I like to think of this as “doomed Yuri” as frommi puts it

^^ If you need another point of comparison check the Dawn/Pokemon image that by this artist that was uploaded here previously and just look at the clues in the background.

There's a pretty good video on YouTube that does pretty well in explaining their whole schtick. It's a little clickbaity, but even in the video they admit it's only controversial in the sense that no one ever expects the dark humor or how they seem to be able to consistently pump out an absurd amount of high quality art in a short amount of time.

She could be straddling her with her shirt off and Sora would still think it's a friend thing

Not Yuri

^ Judging from past Cesarzebrah art, smearing cake on each other's face is just a thing between these two, it was the intended and inevitable outcome.

I frel like there should be a "meme fornat" tag

^^ Is there any evidence about the "banned in germany" claim, besides the original tweet having been removed since (internationally, it seems)? Because, uh... I can see him just fine. Nor is that really how german laws work. (Not that the microblogging service wouldn't care for them anyway.) So to me this seems like a rumour to gain clout.

^^ They didn't make any money because they shadow dropped the game on to a service that was guaranteed to sabotage itself.

And by the time the game released on to other platforms, several months later, it was still a linear single player game with no cross save or progress importing and was still available to play at a cheaper price.

Though, to play devils advocate against myself, Tango closing down probably had more to do with Ghostwire bombing spectacularly as it was the game they were developing alongside HiFi, which was exponentially more costly produce, and probably had the much bigger impact on the lack of turnover on their investment.

I live in germany and I can see their stuff on twitter just fine

You see, what we have here is a classic "Sandwich aux Lys" or as its more commonly known a "Yuri Sandwich. Very nice.

Khyle at it again

"Twilight dear, when I told you to love yourself, this is NOT what I meant."

Look, fellas, we all love Vernetto but hear me out...

Druvis x Lilya.

^given the tail placement, it has to be a plug.

Look at the guns on Troll-chan :O She aint getting bullied no more.

@Swag Wagon: Yeah click baity is how I'd describe their art.

@Zesc and @DaZero Ah okay, good to know then thanks. I just remembered something about them getting banned in Germany when they put out that art because Twitter was making a big deal about it. So I wonder what's up with that, maybe it was temporary? The only thing I can find off hand is this Reddit post talking about it at the time, https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/10odec3/this_filipino_artists_work_is_now_banned_on/

Weird, I remember months back seeing posts about how Hi-Fi Rush actually did well. Maybe they were wrong then. Still I think there should have been some way to save Tango, and land us the Hi-Fi Rush sequel, but alas. I do think we agree Hylarn, on that Microsoft needs supply better direction for their studios, and guide them. I believe Microsoft doesn't really know how to do that, or effectively run game studios.

Edit: Looking into it more from what I'm seeing of other discussions on the topic, I'm seeing people say Microsoft claimed the game was a success. Also people talking about the content of Swag Wagon's link, how if Microsoft wanted to make more money with it they wouldn't have put it on GamePass. A lot of people discussing how Microsoft's handling of GamePass isn't great.

Also you had the whole weird situation with Matt Booty afterwards, https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/8/24152137/xbox-hi-fi-rush-tango-gameworks-matt-booty

The situation is a confusing and messy headache overall.

^preach, one of the best yuri manhwa out there

^it's super hetero, filled with drama that will make you want to tear your hair out, so be cautious I guess. If you want to re-watch/re-read for Nanashipping then maybe don't do that.

What is that brown thing in front of Senshi suppoded to be? His own reflection?

I'm so glad this ship is still alive.

^Ya his reflection and then what looks like arm floaties next to it. I'm assuming they were Itzutsumi's

• Looks like. he is jumping into water.

Worth to remember that bigger companies are buying smaller ones for their technology or to get talented devs for their other, "more important" studios, not for the studio and their portfolio alone. Like with Ninja Theory. MC bought it for their face mocap tech.

Can I already say "fuck companies" on this site?
