this cosplay has been in development for what seems like a decade and a half! glad to see it finally finished.

Cabrini Green was really rough and controlled by gangs. Because of the design, it ended up almost being like a fortress for crime (although by no means was everyone who lived there a criminal—that’s not what I mean), and the police sort of gave up trying. It no longer exists though, and the neighborhood gentrified. It…

cornrows are a very specific type of braid, tight to the scalp. but braiding in all it’s various forms is pretty universal... europeans have always braided their hair as well.

Because Satoru Iwata died.

In the past (pre-prevalance of internet and internet streaming), E3's relevance was in it’s ability to showcase a lot of new games. Back then even the small announcements were a shock.

So correcting someone is considered “pedantic” and “obnoxious” these days, is it? I guess we ought to let the dumbing down of the English language continue unabated for fear of being deemed obnoxiously pedantic. And silly me, I thought all those English teachers that were correcting the mistakes of school children…

Someone needs to tell you that you’re being “that guy”, and no one likes “that guy”.

Someone needs to tell the guy that when he says “Pretty fuckin’ cool, if I do say so myself” he is actually crediting himself, that is what that saying means. Like, if I were to make a delicious roast then upon eating it say “That was pretty fuckin’ good, if I do say so myself” that would fit.

For me the more depressing part was when manuals started being replaced with PoS, three-page, black-and-white warning information manuals instead.

Yup.

There’s so many fan remakes of existing IPs that get shuttered so often (remember Streets of Rage?) that I wish these folks would channel those talents into an original project, free from cease-and-desisting. It just feels like a waste of time when it gets killed, and that’s coming from someone who did manual roster…

I seldom get to post this.

Even the things that look nice enough are put together so strangely. I could fuck with the pink sequin turtleneck, but why put it with the python skirt? Or the blue brocade bustier, but not under an early-2000's long flyaway cardi. Why dye a nice fur stole muddy green?

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

Damn, even the models seem to be walking extra fast like they just wanna get it over with.

There are plenty of people who did not support systematic racism and bear a hatred to someone for their ethnicity. What point are you even trying to make?
