maybe i’m jumping to conclusions here but for some reason i have a hunch that the snk heroines fighting game is as interested in having varied character designs and good fighting game mechanics as dead or alive beach volleyball is at accurately simulating the experience of playing beach volleyball

Yeah, it does rather suck because SNK does have enough good female characters to make a non-skeezy all lady fighter. Hell, my best characters throughout the KOFs and games likes SNK Battle Coliseum and CVS2 are Mai, Athena, and Yuri.

It doesn't even have to be non-skeevy, just make it so the skeeviness doesn't seem to be the point of the game.

That was a legendary ycs secret santa story, where one goon apparently got sent a Dreamcast full of roaches.

Or maybe other people have posted about it happening to them to but it never hurts to bring that story up.

glam rock hamhock i believe you may have made a critical error in judgement vis a vis what is and isn't the main point of the game

Yeah, its vanilla PS4s. The roaches are attracted to the heat and are able to crawl inside due to the vanilla PS4's design. The Slim doesn't have this problem.

Check the cooling vents because that's how they get in. Apparently you can tell if they did because of all the poop.

I work in electronics recycling and we've gotten in loads of cable boxes that have dead roaches inside of them.

I'm also listening to the This American Life you linked and it's bringing back memories of combing over everything with a vacuum and sprinkling diatomaceous earth everywhere in a vain attempt to fight back. And also lol at the end, the landlord magically hired a new pest control company after the story aired, apparently the previous 3 years of the tenants getting eaten alive wasn't enough to get competent professionals involved.

e: I moved into a new apartment down here in Florida about 4 months ago and luckily I've only seen two roaches. I have a cat, he can earn his keep by eating them.

Supposedly the first one was actually a pretty decent volleyball game that used pressure sensitivity on buttons. Not like there's really any competition as volleyball games go, though, and obviously it was not the intended purpose of the game.

There are lots of cool gals that could have been picked, but I suspect that the developers/producers had a specific number of characters in mind when making the game, and chose through committee a mix of classic, obscure, and downright weird picks.

i don't think that's a good descriptor for skeezy when there are plenty of designs that gets thrown at that were drawn by women

I don't know why but being able to put Tekken characters in just regular rear end jeans and a t shirt is funny to me. It's so antithetical to fighting game character design so you gotta do it.
