The fact that you can see this:

And still decide, "eh, I'll allow it cause the game looks fun" just staggers me. Yet people wonder why gaming has an image problem.

What thread is this in?

It's something else. People will excuse practically anything.

Regarding HP2
If there's anything I've learned in life is that no matter how repulsive and disgust a creator can be morally and ethically, people will defend it to their graves if they think their content is that good.

The bar feels so damn low for people these days.

I can't even discern what those tweets mean.



After reading why this thread was closed, and I wonder if the next Palmer Luckey thread will get shut down...or will it stay because he's a VR pioneer?

Okay so what I'm about say isn't just about Huniepop, but I've been going through Steam's discovery que every day for a while now, and I have to ask: Why are people trying to get hentai games on Steam?

I guess I can get why a lot of stuff in Japan in softcore -- actual nudity enacts a lot of restrictions in their ratings systems I understand, but at the same time it's what the reliable otaku bedrock wants. But I see a lot of games on Steam -- both Japanese and western-trying-to-be-Japanese, that are trying to get as close to being hentai games as Steam will allow, knowing Steam doesn't allow-straight-up porn. Why not just take that stuff to J-list or wherever. There are digital PC game stores that openly allow hentai.

Morning, y’all. Hope the weekend has been blessed, and today can be relaxing for you.
Evening kin.
Afternoon all.
Evening.
I didn't know y'all had Black History Month out there.
Neither did i.

Happy UK Black History Month family.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/41433196

Also learn about American black history as well.
Cool article. Thanks.

I watched a documentary about Mary Seacole many years ago. It's so sad she's been forgotten.

That article doesn't mention that Mary was a contemporary of Florence Nightingale. And that Mary was more well known at the time for her work during the war.
Back to Jamaica for a month soon. Going to be good.
Be safe and have fun.

More visablity for a potential audience

I could say its an attempt to suggest that possibly that adult shit can exist in the same market normal stuff and be rated accordingly or restricted accordingly or both. To suggest that shunting of sexual material might be indicative of a larger culture still quite uncomfortable with open sexually with the stuff they enjoy

But I don't think any of those devs care about that, they are just trying some cash. on a extremely large platoform

Spanish guitar is the sound of divinity.

You aren't fucking wrong my dude

Good guitar sample on a rap beat, holy shit. Good Spanish guitar, or like a south american sound on a rap beat, fucking ace my dude.

Any Progressive lesson on sexuality will immediately be crushed by exploitative practices.

The Articles dragging Hugh Hefner right now are making it known.

Beefy you're Jamaican? Please tell me good places to eat in London or where ever.

Worst part of moving out years ago was losing my Mum's Jamaican food.

Oh nvm, he went on holiday.

Ladies, if you were in an interracial relationship, how long could your husband use racial slurs before you snapped:
Between this, and the "Black men arent just harassers, theyre terrorists!" article run by madamnoire, has "Black media" lost its fucking mind?

These people are viruses

A lot of them I think just refuse to accept virtually any level of criticism of the products they like. They seem to think people want to ban those games outright or make it illegal to produce them when critics are really just pointing out some things about them that might be fucked up. Internet discourse is either a 0 or a 10 to these people, and they think any criticism of their favorite ecchi/hentai game equates to criticism of them.

Let's compare it to, I don't know, rap music. We love rap music. Is there some problematic stuff in rap music? Definitely. It should't be impossible to enjoy something while also recognizing its flaws.

I’m talking about the developers of the game, not the posters in the thread

I have no idea what is being discussed in here right now. But I have curry on the stove and a snoot full of wine, so I agree with everyone!

A generation of devs raised on 4chan and hentai, may God help us all
 
I tried to watch some streams to see more of the game and hear more music but good lord, how do you guys do it. It's like listening to a 12-year old that just discovered "bad words" so they say them every other word.
 
I just realized this job I had and the other where I was the only black person were the only places where people didn't ask me if I had kids. Weird how black folks always ask me that, but white folks never ask me.

Die House
Don't Deal With The Devil

I love Die House theme and King Dice. Funny enough, I actually gotten the brilliant idea of dressing up as King Dice. Only thing I need is a purple three piece suit, large purple bowtie, a cardboard box for the die head and some purple dress shoes. Oh and paint and facepaint. As well as designing some cards, an 8 ball and some poker chips as the sub bosses.

It's inevitable that were going to see people cosplaying as the Medusa Mermaid.
