    They must've come up with the name off the bracelet.

    No see, Cuff was the name of the doctor.

    There are absolutely people who just call (cuff style) bracelets cuffs

    It's not the most common thing in the world, but it's one of the types of bracelets you can do that with (the other big one being bangles)

    That said, she is in fact wearing bangles and not cuffs

    Cuff is just his name he knows he’s a bangle.

    No I must say I agree that is enormously vexing, I'm sure that games writing is wall to wall floor to ceiling garbage and even if you played through all of it the cuff thing would stand out, fuck that shit

    Bracelet has “let” in it which is small and diminutive and kind of like “Lette” which is feminine.

    Cuff is like “buff” which is strong and masculine which balances the human’s femininity.

    the whole thing is a gambit so she can eventually say she's not taking guff from a cuff

    No, Gambit wears partially-fingerless gloves, not cuffs.

    it kind of makes sense. He has to touch things to charge them with energy, so at least the thumb and index finger need to be uncovered (for card throwing). You could, of course, just wear fingerless gloves for this utility...

    I think Gambit needed to make skin contact with an object to charge it with his power, but he also wanted to be a cool guy who wore gloves so this was his big-brained solution.

    Edit: You know, I was about to comment on Gambit not even having those abs if he was shown shirtless, but after googling, I was surprised to see that he actually did:

    You only need to accidentally kinetically charge one clitoris to realize you need to wear those gloves if you’re Gambit.

    I'll bet if I had those powers I'd accidentally energize my gloves all the time and have to whip them off.

    Point: Gambit knows multiple mutants who can turn their bodies into inorganic material.

    Counterpoint: Gambit probably doesn't know where to find the clitoris.

    When someone says “cuff” in that context I immediately think of those 2-inch wide leather cuffs that like, the guy from Sugar Ray and every employee at American Eagle wore in the late 90s/early 00s.

    I think I read years ago a comic where Gambit picked up a chunk of ice from Iceman's body and used it as a projectile

    Could even do stuff with the villains where they're considering kidnapping the doctor that treats super-powered individuals to try and get confidential information from them on the hero's weaknesses, only to have it pointed out that the doctor is also the only person qualified to treat their boss who has a dwarf star in place of his heart, and so they probably shouldn't fuck with him.

    There was a very short lived comics run called District X that featured bishop helping people who were like, mutants, but not X-men grade. So a guy who had plant control powers but grew roots when he sat down and got stuck all the time, or a guy with the powers of the human torch but not fire resistance. I have to imagine if it lived longer it might have gotten a hospital segment with that kind of thing.

    I was digging through my game collection tonight and finally tried out Fallen Enchantress- Legendary Edition. It was fine, but felt very sterile. I tried playing a scenario but after a couple of hours it didn't hook me in. It had all the parts I would expect in a game of its type and they all appeared to function well, but it just felt soulless.

    Age of Wonders III still holds the crown for the MoMlikes. I have some hopes for Age of Wonders IV, but it will depend on the quality of the campaign. I need an overarching storyline and the ability to develop my heroes over multiple maps to really have these games click for me. Or an individual scenario has to be really, really good.

    After Fallen Enchantress, I dug up Brutal Legend from my backlog and gave it a shot. This game starts off extremely strong and just oozes style. I just met up with the other characters and I think I'm getting sent on the first major mission in the game. To date it appears to be an action game, though I don't know if you can actually die outside of falling off the road. I knew this game came out a while ago, but apparently it was 2013 and it stands up really well. The comedy to date has been pretty good. The gag of what one NPC focuses on in the first campfire scene got a chuckle out of me and there's been a bunch of good stuff before then too.

    There's a person in the Gotham OSHA office who is about two weeks from turning into a costumed villain if one more inspector rubber-stamps a noncompliant guardrail.
