Yes, same cut as everything else. 30% default, reducing with money made.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Does it do that thing where the image freezes while the game and audio keep going in the background? I had a similar problem with Final Fantasy 10 HD and messing with the graphics settings fixed it, although I'm not sure what it was that made the difference specifically.

10$ Sakura Gamer 2, Fox Adventure, MMO 3, other subtitles

As far as I know these are all low-tier visual novels meant for porn purposes without actually being porn. Am I wrong? Please tell me I'm wrong.

I consider myself an anime porn connoisseur, and the Sakura games are bottom-tier. Please find better anime-styled pornographic content to consume.

Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

So for Okami HD, what am I better off doing, keyboard or pulling out the 360 controller? I never touched the wii version, so I haven't played the game since it came out on ps2 way back when, if that matters.

Controller. Absolutely controller. The PC controls are a complete and total mess and they actually had to patch controller support back into it because people were outraged at just how lovely they are.

Wait, did they release that formerly console only game without a controller support and instead implemented awful kbm controls?

Sorry, after checking, it seems I mixed something up. It did come with controller support, but turning it on was handled entirely through the Steam Client, which apparently left a lot of people unable to find it at release and which is where the complaints came from.

The KBM controls are still poo poo, though.

endgame setups usually involve having full warehouses full of preserves jars and kegs

For some dumb reason it hadn't occurred to me to build more than a few

I'm still in Fall of the first year, how many should I build? I don't have any warehouses yet so I assume I can just put them on the side of my field.

just a heads-up if anyone wants to play Ori 2 early and were planning on using PC gamepass: it's extremely easy to do so, no VPN or anything required! Go to your windows settings panel, hit "time and language", go to "regions" on the left and switch to New Zealand. If you open up the windows store, the game will be there available to install and play.

The Sakura bundle is the best if you want to send a buddy a bunch of unlabled codes and they activate all of them then all of a sudden their Steam recommended algorithm trashes their front page.

Someone asked if Avorion was good (especially for solo play) - I also am wondering about that. A big old capital ship game with rpg-ish progression sounds really good, but the part based building might also be really fiddly? Anybody played it?
