@0xabad1dea That's a great article if you wanted to see a bunch of legalese with the phrase "Cookie's Bustle" in italics every other sentence.

I'm still not sure what a bustle has to do with a teddy bear named Cookie?

@spacehobo @0xabad1dea If you read the description of the game at the top you'd know that no matter what they name it it will never make sense. đŸ˜†
@nazokiyoubinbou @0xabad1dea Yeah, I definitely was intrigued by it, but realised that the title had hit semiotic collapse long before the first legal explanation!

@spacehobo @0xabad1dea If you really want to know pain and insanity, read the (warning: completely full of spoilers) synopsis on Wikipedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie's_Bustle

It sounds like someone got high and described everything they imagined and someone else wrote it down while also high and then they made it into a game anyway.

And I say this as someone who has watched some pretty crazy anime...

@nazokiyoubinbou @0xabad1dea I think "WHY COOKIE BUSTLE?" is going to replace "WHY COOKIE ROCKET?" in my cache of "WTF" expressions.
