I agree that there isn't much comedy value in posting porn games where the only notable thing about it is that it's porn but things like that furry hitler porn game are hilarious.

Yeah, agreed. Porn games that are clearly whacko should still be fair game, but "hentai puzzle game #416342" isn't worth posting about.

Given how there's over a hundred pages where it's just people posting their weird fetish poo poo in this thread, it's probably worth considering dumpstering and remaking the thread

Or not remaking. At this point the thread is pretty played out. It was laughing at weird fetish games and then asset flips and below minimal quality items that Steam's various issues inundate the platform with. The thread really doesn't see many posts beyond joking at a new porn game every so often and discussing legitimately terrible awful games that are just games that are bad isn't really viable either.

Even the occasional "wow look at this thing someone out there jacks it to" posts aren't really funny anymore.

I think the fundamental problem is that in order to have more discussion someone would actually have to play these games, instead of just laughing at bad Steam pages.

I still can't believe this didn't raise a huge red flag.

BRB starting a software piracy thread with a ":siren:do not report this thread because you saw pirated software. If you don't want to see pirated software DON'T READ THIS THREAD:siren:"

I really don't think we need to worry, I think the "my [x] is a futanari" was funny because of the cookie-cutter obsession with the concept. Plus I don't think we have an OP telling us not to tell the mods if we see something against the rules.

I tried to never post any actual screenshots of the horny, it’s possible to post about these games and mock them without getting skeevy. But on the other hand it’s too easy for posters to get creepy about it and that requires mod attention to police it. It’s easier to just ban it all outright than try and police it, hence here we are. This thread will probably go dormant at times and be less active which is a shame. But I get why it’s being done.

I just think people are overcorrecting a little bit - there's only one person I can remember doing any horny posting in this thread, and they're perma'ed. (On a related note, I would've sworn that they were perma'ed for their posts in this thread, but apparently they were perma'ed for posts in, 9f course, the DA thread.)

I just don't think we have the same problems because this thread doesn't tolerate it and the mods pay attention.

if the only thing that matters is your sense of self-importance then yeah sure that helps; but if there isn't an actual making GBS threads-problem then all you're contributing is meaningless white noise. there is a difference.

I'd rather the thread overcorrect than become anything like the DA thread

I know I can trust myself but it has been shown on the forums time and again that without stringent moderation, there are plenty of other users who can't be trusted to not make it weird. A lot were perma'd from the DA thread but some of those perma'd were posters in here too so this thread was already attracting those types.

As nice as it'd be for this thread to get by on self-policing, I just don't have any faith in that happening. It's easier to cut a cancerous tumor out before it metastasizes.

Plus VG has already made it clear that this is now a porn-game-free thread.

I think the past couple of pages have shown that it is still entirely possible to have a thread dedicated to dredging the depths of the steam catalogue without risking it turning into a place for posting hardcore porn games.

The thing about porn games is how funny they are depends on how many times you've already seen other porn games. Like after seeing variants of games with names like "dickgirl elf cafe" get posted like 40 times it sort of loses its shock value. There's probably a commentary to be made here about how this sort of desensitization is what contributes to people developing fetishes in general but I don't really want to dive into those weeds.

I think that ultimately something that is baffling is a lot more entertaining than something that is shocking. Weird porn is explicable, it might not be to your taste but you can at least understand who it is for. Stuff like Kati the Astronaut is just so much more interesting because it's clearly the work of someone with a mind that works very differently than anyone else's.

Yeah, like for a lot of these games, once you get past what it's about, it's just "oh, it's a bog-standard match-3 game" or "oh it's a visual novel" or what have you. If you take Tetris and replace the pieces with girls in various positions and your prize for clearing a lot of lines is anime titties, it's still just Tetris.
