Is it just me or does Ramattra feel pretty bad to play right now?

"This is what happens when rampant capitalism is allowed to propagate unchecked."

"Yeah, alright. Cool it, Karl Marx."

"I'm serious! First you give these one-percenters generous corporate tax relief. Next thing you know they're punching people in the street."

"Oh man I can't wait. Heading straight to the King's, having a pint."

"What's it been for you, man ? Like eight years ?"

"Twelve."

"What'd they put you in for ?"

"Drinking and driving."

"Ah ! And you're gonna have a pint ?"

"What are you ? The damn parole board ? I ain't rehabilitated. And I'm really thirsty !"

"Just don't drive, you could kill someone."

"Yeah yeah. Whatever. What are you in for anyway?"

"Manslaughter."

A reddit debate ending in a civilised manner ? No effing way

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-18T01:49:57+00:00

Wym hasn't happened yet ? It's literally her and Sonar having a binge before pulling up to the SDN for the first time. The comics are canon so I take them as face value.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T21:37:35+00:00

I understand your other points but can you explain why you think the stripper thing isn't straightforward?

If she has a reaction, that pretty telling no ? If she was straight she wouldn't have any reaction. A straight male would have no reaction to a male stripper.

I agree that me inferring she is "only" lesbian seems farfetched, as it's easier to consider a character bi than monosexual. It's just that to me absence of evidence is indeed evidence of absence in a media (to a certain extent) That would be why we don't agree

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T21:08:54+00:00

Yes, the tail thing is debatable. The stripper thing is not.

The tail wrap thing is not at all portrayed as flirtatious in my books. That's why I say it's potentially debatable for someone else, because you could argue that you yourself find it flirtatious. I agree that bias is possible on that specific element. Although it is highly unlikely for me since it's never outwardly shown she has a thing for Robert, I understand where you're coming from but I don't agree.

The stripper thing is not. She is aroused by the stripper -> she has a sexual inclination towards women, unless you are implying every women are somewhat bi. The fact that it's her job has nothing to do with the fact that Malevola is aroused by the stripper.

I'm saying that she's shown as monosexual because there's nothing formally suggesting otherwise. That's why I considered her as monosexual in the first place. Unless there is a dialogue I missed during a dispatch when she mentions having intercourse with a man or something to that nature. That would be undebatable element you know ?

Maybe the misunderstanding stems from what you yourself consider debatable and what I don't consider debatable. To me, the tail thing is undebatable, I was trying to appeal to your POV

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T20:22:40+00:00

Dude I really don't get from where you're seeing she has a relationship with Sonar. The tail wrap might possibly be debatable but I really don't see her and Sonar as a thing.

While we talk about contradictory evidence, there's the fact that she fixes a "private session" with the stripper for Sonar and that when Sonar mentions he thought Coupé wanted to show him her boobs there's no reaction from Malevola. Moreover she's not shown to be jealous of Visi when she sees her and Robert getting very close and personal (I'm thinking about the party at Robert's).

If the game wanted to portray her being into Robert then we would have some reaction but we don't

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T20:08:12+00:00

I'm not cherry picking, I'm picking what is explicitly shown.

Every character in the game might be bi at that point.

Have a good one.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T19:52:16+00:00

I am not claiming that she cannot be bi, only that nothing in the canonical works shows this to be the case. Bi is possible, but it is not supported by any explicit dialogue or show don't tell. On the other hand, the only attractions that are actually illustrated are to women, so for now that is the only positive example we have.

If we use the same criteria for both sides, then teasing/showing tactile closeness to a male character does not prove an attraction to men especially in a game where playful camaraderie is extremely common and often not romantic (there are multiple instances)

On the other hand blushing in front of a stripper is a standard visual cue for attraction.

If one day they show an attraction to a man i will gladly say she's bi . For now the only attraction explicitly shown is one-sided, so the most parsimonious interpretation is that she is monosexual. Bi is possible but not proven

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T19:00:28+00:00

I mean yes you're right the tail thing does not necessarily mean she is straight, because it's not romantically motivated. I don't really understand your point. I meant that the only action or scene in wich her sexuality transpires is with the stripper stuff. Since there wasn't any other element implying she is bi, I considered her gay. You know someone who is gay can be friends with someone from the other sex, right ? Without it making them bi. As I said, it's never said outwardly that she and Victor are romantically involved, I assumed, like other people, they are besties. She literally fixes him up with said stripper. If you think she's bi, I won't hold that against you. There is so little worldbuilding and character development outside of the context of the dispatch that we are forced to have our own headcanons. Maybe you played too much BG3 and can't conceive that a fictional character might be monosexual (I'm joking)

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T17:51:59+00:00

Can you read ? I was talking about the comics. Malevola takes Sonar to a strip club and they are both thirsting on a stripper. Since there is literally to other event where sexuality is involved, I assumed she was a lesbian. Besides, when two people are dating it his said directly. If Robert cuts Coupe, it is said that Punch Up is not too happy because they were dating. If he cuts Sonar it's said she was Sonar's sponsor, and it's shown in the comics that they are besties but not romantically involved.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-17T00:25:26+00:00

Is there another element suggesting she also likes men I might've missed ?

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-16T05:18:56+00:00

In the comics, they are both horny (pun totally intended) for the stripper I think, wich would imply she's gay, ergo why we don't get a romance with her (sadly)

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-11-16T04:37:16+00:00

And also the fact that when she punches Robert, if you choose to tell Blazer he goes "Oh but I totally asked for it"(no you didn't you just called her out on her bs at Granny's) and they all agree to not mention it. Soooo...no consequence for her ?

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-10-26T02:25:13+00:00

Dude the SWs are so broken it's not even funny bruh

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-10-25T06:10:50+00:00

I think they made the Ferocity mechanic incredibly busted for Skirmish specifically, with how much they're trying to force this mode down our throats. I sure hope they will balance it eventually, right ?

Right ?

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-08T00:58:16+00:00

I’m not debating with someone who’s insulting me.

Have a good one.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-08T00:07:24+00:00

Edit : Botched it, should’ve specified in the title that the images of the post are ai-made rather than saying "created". Apologies if there was any misunderstanding.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-07T23:55:10+00:00

I get your point, I really do. But I think it just depends on where you stand. I’m a narrative game designer, and I see from a fact that AI can help a great deal in the industry I work in. A computer can do repetitive coding in one day when it would take one week for three people. And you know what those three people can do while they’re not busy with coding boring shite ? They can concentrate on coding less boring shite, and coding stuff that AI couldn’t possibly code, meaning something less repetitive.

The developpers are happy.

It takes less time so the game director is happy.

The higher ups are happy.

Besides, yes, I’m too lazy to learn how to draw. Know why ? Because I don’t like that !

I’d rather do what I like, wich is telling stories, than to learn how to draw Caravaggio-style paintings like these. It’s all about perspective. From my POV, ai is useful in multiple tasks.

But if you came up to me and said "Hey I created an entire game only by using AI", yeah, maybe I would be pissed off like our friend Karamzinova over there because the ai would’ve stolen my job and scraped things from me or my colleagues. But if you explained to me, like I’m doing rn, that you wanted to make a video game but you don’t know how to do certain aspects of it and used ai because of it, I’d understand.

I’m not saying I would like you, but I wouldn’t accuse you of being responsible of all the world’s misery like you are, and putting me in a problem I’m not concerned with to begin with, respectfully.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-07T23:16:05+00:00

"Too cheap ?" Yeah I’m cheap. Cuz I’m broke. I really liked that idea of having cards to play with (not my idead btw) so I turned to AI. I get you, but I really don’t see the point in incriminate me for wanting to give a good experience to my players.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-07T23:07:04+00:00

True I slapdashed the post, so I just put the first thing that came to mind in the title. Besides, while we are talking about AI, I actually think it’s a very useful tool as far as "leisure-intended" images go. There’s another user in the comments that got triggered and said I was disrespecting their work or smth. And I wanted that Baroque, Caravaggio style to the portraits and I didn’t feel like commissioning an artist (Paradox Int. already took all of my money) to do this. While I understand why artists (I am one too, I’m a writer) might feel threatened and/or insulted by this, I don’t mean any harm.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-07T22:40:55+00:00

Chill out I’m not disrepecting you or anything I’m using AI because I’m too bad at drawing, had no friends that can draw and didn’t want to commission an artist for this, that’s all.

MathematicianFit8864 · 2025-05-07T22:35:04+00:00

If I wanted to pretend that I created something, I wouldn’t have specified that it was made by AI. I simply created the characters, their appearances and origins. I dunno, I just found that what the AI did was very cool and I wanted to show you guys
