@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

100 % of proceeds are transferred automatically to the Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation, one of Ukraine’s largest and most trusted NGOs.

This is a very reputable charity organisation. Serhiy Prytula is a well known comedian in Ukraine who has been working on charity work since the full scale invasion.

If you have more than $8 to spare there is also “Come back alive”:

This is… A whole lot of games.

I did love tunic, fantastic game, easily worth that price on its own.

I’ve never played cook serve delicious, but it’s been on my radar. I’ll have to give this a shot. Heh, there are some tabletop games and rulesets on this list, could be some hidden gems in there. Honestly, this is a big enough bundle to be worth just buying on principle, and sorting it out later. So what if I don’t end up playing 400 of these titles, if I end up liking 10, that’s a fabulous deal, and all for charity!

vfsh,

Cool Serve Delicious is tons of fun, my favorite coop cooking game for sure. My wife and I play it constantly

It looks like there are a few games I was slightly interested in trying at some point, but not enough to buy them, but having so many together as a single purchase, I couldn’t resist. I even paid the default price of $20 instead of $10.

The point of this is obviously the charity, but I’m not gonna lie, after a quick look at the included games, if Tunic wasn’t in this bundle I would feel ripped off paying $10 for it.

I don’t see any of those other games combined being worth $10 to me. Multiple visual novels / story games, puzzle games, and many games that look like a generic Kemco published RPG Maker game but with a pastel color palette this time. Again, I get that the point of this is charity, but Tunic is literally the only game that I would say brings value to this bundle. If someone already owns Tunic and is considering this, I would say to just directly donate the money.

MurrayL,

Besides Tunic, there are still several good to great games in the first dozen (and no doubt a bunch more if you’re willing to dig into the smaller indies):

  • Cook, Serve, Delicious - Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 3,631) all time
  • Hoa - Very Positive (89% of 2,098) all time
  • Tangle Tower - Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 4,760) all time
  • Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Very Positive (93% of 8,480) all time
  • Whispering Willows - Very Positive (81% of 1,166) all time
  • Hidden Folks - Overwhelmingly Positive (97% of 7,333) all time
  • Eldritch - Very Positive (88% of 1,673) all time
  • They Bleed Pixels - Very Positive (84% of 2,014) all time
gonzo-rand19,

God... Cook, Serve, Delicious! is so fucking good. Tbh, I still think it's the best one even though I have all of them.

Really? 1 doesn’t let you do advance meal prep, whereas CSD2 does (I haven’t tried CSD3 yet). Anyway, both 2 and 2 are in this bundle.

gonzo-rand19,

Yeah, I prefer the gameplay in 1 because it's more fun and fast-paced to me. You can disagree if you want, doesn't affect my enjoyment at all. I'm confused why I got downvoted for my opinion.

Flagstaff,
@Flagstaff@programming.dev avatar

I didn’t downvote you! I only downvote trolls. Anyway, that’s fair, since the lack of prep forces players to be quick on the trigger, so to speak. I guess I seek a bit more “realism” in a sense, since actual restaurants always prep. I wonder if 3 might strike a decent medium…

gonzo-rand19,

You don't have to support every bundle if you don't like the games. Trashing the bundles you don't like is just sorta lame. It also covertly mocks the people who are interested in buying it.

Inb4 a comment about how most of these aren't digital games so this bundle is useless.

Glide,

If someone already owns Tunic and is considering this, I would say to just directly donate the money.

Or just like… Donate through the bundle and consider trying out some minor projects created by people who are trying to make something cool? Why turn down access to these games out of some form of perceived superiority? This notion that since you’ve never heard of these other titles they can’t possible offer anything of value to you is kind of a spit in the face of struggling artists of all types.

Flagstaff,
@Flagstaff@programming.dev avatar

I actually disliked Tunic, just saying. I got more enjoyment out of Cosmic Express and Delver (and I didn’t even like the final fight in Delver). Whatever floats your boat…

mnemonicmonkeys,

Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs

Flagstaff,
@Flagstaff@programming.dev avatar

Yes, it was the cheap camera tricks obscuring parts of the map that you could go to that did it for me. It was, like, basically making you check for every possible secret despite the limited abilities of no camera control nor destructible terrain… I get that there was an era of games with this mindset (sorta like some Metroid-&-other games, I suppose), but I just don’t have time for that any more.

This may sound odd to some, but my stance towards quality games is: punish fairly. Life is hard enough as it is so I don’t need a game also going, “Haha, well, screw you here, too.” Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Elevator7009sAlt,

To each their own. I have no idea what Tunic is, I got it for

  • charity
  • Cook Serve Delicious
  • Blobun
  • Octodad

The fact you say it has lots of VNs and puzzle games suggests there is more in the bundle I’ll like if I just explore more as those genres are to my taste.

Dran_Arcana,

Octodad is unironically worth $10

catloaf,

Yeah, all bundles have been like this. A few good ones and the rest hardly even worth playing for free.

But if you want to donate directly, you can do that here: www.coreresponse.org

Charity navigator gives them a 98% and four stars: www.charitynavigator.org/ein/271703237

Artyom,

Pfft! You sound like an Octopus pretending to be a real dad, you can’t fool me!

Kelly,

I bought it because my son has been asking for Skatebird, but we also enjoyed an hour playing Ripped Pants at Work together and I’ll give Delver a go later tonight.

Thats the thing with bundles, different titles will appeal to different people.

    Yes, you install them through desktop mode then load them into steam as a non steam game. Then they’ll show up in game mode. There’s also a decky plugin that easily lets you add artwork for the steam entry

    @PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

    The ‘SteamGridDB’ plugin is the one which does this!

    smeg,

    The quick check is to search for a game on Proton DB and see how well it runs (usually pretty well!)

    davidgro, do games w HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit Game Bundle - $25 for 30 games

    For some reason they don’t mention in the description that most or all of these games are not videogames, they are tabletop role playing game manuals. (The digital downloads are .pdf files)

    Nothing wrong with that of course, but it certainly seems like an important detail.

    Catoblepas,

    In the collection description I guess it doesn’t, but if you click on any of the games included it’s clear that they’re tabletop role playing games (some even have it in the title icon). I can edit the post to include that if people think it’s misleading, though

    donuts,

    Actually, I searched some more and they did say things, so here’s a new post: lemmy.world/post/22975147

    nutsack,

    i wish they would both be buried in lawsuits. companies that act like this are detrimental

    davidgro, do games w Itch.io back online

    That reminds me… Is the entire .io domain still planning to end or did that get resolved?

    donuts,

    Don’t think it was ever “planned” to end, it’s just unsure how Mauritius will handle the ccTLD, right?

    davidgro,

    Yeah, I didn’t get a good wording there. I just mean is it still up in the air?

    donuts,

    It is, all I found was this from October: domainnamewire.com/…/io-domain-names-arent-going-…

    merthyr1831,

    Mauritius won’t get the rights to .io, it’s already held by a British corporation. Unless there’s some kind of change since then.

    merthyr1831,

    The top-level domains for the soviet union still exist, so io isn’t gonna go, especially since it’s so popular

    davidgro,

    From what I read, the policy of removing domains when the county stops existing was directly based on what happened with .su so that never happens again.

    echodot,

    I wish people would stop saying this. That was a political decision from decades ago back when the internet was far smaller. It has no bearing on today where the political situation here is completely different and not only that but the internet is far larger and the ICANN are far more powerful.

    Back in the 1980s they didn’t have the political clout to really be able to enforce anything. They just have to basically accept it as a fader complete, not so anymore

    They’re like the action figure version of Roblox.

    AlexanderESmith,

    Well, Roblox (who, yes, can get giga-fucked) exploits child labor and is just generally fucking creepy with kids.

    Funko is just a shitty waste of money, and I've been sick of their fad bullshit for years now.

    sensiblepuffin,
    @sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world avatar

    Funko partners with every Youtuber and semi-public figure under the sun to make figurines of them so they can then sell them to their (usually underage) audiences. That’s the comparison I was making.

    AlexanderESmith,

    Ah. Yeah good point.

    gofsckyourself,

    I mean, the real culprit is the shitty service they used to help manage DMCA/Copyright claims for them. Granted, it was a dumbass move to use that service in the first place, but I doubt they knew it would wind up doing this kind of thing.

    On a separate note, Funko toys are fucking dumb.

    caseofthematts, (edited )

    Fun fact: Funko’s current CEO is the ex-president of Wizards of the Coast!

    Why is this relevant? Well, under her leadership, WotC sent pinkerton agents to someone’s home to threaten them because they got some Magic the Gathering cards early. She said things like Dungeons & Dragons players were under-monetised, pushing to make the Table Top game more like a microtransaction-filled video game, and helped with the OGL scandal.

    The OGL, for anyone unfamiliar, was an Open Gaming License WotC had for years with D&D 3rd party creators. It allowed certain things to be created using D&D mechanics and lore by anyone that followed its guidelines and allowances. A couple years ago, WotC tried to change that so they would make more money off of people trying to create things for D&D - to profit off of indie creators passionate about the game. There was a huge backlash, and they eventually went back on this decision.

    All this to say, you can see what kind of leader the current Funko CEO is, and what’s happening with itch isn’t surprising to me.

    Paradachshund, do gaming w We have been pirated; we're a real game studio now! · by Safety Stoat Studios (December 04, 2024)

    I learned when I released an unsuccessful mobile game a couple years ago that there are apparently automated piracy sites out there. I say that because we found a seemingly hacked version of the game on some sketchy app sites just a week after releasing it (and nobody knew about our game, so I highly doubt it was done by hand).

    thingsiplay,

    But this game is a physical cartridge for an old console. It’s not just patching and rereleasing in digital form. And it will be shipped in a box. So this is not something that can be automated (at least not by everyone, other than Amazon maybe).

    Paradachshund,

    Totally agreed on that. Sorry didn’t mean to derail the thread. I just thought someone might be interested to know about the automated stuff.

    thingsiplay,

    No need for sorry and its understandable. Especially if one of your games or products are stolen or used without the license, and therefor want to bring attention to the subject. I can not even imagine how much automation must exist in the web, that’s only job is to steal and “repackage” data just to sell it on another platform. Happens with videos, with blog posts, with photos, … games… and basically anything one can imagine.

    Paradachshund,

    I was really shocked at the speed of it. Very surreal experience.

    Moonrise2473,

    There are a lot of websites that pretend to give you a hacked version but all the download button does is to show more ads. They just automatically fill pages with automatically stolen content from play store

    Paradachshund,

    Sounds believable. We definitely didn’t download it so I couldn’t say for sure.

    Megaman_EXE,

    I was curious, so I looked through to see what games I at least know of/have seen before.

    A short hike (I liked it, it’s definitely worth playing)

    Wandersong

    Bleed 2

    Coffee talk (played a bit of it, An interesting visual novel)

    Fetum betula(I REALLY liked it. This is worth the price of the bundle alone, in my opinion. It’s not super long, but it’s creepy/unsettling)

    Anodyne(I didn’t finish this one, but I enjoyed it enough. It seemed to have good reviews)

    Note: Projects in this bundle are hidden in your library by default until you first access them in order to avoid flooding your library. You can return to this page at any time to access any projects you wish to show in your library.

    I don’t get this part though. Itch did this before for another big bundle.

    It seems like accessing the game page is not “access”. So I guess it’s downloading or installing them?

    In the itch app I don’t even see them in my library?
