    Wow. It didn’t have to say “escape.”

    This is random but I have you tagged in my Lemmy client as "Their friend did weird things with Ace Ventura 2." Can you please refresh me what this was about?

    At least a retro video game ad that isn't objectifying women bodies.

    Huh. I hear all the time about how the anime adaptations of Berserk fell flat after the original 2d release, but I've never heard of any Berserk games, much less one from 1999 for the Dreamcast.

    It's weird that so many old videogame ads have a general theme of making fun of people who play videogames in a crass mean spirited way

    I don't read that at all from the ad. It's just silly wordplay about jerking off; you'd see the same thing as a shitpost comment today. I think the only way to read it as mean-spirited is to project your own shame towards masturbation onto it.

    Capitalism for you. The videogame market crash taught game producers at the time that they need to market sexually to young boys to keep the industry alive....and well they did that.

    Kinda feel sorry for the girl. She looks so thrilled to be with him and he's failing to live in the moment with her. But now I'm overanalyzing a silly ad.

    I had a lime green one from target? And iirc it came with donkey Kong country. But that came when i was too old for Nintendo and if my timeline was right I moved over to PSP/runescape (classic).

    The sexism in that ad is weak sauce to this:

    I don't think that could be called sexism.

    Sex appeal? Sex sells? Sure, but how's it sexism? This is not prejudice against women or saying anything negative about them, quite the opposite? It says it's a beautiful naked woman

    From an advertising perspective this shit is so good.
