Steam... what's with this digital poo poo anyway. I want to line all my old game boxes up on a shelf next to clever coffee mugs and anime toys and embarass my wife like the good old days.

Hey, sick, I didn't know the sequel to Touhou Mystery Dungeon-like Gensou Wanderer had a now-translated sequel just drop without me noticing. This time the gimmick is entire teams on the field instead of a duet. This rules.

Always love when video game protagonists find a giant treasure chest filled with poo poo and there is exactly 1 (one) particular item in the chest that they grab and stuff inside their clothes, ignoring everything else.

Goons' blind obsession with generational divides will never stop being tiresome.

i will forgive a lot in forspoken if, at the end of the game, your character asks their love interest out or confesses their love, only for the love interest to be like sorry, i'm spoken for

Am I misreading this review or is this guy literally complaining that the game doesn't sufficiently justify why they made the protagonist black

Shouldn't an arachnophobia mode INCREASE the amount of spiders? They will in my games, that's for sure.

There are so many good ways to address arachnophobia

Children are stupid. Not in a derogatory way, they just don't have any experience and don't know any better. That's why children's media is written in such a way as to have otherwise obvious things be spelled out and repeated in a non-subtle way, to maybe it more easily understood by a child.

I really don't know why it is so controversial to say that I don't enjoy that style of writing.

And Avatar is the highest-grossing movie of all time. The fact that it's popular now means nothing in the long term.

The Pocky & Rocky sequel is coming out on Steam

It's great aside from how you have to finish the game once before you unlock co-op

Chas McGill posted:

I guess I'm mainly after a compelling story with meaningful interactivity and something that will run nicely for many hours on the steam deck.
Do you like anime antics or tolerate it?
I can tolerate anime antics to an extent.
Do you like escape rooms? How hard do you like your puzzles?
Puzzles can be pretty challenging. I'm not enamoured with the concept of escape rooms so probably wouldn't play something all about them.
How much sex appeal or fanservice do you want in your games?
Ideally it'd be something I could play without getting awkward questions if witnessed on public transport.

I finally bought Riftbreaker since it's on sale right now and it really is a great game if you're in the mood for fulfilling your colonialist fantasies and bringing proper culture and civilization to an unspoiled planet by genociding the barbaric fauna and paving over the flora with civilized concrete and pollution spewing military-industrial complex as far as your eyes can see.

I have probably a dumb/naïve question.

I know there are websites like gamersgate where you can buy keys and activate them on steam, and they'll have sales that don't always correspond to Steam's sales. I know there are also a lot of shadier ones that offer super cheap keys cause of region fuckery or w/e. I don't know if steam actively punishes people for this or if that's just a rumor, but I was curious if there's a good price comparison website or list of more legitimate storefronts that I should be looking at? I've pretty much only ever bought games directly from steam, and googling "game name + steam key" is like SEO bait for a bunch of sites I've never heard of and don't trust.

How do you get into these games where the gameplay is reading?Even the sonic visual novel murder mystery had some gameplay movement mechanics, does that exist in this?

One time I wanted to kill a spider that was crawling on my kitchen wall. I took out a hammer and was getting ready to smash it, but then I noticed it started running away from me. At that point I got over my fear of spiders, grabbed a handkerchief, let it climb on and took the spider outside, setting it gently by my neighbour's door.
