Cliff: For Cliff, I knew that I wanted his child's name to reflect his own, since he is a character that finds so much joy in being a father. I chose "River" since they are both geographic land features. Image-wise, I see a sturdy cliff watching as the river winds it way through the world.

Huang: I wanted to choose a name that reflected Huang's financial sense. "Yuan" is one of the words used for Chinese currency. My understanding is that "Renminbi" is used more often, but I thought "Yuan" worked better as a name.

I wanna design board games!

I am going to write something about my game design every week to organize my thoughts and keep me motivated!

Someone's already done this but here's Jaguar Guy ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶z̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶"̶h̶o̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶f̶u̶r̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶i̶n̶f̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶u̶h̶"̶

Some online friends of mine have started a side podcast for the videogame forum I frequent. It’s called the Super Nintendo Exploration Squad, and in it we play randomly provided SNES games and evaluate them by the five categories of the week. This week’s categories were: Mystery, Poetry, Grandeur, Gun, and Harmony. This week started innocently (and mildly grumbly) talking about obscure c-rank platformer Prehistorik Man, before inevitably spiraling off into topics of capitalism and the history of game rentals.

Btw, we go by our forum handles, and I’m CourierRice.

Ophelia had/has a dog. She claims she got it just to track people, but she loves it really.

Guy fed/cared for a random stray cat. He'd never admit he cared for it, but he does. He also owned a snake.

Denny probably also has a dog. He got it to look extra intimidating, but its as much of a fluffball as him.

Mitch doesn't seem like the sort of guy to have pets.

Ophelia is obviously very good with technology and hacking, capable of programming AI and hacking into governmental websites from a young age, but she can't cook. At all. Barely even instant ramen. She is good at dance too, though doesn't care to admit it. Also a very good politician. She's big lesbian ofc and doesn't like to use sexuality as a tool, preferring blunt intimidation. She probably has a girlfriend who she's hella soft with.

Guy is good at art. He's also really into freerunning- although Ophelia (and Denny to an extent) do it out of necessity (the cool moves they pull off to fight) Guy takes it to the next level. He is capable of seducing his way out of trouble, or using sexuality to get close to a target, and has done so before although he takes no pleasure out of it. He cooks well and provided meals for his family most nights. Also enjoys dance and has decent hacking skills.

Denny is great with mechanics/engineering. He's the guy who designed the turrents, aircraft and mechs and with Ophelia's help he made the closed circuit alarm systems and the laser things. He's clumsily flirty but useless at picking anybody up tbh. He is actually a fairly decent leader and has good organizational skills- although each bounty hunter runs under their own rule Denny's the guy to go to if you want to pick up or lay down a contract, hit or just find some people to add to your own organisation.
