Overview:
This is a perk pack inspired by Disco Elysium, and it's thought cabinet in particular.
If you like RPGs and haven't played Disco Elysium yet, you should. It's one of the best games ever made, and it's such a breath of fresh air with the state of the video game industry right now.

Features:
If you're not familiar with Disco Elysium and it's thought cabinet, here's an overview:
[spoiler]
In DE, by coming across a certain item, saying enough dialog options of a particular flavor, or learning about a revelatory new piece of information, the player is presented with the option to "internalize" a thought, which grants stat changes during the period of time when it is internalizing. Some of these stat changes are buffs, some are debuffs. To completely internalize a skill, you must select it for inclusion in your "thought cabinet", which has limited slots, then gain enough xp while the thought is active to complete it's internalization. Upon doing so, the player is presented with the "answer" to the thought, which generally provides a substantial benefit or buff of some kind. Some of these thoughts have conclusions, which function the same way, providing another function once the player has hit an additional xp threshold after the thought is internalized.
[/spoiler]
The thought cabinet vernacular is a little different than traditional perk text; It consists of some flavor text, followed by a couple lines detailing each effect and making a comment about them one way or another. That format will be maintained here, as I feel it's a great place for writing and tone to shine.

Many perks available will *debuff* you for a period of time, until you can choose to internalize a thought's "answer" or discard the perk entirely.

None of the political thoughts will be included here, and any discussion of politics in the posts will be promptly removed. I don't want this to be the place for that, and I don't want to moderate discussions on that topic. This extends to economic topics as well.

Perks:
Unlike my other perk mods, there are actually some custom icons in here! Credit to ItsMeJesusHChrist of Consistent Pip Boy Icons for the excellent upscaled source icons that I used in composing the new ones. New perk icons are 512 x 512. They look a little different than the other ones, cause I can't figure out how to get the icon into the alpha channel or whatever I'm supposed to do.
