The 'Some in the name of immersion(???).' link is a hotlink to loverslab, and broken besides.

...which, thinking on it, certainly fits the thread's themes, but still.

It's a hotlink but if you just click on the URL of the hotlink after you get to the error page and hit enter it'll load the image.

Slab's anti-hotlinking isn't that complex.

The only problem I see is that they had to keep Rosalina's wand in there (assumedly for animation reasons) but they couldn't find a way to actually make her hold it properly so it just looks like she's holding it the same way a young child holds a dead spider.

It seems like it was made solely because it was possible to do it and released because it was funny

It's worth noting that Tomato is the same guy who did the Mother 3 translation. It's not so much "it was possible to do it" and more "he wanted it to be possible to do". Inserting a script is one thing, machine translating an entire script dump, control codes and all (at least, that's how he made it sound when he streamed his test runs of it) and making something playable out of the mess that comes out, that's not just something that broadens his understanding of how programming works, but also of how machine translation works.

And he released it to the public because, amongst other obvious choice lines, Cecil skips leg day.

This is also sort of a Bee Movie meme revival, because the original swarm of Bee Movie memes are at least three, four years old at this point, maybe more. For this batch I'm guessing someone with tumblr followers found an old meme they liked and decided to lovingly cultivate it.

In general the movie is incredibly proto-tumblr itself, what with the whole thing essentially being bee social justice. It's not really surprising it went memetic there.

The Awful/Awesome Mods Thread: The Part That Bugs Me Is Lizard Tits

In all honesty, though, it speaks volumes that the deathclaw is expressing an emotion other than "my soul is a void, grant me the sweet release of death" and is not generating lens flare from every inch of her body. It's sure someone's fetish, but somehow they put more effort into it than 99% of the Anime Waifus out there.

I'm not sure if that makes it more or less awful.

The lack of 'quality control' on backer rewards always puzzles me. Someone has to actually go through those submissions to transfer them to the game, you'd honestly think it not that hard to shoot an email to someone telling them 'No, we're not going to add your Nazi OC or some poo poo about how you have issues with women, pick something else you loving grog'.

But then they might cry to Kickstarter or Paypal about being unwilling to provide backer rewards and you lose all your money and :qq:

This is actually one of the reasons Kickstarter has some major issues.

You are incorrect. Well, no, you might be about the mod and the graphics I guess, but go look at lovely Sexy mods for Skyrim or Oblivion or Fallout 3 or New Vegas. They intentionally make them super shiny. I guess sex = sweat = shiny??

It's definitely not something unique to mods. A whole bunch of poo poo like porn mags oil the hell out of their models so they're as shiny as a new penny. I figure modders are just emulating that look.

Unless I'm not parsing the screenshot correctly I was under the impression that that is pretty much the correct way to hold a cat. If you don't support their hind legs/rear end that's when the claws come out and they start freaking out looking for something to grip.

What's this annoying puppet gimmick youtuber going to tell me about draken...... ohhhhhh it's the director. Nier's existence suddenly making a lot more sense

I see you are experiencing Yoko Taro firsthand for the first time. That confusion is normal and healthy.

Honestly there's no real "good" answer to violence vs sexuality in games; American culture - and probably culture in a lot of other places - is so inconcievably hosed that trying to reach any sort of consensus where things make sense and don't contradict each other is likely impossible. The hypocrisy is baked in to humanity, at this point.

I feel like the big problem with sexual violence - which is to say, rape - in a lot of media is that it's not presented as something "sick" and "wrong" as often as it should be unless there's actual torture or nonsexual violence involved. Nonsexualized violence has largely been something we've been desensitized to, but in general people can still see a fountain of blood and have a visceral "oh, that's not a good thing to happen" reaction. Contrast sexual abuse and rape, where the reaction is either abject denial or victim blaming and justification. Not "oh, that's awful" but "it didn't happen" or "you're getting your just desserts". There are a lot of people who act like that sort of thing is okay in the world, which is why there needs to be that much more outcry about it.

Therein lies the problem, yes.

People are generally able to look at a violent thing, even in fiction, and go "yes, this is a bad thing". In the other situation, so many people refuse to acknowledge it's even there.

I can't tell the source of the gun to be 100% sure (Gut is telling me it's from Doom 2016, though), but I think the knight is a Soulsborne boss, the level is obviously Peach's Castle from Mario 64 (with blown out Zelda music), and the HUD is a clusterfuck of Overwatch, Minecraft, LEGO Star Wars, Mario Kart, and something else I can't place.

It's hard to really pick up on fine details while you're playing the game, but now that I see it side by side... well, that actually is kinda legitimately not much of a difference. I don't think I would've even noticed the change in-game. There are rather too many enemies who are really just "sexy demon lady in very skimpy clothing" to begin with for that.

I didn't realize that the first boss didn't flagrantly have giant nipples in the unmodded game until I was looking through the enemy list later in the game. I mean seriously, look at that before and after and tell me that you could tell the difference if you didn't know to look for it.
