    Buh? Is GTA a Kojima game?

    I thought we were talking about games in general at that point.

    We may have and I'm just a dumb. I was just talking Kojima tho.

    Yep
    you can find it in the mountains near the abandoned snowy town where you start the game. It's just sitting up on a cliff looking at the landscape and occasionally saying "Papa?"

    I put one in the back of its head and sat and looked at nothing for a long time

    The thing is, when it comes to stuff like nudity, the major publishers and games can totally push against this and allow it to be accepted. A video game generation ago for most of it you could not actually show nudity at all and keep your M rating. By the end of that generation and through all of this console generation, partial/full nudity became an accepted thing for video games to do, especially as a major publisher/game. GTA 5, The Witcher series, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Saints Row, God of War, etc. Almost exclusively though, its been female breasts that have gotten the go ahead, with a few exceptions.

    For a game like Death Stranding, if they really wanted to, could have had a fully animated Penis for Sam to urinate out of, and would not have gotten slapped with an AO rating. It was Kojima's weird ass auteur game, he could have done it and gotten minimal to zero push back.

    I'm trying to think of any case where female nudity was utilized for anything aside to titilate, or illustrate vulnerability, and I can't think of a single example.

    The only one that comes to my mind, and only because I just recently saw it, was AC Origins. Some of the NPC women in towns walk around topless, and not just “they’re around a brothel so they’re topless” but “regular farmer out collecting their harvest” people.

    in gaming? you get a lot of horrortits in fantasy games, usually when they're trying to show enemy types that are supposed to be grotesque or misshapen

    Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that search results that include the word breast or tits or whatever in the description will trend towards boobs that still register as boobish to their audience.

    People aren't describing nightmare creatures with grotesque desexualized breasts with the phrase 'horrortits' nearly as often as they're describing out-of-place-perfect-breasts, regardless of the frequency of one or the other.

    That's a search that's definitely more likely to pull up Quelaags and whatnot (though I suspect there are more out-of-place-perfect-tits than appropriately-horror-fied-tits).

    I've been playing the Halo campaigns for the last couple of weeks and man

    even though military sci-fi is totally not my thing

    Bungie are so good at that weird alchemy of design, of aesthetics, and things that are hard to quantify

    I love the way the guns feel and sound; I love the look of the battle rifle, the Master Chief, the warthog, the pelican; their skyboxes hold up almost twenty years later, and they've got some of the all-time best music to ever be featured in a videogame.

    I legit enjoy being in this world even though the premise - a space war against aliens told from the military's perspective and also there's zombies - doesn't really do much for me on paper.

    there are a lot of highlights in that ending, especially if you actually solve the murder, but Kim's unvarnished glee at discovering you used to be a gym teacher has got to be one of the best payoffs I've ever seen

    Talking about it made me start playing through The Surge again.

    Say what you will about anything else in the game, I really appreciate the way they contrast between faux-benevolent tech company PR and libertarian reality, escalated even more sci-fi and dystopian but still wholly recognizable.

    If we still got to deal in hard copy, isn't it about time to whip up some kind of read-only flash drive? Ten discs seems like the point to make the switch.

    I've been thinking about getting a USB DVD drive just to check out the occasional movie from the library. At this point, I'm pretty sure Fury Road is never going to come to a streaming service I subscribe to, and it's just there on the Feature Films shelf, taunting me.

    The game is only 150gb. I'm guessing they cheaped out and went with single layer blu-rays.

    I believe the game can go well over 150GB if you want to use the highest quality textures and world detail and don't want to download them on the fly from MS' servers.
