QBert came to suck dick and to move laterally, and he's all out of lateral moves

The real reason you couldn't make sexy peach, sexy mario, sexy dongkey kuck, and sexy one-ball-sack-with-micropenis (forgot its name) as game characters today is because of puritanical payment processor aggrements.

Is Qbert supposed to have fur? I always pictured him as just a little ball creature.

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

I thought the same thing! It looks like in more modern incarnations he's smooth, but in the original arcade art he's furry.

~~Peach~~ Pauline has no nose and it looks like QBert is trying to make up the difference.
