      Taiwan makes everything anthropomorphic! They’ve got an anthropomorphic version of the mass damper on top of the Taipei 101:

          What I actually read was:

          Please put an NSFW tag on this comment. I was in a meeting and when I saw this I had to start furiously rubbing my nipples like I was being peed on. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the HR, it happened again”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this comment. Now there is a whole meeting full of men rubbing their nipples together at this one comment. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged your comment NSFW.

    Why is it humanoid at all, and why are there several dark spots that could be for cameras that have a clear view of where you’ll be hanging loose?

      Ubisoft is already paying devs to make piss, we dont need to give it to them for free.

    If they’re going to give this thing arms and a head, they should at least let you piss in its mouth.
