    I love the art and sound of PC98 games, I just wish they weren’t all so full of porn.

    EDIT: The author of this article is dead to me. They called Hideo Kojima “problematic.”

    This author is a serious prude. They have an interesting definition of Otaku and makes it seem as if all doujin were porn.

    Ah, I recognize the style but didn’t realize that it was specific to one computer. It’s cool to see various niche traced back to where they came from, over 20 years later and one PC is still having ripple effects on art today
