So if I follow:
I’m a man, and I’m not trash. Anyone who accuses me of being trash can f*** right off. I do not make any blanket apologies on behalf of the demographics to which I belong, nor do the actions of others define me. This applies to everyone regardless of demographic.
When I heard that the 2011 detective game L.A. Noire was getting remastered for current consoles, my first thought…

We were right to suspect something messed up was going on with the possession mechanic in Mario Odyssey. Cappy has a…
With these issues, it’s really not hard to not be a trash person.
They could change it to the Razorbacks
Tenacious D came up with this....
Split the difference, adopt the Penix as a mascot:

Or that you can borrow from the past in ways that don’t try to pretend the bad stuff didn’t happen or wasn’t a part of it.
To be honest. This is similar to the cylinder you have to air jump over in the tutorial.
If they remade The Witcher 1 in the 3rd game’s engine, I’d wager a TON of people would love it. It’s jank as hell but I love, love, love the first game
