Hey now, they showed you what they'd look like as hot anime dudes at the beginning. or the end, something.

Which I'm pretty sure was entirely to set up the joke where one of them was, in that mode, still just a bird.

all this is one thing but otoh isn't it hard sometimes to discern between what's just an amateurish labor of love that took years to complete and something that was slapped together in a few months in rmxp or gamemaker? like for instance part of me can't tell if minherino adventures is a weird south american asset flip or my kindred spirit's outsider art

Isn't it a promotional game for some restaurant chain?

I'm not sure what Kekistan refers to, but based on that flag I assume it's some kind of white power thing?

Munchables posted:

Kekistan is a fictional country that 4chan and various alt-righters use as a ralllying flag because they like to say "kek"

So, yes, forums poster I dont know, you are correct.

The thing is, they don't work. I have VR blocked and I still get VR games in my queue.

Aren't the tags community-generated? So even if it did work*, it'd only block VR games that some random steam user has gone in and tagged with "VR"? EDIT: Or, possibly, enough users tagged it, I'm not sure how that works

_{*i don't use the discovery queue unless steam is running some event and will give me a card or whatever for it, so i don't even have an anecdotal "it does/doesn't work for me" here}

Also, why in the name of everything we as sentient beings hold sacred does the LGBT Battlegrounds have high ratings? Surely there can't be that many imbeciles who actually think that's funny?

Only people who own the game can leave a review on it. Think about who would even buy it in the first place.

Like, I'm still tempted to buy it but not for more than like $5. I still can't for the life of me loving figure out how you even play it, even after watching the trailer and looking through a ton of Community Hub pictures.

The forum has people complaining about mosiacs so, uh, be careful about that "Ironic porn purchase" thing.

EDIT: I did not get any useful info about what the gameplay is like, though. :shrug:

Mokinokaro posted:

Anime was to some extent. Just don't make the mistake that it echoes actual Japanese attitudes on it. Lesbianism, for instance, is seen as a "phase" some young girls get into but are expected to grow out of when they become adults.

It's really obvious many of the creators are sympathetic to the LGBT community though as they sneak as much as they can in.

I know there's some magical girl show where two girls grew up and now sleep in the same bed and have adopted a kid but their relationship still isn't explicitly romantic, because the corporate overlords wouldn't let them make it so. But they made it as close as they could without getting fired.

Looked at Deliverance: KC's creator's twitter page, and he was retweeting someone arguing against forgiving student debt, so... Yes.

They got the like, clothes and food way, way wrong too. And I believe a lot of the weapons aren't handled remotely like they actually were historically, with people swinging them in entirely the wrong way. And got the political situation way wrong. They didn't actually care about realism.

You're thinking of the company SakuraGame, not the Sakura games, which are made by Winged Cloud and unrelated to SakuraGame.

Well that's not confusing at all.

Sounds like both are garbage people though! �\_(ツ)_/�

I'm surprised that a no-name developer churning out janky "XY Simulator" games has the money and clout to acquire the Mythbusters license for their game.

Publisher. I checked and most of these games seem to be by different developers.

Also "Succubus" is listed on its store page as being published not by PlayWay but the dev themselves? Weird.

At least that's what one youtuber said and it's too dumb to not be true.

It's pronounced "Yick". An expression of disgust, which is hilariously appropriate since hte game is very, very much on topic for this thread.

I don't give a poo poo what the devs say about it it's "yick". :colbert:

Kinda hope they get reported for that because I believe paid positive reviews is against the TOS or something? I swear I just saw an article in which Valve murdered a fuckton of curators for doing poo poo like this.

Don't forget to look at what curator is asking to be paid to review the game.

Wait, wait, I thought it was just witch themed Stardew Valley? When did that change? I saw it when it was first announced in early access and haven't kept track since. It's now Dark Souls but creepy (in a bad way)? What happened?

EDIT: OH gently caress. I thought Little Witch NoBeta meant public release of Little Witch in the Woods. I was honestly upset thinking the Witch Stardew game was made bad.

No, the full title is "Little Witch Nobeta", where Nobeta is... the name of the main character? Or something? "Little Witch In The Woods" is a completely unrelated game.

They are not a search engine. They put words together in statistically likely (according to their training data) ways. They do not care about, or have the ability to care about or tell, if those ways produce accurate information.
