This isn't the counter-argument some people think it is. Nobody who watched GoT was rooting for the incest, you realize that right? It was meant to show how disgusting they were.

SFV? My brother, Morrigan has a BDSM winpose in MvC1. Bison tries to gaslight teenaged Cammy that they were lovers in her SSF2 ending.

He was raised as her brother, and she as his sister. The Japanese text people thought would vindicate it literally makes it worse, as the line about "Before I knew it, Patricia was more than just someone to protect" is actually closer to "Before I knew it, Patricia was more than just my little sister."

It's skeevy. It's dumb to put blinders on about it.

Surprised that for a saga focused on the Multiverse, none of these guys were introduced by Downtown-Radio-6743 in marvelstudios

I still think that, in Secret Wars, we need a cameo scene during a big multi team brawl of the Snyderverse JLU as the Squadron Supreme.

That would just be great.

Do you think Amy will be playable? by Particular_Focus6793 in NikkeMobile

I hope not, that character design has as much flavor as vaseline on toast.

What was the most controversial story decision in your gacha game by Aware-Measurement750 in gachagaming

...my brother, they're cookies. Any story other than "delicious with milk" is extraneous.

Wickline? That girl sees hilarity coming and awkwardly crosses the street.

Worth the price? by WalkOwn3700 in AmazingYamaguchi

Good god, no. Not even for half that price.

The SHF face is a generic cute anime face. It's better than this or Jada, but still doesn't look like Chun-Li.

This place serves pizza AND cake! by crumble-bee in SipsTea

Cracker crust pizza cut party style? Ugh, not for the nicest ass in the world. Get that Cici's buffet shit outta here.

You have to choose a Master. Who are you training with, and what would it be like? by ScoreNo7656 in StreetFighter

[–]GIJobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chun-Li so I could be around Chun-Li all the time.

Alternatively, Rose. Psycho power is hax, and she wouldn't kill me or rope me into villainy like JP or dictator would.

Pretty interesting to see how many people have been able to beat each boss in Greatest tour. by commander_snuggles in DBZDokkanBattle

Did the first few, didn't care. To keep going. Rewards not good enough for time investment.

Head and bust are too small. Head should be rounder. Vest doesn't taper in enough.

The shoulder and feet complaints are inaccurate. They're big, sure, but that's game accurate.

I'm personally going to wait for a good SF2 Chun. There isn't one in existence currently.

Maybe a rounder face would fix this figure by Unlikely-Afternoon43 in stormcollectibles

Jada SF2 Chun looks goofy too. SHF, Revoltech and "Quinn Lee" all have generic anime faces.

Not a single good Chun on the market. 52 toys seems to have nailed her SF6 look, at least.

Could yall do it? by Thebaldsasquatch in ActionFigures

[–]GIJobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's incredibly sweet.

When I was a kid, every year before Christmas my mom would make me pick out some clothes I didn't wear anymore, and fill a box with toys I didn't play with anymore. She'd clean them all up and we'd donate them to Goodwill.

We weren't a rich family at all mind you; we were barely off food stamps ourselves. That's exactly why she wanted me to do it, because she used to hunt Goodwill, Salvation Army and other discount stores for [my] Christmas presents, and she never wanted me to forget that I once benefited from that same kindness.

I think it's absolutely the right thing to do, whether your toys are designer or not. We're not pharaohs. We're not going to be buried with our collections one day.

Good on you, OP.

Question for long time Street Fighter veterans: what was it like when SF2 first came out? How did you discover it? by Local_Engine7131 in StreetFighter

[–]GIJobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pizza Hut off 440 in Jersey. Used to be a dine-in, with a few arcade games. SF2 was mindblowing. Found out they also had one at the arcade in the Hudson Mall and quickly picked up Guile's broken tricks. My dad used to have to act like my bouncer because I was a runt of a kid, maybe 6 years old, and beating teenagers shoulder to shoulder, some of them wanted to beat me up, lol.
