My point was that steams curating sucks and there always seems to be more tags missing. Really idgaf if you need big, amorphous anime tits in your game. It's fine. But if I say no anime, no nudity god damnit I don't wanna see Touhou Battletheatre YES! Toilet action SRPG.

Steam knows what you actually want

My experience with the Store browsing is that I installed Linux on my machine and wanted to see games that had native support (or at least a fully featured wrapper), and after putting that filter on I had hundreds of choose your own adventure games that all displayed different text over the same window.

I get tag sorting exists but it’s unfortunate I risk losing Hatoful Boyfriend or something trying to lose carbon copy interactive fiction apps.

Whereas on Epic, you installed Linux on your machine and wanted to see games that had native support and found there was no way to determine that other than clicking every single game individually. Hence Epic Games is the better option? And hey, you know another way to lose Hatoful Boyfriend? Using EGS, which does not have Hatoful Boyfriend.

There's obviously room for more curation in video games, but I don't know why you're going to going to trust Epic Games to be that curator when there is concrete evidence that they care more about getting an exclusive than getting a game that they themselves admit to thinking is good. If you simply want less stuff to look at, just only ever look for stuff on steam you've already heard of- because that's literally what Epic is doing anyway, looking for things people have already heard of.

Ehh because it's a mess like with all things Epic, but if you want it, the whole thing would be this: You can find news articles saying they're committing to Linux, then you find tweets from Sergei about how they have nobody on the team who's working on Linux for the client/games, then you come across them partnering with Lutris for Linux support but in the comments people are saying this doesn't work even with games that have native Linux support like Transistor being sold on the EGS, the whole Easy Anti-Cheat debacle, etc...

And then, of course, as part of the Easy Anti-Cheat thing:



Meanwhile Valve have pushed the whole Proton thing pretty hard and have been committed to Linux for a good long while now so idk, if I was on Linux I know what company seemed more committed to my OS. :shrug:

Yeah on the one hand there is definitely a "where there's smoke, there's fire" effect to some degree when it comes to big anime tiddies. On the other hand just seeing any anime character with big boobs and concluding it's a porn game with no other info is jumping the gun a bit. Final Fantasy 7 isn't a porn game, but everyone knows Tifa is the Big Boobs Girl.

my dearest claire,

the war continues, and i am on the front lines. the gamer fuel is in low supply; we are almost out of berry-flavored winsauce. i think of our nights on the veranda, playing puyo puyo tetris. i was puyo puyo, you were tetris. i think of the night i took purchase of our couch cushions and taught our children the value of a fort night. the cold nights under the moon where we laid amongst the stars, unable to get the light sensor on the boktai cartridge to work. i think of these things as I plunge my teabag into the face of the corpse of my enemy. i look upon the enemy, and realize that the enemy... is me.

I was angry at the size of her boobs in the original release of FF7. Each one more up one third of her body mass.

sorry i forget is this the epic games store thread where people melting down over the fact that they have to download an additional app to play videogames because epic keeps buying them all out is de rigeur or is it some different thread where actually gamers pitching hissy fits is some extreme minority that can barely be said to even exist

This is how I interpret it.

I mean we live in the Digital Age of Lies so I understand that telling truth from fiction is difficult. Basically, if I see headlines that claim "people are mad about some poo poo!" but I can never find any real person mad about it, I assume it's bunk.

Pertinent example: internet headlines say people are mad about Epic Games Store. I can find people who are mad about the Epic Games store, so I can believe it. Headlines said people were mad about the final season of Game of Thrones. I can find people who say the final season was trash and hate it, so I believe it.

I have never directly encountered anyone, anywhere, who was angry about the size of Tifa's boobs that wasn't obviously meme posting for lols. So I don't believe it. And if you have to deliberately search in order to uncover a single person upset about it... that means they represent essentially no-one.

Maybe I'm wrong. That's what happens when literally everything that occurs or exists get headlines that claim people are angry about it. There is rarely a way to be certain about anything anymore.

People complaining that "Strategy" tag shows then Siege or that "RPG" tag shows them some RPGMaker poo poo clearly don't know how to use tags.
There are a poo poo ton of specific tags like "Turn-Based Strategy", "Real-Time Strategy", "Party-Based RPG", "CRPG" etc etc etc whatever the gently caress you're looking for. You can even combine tags.

Steam's search could've had way more options but it's way better than you make it out to be.
