New Games Suck... Or Is It Just Me?

No kink shaming here

If you pushed me to choose, I don't know if futanari or muscular woman porn disturbs me more.

I am pretty sure I've promoted my kink hardcore multiple times in that FFXI confession thread and RT lol. My kink isn't futanari.

Listen here, buddy. Sweetbaby ruined Batman and that alone is enough to blame them for the increase in my power bill.

The *** audacity to check me on my rage

Whatever it is I don't want to know.

Back on topic - Drakengard 3 doesn't load for me, gives a nondescript error. Nier is rendering all in white so can't see anything atm.

Fixed the graphics, forgot how long ago PS3 graphics were.

You're a Dark Knight - you know all about unchecked rage

It's your loss then ;)

Me either.

I like girl with glasses…

Yeah, i want to condemn my kids to have poor sight.

Funny enough, even being bizarre this derail, i dont think it made this thread worse than what already is

I blame Godfry for posting men cosplaying women picture....

I worked hard to post cute anime waifus in different threads but woke ranters just has to post something even they dislike and make everything ***.

There needs to be a distinction between fit women that are natural and fit women that take steroids and hormones to "enhance their performance" and by enhance performance I mean stop having periods all together and gain the testosterone levels of a 15-year old boy just hitting the peak of puberty.

Abby from TLOU looks like she been on Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and clenbuterol (artificial testosterone and steroid) since she was a pre-teen and has not missed a cycle since. Does she look female? Not a natural one, no. A bodybuilder that decided to go pro and took all the gear known to human kind, sure.

I had to explain this to my ex-gf who was confused why the 25 year-old CIS female soccer player on TV looked so much like a man.

I had to point out the heavy acne all over her face and upper chest, the very prominent cheek bones, <10% body fat, the bulging Adam's apple, the hair growth on her arms, the super buffed up forearms and thighs and tell her that all of those things are side effects of heavy steroid use over years. Not that she looked bad as such, just not natural. I think the same about men that take a ton of gear to look bigger and end up looking like the michelin man.

Natural female bodies are very feminine, just fit. Fit bodies are hot(ter), objectively, and this goes for both men and women. Sure there are people that dislike the fit look or prefer a softer look, talking on average and majority here.

My guy over at BroScienceLife has a complete breakdown of all the stages of the fitness gal:



Wrt to tomboys in popular culture - a great example is Kaylee from firefly.



She's a mechanic and a good one, most the time dressed in overalls and covered in grease. But she goes into her bedroom and it looks like a 14 year-old girl's room with the cutesy posters and pink lights. When she's not working she likes to dress up feminine and look nice, do her hair and makeup and wear "princess dresses". It does not make her any less of a bad *** to be feminine when she's not working.

Her job does not define her. It is not who she is, it is what she does and what she is good at. She is still a cute female and very feminine outside her work. She does not need to compete with a guy and win at arm wrestling to prove how good an engineer she is, everyone can see that by her work.

Or Starbuck from the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. She was even gender swapped from the original, but I prefer Katee Sackhof's portrayal of Starbuck than the 70s original. Not because she's female but because she's good at the role, is convincing as a badass fighter pilot, has the body to convince me she's an actual fighter pilot but doesn't look like she went on a 6 month crash course in "how many steroids can I take without killing myself" and at the same time doesn't pretend to be anything but a female woman.

You have zero idea of what you're talking about:
- HGH abuse really *** does not look like that at all, it causes growth of internal organs causing a typical "bubble gut" look that is really, really hard to miss. It's also really unpopular among female bodybuilders for a number of reasons.
- Clenbuterol is a beta2-agonist, it's definitely not a steroid and it has nothing at all to do with testosterone whatsoever. Beta2-agonists are a big family of stuff that for the most part works really good as asthma medications, tho some are precursors to meth, and have a side effect of making lipocytes slightly happier to mobilize the fat they store, thus aiding weight loss. Clen specifically has a veeery slight effect of promoting muscle building because something something satellite cell proliferation if memory serves. Clen abuse does not make you look like a "bodybuilder that decided to go pro and took all the gear known to human kind", abusing testosterone and testosterone derivative does.
- This is what a bunch of "budybuilder that decided to go pro and took all the gear known to manking" look like:
Abby from TLOU looks a little more muscular than the average woman as will any woman that exercise enough, case in point: Any second rate gymnast will look more muscular than that IR - and gymnastitcs is famously a sport with little to no use of steroids because they make tendons and ligaments brittle, and the added mass is a detriment to the sport. If anything gymnastics used to have an anorexia problem, but I digress

It's almost as if humanity is varied and some genetic and biological men have lower testosterone while some genetic and biological women have higher testosterone. Mind blowing, I know.

I'll admit I don't know what heavy HGH use looks like in women nor researched clenbuterol. It was a joke.

But no, sorry, Abby doesn't look "a little more muscular than the average woman", she looks like a man's ideal physique. A rather large man's.

I think I've seen every fitness body type, male and female, that has existed since the mid 90s.

Never seen any natural woman that looks like Abby in any gym. Seen many like what you posted above though.

Jordynne Grace (wrestler) looks like shes on all the juice, and yet she still looks more feminine than Abby.

I am under the impression that women having DSD(disorders of sex development) condition could ended up having a body like Abby's, since it changes hormones to the point that's closer to male. However, if the creators intend to create a female character with DSD condition, she should have a deeper voice. And maybe the dev should at least confirm it in the story or in interviews. So maybe they didn't intend to create a character with DSD.

I think it's more likely just 3D artists didn't research enough and *** up on anatomy when they sculpt.

If CNC isn't going to work because the woman is stronger than me, she wouldn't be for me.

Most people on steroids do not look like the hulk, it's about dosage, diet and excercise routine. Huge numbers of people use steroids, and claim to be and pass for natural.

Also Abby was supposed to be hated, the director intentionally did what he did. That's why he had her kill Joel with a golf club, he intentionally made her look that way and made her hated.

He even added a sex scene that was awful.

Everything about that character was to make people hate her.

Abby doesn't look like a strong woman. He doesn't even look that strong. He looks like a dude who transed a year before shooting TOLU. Likely hasn't even chopped off the sausage yet.

Good.


That was hilarious, obviously a caricature but that kernel of truth it was makes it so funny.

People need to understand there is a massive distinction between fit girls / guys and people doing cycles of tren. Natural fitness will get you to a certain nice look but it's not gonna get you a pro card or win championships. You simple won't be able to compete at the highest levels in pro sports.

Homo Sapiens have a natural super serum that gives them high levels of strength and stamina. Free testosterone, measured in nanograms per deciliter of blood (ng/dL) is the hormone responsible for building, repairing and maintaining muscle and bone. The male version of homo sapiens inherently has 10~14x the amount of this super serum as the female variant. Performance enhancing steroids are just artificial versions of this serum or it's many analogues.

Yeah it's not even close, a women's "healthy" free testosterone range is deep into mans "emergency, see doctor now" range. Funny thing, start pumping testosterone into a women beyond her natural range and she starts developing masculine features. Anyone who's been around the competitive power lifting arena can spot this a mile away.

Dudes can pass for natural nowadays because they are on cycles and sacrificing potential gains to keep the dosage low and not cranking themselves into 2000+ ng/dl. Women though, it's just not possible. You simply can't go from 48 ng/dl (healthy athletic female) to 450 ng/dl (average healthy male) without causing serious physical changes.

Just for comparison professional male athletes have 800~1000 ng/dl of free testosterone.

I swear some of ya'll need this

The rationale given in more recent days has been more of a gameplay one - she was meant to play more like Joel, so, it made sense for her to be larger to support that. Whether it was logical in-universe, or executed well... /shrug. Been debated ever since the game came out.

Having just run through the remaster last week though, I don't think the intent was for players to continue hating her.

They kill a beloved character that was masterfully crafted - a father figure that overcomes loss and grief to protect Ellie. The way they developed the bond between Ellie and Joe was just perfect.

Then they replace these two with a trans dude and a bald chinese kid. The modern audience must have loved it.

My theory about the last of us 2 is that he didn't want to make the sequel, but was made to make it. When you're made to do something and there is incredible fan pressure to do so, you can intentionally ruin it and make fans not want a 3rd one (so you don't have to make another sequel and can go make a brand new game).

If 2 had done well, and was loved they would have been forced to make 3.

As we enter some sexual discussion, conveniently we also enter the page 69!

First one was definitely done in such a way that it needed no sequel, but Neil Druckmann has said he goes for that with every project.

Part II did do very well, almost in the top 10 PS4 games just from that version, much less what the PS5 and imminent PC versions will do. They haven't committed to a third yet, but have said it's possible. Just wouldn't be until after Intergalactic.

He's also suggested that they may opt to just write an ending for the franchise as part of the HBO show.

He was a Bard, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?

Had the biggest crush on her growing up, still think she's hot.
