As a straight dude who tries to be woke I feel that making companions always thirsty for the player character regardless of gender is reductive to the human experience, but also representation is important, so I don’t know

I'm 185 hours into Kingmaker rn and there are supposedly several romance options available. To the game's credit, I don't know if it's because my PC is a woman, if it's because she's a semi-evil inquisitor, or if I'm just not being a creep to them but basically nobody has started a romance with me. There are two characters who are in some nebulous relationship and they've both flirted with me but it doesn't go anywhere to worry about. Valerie is this tower-shield carrying tank warrior who loving hates it when people make a big deal about her beauty. There have been uncomfortable dialogue options before to be like "hurr hurr but did u know actually u r SO PRETTY" and poo poo like that, but it always came after these convos about how disrespected she felt because that's all people ever focused on. Her whole character and arc basically revolves around this, and yet, it seems that was their idea of how to start the romance. I never picked any of that poo poo to say, so there's no relationship triggered there either.

There is an evil tiefling who offers to have sex with your PC pretty casually, but I have since learned ever doing that locks you out of a relationship with her/her. I ain't buggin', I didn't know the game had relationships at all until seeing it in some comment chain. Plus, realistically seems like the Queen would be too busy for a relationship anyway.

In the Varnhold DLC, there wasn't time for any romance options, but you there is a quest dude you talk to and if you're the type of person to exhaust dialogue options with an NPC, one of them takes you straight to some fade-to-black property-damaging gay sex. Some pretty casual progressive action for russian devs!

Romances are good when its just you and your pal on a big adventure and you go through all sorts of wacky situations. It's bad when you have a whole party of elf maidens to choose who you like most.

What would a game that even adapted the entire bible be like? Some of it seems straightforward, bible starts off with some SimEarth poo poo, got Animal Crossing Eden for a little while, there are some clear third person action segments, some areas with light puzzle solving, walking simulator sections, zoo tycoon for that ark saga, Saul's chock full of cool demon summoning and magic and other DnD stuff, Age of Mythology/Empires here and there, some room for Ultima RPG action... but there's also a ton of poo poo in the Bible that would be much harder to include.

A lot of bible books about just rules for old times jewish people, lists of dead people, creepy incest, people trying to spoil and leak future books' events, god delivering on vague threats to his own chosen people, and people talking about how hard it was to build this or that, or how pissed god was that they built/did that or this. There's a couple books that are just horny notes this dude wrote for someone he was crushing on. There's another story I remember where God is really pissed about cum and people putting cum on the ground and demanding they put cum in their dead brothers wife or whatever. Other stuff seems clear it could work in a videogame, but then it's unclear what your actual role would be mechanically.

God sending bears to attack and kill a bunch of petulant children is something we can all see in a videogame in our minds, but are we the bears? Are we the kid, the old man, God zirself?!

The Gospels would be interesting since a lot of it is just reposts with one version being written by some rear end in a top hat who's OC self-insert essentially replaces Jesus and rewrites and co-opts the entire religion for the rest of history lol.

An actual, start-to-finish Bible game would be an incredible project, you'd have to be making like 100 different games into one.

I was wondering where the freeze blast upgrade in Arkham Knight was and why I couldn't find it until I looked it up and it was just sitting there on a table in an area that you pass by and nothing ever really points it out unless you just happen to use Detective Mode. I'm pretty much at the endgame now, just doing all the Riddler stuff so I can have that smug gently caress thrown into the lockup before moving on.

it's more like.. there was a time in the 80s-90s when story ideas for cartoons, especially ones with magic/fantasy, were extremely overused, and often involved transformation or hypnosis or some other thing

and they weren't done because the writers had a boner for it but because it was a simple scenario to write up. if someone shrinks you can have a bunch of wacky scenarios with giant ant monsters or whatever. but more importantly, it means that they wouldn't have to write a story that comes organically out of the character relationships, because the shows they worked on didn't have strong characterization but either broad archetypes or just toyetic characters

but then a kid watches these episodes at a very specific point in their life, and then 10 years later, it's their kink

i have been watching the marvel spider-woman cartoon from 1979 and it's buckwild. in the first episode, a purple pyramid rises out of the sand in egypt, and it's actually a spaceship piloted by an ancient alien mummy, and he goes around zapping people and turning them into mummies. he clips spiderman and spiderman is like "oh no i'm slowly turning into a mummy". it's loving stupid in an amazing way and i bet someone out there is intensely into people mummification as a result

i mean i do not think that someone gets a fetish for someone being inflated/turned into a beach ball* innately from birth, i think they see a looney tune where wile e coyote gets flattened and then he plugs his mouth and inflates his body up, and their mind says "let me catalog this for later when i become horny"

* i am referring to ian sampson, a fetish artist and brief "webcomic for all-ages" cartoonist that got dunked on in the webcomics thread years ago
