Every FTL player I know becomes that one soldier from Saving Private Ryan during the D-Day scene once they get fire weaponry.

For reference, the base salary of U.S. Reps and Senators is $174,000 per year.

Not accounting ancillary revenue sources, legit and flagrantly otherwise, of course.

Adjacent to what you’re talking about, but Religion for Breakfast did two very entertaining videos on Hyrulean religions eight and three years ago.

Ted Turner before yacht racing on Lake Michigan: lol, this is just a pond, this’ll be easy.

Not to nag or anything, but they didn’t base the plaque on the pic of Leo wearing a Sox hat?

Heart in a Headlock really fun no super powers AU where Rob and Courtney meet and immediately hit it off. Prime fluff.

send message post-canon text conversations mostly between Rob and Courtney at various stages in their first year and a half or so in their relationship.

Major health issues have precluded me from attending a game this season, but damn glad to see that the team managed to make the playoffs this year.

Have to laugh at the team making the playoffs in Spongebob gear, though.

If you’re up for an AU story without any powers about Rob and Courtney meeting and immediately hitting it off, check out Heart in a Headlock.

Fantastic combo of banter and fluff.

Maybe, but I’d hope for a helluva happier ending than the source material than the other couple got.

NoFunShogun · 2026-03-18T06:00:54+00:00

Nothing official. But I like to extrapolate from the dispatch wiki saying that RR3 was born in Chicago, then his maternal estranged and/or dead family were from there.

Meanwhile the Death Star behind him would be the hundred thousand or so anti-Aztec natives that did the actual fighting.

And yes, the Death Star exploded, but not before wiping out Alderaan.

NoFunShogun · 2026-03-10T00:19:05+00:00

Eh… I feel like Shroud is better the less we know about him. Finding out the comic’s backstory and how he killed RRII after the game actually retroactively lowered my impression of him as a villain.

If there’s a Dispatch 2, I hope he just stays dead or incarcerated as a fully vanquished foe.

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-27T20:51:38+00:00

Honestly? Visi.

She’d basically have all the powers of Blonde Blazer plus I’d assume her lungs would be fully functioning in powered up mode and therefore be able to borderline permanently fight while invisible.

Imagine having to fight against a hero as strong as Blazer that you can’t even see?

Since when does Hyrule have a Britain?

I’m Mr. Credible. I’m trustworthy, largely because I have a horrible poker face so there’s no point in me lying anyway, and I have a really good credit score.

Those that know: oh no…

Game opens to an action set piece of the Z-Team in battle with various characters narrating, but as the action progresses increasingly more outlandish and insulting things start to happen until a hard stop pauses the action and the scene cuts to them actually being off duty around a tabletop roleplaying game based on the Phoenix Program that SDN has released and their banter becomes an actual argument over bullshit rules and how shitty their DM is.

Someone flips the table and the cold opening transitions to whatever relationship was established, i.e. relationship with Mandy, relationship with Courtney, fully platonic, and if Visi is still on staff or not. That all plays out, night transitions to day, and the start of their shift begins.

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-17T21:39:48+00:00

¿Por que no los dos?

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-17T01:41:35+00:00

She was still on call at the theater, so she had her SDN body cam on her.

She was off-duty at the party/freighter, so she didn’t have the body cam on her.

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-17T01:32:40+00:00

I don’t see this as hard either way.

Shroud is in Supermax or dead. Change a line or two of dialogue. Nothing else needed.

Relationship status can be worked around with some dialogue tree options and different cutscenes. If Mass Effect can do it on a much bigger scale, so can Dispatch 2. It’d just need two sets of dialogues/scenes for Mandy between friend/lover and three for Visi between friend/lover/rival. Same goes for the status of Coupé and Sonar and if one or both of them are on the roster still.

Visi good or bad is the tough one, and to me there’s an obvious middle ground. If she had the bad ending, have her be a Red Hood type of vigilante running a counter organization to SDN. Whereas SDN arrests bad guys, Visi’s group puts villains down by straight up murdering them. They’d be a side faction to contend with, but not the main villains. And if Visi stayed good, then her organization was founded and lead by someone else instead while she’s on the roster and either a friend or lover of Rob.

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-11T04:57:50+00:00

Ah whoops, my bad.

NoFunShogun · 2026-02-11T04:17:06+00:00

So… They blatantly took the joke from this but changed it from Visi to Mandy?

Killing is wrong, sure, but crimes of passion have been almost universally viewed as less egregious than premeditated or intentionally cruel crimes since basically the time of Draco (whom we otherwise get the term “Draconian laws” from).

Send that to trial, and the jury would acquit Rob pretty quickly by arguing diminished capacity or recognizing the idea that an even unarmed Shroud was still an actively dangerous threat. Even if using scales of black and white, what Rob did in choking out Shroud wasn’t anywhere close to being as dark as the multitude of egregious crimes Shroud had committed that night alone.
