In this game about accidentally touching everyone's rear end, at one point you are forced into arrears

I buy plenty of shameful garbage for myself but this one was legit a gift. I hadn't even heard of it until the steam gift popped up and my friend started asking me to stream it.

Hentai's already the second most searched for term on Pornhub, and most of its competition is incest stuff. Normalcy left this place a long time ago, so what's a few pixel butts really.

huh. I liked the existence of garbage $1 million-achievement games because they demonstrated the inherent stupidity of achievement scores


hopefully they don't start treating achievements seriously, the utility for unlocking all your achievements without even playing the game is kinda the only way to opt out of cheevo crap

I would prefer not to see anything related to achievements. the hack means they are static and unchanging, because I've already "earned" all of them.

There is already the option for server side achievements that SAM can't activate. Most devs just don't use them.

OTOH I have a relaxed and sane approach to lovely games cluttering up a digital store, which is to ignore them. I guess we all have our unique little OCD triggers in this modern world.

The problem with trash games cluttering Steam is it affects people's livelihoods, not because it is unsightly. But I'm sure it's just OCD, yeah, thanks

Just one more thing!
Does the steam client have an easy to access button that just shows a list of releases in chronological order and if not why not? It feels like I always have to scroll down to featured, then new releases, then click to see more, then it shows me popular new releases, then I click for see all and then sometimes I have to sort by release date from there. I feel like the way I browse I'd miss out on fewer actual interesting things if it wasn't such a pain to just see what's new.

I think they hide the chronological list of new releases on purpose to keep you from drowning in the poo poo.

The crappiest thing about this (and there's a LOT of crap) is that I recognize some of those models from the Unity Asset Store. They couldn't even be bothered to make original lovely anime characters. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire project is just a bunch of templated movement / camera controllers slapped on purchased/stolen assets.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


In the end, I am fine with steam having games with violence and nudity. What I want steam to crack down on is the flood of poo poo that is so low effort that it makes Bad Rats look like a triumph of the modern age.


At the very least, cordon off the obvious trash games to their own specific section of the store. Put visual novels and anime filth in their own section as well. There’s no reason those should be sharing the same space as actual games from developers who put at least a little effort into their work.

100% agreed

And that section should be the front page.
