The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. (lemmy.world)

I've never really played any porn games more hardcore than Baldur's Gate 3 before, but you remember a couple weeks ago when GOG gave away those NSFW games, as a direct response to the whole thing?

Well I claimed the bundle just to boost their numbers (because censorship is bullshit), but recently I needed a low-difficulty gaming distraction, so I checked a few of them out, and... some of them are kind of good?

Like first off you have to be okay with visual novels (usually), but if you're cool with that, some of them actually have some compelling characters, and occasionally even good gameplay in between all the fucking and whatnot.

Leap of Love is amusing, kind of adorable when it comes to the not-sex stuff, and charming. It is also a game where you (a former frog) can marry and simultaneously bed 3 princesses and their stepmother after deposing of the evil king. My brain is still trying to reconcile this.

Huniepop is one of the best match 3 puzzle games I've ever played, with a chill as hell soundtrack. Also a scantily-clad foul-mouthed love fairy wants you to fuck every woman in a 5 mile radius who can fog a mirror.

And Crom help me, when I finished... sigh... Fetish Locator Week 1, I actually cared enough about some of the characters to buy the next one.

The point is, some of these games have more depth and value than I'd been led to believe, and I wouldn't have known that if the censorship thing hadn't started that chain of events. So congrats censorship people, and honestly thanks, I guess? Completely the opposite of your intended effect. Task failed successfully.

I do appreciate the time and effort you put into the comment, but I am not arguing against what you are saying.

Since Kinsey &co and the summer of love, the movement didn't evaporate, it perforated society and mutated. I don't think I'd be going too far by stating, that the sexual revolution couldn't have happened without the suffragettes. I see the queer movement as a spearhead in the same direction.

I only had qualm with you saying anything has been undone (sorry if I'm paraphrasing). Yeah, using 'woke' as a pejorative for anyone craving progress is a thing now, but that doesn't mean most of us want nothing more than to love each other freely.

Mmm, I get what you mean. So often, I find myself in conversations (not ours but in general) that have certain presumptions that have been addressed by movements such as these that I feel like there's this gap in knowledge that shouldn't really exist but…

I think your point's a fair argument, though; I'd certainly prefer that, at the very least.

I do understand. I find myself having to regularly check myself to look for miscommunication instead of malice (or stupidity for that matter).

The whole thing is whack, and anyone with two cents of mind and some compassion is just gaping at the horrors being casually thrown around and equally horrifying misdirections.

Thanks to the internet the only way to hide stuff is to drown it out, but we all have our trusted sources (who in turn distort reality in an infotaining world, but that's where we're at). This means we can more or less put the big picture together (or at least the players) and make fairly solid guesstimates.

I tell myself this is an all or nothing attempt by the ruling class to legitimize a strangle hold before any major resource wars break out and that people are really wisening up to their shenanigans. I feel 'doomerism' is an aspect where they can easily get me. Don't let them win.
