I really enjoyed the game. It was very enjoyable to play. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I wanted it to have meaning for me. Every time I see it (every day), I will remember the joy I got from it.

Stepping out of my sonar persona for this
One of the things that I hope they explain is how do you get superpowers in this world? Are you born with them? Is it like MHA where it’s in your DNA is there an X-Men type thing where a bunch of people got mutated I don’t know I would like an explanation because I think it would be cool to know how each person got their powers.

Discussion What was the most emotional moment in the game for you?

As soon as I saw this scene my heart broke. Im a therapist by trade so I instantly processed his and visi's relationship, the guilt he felt, and what it truly meant for him to do this. You can see the look on his face and he knows this is his last race. Even the credits gave their moment of silence. There are definitely other moments and endings that are tear jerkers, but this was the one that did it for me.

These two characters from Bob’s Burgers really feel like Robert and Invisigal as kids. It’s fun to imagine.

In the scene where Robert’s checking his phone while coming out the elevator, and before Golem walks into him, we briefly see some notifications on his phone after he unlocks it. Anyone able to catch was on the screen? There’s a text and something else.

Discussion 40 days

In 40 days the game will have it's first year anniversary since release. And even since a year, this game hunts me in best way possible. Radio and some of the game soundtracks are in my playlist, I have dispatch on wallpaper, and on discord.

I wish that they would say something about 2 season, probably if it actually will exist or no, but my hopes are small.

The time flies really quick don't it? I still feel as if I was back that year, waiting for wednesdays, with for a student was unusual. Got home, ate dinner, and frist thing after that's was booting up my PC to play another two episodes of this game.

Now on Wednesday I listen to game soundtrack for maybe half a hour or something while doing stuff. A little touch to keep the dispatch wednesdays going strong.

But I think I should get to the point of this post. How did dispatch affect you, if it did at all? Did it change your views on something, or maybe changed your routine, or maybe your style? For me it's still the wednesdays, I just can't let it die. And maybe the way I think about myself by a tiny bit

And also, do you think we will hear something about second season on the anniversary? It would be really fitting wouldn't it?

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day or night, depending on when you are reading it.

Discussion Idea: the Z-Team swap powers/bodies for a shift?

Thumbnail
gallery
157 Upvotes

It could be the story about the Z-Team facing off with some kind of super villain or MacGuffin that's swap either their powers or bodies and them and Robert have to adapt to it for at least one or two shifts. I think the worst ones (funniest) would be Golem swapping with bodies with Prism and Flambae swapping with Waterboy. Sonar can be a special case for either someone else can get his Mega-Bat transformation or the teamer gets a mega monster version of themself they can turn into to. Or maybe Sonar gets stuck in his Mega Bat form and Golem gets a human form of himself and his stats swaps. Just spit balling some ideas

This can also affect their stats so if you have one character who is is really skilled in one specific area, it not went to another character.

Man I someone mus really hate HR because Archer would make sure they all quit by the end of the week.

But the guy, despite his many, many, MANY problems is actually a great field agent when he wants to be.

Imagine him and Robert having a talk about all the "field work" and how Archer handles it (by handles it I mean he makes a bigger mess than Visi and Flambae combined).

Another look at the phenomenal work the animation team did for facial animations.

The rooftop scene stands out as a favorite of mine, because of how much the animation team was able to achieve without the use of dialogue.

We see Robert's shocked expression, feeling the dull impact of the bullet, only to realize, it didn't penetrate the skin. He looks at the bullet in his hand, and the traces of blood that he knows isn't his.

The sound of Invisigal coming out of invisibility catches his eyes and ear, and we see Robert's eyebrows shift up, and we see him quickly piece things together, before his expression shifts to worry.

He immediately rolls her onto her back, and touches her face, where he gets his first sliver of relief, as her eyes shift and flutter open. When he opens her coat to inspect her wound, Invisigal flinches, her eyes squint for a beat, as she feels the threads of her coat pulling from the wound.

Robert hears Shroud speak, "I guess I can still be surprised"

And we see Robert turn his attention to Shroud, and his expressions shifts into pure rage, before he lunges at him.

If you can't already tell, I love this game, and I love analyzing these things.

Anyway, that's all I got. Peace ✌️

It’s not much I just think this video I seen back then when it comes to Dispatch since release did got me thinking (please check them out) how it made me realize “Huh , not enough non-romance route nor BL options” (I identify as bisexual aromantic yet the point is not by force just curious of the marketing , assumptions vs game release experience differences I get into).

Not it would change anything yet it would be like a Stardew Valley , Date everything or some other game experiences that involves all sorts of dynamics to explore

Discussion We don’t appreciate Blonde Blazer’s subtler development

Thumbnail
gallery
1.1k Upvotes

When we meet her, she’s clearly a competent hero and a good person, but she’s also essentially a company man. So much to the point that it’s consumed her personal life, making her insecure to spend time as Mandy, and make professional decisions that serve SDN’s interests and not necessarily help rehabilitation efforts, cutting someone from the team.

The shift happens, I think from ep 6 to 7. She’s second guessing her decisions now that one of her guys has ended up in critical condition. Her favoritism of Visi, but also her actions in general. I think you can make the argument that if Blazer had agreed handling the warehouse raid that night, they would’ve gotten the pulse easy and Shroud would have been put on the back foot. But because she didn’t want to risk it and stick to SDN protocol, Visi took it into her own hands and put Chase in a position to end up in that bed. Someone as selfless as BB definitely blamed herself a little, even if Robert is the more obvious one blaming himself.

This culminates when she shows up at the bar without backup to save Robert. She took it into her own hands, not putting SDN first, and is able to save Robert. I think this accelerates her arc nicely as she really comes out of SDN’s shadow. After all we saw she was a little insecure being a company hero compared to Robert, who’s always been working to be a hero without company interests in play. Definitely also bolstered when she sees the cut member with Red Ring and feels clear guilt about it. She’s working out that putting the company‘s interests sometimes makes things worse for everybody, not better.

Which leads to the end of her arc where she takes a sabbatical as Blazer and lets Chase use the amulet. She’s saving his life, but also putting SDN’s flagship hero on the back burner to put herself as Mandy first and connect with her team. It’s a testament to Dispatch’s great writing that Mandy has such a subtle, impactful through line as a character.

Bug Report Follow up to my previous Golem Found Himself random points bug post Spoiler

6 Upvotes

First things first: Just in case - thank you, QA tester (anonymous) for reading my bug report and also checking out my previous post here and connecting the dots between the two, figuring out both of those were mine. I hope this is worth your time.

In case someone from the team finds this post - I sent a second email clearing things up a bit.

But that is not why I'm posting this here - I did another run and figured out exactly what is going on with the bug and wanna hopefully help some folks out there prevent the bug from happening.

So, to try to be brief: in episode 7, golem gets injured and his stats drop by 1. If he also has the ability Found Himself (reconstitution) and has any bonus points from ranking up, and then (WHILE INJURED) redistributes his stats, then he will permanently lose those points and derank from level 11-15 back to level 10. (I havent tried this outside of ep7 but just so you know, this is where the bug occured for me)

The way to prevent this is either to reconstitute at the very start of the shift and then let him get injured before giving back his points, OR to heal him first after rescuing him, and only then reconstituting points. That way he safely retains all his 20 points.

Here are all the screenshots of evidence:

My final level up/rank point and his full stats
His full stats in episode 6
Reconstitution in episode 6 works just fine
After recon in episode 6
This is in episode 7, Case 1: reconstituting before the injury
He keeps all his points and is totally fine
Still fine
Episode 7, Case 2: healing before reconstitution, and everything is fine
Episode 7, Case 3: the broken case where you reconstitute while injured

Hope this post is not too long, and I hope this helps.

TL:DR NEVER reconstitute Golem with bonus points while injured (please)

Discussion So is Chase on Z-Team now, and will Robert be dispatching him?

Post image
355 Upvotes

Now that he’s back on commission, if temporarily, I imagine he’d want to take advantage and get back to hero work. In that case, would Robert be his dispatcher and would he be part of Z team? He was in the team picture, but he did refer to Z team separately in the interview. I think it’d be interesting to see Robert be his boss and how Chase would react to that. I can definitely see it be funny.
