The voice acting is so good

It's been a while since I played it, but I remember being a bit disappointed when they redid his voice

It annoys me every time I go back that you can’t select the original audio. I get why they changed it but the characters feel all wrong to me whenever I revisit it.

It double annoys me they added a legacy audio mode or whatever they call it and it still isn’t the original audio.

Why did they redo it? I wonder which version I played.

Originally they only had voice acting for a handful of characters and dialogues. A number of Left Twitter micro-celebrities played acting roles including the Chapo boys. After the game was a success, they recorded voices for the entire script, but the original voice acting was replaced in the process.

It was fairly unpolished ngl but also it included a bunch of controversial people including Virgil and (I think?) the Red Scare girls

Matt as the angry union guy and Felix as the “RIGHT TO WORK!” idiot we’re classic though

You could say it was lo-fi socialist junk but I like lo-fi socialist junk

Nonono don't look at the speakers, look at the sneakers!

If you're slightly technical at all and purchased the game on Steam, I believe these instructions still work for restoring the game to its old state before the new voiceovers were added:

Let me know if it still works!

I love listening to our communal large adult son Matt Christman pretend to be tough, but playing the game without Lenval Brown's narration feels so weird now.
