I guarantee the author and his friends did the same thing. He's a late Gen-Xer. It's not like he grew up during the Great Depression. Video games were a thing when he was a kid.

Seriously. The author of that piece is completely full of shit. He’s in his early 40s, which means he grew up with video games too. I guarantee that once he and his friends finished building that beloved childhood fort, they immediately fired up the Atari 2600 for a Joust marathon. Dude’s a fucking late Gen-Xer but…

Yep. There is a reason for the old adage ‘Youth is wasted on the young.’ Kids never appreciate all the energy, free time, and lack of responsibilities they have as kids.  They just complain about being bored and look forward to all the adult things they aren’t allowed to do yet. We were all like this once. Nobody…

“’Don’t Starve Together?’

Mark Jackson is such an insufferable, arrogant, bigoted prick that he told HIS BOSS he was going to hell for being gay.

Call me old-fashioned, but where I come from, telling your boss to his face that he’s going to hell when he dies is considered a fireable offense.

Parent doesn’t understand why his kids are into different pop culture fads than he was as a child.

Op-Ed writing is, sadly, the easiest and most profitable thing for newspapers to fart out these days because it fills space, provokes reactions, but requires no actual reporting work (research, chasing leads, interviewing sources, fact-checking, etc).

Emily Ratajkowski's breasts aren't even close to Tifa's size in the new game. Even in her new outfit, those are like triple Ds.

Tifa’s tits are still huge in the new game renders. They’re simply real-world-huge now, not "weird corners of the internet" huge.

This.

And her tits are still huge in this picture. Better graphics simply mean they can show how big they are in more subtle ways (shadows, fabric stretching, etc).

Part of this is that the original game’s hardware had limited polygon and texture capabilities, so everyone’s features were EXTREMELY over-exaggerated. It was really the only way you could create visually-distinctive 3D character models back then. Cloud’s feet were bigger than his thighs, Barret’s hands were bigger…

LOL "B" cup. Only a kid who's never seen or touched a real pair of breasts in his life could possibly look at that image and think "B cup".

This entire “controversy” boils down to a handful of vocal weirdos who think they will have a harder time jerking off to Remake Tifa now that she’s wearing a supportive sports bra instead of a boobie bounce house.

No, it’s not a plot point in any way.

“but then I remembered he actually DID develop a stupid app for his stupid league”

I do this too. Fucking EVERY appliance now has some kind of standby light built in that always shines even when the device is off. All of them combined emit enough light to fuck up your sleep. I put electrical tape over all that shit.

This was my thought as well. If you need the same shit in every venue, have a roadie whose entire job is to haul it all for you from city to city and set it up in your room before you arrive.
