“Blood soaked grass is the telltale sign that a game of Kaosball has been played. From the bone crunching tackles, head smashing blocks, and outright murder of the other team to the fast paced passing and high scoring strategies, Kaosball is the ultimate sports fantasy game of total domination! Play as one of the great pop culture and fantasy themed teams in this crazy mix of football, rugby-style passing finesse, magic, bone crunching action and deadly area control scoring!”
I feel that their specific interpretation of some of the pop culture and fantasy tropes means some of these players are at a very distinct disadvantage and woefully unprepared for an ultra-violent ball game.
I also feel this has reached peak “not quite steampunk”

Alison Mercer. If her name sounds familiar, well, she’s been on the jousting circuit for quite a while (her own photo album on it for context)
Now that’s some seriously sweet armor!

Mighty Magiswords

So Cartoon Network has a new series called “Mighty Magiswords” about a pair of adventurers who do adventurey stuff. This is an image of one of the two leads,Vambre, as she evolved through the years before the show got picked up.
Far left is her original incarnation around 1996.
Second from left is her look to about 2006.
Then in 2007, someone stole her pants (probably creepy marketing guy) and they haven’t been seen since.
…sigh…
So over the years of design refinement not only did her skin become noticeably lighter, she also acquired a stereotypical leotard that so rarely gets worn by male characters, huh?
The show even makes “you have no pants” jokes, to which Vambre responds “Stop judging my bare legs decision and accept me for who I am!”… With no real satirical twist on it or anything – they just reproduce the cliche and address it’s there, as it that was inherently comedic.

All from Chaos Chronical.
You get fantastical monsters, robots, decent story, but apparently it’s impossible to design practical armor for women. The jiggle physics on the idle animation is insane.
At this point underboob has basically become a shorthand for a developer who doesn’t know how boobs work or why they should probably subscribe to @boobsdontworkthatway.
Literally every woman in this game seems to dress more or less same way, regardless of whether she’s a warrior, wizard, shopkeeper or divine being:
Playing this game seems a shakey basis on which to build friendships.
