noooo pp-hardening lady can't possible not want to fuck me!!!
Being invested in Tomb Raider lore is as incomprehensible to me as being into Frogger lore. How many people could possibly care about this?
frogger actually has a very rich and compelling lore. in one game, for instance, he can jump very high. and in another he extend his tongue very far. there's also a game where you get to see his feet
Sometimes stories are like food. I can enjoy a finely crafted meal and it is very delicious. Sometimes though... junk food and unhealthy stuff just calls to you. You enjoy it for a bit but afterwards you admire it wasn't that great.
Some games, some manga, and some manhua especially fall under junk food for me, but I of course like reading full novels and the like too.
That's fine. I'm not trying to gatekeep. I'm just venting at daft gamers
I like the old games and the stories around them. Granted I've never dabbled in the games post 2013-reboot or the comic books.
Old Lara was really simple. She just wanted cool things to decorate her giant British manor with and was willing to kill anyone and anything to get them
When I was younger I didn't think much of it in games like this, but when you go back and play something like Far Cry 3 or Tomb Raider (2013) and you realize how many people you kill along the way... goddamn.
If you were a true fan of the series and not a reactionary nerd clout chasing you'd know Lara has always been a lesbian. Core tried to shoehorn her in a male love interest and it fell flat on it's face and failed. So it's the most unsurprising news ever.
Tomb Raider in 1996: Lara is Lesbian!
G*mers in 1996: Cool! (For reasons)
Tomb Raider in 2023: Lara is Lesbian!
G*mers in 2023: Honestly, this feels forced. Why would they change it all these years later?
G*mers are so bigoted today that it overrides their sex drive lmfao
The only thing I remember about the story of the 2013 game is that they get shipwrecked and Lara calls out Saaaaaam! a lot. Definitely seemed like they were a couple to me
they get shipwrecked and Lara calls out Saaaaaam! a lot
inspired by that one glitch in heavy rain, the new lara croft game will have a feature where anytime you press X, you call out for sam and whatever you might be saying gets replaced with you screaming for sam.
she looks like she goes to hot topic and buys clothes to steal valor from gay people. that's all i got here
I demand a retvrn to tradition with enormous polygon boobs not woke fleshy boobs for Lara
enormous polygon boobs
the fact that they were shaped like pyramids was actually really deep symbolism for the fact that she would often go inside of pyramids
I mean me and all the other lesbians were the ones excited for the 2013 reboot in middle school. Not a single boy I knew played that game. We went to game stop in droves for Tomh Raider.
boo fucking hoo a woman's dating another woman, wah wah wah, this is an international incident 😭😭😭
death to the fragile cishets
Didnt gamers felt its gay if their female playable character dates a guy lmao.
solution here is to have lara get railed by some guy with a big dick in first person
totally wont make anyone realize anything
Lara using men the way James Bond uses women would provoke a gamer backlash.
Didn't Lara's terrible first PS2 entry add a second playable character who was the most blandly "2000 cool guy" in existence

They tried to make him Lara's love interest and it failed lol
I don't think they were cannibals, just religious nutters. Evidentially I didn't remember the game that well because I thought Lara and Sam were sisters
I thought they were a couple, but its not like the story was memorable or compelling enough to make any interpretation worth remembering. It was fun though
because I thought Lara and Sam were sisters
More like cousins, lmao
i think the subtext was written bigger than the actual text on that one. if lara were a dude, i don't think anyone would be doubting the romance, but some straight people are incapable of seeing gay love no matter how blatant it is.
Melonie Mac took such a sharp turn. I remember watching her let's play of a game and she was this sweet bubbly gamer type like Pokimane. Then I think she got married to a marine dude and quickly turned into an anti-SJW poster.
I don't think you would end up marrying a marine if you aren't cringe already but maybe I am wrong.
most likely. Every US marine I've ever met told me their name and that they were a marine every single time when first meeting them. It's always funny when I find out they were a cook, engineer, or a reserve that's never seen combat.
