I thought the gaming world was over the sexist thing; apparently I was wrong

I’d hate to tell her that the gaming world still isn’t entirely over it 25 years later

      I assume Pelit- this would’ve been in the mid 2000s before the Xbox 360 hit the scene since I had mostly stopped reading print gaming media by then

      I think there was also Pelaaja (?) but it just wasn’t as good as Pelit

          What do you mean? I remember one issue having a comic strip where the main character went out and killed every Finland Swedish person with a katana because he misunderstood a quest in an RPG or something

          Incredible comedy

        my brother used to have subscription to it in the 90s and I read all of those so many times, just marveling at the pretty pictures. They would probably not hold up very well if I actually read them today.

          I seem to recall they were at least not as cringy/horny as many other gaming magazines

          Though the 90s cringe is what makes browsing these OPM issues on the Internet Archive so fun
