Update:
Finished lunch with my sister. We had a long discussion.
I told my sister her requests felt weird to me and I asked for more context.
She started off that she thinks the female designs, mannerisms and violence in my Tekken game are inappropriate towards women, and she doesn't want her husband taking part in that aspect of the game. She added that she is not asking that I not play Tekken with him, just that I refrain from picking Lili and other characters that are scantily clad in her eyes. There are some details she shared about her husband's past that I will not share, but know that she isn't jealous of the tekken ladies please.

I feel the Lili design is tame, and I told her that there are crazier designs by far in games, but still I get what she is saying overall. I used Lili's tekken 6 original white outfit with the short skirt for those that are wondering.

I asked her about my gifts and Bloodborne. She said I should know that she does not want things with "spirits," or dark ritual stuff in her household. She's decided to take a religious position and wants to set her home up as a "christian home." She added that she hopes I keep this in mind when I buy gifts for any future kids down the road.

ok many here are probably thinking this is nuts, but although I DISAGREE with her assessment of what is appropriate for her home - its her home. I did ask her what her husband thought of all this, bloodborne, etc, and she said she didn't know. She added if I were one of her husbands friends she would not intervene on her husband's behalf like this, but that I'm her brother so she felt more obliged in her view to come to me.

So yeah. I told her I have no intentions of "corrupting" her home, but that while I will respect her wishes I also want her to respect that I disagree with her stance on Bloodborne at least and asked her to keep an open mind.

Phew! What a day. She actually started tearing up a bit because she started realizing I was very conflicted, and she also doesn't want to harm our relationship as siblings over video games of all things. I told her if I give a gift in the future that bothers her, to know I'm not trying to meddle purposely and to sort it out between her and her husband.
My intention behind bloodborne and tekken after all was that I find them amazing and want to share them :-)

Hail satan and boners.

The correct course of action is to raise your concerns but respect her wishes, which you seem to have mostly done. Condolences on your sex maddened brother in law who is easily seduced by frilly skirts, stockings, and witchcraft.

The correct course of action is relentlessly make fun of your crazy religious sister and hide harry potter books and satanic pentacles all around her house in hopes of triggering a heart attack

Twist ending: The husband begged his wife to find some way to end the one-sided "friendship" between himself and his clingy stepbrother and this is the best solution they could come up with.

Depending on what version of Christianity she's going with her attitude towards Bloodborne makes sense since it's like the single most Catholic video game ever made.

I got frustrated with SoulCalibur and played a bit of Tekken 7 after not having played since probably the first DLC.

I just want to share my bewilderment at the autocombos in multiplayer.
