I have NOT bought a NEW desktop computer in over 10 years.
So I have looked at the PCs recommended in this thread and looked at PCs at my local Wal-Mart the first thing I noticed is NONE of the PCs have built-in optical drives(i.e DVD and/or Blu-Ray drives).
Are they not a thing anymore? Are games and software only available for download now?
Pretty much, yep.
Pretty good Microcenter bundle (cpu, mobo, ram) going on now for $500 if anyone is in the market and has a local store:
Well, this is interesting: Valve is working on a new Steam feature that will let you hide all those weird sex games from your friends.
I don’t have any friends on Steam. Or any weird sex games, for that matter.
I see them in the store from time to time but I don’t understand them. From what I can gather most of them are little more than digital graphic novels with the occasional dialogue choice that I doubt has much if any effect on the “gameplay.”
But clearly there is a paying audience for that kind of stuff, so good for them I guess.
Oh no no. There are many branching story lines and positions to choose and speed of thrust and location, and sometimes you get to fuck your sister if it was made in Japan and …
I mean… yeah, me too, I don’t play those disgusting things.
Huniepop, from probably going on ten+ years ago now, was a fun satirical take on the anime dating game formula with terrible personality characters, amusing dialogue and some fun Match 3 style gameplay (assuming you like Match 3 games). But it also had your naked anime stuff so it’s the one game I can think of with a legitimate “I play it for the plot” angle on a sex game. Everyone on my Steam friends list can just live with knowing that I played it though; it’s not as though I’m Steam friends with my mom.
Back in the day I’d be in game sale threads and places would have bundles of terrible anime visual novels with “Blackmailing My Lust-Crazed Sister” and “Mind Controlling My Mother Into Servitude” which was a big bunch of “No thanks” from me. Invariably, you’d have a couple posters smugly saying how tame those games were and if we only knew… Sorry, weirdo dude, I’m not going to feel all bad and vanilla that I drew the line somewhere well before non-consensually doinking my immediate relatives.
Whoever is naming Call of Duty games needs to be taken out behind the woodshed and shot.
Yes reusing game titles is highly annoying. Mortal Kombat, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Doom, God of War, Hitman. COD Modern Warfare 3 seems particularly strange, apparently it’s the same characters are the first CODMW3 but different plot?

A human finally broke Tetris, with a score of 999999:
A bit more detail here. It’s not about the score, folks have been maxing out for years. It’s rather about forcing a crash by playing for too long. Very interesting stuff! I didn’t realize that Tetris had never been beaten; I thought the level 29 kill screen just looped forever and was as close to beating it as anybody could get.
Buy SALE SALE November 2023 BUNDLE (?)
$11,999.40$74.40
Appears that all of their titles were originally about $9.99, then about a year ago they raised the prices of everything in their catalog specifically so they can discount it 99%, so it ended up being --surprise!-- exactly the same as the price it was before.
Just look at the price history of one of their games on SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/app/1902260/
Price history for all of their games is the same. Looks like a Russian-based “developer.” Probably full of malware and a money laundering scam to boot.
Oh, dear Og! Somebody made a sexed-up open-world game set in the Old West and called it Deadrock Redemption.
No link because, y’know, NSFW. The trailer I saw on Steam featured a cum shot before I went elsewhere.
Some days, we should just nuke us all from orbit…
It’s the only way to be sure.
I was a bit tired of COD zombies so I fired up Planetside 2 after about 5 years or so. Lots of new vehicles and mechanics as far as I can tell , pretty empty though and so it’s pretty much spawn die rise lather repeat as I am not at all good. Still seems stable and entertaining, just about 8 years too late to have maintained any traction .
I used to play Planetside 2 a lot, but the new systems don’t seem very fun to me. Luckily you can still mostly play the old way and ignore the new stuff.
There are rumblings that the first official Mafia 4 trailer will appear on Friday, 7 June.
