creepy sex things are basically the origination of anime or manga (eat poo poo stymie)

my intro to anime went dragon ball z> ranma >la blue girl

i had a place that would rent out computer programs. we got our copies of windows up to 95 from them. they had signs all over the place about how pirating was bad and poo poo but the dude behind the counter was the one who sold us one of the first CD burners available and taught me how to use it

also where i discovered kings quest, mechwarrior, zork, wing commander and leisure suit larry. my old man didnt give a gently caress what i rented, so once again, i was neck deep in porn before i should have been

cant forget monkey island 1-3, those games were the fuckin jam

knights of sidonia did get some really impressive mileage out of exploring what happens to giant boobs in zero-g. they just stuck boob jiggles wherever they could (i.e. every character in every scene).

they even managed to give characters giant anime boobs who didn't have them originally, to maximize jiggling

honey i understand, but we just don't have money for expensive legs that are just going to go out of style again in six months. if you want to get a job yourself you can buy all the legs you want, but if you keep behaving like this we're not going to let you have any legs at all

and then poo poo gets more and more trendy and designery until they don't even work as legs any more and from the waist down the really fashionable people are just an onyx plinth that says feets by dre in small letters on the side and the fashionable people have to have a less fashionable person to move them from street corner to street corner where they will wait to be noticed while pretending to talk on their cell phones

also in star trek the federation has teleporters that rip you apart and kill you then instantly clone you right?

the borg uploads your consciousness into the cloud so you can just jump into whatever body you need or is useful

I'll take the borg
