Nutaku’s Hentai Hot Sauce is back in stock after selling 2,500 bottles in just a single hour. Last May, we were able to get our hands on a bottle of Hentai Hot Sauce.

The last decade has seen virtual reality technology become not just viable but steadily improved upon. One of the most recent examples of this is a new Oculus Quest 2 update this month that allows the headset to run apps at a refresh rate of 90hz (which is equivalent to a framerate of 90fps). That’s a decent step up from the original Quest’s max rate of 72hz, but now it’s being teased that it might be able to go even further in the future, all the way to 120hz....

There is, however, one glaring omission; one incredible franchise that is missing from the Switch library....

Even in 2020, playing video games can come with lots of stereotypes attached: The nerdy male gamer; the little kids playing Mario; or even the obsessed Call of Duty playing teenager.
