Gotham Funger AU

For the uninitiated: Fear and Hunger (lovingly called Funger) is a duology of survival horror games featuring a similar world to ours with its own mythology. The name comes from the Fear and Hunger meters in game that, with the body meter will put the horror in surviving. It is infamous due to its difficulty and unfairness, since there’s no tutorial at all and everything can kill you, give you nasty statuses or make you lose limbs. Other claims to fame are its coin flip system that can randomly insta kill you and random generated loot (it resets each playthrough so some runs are wildly different from others depending on luck), a combat system based on chopping the enemies’ limbs (and them chopping yours off, permanently) and the games let’s just say very NSFW and violent nature. A gimmick in the first game is an orgy that heals your body and a cannibalistic feast that restores your hunger meter.

With all this in mind, here’s my idea for a funger game set in Gotham (part 1, plot and setting):

It all begins as Gotham is being evacuated (Arkham Knight style) due to Joker’s threats to gas the entire city with Joker Venom in three days. The main objective is to shut down the different gas production and distribution points across the city and defeating Joker. This is complicated thanks to a variety of Rogues accidentally or purposely blocking the way and causing their fair amount of chaos.

Due to the evacuation the streets are mostly deserted, and as the days pass the get more and more empty. First day morning you may still find some random citicens, from then on, it’s just thugs and jokerized monsters. As the days pass, previous thugs you hadn’t sent to jail get jokerized and jokerized victims get more and more monstruous following these stages:

Smiler (still mostly human, just stronger and “crazier”. They have bloody smiles and other joker features. A variety is the Brawler, bigger in size)

Agent of Chaos (humanoid but definitively no longer human. They’re tall and twisted, with more teeth. Still capable of human speech, they’ll use it to drain your Fear Meter. On a coinflip attack, they can carve a joker smile into their enemies preventing the use of rebreathers and causing damage each time you eat)

Harbinger of Madness (No longer humanoid, several mouths carved into their body, coinflip attack will eat one of your limbs resulting also in a permanent sanity de-buff),

Abomination (only on the third day, just a horrible blob off meat and smiles. It doesn’t do anything but drain your sanity, if you don’t kill it fast enough or have the ability to flee it will completely deplete your sanity meter and the character will begin the jokerization process)

All of the Funger Gods are real and exist in this world (but those that died in previous games are either forgotten or don’t hold real power) Current Gods prancing about would be: Sylvian, Gro-Goroth for the old Gods (Rher, Vinushka and God of the Depths confirmed dead by the end of Termina), All-Mer, The God of Fear and Hunger, Machine God and Sulfur Gods for Ascended Gods (All-Mer should be dying and confirmed dead by the end of the game to reflect how organized religion is dying out in this trying times).

Joker would be considered a servant of Rher, God of madness, but much like Per’kele, his real master is the God of Sulfur. Rher is dead, but madness, destruction and chaos take form in the new God and also his servant. Or at least that’s the general interpretation. Joker is actually a manifestation of the God of Sulfur, that’s why no one knows his origin and seems to be unkillable. His plan is to sacrifice the entirety of Gotham to properly finish his ascension to Godhood on Earth.

Much like in previous games the characters can cause the ascension of a new God to the pantheon: Gotham, Lady of night, cities and Justice. Basically, a Goddess that represents the path of modern cities and gives her favor to the vigilantes that protect them. She’s a good entity for the most part, but not a kind one. She is big cities given form, which means she also stands for all of the filth and depravity found within their streets. To achieve ascension and completely vanquish the Joker a character must become her Dark Knight by raising their affinity to maximum. This path will obviously be easier for Batman, but technically each batfam member could take his place (will discuss in a different part).

From a map perspective I would use the No Man’s Land map as a base. As any Funger player will tell you: the crazier the map, the better. Some areas would be completely inaccessible to make it more manageable. Other parts of the City might be only temporarily inaccessible or only accessible to certain characters. Some of this means may be: Joker or Fear gas (you’ll need a re breather), land mines (you will need a character with gadgeting or mechanic skills to disarm them), locked doors (keys, lockpicking, fighting the door, chainsaws/axes), chains (Bolt cutter, keys), blown up buildings/heights (Grappling gun).

The Bat cave acts a bit like Prehevil Bop and Donovan’s house. It’s quite a ways away, which deters the Bats from depending on it. It holds different pieces of randomly generated gear, a hexen table, ritual circle, a chest, and the Bat computer serving as a bookshelf. There are safe sleeping cots and Alfred will bring you a drink/food as needed. Other semi-safe spaces include: Jason’s safe house, the clock tower and Harley’s (a bar Harley Quinn has taken over)

Different locations may hold different resources like ritual circles, computers, side quests, main plot objective, but also enemies and rogues: Two-Face at City Hall’s Court, Penguin at the Iceberg, Killer Croc in the sewers, Poison Ivy at the Botanical Garden, Scarecrow at Arkham, and Riddler can’t be found physically but you can find riddles all over the place. The bats must balance dealing with all the rogues destroying the city while stopping the bigger threat of Joker. To be able to arrest any enemies you need to clear the GCPD headquarters (They can randomly scape) or for a more permanent solution, clear Arkham Asylum.

Part 2: Rogues

[faggotmox]

someone on insta pointed out that josh barnett has seminars in australia at the same time as grand slam.

awhile back death riders cut that desert promo near lv where they lit a flare. a lot of ppl thought the flare was singling or summoning someone. [edit: forgot to mention lv has a lot of history for mox & barnett]

barnett is clearly connected to mox, but he is also connected to marina as well as endorsed claudio as someone inoki would have hand picked. idk if he's got a connection to pac or yuta.

clearly the death riders have a certain aesthetic, code, & style of wrestling they're all doing & guess who fits perfectly into that? barnett, who has worked with/trained multiple members of the death riders.

so the current theory is that barnett might show up to join the the death riders at grand slam & that he may have been the one singled in the flare promo.

the *warmaster* would definitely work in the death riders but the real question would be...is josh barnett the warmaster going to bend the knee to the king or is he going to challenge the king.

bc barnett is a lonely wolf, man of his own that doesn't need a leader. he is the leader. so where does someone like barnett into the closed ranks of the death riders. he's not the advisor (marina), the captain (claudio), the king (mox), the pawn (yuta), or the kamikaze (pac) so what purpose would barnett serve in the death riders?

perhaps a mercenary type, requested to come in to use his special skill set to help the death riders & their mission? who knows but pieces are fitting together for this to be something.

if you've not seen Josh vs Claudio, Josh vs Mox (BS6), or Josh vs Mox (BSBushido) [which is can't find] you ought to.

this very much excites me as a fan of bloodsport, josh, the death riders, & very specifically claudio vs josh.

Trying out a new format

Moon 4

Midnightdusk honed her ears, eavesdropping on Scorchstripe. It was easier to eavesdrop on him than Shrubstalk because she was so quiet. Since Boragekit and Cloverstar were cleared to return back to their daily lives, Midnightdusk has been lonely. Scorchstripe's voice was calm and easy to understand, "Whitecough isn't a death sentence. Huskkit can recover however I am a bit worried about his constant sicklyness. The rest of the litter recovered from being ill as newborns but Huskkit..." "Hasn't gotten better," Robin's cold voice cut through the warmth of Scorch's rambling, "He's been constantly ill... Do you think it's..." "Not deadly but I fear that he will always be a sickly cat, even in adulthood," Scorchstripe's voice held an anxiety that Midnightdusk heard while he was talking about her claw wound, "This may be insensitive but do you know of any family history that may... entail some magical properties?" The den was quiet with consideration until Robin said, "Cats in The City do not know who their fathers are and mothers often leave their young once they are old enough to fend for themselves. While I do know of my litter's father I do not know of his family, or my own family. All I know is that I don't have magic like yours." "Alright, if magic is a component then I fear we may have doomed Huskkit..." Midnightdusk swiveled her ears behind her and laid her head down, feeling bad for violating kitty cat HIPPAA

-Huskkit has whitecough. Cloverstar and Boragekit recovered from heat exhaustion.

Robin needed to get out of camp, and Shrubstalk needed catnip, or catmint as clan cats call it. Gambler calls it cataire, but he's from a whole other island. Robin slowly crept through the underbrush of the mountain valley where it typically grows. There was a sound, not a rustling but a twinkling, where the underbrush opens up so male birds can set their stages when it's spring and not autumn. Peering up, Robin could easily make out the outline of a flame point with red cheeks, the same one she saw when Cliffclan found her. He faintly shimmered blue before he gasped and started to vanish, practically melting into the sky. "Wait don't leave!" But it was futile.

-Catmint gathered. Ghost met.

It has been a while since Dartstrike saw his sister leave the healers' den but now Midnightdusk was sat by the entrance of the herb storage. In other clans there would be a crowd below the leader however there wasn't a ledge or anything tall and climbable in camp for Cloverstar to perch on, something about making the camp kit friendly. Dart sat next to Midnight before the ceremony started, "So who do you think will mentor Drykit?" "I was hoping I would mentor him." "Don't you have an infected wound?" He harshly whispered. Midnight flicked her tail in an annoyed way, "Not infected anymore. I just need to make sure it doesn't scar. Oh, is that the meeting starting?" How convenient, Dartstrike thought.

-Midnightdusk's wound is no longer infected.

Is there enough prey for the feast, check. Enough catmint for the older cats, check. Cats are getting in a circle, check. "Clan meeting!" Cloverstar called out, "Drykit, you are able to leave camp and become an apprentice. Until you are made a warrior you will be called Drypaw." Cloverstar did a quick scan before settling on Raccoonmoss. He has been down for a while plus he could decline if he didn't want to mentor. "Raccoonmoss, you were trained well by Dartstrike and even before you trained out in the Old Desert. Do you wish to mentor Drypaw?" Raccon let out affirmative squeaking. "Then you are Drypaw's mentor! Let's celebrate!" Cloverstar happily purred at Raccoon's agreement. She remembered the apprenticeship parties that Desertclan use to throw, and how they were absent in Darkclan.

-Drypaw has been apprenticed to Raccoonmoss. Cliffclan has a feast!

Wisteriapaw knew she was a disappointment. Her flowers withering as soon as the water in the air around them dries up, near instantaneously. Reedwade gave a comforting purr, "It's ok. Try connecting your flowers to-" "To what? My face? My fur? I do that all the time!" " Wisteria..." "What 'Wade," Wisteriapaw snapped. "Paw," Reedwade said curtly, it made Wisteriapaw feel a pit in her stomach, "We are done training for today." Wisteriapaw watched Reedwade pad off to camp however she stayed behind. Wisteriapaw would stop being a disappointment.

-Wisteriapaw and Reedwade had an argument. Wisteriapaw disappeared for a few days

Maybe jh gave Ben the recommendation for the soho farmhouse since she hung there with some of her friends summer 2023? 😂 I swear, everything with him has some connection to her, hope this Aubrey is prepared for that.

Don’t really know what Aubrey actually does, but her bio on ig has a link to her interior design studio? Look at her now, getting to put that to use with helping with her boyfriend’s house! And then she gets to put her acting side to work and star in his music video. Living the dream

OMG she in fact did and even posted about it which Benny happily tapped xd and this does sound like her place like an exclusive members only wellness shitehouse, she likes them in the desert usually tho?? I'd say that this is bed bath and beyond me at this point but they are FRENS FOREVER (people mag exclusive info) so it tracks right?

And as for the interior design, yeah that's why I put it on the list of her renaissance skills and that insta profile is dead for months now AND like there is no mention of her design work or anything anywhere else sooooo lemme repeat what I said days ago - her biggest credits been thanks to Benny Boy so indeed living the dream muffin lol

Hi! About mercedes pr:

To me their content doesnt feel genuine, it feels like it was made in a corporate office with a team of officials. Thats my feeling with most of their content. It feels lifeless.

I think if we compare the meme reaction videos of redbull and George we can clearly see the differences. Its not exactly the same but its similar enough. We’ve only seen snipets of the redbull video but even then it feels real, dinamic. George sitting in front of the camera and reacting alone feels sterile. Of course a big part of that is him having to do these videos alone, so there isnt anybody to joke around with.

Even their insta storys feel corporate. (Sorry Im not sure thats the best word but hopefully you get what I mean.) It feels like a power point presentation that you would show at a corporate meeting after a raceweekend.

Im sorry to say but I consider their content boring. I dont follow mercedes social media even tho Im a George fan. 90% of what they post on a raceweekend is the result graphics.

Also what you wrote about the repetitive use of material. Once its funny twice its okey but after that it comes off as if they are desperate for ideas and content. This repetitiveness also makes their content (the rest that is not just result graphics) boring.

I feel like there is a lack of creativity within the team too and it's a huge part of it. They need to replace the old employees with younger new ones tbh. The ones who had passion for F1 and had creativity. Their video contents got potential but the editing and the setting is boring. They don't seem to give much effort to it.

And I think if we're talking about video, the production team is pretty lacking 🥲 In terms of producing the contents (brain storming, etc), they're very lacking at that... They need new people... Not to be harsh or nitpicky but like oh my god... 😭😭😭 THE IDEAS ARE SIMPLY DRY LIKE THE SAHARA DESERT THERE

And it's ok to call it boring anon. I feel like it too sometimes 😅 It's your opinion so it's fine. I agree with you

So Cindy is using the last question, leaves Arthur behind at his little Hackerhook with no intention to retrieve him from the falling continent. Watts frees Ironwood. Jaques and Wolfboi both die. (which im happy with, anything to see the plots chessboard shrink a little in size at this point) ----- Cinder does a big distraction speech. Yang notices Neo. God, what even is the point of aura as a forcefield when characters can one-shot through it whenever the plot wants a bit of drama. Like... This isnt someone like Oz or Adam who can deal big NOVA-burst attacks, this is neo attacking the MC with a damage absorbtion semblance and she insta-KO’s her. So here’s a thing, if Ambrosius’ twist is that he made everything “one way” so that the only exit is Vacuo. why can Jaune exit the portal at the subwaytunnels?  Why can all the shrapnel from the Weis-VS-Cinder battle come flying out of the portal to endanger civilians?  Like i get that they technically only said that the vacuo portal would be a One Way Ticket, but by letting all the other portals be exit portals as well as entry the system can still be used as a two-way ticket between say, the Vault Chamber portal and the Subway Portal.  This Genie Wish Twist is inconcistently lenient is what im saying. ---- Discount-Ren tries to talk harriet out of the Nuclear Bomb Ok, bird through the window of the plane, actually pretty funny. Tinman cries at the acusation that he’s become the thing he swore to protect/the need to fight his lieutenant. ---- Ah because if there is one thing this climax needed it was faceless grimm in the desert. Not like we didnt have enough things going on already. Like at least everything else happening rn is stuff that has is culminating two seasons of interactions and set-up. These grimm are just here because team NOER (pronounced “noir”)  needs to show their abilities also. Also, didnt the crew look up and specify to Ambrosius the exact location they wanted the exit-portal to be. Does Whitley’s Schnee Corporate Databanks not have the locations of a single warehouse/store/corporate officebuilding within city limits instead of the kingdom adjacant desert. Like the entry portals are stipulated down to the meter, but the exit is just a generic “somewhere in the desert i guess”. Basically: while i buy the One Way twist as a way to deny team RWBY access to NOER, i dont buy it as a way to force NOER into a seperate “protect the civilians” crisis against the Grimm. ------ In summary of this episode: Im overall relatively happy that the scope of the plot is finally shrinking a bit again with Jaques, and Dogboy both dead, the last Question asked. As well as James and Arthur seeming about to leave the stage forever will hopefully prevent the scope of the plot from ballooning too much now that nukes exist and the plot’s about to hand the villains an infinite suply of any one-use item they want (such as nukes) that they can instantly spawn in anywhere they have coordinates for  from a kingdom away. Like all it takes is Cinder to say “I want a copy of Ironwoods bomb, on a pre-activated one-second countdown at these particular coordinates that I know corespond to Vacuo’s Academy”. and she can do that infinitely many times. Sort of dissapointed though that Arthurs weapons (his rings) only ever got used in the one fight scene against ironwood. But then again he’s meant to be the “tech support” character, not a combatant in his own right so its fine.
