I still vastly prefer FoundryVTT, but that's me :P

That settings seems to be created especially to not appeal to me. I never got superheroes. I loathe workplace comedy. It seems painfully straight, in all senses of the word
And I might be in the minority here, but I would have liked a more "traditional" Telltale playstyle
Yeah, this is not for me :P

Eeerm, yeah, that was some kind of typo or brainfart word switch, but I don't even remember what I wanted to say here

...Why Hamelin? It's a perfectly normal and non-horrific town.

...Is that just leveraging ScummVM? Or is that something Nightdive did themselves for a change?

Maybe it's a licensing issue? Seven of Nine was in the recent Picard show, so maybe there's something going on with the rights of using her character, or with Jeri Ryan's agency or what-have-you?
IIRC, the recent DS9 introduced a completely new character with Kira Nerys instead of Ro Laren from TNG was something similar, as was reintroducing Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris in VOY instead of using his TNG character Cadet Nicholas Locarno. From what I remember, both new characters were originally meant to be the established characters later in life, but that would have meant paying the writers of the original episode, and that was deemed to be not worth it in the end. Or something along those lines. Yes, it's not 100% comparable, I know.

As for Graf Zahl... Never had any contact with him, so I can't really comment.
(Only that Graf Zahl is the official German name for the Sesame Street character Count von Count. Do with that information what you will :P)
Except that I also really hate the recent push by people to cram "AI" into everything. Especially for code, it's pretty awful. At work, we're constantly prodded to try all the terrible Copilot stuff, because my company is paying for those licenses and the higher-ups are getting hard hallucinating about all the bonuses they could get with the productivity increases. Increases that are of course completely made-up, as what Copilot spits out is without fail bullshit.
You can even see it in the code he commited, to check for "dark mode" on Linux... which, first of all, merely checks if the theme has the word "dark" in it, which is laughable in its own right, and then doesn't even compile. If that account were satirical fiction, everyone would call it out for being too on the nose.

I'm waiting for DrMcCoy to comment on this and see what he thinks. ^^Yeah, sorry, I'm a bit late :P. Life has been busy recently, and I haven't followed GoL that closely lately
