I am one of those weirdos, I guess. 3 has better tone and also I get to go John Brown on slavers

The Bistromath from hitchhikers guide, best ship ever.

I would name mine something shitposty like Sink’r’Swim

Shining Force! A TTRPG from 1992. The music and character design are really about a decade ahead of everything else that was available then. If you level one of your characters up to lv 10, you can “evolve” them into a different sprite that lets them wield better gear. This was my comfort game growing up, and was remastered for GBA in 2004. If you like it, don’t play the prequel, only the sequel.

I’ve always argued that it also depended on your economic upbringing. I’m right on the cusp of millennial, but my parents couldn’t afford internet until my junior year of high school. Yeah, the internet existed but it might as well not have, outside of someone bringing halo to school on a usb I missed most of it.

My mother always said that if people bled from their eyes or had massive losses of weight it might work. Might.

I kind of see what she means, but I think they’d kill us all for the economy rather than shut down again.

I NOMINATE THE GRINCH!

For getting an emoji.

Set sexuality is my initial preference. Games that handle this topic like Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t really have a lot to say about specific sexualities queer experiences, because they don’t want to alienate/make the player feel left out. One of the tweets mentions dragon age which is where I felt seen and heard for the first time. Another comment mentions it but in a game with well defined characters who have queer identities I can understand and want there to be restrictions. To say otherwise would be inauthentic to the story you’re trying to tell.

Minor spoilers ahead:

It’s not actually the scrap that’s valuable to them. Through logs in game you find out it’s actually your collective suffering, which is used to placate the entity and the monsters on nearby moons.

James buchanan is up there too

Cannot wait to crack open the Rich People Loot Piñata’s when the Water Wars start

I don’t know about “favorite” but I think a lot about when I first saw Ragtime at a local summer playhouse: https://youtu.be/aCxbEm_CTfY?feature=shared

It was one of the first positive depictions of workers rights I’d ever seen, and as an added bonus pointed me towards communism. I later attended college for a BFA in musical theatre but I found myself ever more drawn to plays bc capitalism has sterilized most of the messages I want to be heard in modern musical theatre. I would love a comm! I’ll be the Adjunct Professor of Musical Comedy.
