The girl with the guitar from FLCL. I stayed up late to catch those episodes on adult swim back in the aughts… Haruharu Haruko or something I think? Take me now

@eru777@lemmy.world zelda from skyward sword probably! Bubbly personality and cute is all i needed to crush on a character back then...

ugh… ‘back then’ for a wii game hurts

I remember when I played ff10 thinking “Rikku is kind of hot”, and then reading she’s 15 in the fiction. 17 in the sequel where she’s even more naked. Nope. Why? Unnecessary. Just make her an adult!
At least ff7 Tifa is 20, which is still a little young. I didn’t have a big crush on her, but I did think her suplexing building sized monsters was hot.
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I guess when you’re a kid yourself you don’t realise it’s a lot more creepy when the writers, animators etc. are 20s, 30s, 40s…

She’s also not real

Viconia! Definitely my archetype. Strong and evil, but somehow vulnerable as well.
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Viconia is the reason I always go for the snarky, jaded and cynical character whenever it’s an option. She’s the “I can fix her” meme except you totally can and it’s amazing.
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 months ago
Innate spell resistance is hot.
Still mad about

Her appearance in bg3. I fixed her! She wasn’t evil anymore in my game!
Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 months ago

I’m still mad she freaking dies in the epilogue of BG2 if you romanced and redeemed her. Who thought that was a good idea for the ending to a hundred-hour character redemption arc? And how the hell does an epic-level cleric die to poison?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 months ago
Yeah I was pretty upset about Larian for that one. One of the best and most nuanced characters in BG2 reduced to a brainless cartoon caricature. Same goes for

Sarevok, whose entire Throne of Bhaal arc is ignored along with his character. Honestly I hated the whole murder tribunal.

Those are some perky triangles

I always appreciate the girls who go to conventions cosplaying as PS1 era Lara. It’s not a difficult costume to source, you need a pale blue tank top, brown shorts, brown boots, fingerless gloves, a little backpack, the pistol belt with the huge square buckle, and half a shoebox.

Those perky polygons gonna prep you pecker
wabafee@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Those triangles save quite a few fps.

Probably Lara Croft. Highly pixelated poontang never looked so good

They didn’t have enough pixels when I was kid.

Oh my god, fam! That’s such a deep cut! Love that game!! <3

<3 Have you heard that GOG is planing a remaster of that game? I don’t have any clue when it will be available though.

That’s probably about right, game came out in 92

Woah. The art is gorgeous. What’s the game?
Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 5 months ago
This was my favourite game as a kid.
I was full on obsessed (with the gameplay!)
I re-visit it once in a while and always have a good time.

Why does the image look like it’s hallucinated by a LLM?
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
For me, it’s the teeth, the hair spikes seem to be jutting in too many directions, and the basic layout and width of her face/head seem off.
DahGangalang@infosec.pub 5 months ago
It appears to be a widely circulated fan art, appearing on her page of the Fandom Wiki (though Tetsuya Nomura may be an official artist for FFX).
Point is that its accredited to an artist, so it would seem the missing teeth was intentional?

Rikku taking off her outer bodysuitb was probably a sexual awakening for a lot of young teenagers.

I had a save before the fmv and cried when I forgot and saved over it

Holy crap I thought I was the only one that played that game.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
It’s on Steam if you want to relive the experience.
Last time it was mentioned here on Lemmy I was surprised how many other people also thought they were the only one who played it.

Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.
