Quoting: BeamboomI can't believe some have become so fragile that they actually feel the need to shield their eyes from articles they don't want to read. It's not enough to just scroll past it, oh no, their tender minds applaud a feature where they can avoid such monstrous provocations to ever reach their retinas.

For fucks sake.

Next to mine, this is the second-stupidest comment in this whole discussion.

Hard to imagine someone on Linux having such a hard time comprehending why someone would want more choices to customize their experience. But here we are.

Great! Now if you want a nice, quiet site all you need to do is filter out the "liamdawe" tag and you're golden.

Quoting: GuestFrom the rest only Highway Blossoms seems to be noteworthy, rated at a 7.05 and just barely making it into the All Time Top #500. The rest gathers around the nondescript midfield of questionable quality, pulling ratings from the 6.-ish range and is probably only advisable for the hardened seeker of clichéd stereotypes and pitiful panty peeks. We are talking about Just Deserts (6.14), Ladykiller in a Bind (6.37), Sunrider Academy (6.35) and its sequel Sunrider: Liberation Day (6.76). Note that you can play Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius for free on GoG / Steam to see what the games are like (They have elements of turn-based strategy.)

I think Ladykiller In a Bind's position in terms of ratings may be misleading, since for one it's a much different sort of game than its Japanese fellows, being created by a Canadian and focusing on a different sort of LGBT+ cast. More importantly, it initially contained a controversial (justifiably so) scene that turned a lot of people off. The scene in question has been reworked to fix the problems, but reviews never really recovered from that.

Quoting: GuestI'm not terribly familiar with it but there is actually a broad strong history of making pervy games. This bundle is not interesting to me but hope you are all having fun whatever you are playing :)

Heck, people were making porn games back in the Atari days. It ain't a new thing.

Quoting: JetriJokes aside, might get $1 tier for Highway Blossoms, which looks like a sweet yuri VN, but honestly, I don't understand how this was put together - for example, why on top of all these (mostly) oddities is goddamn Clannad?

I'm not a VN sort of person, but I've heard really good things about Highway Blossoms.

Quoting: TuxgamerPeople buy this stuff? Let alone are interested in it?

People like things you don't? Inconceivable!

Unlike that other project, this one actually does have an interesting retro look, although the presence of modern guns in this setting seems a bit jarring (not to mention the half-orc/half-demon's instant expertise with them). But there seems to be something unique to it other than the look, so that's a big point in its favour.

Honestly, even though they say "retro" a lot, It doesn't look like anything earlier than Half-Life 2. So not all that retro, especially if you turn off the artificial pixelation.

Not seeing a lot in the video that sets it too far apart from the other shooters coming out though, so I guess they have to sell it on something.

I really don't understand how all this GoG stuff on Lutris even works. Everything I already had installed is just seen by Lutris as a regular Linux game with no real connection to GoG (even though they all get put in a "GoG Games" folder). Is it supposed to separate them out the way it does with Steam games?

So in any case, I figured let's try uninstalling a game and re-installing it to see if that works. I picked Eschalon: Book I since it's a pretty quick download. It says it's available, so I hit the install button, only to get an error message saying that no installer exists. So I guess I have to install manually anyway? I have no idea, all it gives me is the dialogue for adding a generic already-installed Linux game. So...maybe? I do know that now there's a grayed-out entry for it in the area that should only be installed games and I don't know how to remove it (Does "remove from library" remove it altogether? It's unclear.).

Maybe it's wiser I don't bother with that at all. It seems intimidating and easily broken to me.

Hmm. Just installed it and it doesn't detect games I have bought and downloaded from GoG, and doesn't detect Linux games that I have installed on my HD that aren't from Steam. In fact, unlike Lutris there isn't even a filter for non-Steam/GoG/Humble games, which makes it a bit less useful than it might be.

Still waiting for one of these game managers to have Itch integration.

Oh, I played the demo a while back. It was fun, was wondering when the real thing would come out.
