Games thread!

Are the Stardew Valley chars not older?

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC the romanceable characters are predominantly ambiguously around 25 or clearly under 25.

There's only 2 out of 10+ that maaaybe could be over 30 but only if you really want them to be.

Certainly nobody 40.

Huh, I guess I know even less about these kinds of games than I thought.

I had assumed that the player character was pretty blank and probably of non-specified adult age.

(Also, excellent image choice. I know it’s so well-known as a painting that some people dismiss it as cliché, but those are genuinely expressive faces and a great composition.)

[iff_and_xor]

I aspire to this. Not so much things I haven’t seen, but certainly the large catalogue of things I’ve seen and enjoyed.

[(Anonymous)]

Assuming this is about significant/romanceable characters and not like 'the Town Mayor' or 'Billy's Mom' or 'Susie's Grandpa' NPC in every game who is like 60 years old... yeah.

[iff_and_xor]

Damn, I’ve really got to try out Disco Elysium.

[(Anonymous)]

It's never outright stated, but most of them assume the MC is late teens to maaaybe 30, like if you are a 40 year old farmer hitting on 20 year old bachelor/ettes or having fresh high school grads be flirting with you and people are remarking about how you're eligible it gets creepy fast and was clearly not intended to be that way.

Most of them also don't let you customize your character to look any old/er than the default young man/young woman avatars.

[(Anonymous)]

Also half of them start with 'your grandparents died and left you a farm' and if you're supposed to be 40+ years old when your grandparents die, either everybody had kids way early or those are some long-lived ass grandparents! There's definitely an age range that is implied.

[(Anonymous)]

Damn. I want this story now. A game where it's implied the MC is at least 35 who left their entire established life and friends and family in the city to move to a small town instead of a 20 year old who left their shitty entry level job.

The pool of romanceable NPCs are the single 30+ adults, some with kids from previous marriages, and the kids even if they are ~technically 18~ are *not* options; you're too old for them. You can totally hit on their dad/mom though. And the childless cat lady town mayor isn't too bad looking...

Question for the comm

[(Anonymous)]

What makes you dislike a fictional character?

[(Anonymous)]

That scene is amongst the best of all time imho. In grief I’d have periods of numbness and watching that really helped me feel something again.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, fandom has felt fractured for many years now. I actually started using DW specifically because I desperately missed the LJ fandom days. So much of fandom has become focused on consuming, and the entire (gestures vaguely) harassing people for "icky" fan content. It's exhausting, and I miss when people could show up into any new fandom and just... have discussions. Make friends quickly and easily. Not burn through interests every few weeks.
