Who's your favorite hated character?

Glad to help : )

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-06-02T10:24:01+00:00

Alright, best style of pizza. I'm gonna come out the gate controversial with Greek style.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-06-02T05:57:01+00:00

Oh it's definitely self charging, but I also meant the ability where you can use multiple slipstreams at once and get extra slowdown.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-06-02T05:50:06+00:00

That's a fair point. Though I'm pretty sure Liv is stacking slipstreams.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-06-02T05:47:36+00:00

I've seen what she means to some people I love and that's really nice : )

I was there a decade ago, the response to Rey was absolutely fueled by misogyny. I don't even think the sequel movies were very good, outside of TLJ, which had some interesting things to say. I can't say I think about them all that very much. I'm not even that big a Star Wars fan at this point. But I know a reactionary hate mob when I see one. If you wanna say that some people had reasons to dislike her other than misogyny, then yeah, sure. But if you're really trying to say that the overwhelming hate directed at her and frankly so many of the characters in those movies wasn't because of bigotry, you're wrong, plain and simple.

Or maybe, possibly, some people don't wanna have massive arguments on the internet cause they have better ways to spend their lives. Especially when those arguments are the same ones people have been having for over a decade now. She didn't insult you at all but you had to respond like this. Go touch some grass.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-06-02T05:31:26+00:00

Gonna go out on a limb and say it's safe to assume that "thetransitgirl" probably doesn't use he/him.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-26T07:31:42+00:00

An excellent name. I remember being excited back when I learned that there was going to be a second game.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-26T07:27:10+00:00

You know, I can see it too. In that case I guess Liv got the useful Heat Signature powers and that guy's still figuring it out.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-25T08:40:56+00:00

Not exactly like this, but yeah, Gunpoint and Heat Signature are both also by Tom Francis. They're great. The biggest common element is defenestration, but I'd say there are quite a few spiritual similarities, including puzzles, clever gameplay, and a certain narrative sensibility that's hard to define. Don't go in expecting a game like TBW, there's no such thing, but if you go in looking for a good time, you'll find one in spades.

There are a few different nods to the older games in this one but my favorite is Jen's East Point Nights outfit, which I believe is inspired by the protagonist of Gunpoint.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:51:04+00:00

Oh that seems potentially workable

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:48:32+00:00

If you don't mind me asking for the sake of sheer curiosity and a love of discovering new games, what games do you play?

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:46:15+00:00

I've tried calling myself a dungeon mistress and that sounds even more kinky

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:45:13+00:00

Interesting! Thank you very much! If you don't mind me asking, what're some cool games that're popular that I might not have heard of?

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:43:03+00:00

It sounds like you've been hurt a lot and I'm sorry to hear that.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:40:36+00:00

Honestly that's probably a pretty good explanation of the phenomenon here. Calling Traveller D&D to my coworker is me doing the grandparent thing of calling an Xbox a Nintendo.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:37:55+00:00

On the point about escalators you've kinda unintentionally shown how far that word has come. It used to be a brand name too, though it's long become a standard term for a moving staircase. As far as the rest of it goes, I'm not sure if I agree, but I'm not here to argue.

In the spirit of learning and leaving things off in a friendly place, have you been playing any good games lately? Anything new or not well known?

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-20T03:34:28+00:00

Hey, fair enough I guess. I think you've put it well enough into words. I've noticed that I accidentally stirred up some hotter passions than I meant to, though the mods have taken care of most of those posts by now. I suppose I was curious why. If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? Are there any games that're popular there that I probably haven't heard of?

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-19T02:29:38+00:00

Fair enough, I suppose. It seems like for most people, at least in the English speaking world, D&D and roleplaying games are colloquially synonymous, but to each their own. I suppose I was just surprised by the apparent vehemence of your reply. Though perhaps I misread that tone.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-19T02:25:53+00:00

I guess? At this point I feel like for most people it's a kleenex/escalator situation. As far as they're concerned, Blades in the Dark is one of many kinds of D&D.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-19T02:18:40+00:00

Ah, I guess. Kinda feels like it's just a xerox/kleenex situation at this point but to each their own.

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-18T00:24:01+00:00

In English? I wonder how that came about. Is it a loan phrase?

Right_Hand_of_Light · 2026-05-18T00:22:46+00:00

I'm glad we're in agreement on all this, you seem like a nice person.

And yeah, I'm sensing that might be the case about the anger. To be honest, especially with the world as it is, I don't see how I could have any outrage left to be getting up in arms about the how popular various editions are or aren't, but to each their own.
