angstylittlecatboy, do games w The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.

I believe the only reason adult games aren’t as popular in Western countries as they are in Japan (and I think elsewhere in Asia?) is because there’s a stereotype that they’re low quality, which came about because of the ESRB (not sure about other countries’ rating systems) basically making it so there was no money in it in a pre-digital download world.

Sunflier,

there’s a stereotype that they’re low quality

Basically this. Why would I want to risk buying a trash perv game when theres stuff like Mass Effect or Baldur’s Gate?

Oh man! You’ve just giving me something that I think will really help stoke the fire in my relationship!

I’ve never really been into sexual roleplay and it’s one of the things my partner previously expressed an interest in. We regularly game together either doing co-op or single player since we feel it’s more engaging sometimes than zoning out on a movie., so the recommendations like “Leap of Love” sounds like the perfect gaming/drinking night that might kinda dip into the roleplaying aspect!

I really wish I claimed it when I saw it, just a few clicks and I’m kicking myself for it now. Are there any others you or anyone else would recommend that are more fantasy roleplay focused and might be good for two people?

nightlily,

That’s a difficult one. Due to their target audience, a lot of them are more focused on storytelling (usually limited gameplay and more reading along in a choose your own adventure style) for a single player. What you’re describing is a bit of an untapped market, but give F95zone.to a look and you might find something. It’s a site dedicated to collating freely available adult games (with ways to support the authors linked). It’s where a lot of the games OP talks about found their audience.

grue,

I’m suddenly wondering if horny multiplayer games for couples is already a thing, or if it’s an untapped market.

trslim, do games w The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.

I’ve been into nsfw games for a while, but I do genuinely enjoy a lot of them. Corruption of Champions 2 is a great game, with a lot of customization and great characters, though it is apparent that the game isn’t finished yet.

Tales of Androgyny has some of the highest quality scenes I’ve encountered in an nsfw game. It’s also pretty funny. More games should have a femboy protagonist, is all I’m saying.

It’s not out just yet, but it sounded like they’re close based on the discussion board. Demo took me an hour or two to run through, worth the time if you like the subject matter. Quinn is adorbs.

Sounds promising, I’ll check it out!

cerebralhawks, do games w Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?

Been wondering this, or something like this.

I used to be good at Mario 1, but I cannot play it on emulators. It feels like there’s a delay. It feels a little like Mario is on ice, much like the ice levels of Mario 2. Mario is running, and I want to jump or stop, but there’s a noticeable delay and it makes me feel like my old ass has lost my touch. But playing any modern game, my reflexes are good enough. In a Nintendo to Nintendo comparison, I play Animal Crossing on the Switch, and sure enough, if I’m running and pull back on the stick, my villager skids at exactly the time I want them to. But on that same Switch with the same controller, I can’t control Mario in Mario 1 worth a damn. I do just fine in Super Mario Wonder, though.

(Side note, more to do with Animal Crossing than older games, but I’ve noticed a wired controller, plugged into the Switch dock via USB, with the Switch on the dock, gets more latency than the Switch in handheld mode, which I’m pretty sure uses Bluetooth to connect to its controllers, even if they’re physically connected — not 100% sure on that. But for one example, fishing — even the five-star rarity fish — is quite easy in handheld. But, with the wired connection, I mash A as soon as the fish bites, and it still slips my hook. Maybe the latency isn’t from the controller to the dock to the Switch, maybe it’s from the Switch to the dock to the TV (and speakers since I close my eyes and listen for the sound, which most animal crossers agree is the best way to fish).)

dustyData,

It’s mostly the TV. The input difference between wired and BT should be very small, though the switch is not optimized for wired controllers. The variability of TV response times on the other hand it massive in comparison. Specially modern TVs with heavy post processing who think they are clever trying to interpolate frames or other shit like bad HDR implementations, etc. HDMI DRM also adds latency.

All that causes most TVs to be subpar for gaming. I still game on TV, mostly cozy games. But I accept that nothing competitive will come out of gaming on a TV.

Its wild how gooning and porn are so normalized to the point they harass real woman in their comments and dms 24/7 but god forbid a porn game, I like them ocassionally, when I don’t want to be lazy and I’m in a gaming mood, it’s like reading some Choose your own adventure erotica with visuals, but the story is porn story adjacent

dil,

It seems less bad to me, I actually have to use my brain a little, idk I get bored using the same content daily, every one in a while I’ll use vr, comics, books, or a game, but tbh whenever I start to need something extra like that I just don’t jerk off for a day to normalize, don’t want to enter the gooner mindset

Deyis,

Possibly one of the best soundtracks of all time.

henfredemars, do gaming w Who plays Animal Crossings New Horizons?

My wife used to enjoy this game until her mother started playing. I should ask her about playing again.

Geodad,

It’s my chill out game. I have heard people talk about Stardew Valley, but I can’t seem to find the physical cartridge, and I’m ideologically opposed to completely digital licensing.

henfredemars, (edited )

I love Stardew! Definitely my favorite chillout game, but I think it’s a little bit less chill than Animal Crossing because it feels like there’s never enough time to do everything in an in-game day.

I only ever played the PC version of Stardew. This might not be totally accurate, but I understand it started on PC.

Geodad,

I’ll have to look into that. If it’s on PC, I can get it and play it with Proton/WINE.

Micromot,

Stardew runs natively on linux

Geodad,

Sweet! 🥰

Micromot,

You will have to see if you like it though, as it can be a bit different from animal crossing. It has a similar vibe to it though

TehPers,

Make sure to look at mods! Stardew Valley has a ton of awesome mods, ranging from full on expansions to replacing the game with Pong.

@slauraure@beehaw.org avatar

No idea how available they are but I know they exist. I also know many releases on Switch were made in limited numbers and thus are really expensive on the secondhand market.

GOG also has it DRM-free if you decide to go the PC route.

TehPers,

Back when I was playing it, I believe it’d work just fine without the steamapi DLL if purchased through Steam.

Plus, the modding scene is big enough that these days you can pretty much compile the PC version of the game from source, assuming you can find a suitably cleaned up decompiled version of it. (Do pay for a license if you go this route, it’s definitely worth the price.)

No idea about the Switch port. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s harder to find though due to the Switch being more locked down in general.

slauraure,
@slauraure@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, it’s generally up to the publishers if they want to use DRM on Steam or not.

Still GOG lets you download offline installers. Then you can archive them however you please. It’s probably worth something for someone not keen on borrowing digital licenses. Only real thing you’re giving up is Steam achievements.

My experience with it on Switch is great. Couldn’t tell it apart from PC honestly and it is well suited for handheld play. Guess it all comes down to availability of cartridges. One thing with the cartridge though is that when Nintendo kills off the patch servers and you decide to play again, it will most likely be whatever version is on the cartridge (still better than no game!). Normally this doesn’t bother me one bit, but this game has gotten a lot of updates adding a significant amount of content. An archived installer from a version you actually played will probably feel more worthwhile to revisit in 15 years or whatever.

itsgallus, do gaming w just got Shadow of the Colossus for my PS5 today, amazing and beautiful game thus far.

It’s such a liminal game. Love it. Some colossi are frustrating, though, but remember they all have a strategy to them — the battles are like puzzles. Don’t be ashamed to look up the solutions if you get stuck. They still take some skill to carry out once you’ve figured them out.

IVII0, do zapytajszmer w Kofeina, kofeina, co zamiast niej

Bieganie. Albo jakakolwiek aktywność fizyczna. Miałem o tyle problem z kawą, że mi zaczęła rozwalać żołądek. I dowolnym innym źródłem kofeiny też, bo raczej pijałem yerba mate niż kawę, i mate w zasadzie działała jeszcze mocniej na rewolucje żołądkowe.

Nie ukrywam też, że od kilku miesięcy, albo w zasadzie półtora roku się po prostu spasłem - dostałem samochód służbowy i wiadomo, wszędzie samochodem, praca przy biurku 3/2 hybryda, więc samego chodzenia nie było wiele. Powiedziałem dość.

Wstaję o 6 i zanim zacznę myśleć, że mi się nie chce, że może jutro, że w sumie to trochę źle się czuje, a może będzie padać, a może za zimno, to padam na ziemię, 30 pompek, zakładam buty na nogi i wychodzę z domu. Czyli wychodzę jakoś 6:10.

Przebiegnięcie 2-3km w spokojnym-średnim tempie nie zajmuje więcej niż 20 minut. Brak czasu nie może być tu wymówką.

I nie potrzebuję żadnej kofeiny. Jak wracam, zimny prysznic żeby szybko się ochłodzić i jestem żywszy niż jakbym i pięć litrów kawy wypił.

Guilty Gear Strive just got a big balance patch and a matchmaking update, and it’s great to be back. The experience of playing the game is better than ever.

I’ve still been going through Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It remains the best game I’ve played this year. I’m working my way through the Brushes With Death DLC, which has some interesting mission design if not the most compelling narrative. I think I’ve done all the side quests I planned to do before finishing the game, so I’ve got the last third or so of the main quest to return to after I finish the DLC. Then the second expansion comes out early next month.

I also started playing Mafia: Definitive Edition, and boy have I missed crime drama stories in video games. This one is pretty by-the-numbers when it comes to gameplay, but after 4 hours, they’ve got plenty of interesting set pieces and narrative beats. I’m very much into this. I plan to play through the next two games before picking up The Old Country.

Other than those, I’ve got a project I’m working on to set up a VPN that I control, rather than trusting an external service whose terms of service could change at any time, so that I can play old LAN games with my friends in this era of live service multiplayer games. Once I get it all sorted out and working, maybe I’ll write up a post here so others can do the same.
