They changed the yellow cake mix recipe and it doesn’t taste quite the same. Somewhere the old formula is on a drive screaming to get out but market forces say NO.

People these days have no shame. Dudes are putting skeezy anime titty stickers on their cars. The kind that changes the image as you change your angle. Just driving around without any shame. Always some creepy rear end goon behind the wheel too. Saw one the other day that also said something like, "I watch anime for the boobs". Jesus Christ It's not enough to be an anime porn freak in private, now you have to flaunt it in public?

Most of the cars around here that have borderline hentai stickers seem to overwhelmingly be driven by decent looking early 20s guys. Not that this is an excuse, but it doesn’t seem to be the neckbeard crowd.

And even on these forums a whole lot of people are posting about what characters they are horniest for and who they want to romance and how excited they are for the sex scenes. It was shocking to me to see how the cultural zeitgeist around sexual attraction to virtual animated characters has flipped in the last however many years

15 years ago, in the army, I saw a dude with a HENTAI INSIDE sticker on his bag. It was a big sticker too. I think I even took a picture and posted it on the forums.

In bg2 you could stuff your newborn baby into the bag of holding Anyway, I'm positive this is just a case of positive feedback loop among a very insular and small circle of online creeps detached from reality, and not a fair assessment of why BG3 is a major game release (but one of the biggest games of all time? C'mon now)

Funniest thing re: Baldur's Gate 3 are the many, many devs from other studios complaining that BG3 is too good and making their jobs too hard.

steinrokkan posted:In bg2 you could stuff your newborn baby into the bag of holding Nah it's really abundantly clear and obvious that "you can gently caress a bear" is responsible for a whole lot of the game's buzz. That was announced on July 7th, and search traffic for BG3 tripled immediately afterward. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&geo=US&q=Baldurs%20Gate%203&hl=en   Also it's ranked #16 on Steam charts for all-time peak users, on literally the day it came out, it's definitely one of the biggest PC game releases of all time. https://steamdb.info/charts/?sort=peak And it spawned a whole lot of Video Games Journalism articles about the bear loving and the horniness, e.g.: https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-lets-you-have-sex-with-a-druid-in-bear-form deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Aug 4, 2023 |

It shows search interest was already rising quickly in time for the release and kept rising at the same pace with a small temporary peak after that trailer.

You're misreading the charts, the "already rising" search interest was "already rising" starting on July 7th, when Bear loving was announced. It was flat before that day. It jumped from 23% to 60% of its peak search interest on the day Bear loving was announced. e: Not saying it's a bad game or anything, just that "I want my videogames to be horny" is now a mainstream opinion and that was weird to me to learn. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Aug 4, 2023 |

Its about as horny as the dragon age games from 15 years ago. Meaning that to get to the horny parts you have actually play the game through its most tedious parts. Maybe larian found out being puritanical in its marketing is not worth it so they went the other way and hey what you know hornier = more money! Maybe goons are just getting older and too sensitive.

I don't condone it, I just know that the cringe is the feature which doesn't make it any more acceptable but does explain why it's more common now (because the west has already copied and played out the other, better japanese car styling sub cultures)
