knokelmaat, do gaming w Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.

I am the only one here thinking that Steam should have cracked down on incest themed porn games a long time ago?

Just to be clear, the title of this post is referring to porn games, but in actuality it is about games that literally feature incest (not the step-relative stuff that is so popular everywhere online). All major actual porn sites have rules against incest, but the biggest gaming marketplace on PC should allow it?

Just to make it clear, I find it detestable that this is done because of Visa, especially if this trend continues and suddenly other stuff becomes blocked, but in this case I feel it should have been done way earlier.

I’d hope it only refers to actual porn games. Would hate to see a game like RDR2 taken down because there’s a heavily implied incestuous relationship in the game.

kbobabob,

but in actuality it is about games that literally feature incest

A couple of things:

  1. So what? There’s probably all kinds of things out there you didn’t agree with.
  2. This is where they start. First they came for…
FairycorePhoebe,

I guess I don’t see an ethical difference between fictional “step” incest and fictional normal incest. In both cases it involves people that don’t exist. Plus all the ethical issues with incest carry over to step siblings anyway. The idea that one is ok and the other isn’t seems really silly to me.

I’m going to sleep in late as a reward to myself lol. If tomorrow’s screenshot is something relaxing like Minecraft or Animal Crossing everyone will know why

Congratulations on 1 year! I don’t read every day, but I’m glad when I do. Quite a commitment! Thanks so much for your contribution!

Thank you. It’s definitely a major undertaking from me and I’m glad to have made it this far

Congratulations on the anniversary!

Anything that you “have to” do daily can start to feel like a chore, so glad to see that you are still enjoying these. I, like some others, don’t read daily but do peek in to look at the screenshots, so it’s nice to follow your journey. If you want to start streaming or your own site someday, this will be a good exercise to get you used to playing and reviewing games.

Oh, and Project Zomboid stories are still my favourite ones! Looking forward to reading your further exploits.

To another year!

I almost considered Zomboid for tonight lol. I didn’t end up doing it though because my Wi-Fi is abhorrent and it would have taken too long to install. Thanks for the support too! Seeing familiar faces like yours throughout the year has gotten nice

What a journey! Thanks for sharing these over the past year 😁

It’s easy to say that Valve should make a stand, but wouldn’t be able to sell games anymore.

Yes, Bulbasaur.

A lot of teenagers don’t like being in photos, I never did. When I got older, I was to lazy to move out of the frame, and charmander aged me was like fuck it life is great

i really hope this won't affect yaoi and sapphic visual novels they're not really p*rn but given the way governments are using censorship to crack down on lgbtq communities and spaces i'm worried.

fluffykittycat,

It 100% will

TimewornTraveler,

queerness has been explicitly targeted

This reminded me of this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwTXCwqurNQ

Sega doesn’t care because it’s now owned by Sammy and Sammy wants the good PR from Sega.

I believe while Sonic games do sell well, they aren't huge enough for Sega to focus on them. Their other franchises like Persona, SMT, Yakuza/Like A Dragon etc perform way better.

Since they abandoned their consoles Sonic has been a mascot they use for franchising. Movies, tv shows, comics, tie-ins... They probably make way more money from those than video games

Sega had it very rough in the late 90s and 00s which didn’t help but recent time have been much improved for the blue hedgehog. I agree with what you’re saying though that the respect wasn’t there, for Sonic and even their company history.

bastionntb, do games w Why doesn't Sega care about Sonic?

Money. It’s always about money. If they think it will sell, they will do it. Plain and simple.

dwindling7373, do gaming w Open world RPGs need a standard feature whereby you can transfer your current clothing stats to any other equivalent piece of clothing in your inventory

No, fuck that. The dev should have better design here and there, but that’s the issue I have. I want an item to have an identity.

I have traded stats for easteticas and the oether way around, but it feels more grounded. Transmogrification feels like cheap metagaming cheat codes.

every time games let you do things like this for “quality of life” it’s basically dead to me, at that point why the fuck are you even playing the game? hey all of this running around on the football field is annoying, let’s just roll a dice to decide who scores a goal

Demdaru,

I second the general sentiment but…if it’s look wise, I don’t have such a hard feeling. Transmog is a bit much, but there are ways around like at least two sets of armor slots.

But overall yeah. People kinda seem hating playing games today. But also I too would be tired if 90% of games is grind…

dwindling7373,

Ah no I love rare, almost non existant battle gear vs casual gear mode easily swappable.

To be fair there’s probably a big unexplored gap in games when it comes to stats and gear, there’s something to be said about the fact you don’t wear the same clothes all the time, and you don’t do errands in full armour.

I’m not talking going full simulation there, but it’s objectively silly and disconnected to have a grounded world, like the witcher, and accepting that wearing a certain hat makes you fisically stronger.

I want my character to look how I want

For RP reasons or otherwise

If you don’t like it just don’t use this feature, it doesn’t even give an unfair advantage. It’s like complaining that Arthur Morgan can go get a haircut in RDR2

It doesn’t make quests easier, your analogy is bad.

mika_mika,

I like when gear selection has impact and choice in my roleplaying games.

If you choose to value aesthetically pleasing characters you should just accept you’ll be playing with the non-optimal stats.

The ability to bypass this by transferring stats between items so you can have optimal build does make the game easier.

Ideally game developers and artists should be including ways to have balanced gear stats and aesthetics, but transmog and the like is just lazy on their part.

I could use those items either way but they are unaesthetic. I cannot comprehend your POV on this. It doesn’t hurt you, doesn’t make your game worse it just gives an option to the people who want it.

jacksilver,

I agree with you, if equipment is just cosmetic, then at the end of the day why even bother with equipment at all? Just have cosmetics without stats and leave it at that.

I think fallout does a good job of this with having hazmat suits that help with rad, or “cool” attire that helps with bartering. The idea is that the design should complement the stats.

tatann, do gaming w Open world RPGs need a standard feature whereby you can transfer your current clothing stats to any other equivalent piece of clothing in your inventory

There are mods for that, if you’re on PC

I love the default armor and often keep using its visuals while using the griffin or wolven armor
