  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

1st Armada: "Awww, yeeeeah"
2nd Armada: "OK it didn't work out last time, but this time it's gonna slap"
3rd Armada: "...Third time's the charm...?"
4th Armada: "One more can't hurt I guess..."
