Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:<snip> No one was judging you or the other person for downloading the video game. poo poo I grabbed it. No one said it made you a better or worse of a person for grabbing a free game. But if people are having a perfectly reasonable conversation about the developers responsible for a game, yeah you're being a dick if you just run in and post how you don't care and why do people care I don't care so why do they care. It's also very obvious that the people who jump to post stuff like that actually do care quite a bit. TGLT fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Dec 22, 2020 |

But if the dev of a small indie game happens to be a bigot, well you're just a loving terrible person for even considering that maybe you might want to pick up a free game made by them.

Brigador is an excellent game, shame one of the devs was a lovely person. If you care about that here's your chance to get the excellent game without giving money to the bigot.

More generally though, whats the line for what media creators I need to vet before I can enjoy them properly and responsibly? Hearing a new song on the radio do I need to quick look up who it is and get their loving life story before the song ends or else I'm complicit? How far back is the statute of limitations on media? is there a line to burn my CDs and books that have problematic associations over the years? can u explain why when someone said "hey the guy who made this is a piece of poo poo" you went "i don't care" and when someone said "maybe you should" you immediately went with "well how am I supposed to know he's a piece of poo poo" when your stupid outburst was about how someone told you he was a piece of poo poo with 0 effort on your part.

There's been few other, but not many: Overcooked, Into the Breach, Kingdoms: New Lands, Abzu, Enter the Gungeon. Torchlight 2 and Inside will be repeats as well! But yeah, it's good that they're circling back to some games that people might have missed (Inside especially)! Google sheet of freebies to date E: Inside is probably the day after tomorrow, going by the list that's been correct so far: quote:

I don't want to engage with this too heavily because it's personal, but the Brigador poo poo has been blown drastically out of proportion. Gauss, the dev in question and a goon, said some lovely things- I don't think this comes as much of a surprise. People in this thread calling him a literal nazi are just looking for someone to smear, though. The Brigador server that he helped found and run has always been a place of kindness, inclusiveness, and tolerance. This is not how a nazi manages a community, and I think that should speak for itself. Anyway, Brigador is a good game. I don't blame anyone for passing up a game for moral reasons, feel free to miss it if you don't feel comfortable with it, there are a lot of good games out there. I know gauss well enough that it's painful to watch him get smeared by people who don't care for any of the nuance of the situation and just like to bring drama around. Not gonna talk about it more from here, I always hate it when people poo poo up the free games thread, but I don't want to let this slide.

I closed the brigador thread many months ago and it was part of what lead me to burning out and getting some co-mods immediately. It was a horrid situation and please can we not turn this thread into a similar one. People are well within their rights not to play this game, even if free. I always appreciate people giving information out about game creators (or all media creators) if it helps you make decisions about whom and what to support. Yes, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but so what? People are allowed to make more choices from that part on (like buying games only from Itch.io if you feel steam and epic and gog have too much of a stronghold and wish to support creators more). I think we have covered what the brigador guy did enough in this thread (or view the absolute minefield of awfulness that the actual Brigador thread became during the Lowtax incident) and we do not need to leap to their defense for anything else. Please enjoy the free games you wish to enjoy.

I can't imagine watching DDLC rather than playing it. It's impossible to talk about the game without spoilers, but there are several points where you'll ask yourself "What happens if I try doing [x] or [y]?" and it's extremely satisfying to try out these different things for yourself.

I will say I never had played any of those Japanese visual novel or whatever the genre is properly called before, but it came highly recommended and was assured it'd be worth it. So as an outsider I found the first 90 minutes super boring but the second 90 minutes completely made it worth it. A wild ride for sure.
