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. Though Rikku as above and Kairi from Kingdom Hearts came later on up there

I'm still kind of sad that we didn't get a heavy metal 2020. We got one in 1980, we got one in 2000. They should have released one in 2020. As a backup, they should have released one this year. As a backup, they should release one sometime. Come on, heavy metal people. Release another fucking movie.

I guess there were plans for one that turned into the Netflix show Love, Death, and Robots. Which I mean, has some great episodes, but it's no Heavy Metal. Not nearly enough titties and zero Loc-nar.

Tails, when I was maybe six? I had very confusing feelings about him.

Shameen from Quest for Glory.

Brandywine from Kyrandia.

Renamon.

I didn’t learn what a “furry” was until I was a young in the early 00s, many many years later.

Did she always have spiral pupils and a weird scar on her cheek?

Firiona Vie, is one that jumps out. Maybe not the first, but the one I can remember.

Probably Lara Croft. Highly pixelated poontang never looked so good

Amicus.

I never really crushed on VG characters before or since. And it's not even really a video game (it's a VN). 🤷‍♂️

Why does the image look like it’s hallucinated by a LLM?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

ugh... 'back then' for a wii game hurts

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.
