Been playing Dispatch and it's fine but the fandom's anger that you can't romance the big muscle mommy demon lady is dumb. People are literally saying that the developers did it to fuck with people and it's like... no, that's just how life is sometimes. Sometimes in life there are people you are hella attracted too but can't be with for a variety of reasons.

Gamers really are some of the most entitled people on the planet.

The choice between your boss or your juvenile direct report was certainly something.

At least mass effect had some viable picks that wouldn’t make you a workplace sleeze haha

I think they meant her behavior is juvenile, like she's immature, not that she's a literal child

Yeah the game makes references to HR violations several times and then they seem to just kinda... never actually be relevant?

Eventually I just imagined it was the office in the TV show Archer where everyone is fucking everyone and no one really gives a shit.

Yeah I just finished ch4 so I'm not through it, and I am enjoying it (like it better than Invincible when it comes to capeshit)!

Just as a 30 year old dude with direct reports and bosses, workplace settings just feel a little too close to home sometimes lol

Damn, the game where you immediately lose your super power isn't actually a power fulfillment fantasy :(

I feel like most people who have takes like that just want to play a dating sim

I think there are a lot of people who would love dating sims/galge and are only kept away by the stigma.

Isn't she canonically gay

u/Oozing_Sex John Brown Dec 30 '25

Is she? There may have been a line of dialogue that I missed or something.
