My entry for the magic meat week and a small birthday doodle for @pinguinmitbrille! I hope you like it Dear! Marcus the vampire at your service.
For this Friday post, digging something out of the @magicmeatweek tag!
Everyone knows vampires are overtly sexy, so it’s fitting to see one wear a male equivalent to bikini and heels that are clearly for looks rather than function!
The happy trail leading up to his thong is a nice touch, too.

soldiers still wouldn’t appear in multiplayer.”Heavy sighing. (h/t @cypheroftyr via Twitter.)
What’s a worse argument to not have women in your combat-heavy game than “they’re too hard to animate”? “Historically, female warriors are unrealistic”, of course! And how to add to the injury? Insult your intended demographic by saying THEY are the one who won’t believe it!
It’s not like games have potential to educate and widen the player’s horizons, right?
Considering the developer is so totally concerned with “realism” (as understood by pubescent boys), @pointandclickbait has a great suggestion to what historically accurate thing should be included instead of soldier women:

Look at some of the Lovely armor in this game I found
Some of these games I swear that the game story aspects and the actual game art must be designed by two different teams.
