A Skyrim player proves the desire for sexier male armor still exists over a decade later.

Gaming cosmetics are tricky, especially when it comes to armor. Woman characters are often oversexualized, while men are typically outfitted in proper, protective armor. When it comes to RPGs like Skyrim, there’s more flexibility since players aren’t locked into one selection. And, funnily enough, a large chunk of the playerbase is still fantasizing about more revealing armor options for the men of Skyrim.

Skyrim Player Calls Out Bethesda for Lacking Sexy Male Armor

Reddit user ThoseAreNiceShoes jokingly called out Bethesda for the stark difference between the male and female Vampire Armor, specifically the lack of chest cutouts on the male version. It might seem ridiculous to some, but the desire for sexier male armor extends back to Skyrim‘s early days.

Apex Legends Ships That Deserve Canon Romances https://www.gameskinny.com/culture/apex-legends-ships-that-deserve-canon-romances/ Thu, 09 May 2024 17:06:58 +0000 https://www.gameskinny.com/?p=181406

Apex Legends has a couple of canon romances, but there are even more popular ships deserving of that status.

Unlike some FPS games, Apex Legends has always prioritized character diversity and lore. Every Legend has their own backstory and reason for joining the Apex Games. With the myriad of relationships also comes the question of romance. The long-anticipated romantic pairing of Fuse and Bloodhound became official, and Loba, Valkyrie, and Bangalore’s messy love triangle is an ongoing epic. Yet, for as many relationships we have, there are even more Apex Legends ships deserving of canon romances. Here are some of the most popular.

Wattson and Crypto

Wattson and Crypto are one of Apex Legends‘ most enduring ships. Speculation started back in Season 5, only for a miscommunication about Crypto’s status as a mole in “The Broken Ghosts” quest to create a divide. The two have since moved on. Thanks to Crypto’s sister, we know he still “likes her a lot.” What that “a lot” means is up for interpretation, but Wattson’s subtle blush certainly seems to hint the two harbor feelings that extend beyond friendship. Oh, and it’s also worth mentioning that Wattson is the only Legend Crypto trusts enough to reveal his real name to. Why aren’t they canon yet?

Virginia Can Nerf the Most Annoying Texas Chainsaw Massacre Strat https://www.gameskinny.com/tips/virginia-stops-blood-rushing-strat-texas-chainsaw-massacre/ Tue, 09 Apr 2024 19:51:00 +0000 https://www.gameskinny.com/?p=178283

Blood rushing Grandpa becomes a thing of the past if Virginia earns a spot on your TCM team.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre might not be the oldest asymmetrical horror game out there, but it’s gone through phases nonetheless. Most recently, blood-rushing Grandpa to get him to Max Level while Hitchhiker surrounds him with traps became a popular strat among the Family. Even with the Agitator perk, it’s not easy for Victims to secure a win. Yet, that all changed with the introduction of Virginia, who — with the right build — can put an end to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre‘s most annoying strat.

How the Hitchhiker/Grandpa Trap Strat Became Meta

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has multiple perks, like Universal Donner and Surgical, that make Blood Harvesting more effective. Speed-feeding Grandpa isn’t anything new, but placing Hitchiker traps around him saw a sharp rise in popularity after YouTuber Arctik made a video demonstrating the strategy in early March. While he’s far from the first player to trap Grandpa, the technique spread through the community — and with experienced Killers, it’s difficult for Victims to counter.

In many ways, Ana is the main character of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Her Pain is Nothing ability reduces damage from attacks and falls, making her one of the only Victims who can withstand an overhead swing from Leatherface.

Leatherface

Leatherface is an iconic TCM character who wields a massive chainsaw. Reeving the chainsaw to achieve an overhead swing is the best way to deal big damage. Not only does the Maim ability injure Victims, but it also allows Leatherface to destroy doors and obstacles (something no other character can do). He’s definitely the most dangerous Killer. Once he catches a Victim out in the open, they’re pretty much dead. Two of his best unique perks include:
