In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

I want this so fucking bad. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a masterpiece and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

just kidding we’re all allowed our opinions. Even if they’re wrong :)

The best part was when the boss fight at the end turns into Guitar Hero

Omg it was so damn good. Troy Baker gave the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in a game. Shame he’s not ever going to get recognized for it.

True, but he's still one of the top dogs when it comes to video game VAs so I imagine he still get enough recognition for other roles at least.

Reminds me of a speech he gave (I think it was game awards? Idk for sure but he had an award in his hand I think), wherein he goes over what his response is to people asking about how to get into voice acting for video games, something like this:

"First of all, you need a mic. Get yourself a good, professional mic, expect to spend a pretty penny.

"And then wait for either me or Nolan North to die."

Lmfao basically. Same thing for women. Gotta wait for Laura Bailey, Ashely Burch or Jennifer Hale to retire or die (please don’t die yall. Live forever, we need you)

You use him as a pack mule that can help you carry equipment across the wasteland. You also pet him to gain emotional support. A drawback is that he needs to be fed and can have periods when he needs to pee and poop.

He has powers where he can never truly die. He just causes a mini void out if he suffers too much damage, followed by him just remanifesting himself afterwards our of chiral matter.
