hi, i love your games and i was just wondering something about randy, if he would date anyone cuz "beggars can't be choosers" does that include manipulative relationships?? .. like if someone bad asked him out, and they were extremely manipulative, how long would it take for randy to leave the relationship? or would he just stick with it?

((i love randy so much please tell me he would leave eventually))

It definitely puts him in danger of entering a manipulative relationship, but eventually, if treated badly enough, he would leave.

when i was writing the characters' backstories, i decided to write somewhat about their pasts too in order to get in the right headspace for each character (and knowing it'd be a good launchpad for future content, if dt succeeded) and the thing about randy is that he actually has already gone through some character development pre-meeting gingi.

the last major lesson randy learned, pre-gingi, was recognizing when people don't have your best interests at heart and cutting ties with them if that's the case. while randy is a pushover, he DOES stand up for himself in the ending where you ditch him outside of gingi's tent and then leave, when it's obvious that Gingi does NOT care about Randy. so, yeah, i think randy would leave at a point once his tolerance for bullshit is exhausted, even if his desperation makes him largely more patient than he should be. hope this helps!

war is over

[directdogman]

wait do the heads have blood? if i hit randy very hard on the head with a hammer and he went pop, would there be blood and brains or just wires and stuff?

blood and brains too. you can see it vaguely in one of his endings.

I am curious, can you take off the handset (the phone part that you can pull out of the phone to talk into) out of Oliver's face and talk into it? How would it be like for Oliver? Would it be like whispering a secret into his ear? Would it be different for other dialtown characters who have a handset for their head like Gingi, Jerry and Tango? What is the general consensus of taking another person's handset and talking into it?

Yeah, you can take it off and speak into it, but it's considered an intimate gesture. Oliver would probably be the least fazed by it of the applicable cast you could do this with, but most people would be like "what the FUCK are you doing." comparing it to the sensation of whispering into someone's ear by speaking directly into it is correct.

mingus is so silly i love her pls shove my wife in the microwave <3

i'm imagining mingus reading this (with a scowl ofc.) im sure she'd hiss at the end

If gingi had a normal head what colour hair would they have? Or would they be bald

bald is tempting. would be more aerodynamic.

Each Dialtown cast member shares their favourite Muppet!

Idea: Characters from the cast of Dialtown are asked to share their favourite characters from The Muppets, in order to get the Muppets fandom on board with DT, which winds up being a largely fruitless ordeal.

Gingi insists that Grover and Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street are Muppets when asked, and takes it badly when Gingi is instead asked to name a character FROM The Muppet Show. The ensuing discussion that follows is much too rancid to be published online, making the time spent trying to calm Gingi down entirely in vain.

Karen's comments are not published as she refuses to do ANYTHING other than vent frustrations about Kermit the Frog, making her comments unusable as they would undoubtedly piss off a large section of the Muppets fandom, who largely venerate Kermit the Frog.

Randy tries to make an argument for Scooter being the 'best one', feeling that he, himself, is the scooter of the Dialtown cast, and thus, must stick up for one of his ilk. This answer is NOT published because the internet would tear him to shreds for playing devil's advocate for the worst Muppet.

Randy is then given another opportunity to pick a favourite Muppet, provided he selects a different Muppet. Randy picks Pepe the Prawn. When asked why Pepe is his favourite, tears well on his screen and he asks if he can leave to get a glass of water. Upon leaving the room, Randy never comes back. The answer isn't included in the article, as it's impossible to discern whether Randy feels that Pepe the Prawn is truly a kindred soul or if he was simply put on the spot and felt pressured to simply name the first Muppet he thought of.

Oliver answers by explaining Gonzo is his favourite but every time he's given an opportunity to explain why, his explanation inevitably transitions into a rambling endorsement of anarchism. Each time, after he's been given an opportunity to explain himself, Oliver is asked to rephrase his answer to be less political and he accepts, apologizing for his mistake and swearing that he understands what the blog is looking for now. Oliver then proceeds to somehow transition back into an endorsement of anarchism until the interviewer gives up and decides to leave him out of the article.

We're not actually sure who Norm likes the best from the Muppets cast because before we could get to Norm, Gingi (irate that Grover/Oscar the Grouch were rejected as its answer) told Norm about Big Bird dying in the Challenger explosion (which happened in DT's timeline), prompting Norm to get really upset and leave before his turn came up. Norm's favourite character is PROBABLY Sam Eagle, but now, we'll never get to know for sure. Thanks, Gingi.

Mingus, when asked, declined to answer out of sheer disinterest. Upon being shown a photo of the extended Muppet cast, she arbitrarily pointed to Robin the Frog and said "That one, I guess." Upon being asked why she would pick Kermit's nephew of all characters, her response was: "It's no business of mine who this frog is related to. Nobody is well-connected enough to ensure they'll live if I deem them a threat to my success." After being reminded that Robin is canonically a child, Mingus retorted by pointing out that Robin is, in fact, a fictional frog puppet. Not sure what to do with this answer, but we certainly can't include it.

Stabby + Shooty are asked for their favourites and they pick Statler and Waldorf respectively. When asked why, they explain it's because they're cool, wear suits, deliver CUTTING jabs, and each hang out with their best bro all day, not unlike themselves. The blog operator remarks: "Oh. I figured it was because, like you guys, they're kinda interchangeable and are pretty much overlooked by everyone", causing Stabby to angrily flip a table and storm out of the room. Shooty apologies meekly for his outburst and leaves to calm his companion down. The answer is not published as the interviewer had no clue which was Stabby and which was Shooty, thus being unable to accurately attribute the answers to either of them.

Bigfoot's favourite character turns out to be Animal, and this is the only answer that ends up being published.

Here's the finished article:

DIALTOWN ARTICLE, EACH OF THE CAST'S FAVOURITE MUPPETS: BIGFOOT'S IS ANIMAL.
