

"But wierd," says the Capitalist, "how am I supposed to afford my mega yacht, a yacht so big it doubles as a floating pier for my smaller yachts, if I can't extort the working class for every penny in their pocket and every pained drop of sweat from their brow? Surely God intended for me to have my mega yacht, and therefore I'm entitled to exploit to my heart's content, surely."

"How are you still talking, Capitalist," wierd mutters bemusedly, working to dismantle a mega yacht into smaller, less wasteful ships, "after being cooked and eaten? This is the most vocal indigestion I've ever had!"

There is an end-game victory condition type thing (maybe more than one?), yes. Dunno if it actually punts you to a victory screen, your-save-is-done-go-away, make new game to start playing again thing, tho'.

Eh, eighty five days is a decent buffer? Might be survivable. If it's not, puppy+something else (maybe even a bunch of outers with bows... especially hunting bows, in my experience) can probably kill it.

In any case, if it gets close and you don't think it'll work out, either banish them* or tell them to go to a distant corner of the map when the tribulation's about to happen (one time I've actually had a yaoguai tribulation happen so far, I assigned them a cushion far away from everything else when it about started), if you're looking to harvest some demon fur and beast blood.

But yeah, if you don't pop the thing off in the middle of your buildings there probably won't be much collateral damage.

e:*I think you can assign them to assist at an agency, too, if you haven't promoted them? Maybe not as the primary agent, but the helpers might work.

I've seen chatter from some, and yeah, they were fucking exhausted about six months ago. Shit only sorta' let up after the initial surge, many of them haven't really had much of a break this entire goddamn time.

Lot are hanging in there, but I can just about guarantee you when the plague actually lets up you're going to see massive expression of burnout; people fleeing the professions involved, spikes in suicide rates (iirc already showing ), and so on. It's already ugly as hell, and relief ain't for a long time yet.

I read a book (America's Original Sin) that has some interesting points about about how one of the problems with modern police culture is that somewhere in history, and especially American history, the modus operandi of police changed from guardians to warriors.

We could go a long way to improving law enforcement by moving back to a guardian sensibility rather than a warrior sensibility. You can even keep them armed - having armed guardians is notably different than armed warriors.  It's all about the mindset and approach.

I mean, stateside the whole shit and caboodle originated with goddamn slave hunters. There's no "guardian" to go back to, the institution's roots are possibly even worse than its present, or at least terrible in different ways.

I'm not experienced at all, even with my steam thing clocking 120 hours; I still haven't gotten anyone to primordial spirit

Most I got is tooling around the early to mid game for, uh. A lot, at this point. Plus having some the discord guides bookmarked, heh. But there's apparently tons I just haven't touched on, yet.
