I see this little argument about Wonder Woman being brunette…
Reminder! Wonder Woman is within all of us, and sometimes, she has blonde hair like Sabrina Carpenter! 💫

The PS2 had some of the most ground-breaking games as well as a massive library. Shadow of the Collosus, Grand Theft Auto 3, Final Fantasy XI, Silent Hill 2, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, to name a few.
I keep seeing the phrase “PS2 graphics” used as an insult when talking about certain games.

Not every game needs to look real to look good. Art style > Fidelity, always.

You could also argue the PS2 had some of the most stylish games ever, so it just makes no sense to me.

Analysis of menstrual blood might hold clues to a woman’s reproductive health.

it is unique in that it may contain biomarkers that reflect the state of a uterus. It is different from blood drawn from a vein.

I hope to see where this goes.
