Testament is on the right next to her, their arm around Bridget's shoulder as they cover their face in laughter. They have the non-binary flag painted on their cheeks.

A game I most likely would never have played, but nevertheless had every right to exist.

You really know your stuff. It always warms my heart to see younger blood interested in retro art.

I know nothing about the Time Bokkan series aside from Doronjo and Yatterman 1 and 2 being in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

I never watched the Ruby Spears show aside from seeing a few clips here and there, but that's hilarious.

I also don't know if this is true, but I heard in the Japanese versions of the classic series, Roll was never referred to as his sister, even though they were both made by Dr. Light. Also, at the end of the day, they're robots.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.

So I've been thinking, you know how in the classic Mega Man series he has a little sister in the form of Roll, based on Astro Boy's little sister, Uran? And you know how in Battle Network and Legends she's his girlfriend instead?

What did Capcom mean by this?

We are at the 'whole AAA games cancelled for fear of offending rabid racists' stage of this clusterfuck now.

Is it really too much to ask for an artist or anyone in the creative field to not be some sort of weirdo or problematic in some way?

Be more like Yukimura, not J.K.

Another thing I've always given it credit for is that it also wasn't ashamed of being a video game compared to the Last of Us. Although, I know that's not a particularly high bar.

For all the shit that game gets, would it be controversial of me to say I kinda liked the old timey covers of contemporary songs?

I heard this a long time ago and I don't know how true this, but allegedly, dogs are considered "impure" animals in Islam and some Muslims forbid having them.
