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.

Japan’s culture of hermetic male obsessives…sort of an primordial Incel, if you will

He, apparently:

Biz Davis is a producer & writer who's spent 20 years in the world of underground music, events and eventually advertising. His work focuses on obsessives and their obsessions, circular economies and cyberpunk aesthetics.

His work focuses on obsessives and their obsessions

then he should know better than make the false equivalence that otakus are all incels I guess

Pc-98 games were brilliant stories brought to life.

That was an intersting read. Anyone have links to these old games?

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
