Has anyone made a backrooms thing inspired by the dc metro. Imagine the dc metro but fucked up and endless and winding and incorrect. Like that specific look. Imagine like infinite tunnels where the maps just fucking lie and are different at each station.

How does the backrooms handle public transportation

I'm excited for Raiders but am honestly really tired of yet another silent, blank slate, self-insert protagonist for Splatoon and think the devs oughta retire the formula. Splatoon 3's Story Mode really highlighted the limitations of it, because how do you have a protagonist who befriends a Salmonid (a supposed enemy from the previous game) and works together with it to take down the villain CEO who's been hiring and ordering teens like the protag to kill and steal from the Salmonid race... and then not use ANY of that for the actual narrative. No connection between Smallfry and Grizz, no stakes for why Smallfry is here to help, no motivation for Neo Agent 3, no acknowledgement from Grizz that the weakest form of the species he's been exploiting is the one that defeated him. Protagonists like Neo Agent 3 end up becoming total wastes of narrative potential because they're dropped in the middle of an interesting, long-developed world/conflict/cast of characters, yet they have nothing to say about any of it, so the story ends up feeling stunted and juvenile.

This isn't a "silent protagonists are bad for game stories" take either. Characters like Chell and Gordon work because they have special traits/tools/backgrounds that justify their place as a protagonist. Only Chell could have escaped Aperture with her abnormally high tenacity. Only Gordon could have led the resistance as the hero who survived Black Mesa. It doesn't matter who Neo Agent 3 is (you literally make them in a character creator), so they as a character are unimportant to the plot. And giving them a side-kick who is inextricably tied to the game's lore/conflicts, yet serves no narrative purpose other than a cheap "poetic justice moment" in the climax, only highlights the lack of interest in the writing. This is also why I feel Splatoon 2's Agent 4 was pretty much forgotten (basically the same person as Agent 3) while Agent 8 is so beloved (has an actual explanation for being blank-slate due to memory loss, benefits from the inherited, assumed backstory of being an Octoling child soldier stuck underground, thus giving them an emotional, motivated journey and arc of escaping to the surface and finding freedom for themselves).

All this to say, I like Mechanic, I've been enjoying the little comic strips, but I'm tired of yet another "they're whoever you want them to be!" protag for Splatoon. With how much the world has expanded, we need someone who's someone at this point.

God, Splatoon Raiders' gameplay and stuff with Deep Cut better be good because genuinely, what were the devs thinking with "the japanese-inspired city is bankrupt so you (the player) have to bring back money by invading tropical islands and plundering/"splatting" the indigenous populations of their golden artifacts. an indigenous population that is directly inspired by Pacific Northwest tribes. you're the good guy btw. also a central gameplay loop is irreversibly damaging the artifacts you steal for weapon upgrades."

I hope there's a twist in the story, but the bar is honestly in hell for Nintendo when it comes to complex writing. I can't expect them to have anything to say about the unmistakably imperialist plot of this game.

remember "save our salmons". remember when little buddy was revealed and everyone thought there'd be salmonid reparations in 3. remember how there was still potential for it since the head of business dedicated to propagandizing, displacing, invading, mass-exterminating, and stealing their fertile eggs was found out and banished into space

[all-consuming-rot]

don't get me wrong i love salmon run and it's always been my favorite game mode by far, the salmonid culture is very intriguing and i enjoy observing their music and architecture and ways of life. i do wish it was being tackled differently, it's been long enough that a new angle would be nice. it doesn't feel good to be playing british museum simulator with their keepsakes, and crafting gear from dumped plastic garbage that ends up a burden on their shores. please tell me there's some kind of plot twist and the way social media posts about salmonids being nuisance pests is a ruse PLEASE let deepcut realize they're doing some fucked up shit
