The dress Tifa wore around Don Corneo and her bikini during the Costa Del Sol side plot should've sent these chuds into limit break overdrive, but I guess it made their depleted dicks deflate instead, lol

Funny enough, the OG FF7 wasn't trying to make Tifa look THAT big. It was primitive rendering that caused her XL bust. Tifa's remake design is more accurate to the original FF7 art. Even if SquareEnix toned down her look, they were far more worried about CERO, the JP ratings board, than the west.

They're still mad that Tifa's tits in FF7 remake doesn't look big enough, so they have to pretend like the PC mods are canon accurate. Yes. The same game with the HoneyBee Inn sequence and buxom blond dommy mommy Scarlett using Shinra troopers as human furniture isn't sexy enough for these people.

Nichols telling downtrodden minorities to be quiet when they're the ones being most brutally targeted by the GOP, just to make you white centrists comfortable, is exactly the reason why we're in this mess. Centrusts told progressives to shut up and vote for years. Maybe it's time for them to stfu.

Progressives have been critical of Bernie over the years, but the last I checked, he didn't suggest to water down our rhetoric to appease Trump like Nichols above But great whataboutism to deflect on Sanders, rather than the failures of Dem leaders like Jeffries or Schumer. Still bitter about 2016?

Turok and Perfect Dark also benefit from modern ports, which retain the feel of both titles but also provide better visuals, framerates, and controls to avoid the Goldeneye problem. With that said, Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64 are still fun and easy to play, even now. Saying otherwise is silly.

I can understand Goldeneye. I tried replaying it twice over the last decade, and both times, I quit after 30 minutes due to the unintuitive controls. Doom is 4 years older, yet somehow feels just as smooth as it did in 1993. Hell, even N64 Turok controls better, and Turok is boring as shit, lol
