For a long time even as a horny teen I kinda looked at fan-service slop in games as really…disturbing? Not disturbing in a creepy way, but like disturbing in a “I don’t want to see your porn stash” kind of way, get what I mean? A lot of romances in games (mass effect) I felt to be really inflicted by “Written by a man” syndrome. That meme from M.E, “Let’s bang, okay?” is basically how I felt every game-romance went after like maybe a chapters-worth of interaction.
Then again, fictional romances don’t do it for me at all. They always feel too saccharine. If I hadn’t ever got into the dating world, was truly “gamer-brained” I would have assumed I’m aromantic or something.
Exactly. It’s like all of that but now it’s become a straight up streamlined commodity in games. Lara Croft is one of the first few examples I can think of that was deliberately over-sexualized. Now it feels like every game is trying to copy Overwatch.

I dunno, I guess I never had gamer-brain.

Team Fortress 2 isn’t perfect by any means but damn does it still remain the best comp. shooter game I’ve seen in the past two decades

Dirty Bomb (pbuh)
Splash Damage doesn’t know how to support multiplayer games.
Waifu skins? NO! Husbando Hats.
Forsaken, the first game advertised here, actually had a nude code for the female characters
I liked the game, just too bad about the extremely cringe marketing.

I liked it because I wanted more games like Descent
