#DC Universe Online

[static-martini]

not sure if anyone plays DCU Online but it's time for the annual Halloween Event! (which means more Teekls for my base >:) the army rises)

these are Batwoman's various dialogues about Klarion. it's always fun to see people's reactions to my favs! Even Calculator says Klarion and Teekl could have a spot in the Secret Society!! as long as Cheetah is willing to share her litterbox (he's such a jerk, it's amazing)

she also says this about the people who give you the missions

(Phantom Stranger for heroes, Tala for villains)

i have to appreciate the audacity of Batman Inc. members, because what is Batwoman going to do if the agent to the Lords of Order and the Mistress of Hell mess up their mission 😭

so I know in the game DCUO when the Joker is the mentor he treats the player like his own kid I can put some quotes that does fit at least

"You know you're like the webbed toed mutant child I've ever had. Keep it up Junior I may even leave you the family fortune." "Oh I love the way you make everyone cower in terror neat trick.Keep practicing." "Kiddo you're doing swell,Keep this up and Batman will forget all about me can't have that now can we." "My dear budding Psychopath congratulations you've taken your first steps on the road to be public danger number one." "I have news for you and no it's no joke, The sociopath,psychotics, and greedy little masterminds of the society have made you an official member, congratulations. I think." "Aren't you the devious little psychopath, springing Freeze's men,Beating on cops,after that little act Mr.Freeze must think your his new best friend, I have Calculator arrange a meeting for you with one of Freeze's men nearby play along until he lets you in the hospital then we'll show him what friends are really for." (Here's some redirect ones) "Hey Sparky look at your map you're in the wrong place." "Ok we're done here nothing to see keep moving look at your map, Now there's a good Psychopath."

I accidentally wrote a post into Discord (i.e. rambled long enough that it turned into one), so I'll put it here too:

It's funny how most of the time everything in Spider-Man is blandly inoffensive to pretty decent, but when it escapes that range it's Not Good

The writing is usually pretty alright, nothing amazing but the characters are handled reasonably well and the plot moves things along

And then they briefly forget how real actual humans work

And do something that makes the standard making-fun-of-the-MCU's-dialog lines like "so that just happened" look good

Also people do literally say the lines people make fun of the writing in the MCU for word for word with no self awareness

I've also managed to glitch it into a state more than once where some map markers just don't show up on the map, or the map is fine but the object or trigger fails to load when you get where it's supposed to be

Quitting out of the game entirely and reloading it fixes everything, but it's still annoying

Someone should make actually good DC games that I like instead of the Arkham stuff, because I've always preferred DC over Marvel

Just reuse the DCUO hybrid universe with everyone's favorite versions of all the characters mashed together instead of being dark and edgy like the terrible movies or all the Batman stuff

I really do keep thinking "wow this game is extremely ok" though

😐👍

Never bad enough to stop playing, never good enough to really be excited about it

It also might be the most Liberal game I've ever played, or at least in a long time

Like there's heavy handed environmentalism all over the place and feel good helping homeless people and basically turning JJJ into diet Alex Jones, but then also being super pro cop and not really envisioning anything outside of the real world status quo being able to be anything other than bad/evil/criminal/etc.

Which is really kind of uninspiring after some of my favorite stuff from the past couple years has been either explicitly revolutionary/anti-cop like 1000xRESIST or Vengeful Heart, or a little further back implicitly like XC3, where fear of change and preserving the status quo at any cost is literally the antagonist, who you have to build mutual aid networks to defeat

For real though, I'd love a single player offline game with the tone and bright colors and greatest hits vibes of DCUO (which I haven't played in several years at this point), even though it'll never happen. And I also wish big budget stuff like this could be as provocative and thought-provoking as something like 1000xRESIST or Vengeful Heart or more quietly subversive like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 instead of being so risk-averse. I really should be spending my time on more stuff like that, but I guess this works for now while there's still construction going on nearby and it's harder to focus on more involved things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me and the bestieee (and Superboy?)

I've been playing DC Online for quite some time because I'm a nerd <3 more screenshots below if you're interested!

The Halloween Event had various prizes, among them being Teekl Totems for your base! I somehow got two and they've been hanging around ever since. They break my other stuff sometimes </3

An older screenshot where I finally got lucky enough to join the JL:D raid in the House of Mystery / Limbo Town <3 it's like looking in a funhouse mirror! (I mainly took this cuz its a shock that he's So Small)

And this is the most recent one, where I joined a league some weeks ago and quickly became the third ranking player in "Most Fashion Changes" hehe. If you squint, it could be a statue dedicated to our funny Witch-Boy ✨

Summary: Back home, I was just one in a million. One in sixty-eight million, to be precise. I wasn't born on a planet circling a red sun, sent in a rocketship just before it exploded. I didn't swear vengeance on the criminal underworld in the worst city on the continent. I wasn't shaped from clay and given life through divine power, and weapons from the gods of Olympus. I did get to enjoy the powers that were bestowed on me out of desperation, if only they hadn't completely upended my life. The only question is, now...what's with this golden guy flying around like Superman usually does?

THEY GAVE HIM A RECEDING HAIRLINE 😭😭😭

[quadrupleangst]

I'm still new to DC Universe Online so I'm not sure what happened, but I found Teekl hanging around in the House of Legends twice and disappear both times after like, 10 seconds. This is how I felt:
