next session is going to be explosive
ttrpg posting, torture, betrayal, schemes
highlights from today’s The Shadow of Yesterday session:
- Cador the ratkin (PC) has been spying on the trade envoy of a foreign merchant house to prepare to murder her (and is very well prepared now)
- the court wizard, Saul (PC), trapped another ratkin hiding in the castle and magically tortured her into giving up that there’s another ratkin (Cador) and to help him capture them in exchange for letting her and her friend leave the castle and never come back
- Sidonie (PC), trade envoy of a different merchant house conspired with Cador for the killing her rival plan. but she also made a deal to intentionally lose the trade negotiations with their host to the rival house in exchange for personal kickbacks.
- Sidonie has also made arrangements to make a fake copy of a grimoire recently obtained by Saul that she will swap for the real thing in order to steal it.

here's some Argentinian films for you:
- Argentina, 1985: a very affecting dramatization of the Trial of the Juntas after the end of the last Argentine dictatorship
- Nueve reinas: a con artist film, quite good
- Tiempo de valientes (/On Probation): a fascinating buddy cop movie about a psychiatrist who is accompanying a detective depressed about his wife cheating on him (to satisfy the psych's community service requirement for some minor crime he did
- Tiempo de revancha: Federico Luppi (whom you may know from Guillermo del Toro's Spanish-language films) as an ex-labor-organizer getting work in demolitions for a mining company during the last dictatorship and running into an old friend on the crew and then stuff happens.

cop movies, spoilers for Tiempo de valientes (2005)
the first act of the movie is about the two of them being depressed about their wives cheating on them (fuck men, these guys both admit to each other that they've cheated on their wives before) btw.
then they end up doing what i mentioned in the previous message

argentinian buddy cop movies are on a very different level.
a corrupt cop and a shrink end up breaking out of the intelligence services' headquarters, stealing a helicopter, and foiling a plot by the intelligence services to steal like uranium or something

@Lady they have pivoted a little bit toward "it's cool to have horns and a tail"

a fun thing about making a game of a type i'm not very good at is that i get to hear from my friends how they are playing it way more skillfully than i would have thought possible
i made a game for a game jam.

it's a platformer, but instead of jumping, you switch between different waveforms to avoid enemies. You play an electronic music using your tunes to get past power chords and electric basslines so you can kill rock and roll.
