The CIA responsible for both.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Bless the CIA then.

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Mainly distributed by the CIA?

Look at the Nier Automata artwork page, that’s why 😳

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That's...a bit different. Iirc the director basically tell his fans to send him those artwork. Dude planned the whole thing.

Non American developers seem far more open to sexy characters or exploring sexual themes in games. Look at all the action in BG3 recently, and that's a Belgian title, CDPR in Poland with Cyberpunk, Japan in general. I don't know if it's a cultural thing holding back US Devs or that silly Adults Only rating that means no one will carry the game, but it's holding back the medium.

European tend to be open minded like that. Japan might be one of the few outlier in Asia.

Virgin Blizzard VS Chad Nier Director

What, did the dude 4D chess himself a r34 generator?

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He likes going to cons and seeing how much effort fans put into their cosplay.

Truly a man of culture.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He likes big butts and he can not lie.

YOko's Really Hot Androids

The main character is dressed up in a maid outfit with a short skirt. I don't know what anybody was expecting.

Also, 3D porn artists are just looking for models to pose, and there's not a lot of good ones to choose from.

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

That's...their point.

Since when is Overwatch on Steam?

[–] scala@lemmy.ml 81 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since blizzard is desperate for players to return after each consecutive backlash.

[–] avater@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

also because of the microsoft deal. Microsoft has acknowledged that the move to host games exclusively on BattleNet has failed and I think as soon as the deal is done, more and more games will move back to steam completely.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Also, Microsoft really wants to show right now that they're not gating plattforms.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Since the player base quit.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Since yesterday. Works great on Proton experimental. Even better than on Bottles or Lutris.

It’s a very very recent thing. But I think it still launches the blizzard launcher.

Steam should have a rule against that tbh.

[–] Nefyedardu@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It doesn't. You link your Steam account and it's 100% through Steam after that. No offense but why don't you just spend the 20 seconds to Google it rather than spreading false info...

[–] Tag365@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 year ago

You don't "Google" something, you search it online...

[–] HellAwaits@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I think it still launches the blizzard launcher.

Uh no it doesn't. A 5 second google search could've told you that.

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org -1 points 1 year ago

Well I did say, “I think…”

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Overwatch is an excellent porn series with a terrible game adaptation

BTW, people can still upload Artworks and the page is still visible here. And yes, you already know of what it is full of.
