Cloudpunk

  • Much of the game is basically Rania reacting to the Cloud Cuckoolander populace of Nivalis and her being the Only Sane Woman while simultaneously a Deadpan Snarker.
  • Raina is asked to be on a cooking show and to fake being sick. Then she is asked to fake being annoyed.
    Rania: I am annoyed.
  • Rania meets an Engineer who warns her that the city is held together by duct tape and bailing wire. He then gives her a variety of warnings about the blinking of lights and the horrible fates that will occur if they happen. Except purple, purple is okay because it's too late to do anything about it.
  • Rory Alpha is a Straw Misogynist that irritates Rania by trying to interview her for his awful television show.
    • Rania runs into another one called Glen Bo who tries to draw her into a debate. Rania, who doesn't care what he thinks, just agrees and annoys the hell out of him.
  • The Cherry Pie vendor's Suspiciously Specific Denial:
    Vendor: I swear, these taste exactly like actual cherries!
    Rania: That is not a normal thing to say about actual cherries.
  • The Andersons are an accounting firm of androids, half named Mr. Anderson and the other half named Ms. Anderson. Their leader, Mr. A, has died a long time ago and they're paralyzed without him.
  • The Butlers are incredibly Blue Bloods with Mrs. Octavia Butler being an Upper-Class Twit that can't speak five minutes without insulting the poor or her own husband indirectly.
  • Huxley's Private Eye Monologue that prevents him from talking in anything but purple narration.

City of Ghosts

  • The opening of the game has a The Dude-like man take advantage of a robot cop by claiming to be a currency inspector. The robot gives him a thousand credits that he says is faked and must be confiscated.
    "I can't believe that worked."
  • Rainia's interview with her new controller is pure Snark-to-Snark Combat. Like when asked her politics and Raina says violent anarchist.
  • A group of bored Spire aristocrats hacks her HOVA in order to force them to go interesting places. They're not even there, they just are riding along digitally.
