Too bad SJWs control any aspect of life now. One can't say anything without making a bunch of people offended and having activists on your tail.

When in good old 2005 I worked on software first line support for a bit, we there were clearly instructed to never provide help to people when they ask, just listen to them, uncderstand them, comfort them, but never provide technical help unless people insist. In this case we should have provided redirection call to "specialist" (which was just another person in the same room). This was because of hysterical outbreaks of people, who were not calling for technical help but for comfort. They just wanted to talk. And if they got technical help instead, they just stopped paying for support contracts.

The good thing was that in Internet technical forums people wanted technical support, so one could talk freely. Now if you just help people on forum I see the same as was my old shitty job - constant hysterical outbreaks on you because people come on tech forums not to get tech help, but to socialize and force their political agenda, pretending to want answers to tech questions. So if I accidentally help such person I'm generally become persona non grata, as people build hate mob against me, for saying something these SJWs fight agains. Or just start accusing of being rude, trying very hard to prove that I specially selected words to hide attempt to insult them. Or just accusing me of being sexist or white (I'm not even US citizen and US madness still haunts me!). So common attack by ambush.

This reminds me of 90s when Feminists were rising and their activists allowed men to help them on street (like out of bus, with heavy bags, etc.) then accused the victim of harassment or even some kind of rape they invented. This effectively made men stop helping women on street at all, as nobody wanted to be arrested.

Now that behavior prevented me from helping people on some tech forums. And things become worse each year. I hope somebody will do something about this eventually, as this effectively kills free speech and good will in communities.

Visual novel 'Higurashi When They Cry Hou' part 6 is now out

This is more a book than a game, but it is classic and really worth money.
The story is great. If you like books I think you will like this one. Start with part1 though.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

Life is Stragne 2, Agents of Mayhem would be great to have I think.

Battle simulation game where you create units 'Hyper Knights: Battles' is now out

Well, looks promising but very limited.
AI is done in some way AI programmer would do, but it is not user friendly.
Otherwise some serious AI experiments can be done there :)

Need a Horror Game for October? Join the 'Doki Doki Literature Club'

Yeah, I like Saya no Uta, but I was hoping for something newer and a bit less dark...
I was hoping that I missed some VNs over last 5 years when I did not have much time for them.
I tried some games off Steam like Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (very linear kinetic novel, but with very strong plot,
but the remake is not complete yet. Also people say it was extremely censored comparing to Japanese version), Sakura Dungeon (censored casual RPG made in RenPy). Now I'm a bit dissapointed... There is either HuniePop-style games or
some games with plot, but te plot is omitting people's things, which makes me enjoy it much less. Why there is no games
which would contain decent plot and relationship mechanics oriented for adults, i.e. not only ponys and rainbows?

Are there any recommendations?

BTW is there some VN with strong plot but with 18+ content in horror setting? Like Katawa Shoujo but with mystery
and story (apart from datesim and getting to know people)? So something with mature story and no stupid sensorship, i.e. story made by adults for adults? Of course it should run on Linux.

Need to get the data files from a Windows game on Steam? steamget from Icculus can help

I wonder if it is possible to get game's CD key, as game requires activation (e.g. GTAIV)
so I wonder how to activate version downloaded via steamget as Steam do not give me CD key for it...
