Just some additional context, Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for the same god, worshipped in England prior to the arrival of Christianity. Not too different from how the Roman version of Zeus is Jupiter.
The English word “Wednesday” also etymologically derives from “Woden’s Day,” like how Thursday is also “Thor’s Day”
There’s an unfortunate dilemma there. When someone makes a Darth Vader or Joker character, many people like them, but some like them without a trace of irony, and genuinely feel that the Empire should kill those horrible rebels and that chaos should reign in Gotham. And that gestures America.
Palutena from Kid Icarus Uprising, especially because the internet loves her and Pit’s antics, when I remember most of it was mocking him and gaslighting. I dunno, I like a lot of other bickering duos in games, but she just reminded me too much of grating people in my life. Pit is fine with it, but I somehow doubt asking her to be nicer would help if I was in his position.
In a similiar vein, in Coffin of Andy and Leyley (after overwhelmingly positive reviews baited me into thinking it’s deeper than edgy jokes) I wanted Leyley to just die after an hour or few, but the difference is, she’s flat out evil, and comically so. Palutena is just the realistic, toxic family member, with the excuse being that gods are assholes I guess.
(I didn’t mind Pit and Viridi bickering though, probably because she was an antagonist and Pit/the game doesn’t praise her as much)
I finally got started on Disco Elysium. When I was playing Planescape Torment, I thought the game would have been better if it got rid of combat altogether and just be dialogue. And what do you know! Seems like that’s exactly what DE is. Awesome.
Same for me! I just unlocked the cargo dispatcher and the tier 2 building mats to build them, so I wiped my entire spaghetti factory and I'm rebuilding in a nice bus layout, transporting in the remote ores using the dispatchers.
I like that there's more combat in the game. I was a tad disappointed that, when I entered a cave for the first time carrying a lot of guns and ammo, I only found some plants and crystals. I was prepping for a big fight with bugs hiding from the rupture! 😄
Playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater for the ps1 for the first time since I was a kid. All I can say is I must not have been good at it, this game has a surprisingly high difficulty curve if you want to get all of the points needed for the tapes.
The big advantage of the robot over human pals is that you can send items directly to your ship. In coop you need to carry it. The biggest downside is that it uses soooo much ammo when acting as a ship gunner. I'm flying the small ship and put on the lance railgun. The long reload time ensures that the bot can't waste all my ammo.
I’ve done a few solo+robo runs with the small ship and it’s a great time. It’s a bit less chaotic because there are some ship effects (like fires and radiation leaks) that don’t get enabled until you have at least 3 players. I’m excited to see how the game develops over the next few months.
Reaver gets my vote as well. He’s actually worse in Fable 2.
SpoilersHe will kill-steal the final boss, the man who murdered your sister (a young child) and who you’ve been hunting for the entire game spanning decades, if you don’t interrupt his monologue first. He does this because he finds him annoying, not because he has any real beef with him. There’s also a quest when you first try to get his help where he “tricks” you (it’s very obvious, but writer fiat strikes again) into sacrificing your youth to uphold his deal for immortality with some evil fae-like beings (beings who seem to be connected to Jack of Blades, the first game’s villain). He then betrays you to the final boss, apparently just because he’s an asshole. Oh, and he also kills a fan-favorite side character, one of the few people to show you and your sister kindness when you were destitute orphans living on the streets, because Reaver was annoyed that a photograph taken of himself needed to be developed before he could see it.
It’s beyond enraging that you can never get back at him for any of these things. He’s still around generations later in Fable 3, where he’s a wealthy industrialist exploiting orphans. Of course.
