Would've been Pay2Fap, but it's free! (ง ื▿ ื)ว

I clicked on the bundle because I was curious to see it and now I have a bunch of porn games I guess. I don't have an issue with porn games but I don't play porn games so now I have a bunch of trash cluttering my library.

I was able to kinda hide them but they are still there.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Huniepop is genuinely one of the better match 4 type games out there and has a bathing suit only mode if you are feeling adventurous.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

None of them are even remotely close to the sort of games I enjoy, the porn part isn't the issue I just don't care for "dating" sims or puzzle games.

I want to buy more from GOG but my only gaming system I have is a Steam Deck. I know the native Linux stuff should work ok but u always have problems getting windows stuff to work. Either through Heroic Launcher or Proton. I must be doing something wrong. All the guides I find are just wrong or out of date.

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Hei give this a try, it helped me a lot for a gog game at least (Tunic). https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

I'll give that a try, thanks

[–] orochi02@feddit.org 7 points 12 hours ago

Make heroic add to Steam lib by default

If that dont work then idk

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 96 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 18 points 21 hours ago

They support free games. If only they supported free platforms to play them on...

[–] Lag@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I couldn't pass their capcha so I guess I'm a robot.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 5 points 13 hours ago

VPN to the UK.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 33 points 23 hours ago

Self-awareness is the first step to sentience.

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago

I cant get by their 2fa. It sends the code like 4 hours later which by then the code times out.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it's been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Some countries banned Postal 2 so they can't give it to you if you live in, as a random example, Germany.

Congratulations on already living in the future they're protesting. Realistically they probably should have recognized this would be a problem and told you the specific error but their giveaway codes aren't really meant for this so whatever.

If you do live in a country like that you could, however, spend $70 on a year of Mullvad and be a Canadian as far as GOG knows or cares.

Maybe you should be doing that anyways, regardless of whether you want horny games and also Postal 2.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 7 points 23 hours ago

Same, tried three different browsers. I HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT, FELLOW "HUMAN".

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

And maybe ten of them will actually play any of the games.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh yeah I saw the list and am pretty sure I'm not even installing any of them, but claiming the bundle in solidarity

[–] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 8 points 16 hours ago

Y-yea... For solidarity

[–] CrazyHorse@lemmy.cafe 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 12 points 21 hours ago

Apparently some of them are very good in their own right, telling a compelling and interesting story and not just being horny cash-grabs so I'm tempted to give them a shot.
I played the original Yu-No because of how it is the foundation upon which all modern visual novel games are built. That was a difficult experience and I do not recommend it to anyone not already very interested in the history of the genre, there is a lot of content there that is not for me.
But that was the game that made the industry say "oh shit, these things can be good, too".

Side-note: the modern rerelease of Yu-No has the more objectionable stuff stripped out, but then we've got to have the censorship discussion all over again.

Anyway. My point is this: I have also overlooked these games but might have to rethink that.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm one. I played one of the ones I didn't already have yesterday.

High Tail Hall?

[–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ya, looking over the list I couldn't be bothered to obtain a copy of "Helping The Hotties".

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really? You'd leave the hotties unhelped?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 15 hours ago

Hey, everyone, OP hates hotties and thinks they should stay unhelped!

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I didn't see the option, but also Huney Pop and others don't work on Linux.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Works fine on my Steam Deck.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can you just add them as nonsteam games?
Where do you install them to?

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago

I used Heroic Games Launcher and added it as a non-Steam game.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Lutris is very likely your friend here

[–] carmo55@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Can confirm it works fine with wine / proton

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 3 points 20 hours ago
[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

The linux version of Hunie Pop didn't launch for me on Fedora 42, but the Windows version did with Heroic using GE-Proton-Latest

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

Slaanesh is proud

If only GOG was this militant when it involved Taiwanese developers (Red Candle Game devs), I would still be using their platform. They haven't even allowed Nine Sols on it, so I haven't bothered going back yet or have even recommended them to the degree I usually did over Steam.

It's not even that they had to censor themselves, it's their woeful attempt at an excuse. It's funny whom they kneel before and whom the are activists against. Were it a China "Many Gamers" matter, do not expect them to have been as willing...

[–] scintilla@beehaw.org 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Do you have a link to someone talking about the Taiwan situation?

It has a lot to do with how it would have affected Cyberpunk 2077's release in China and it's huge gaming market. I mean, just look at the downvote count in my previous comment, there are a lot of butthurt factory trolls downvoting it from the red stained Lemmy "Marxist Leninist" foundries. China cannot accept any political commentary, specially coming from Taiwan, and the devs got punished for it. The devs capitulated, but China did not care, so why bother?
