I like men, women, non-binary peeps, and both directions of trans folk, but I say bisexual because to me it’s all inclusive. Also the best flag.

On the other hand, I just remembered Angelo from Dragon Quest 8 (<3), so my selfish need for OP to choose a name related to something I like is still satisfied with that.

Because I like the vampire show.

I mean, Angel can be a man’s name. Ask David Boreanez. It’s close to what you had if you dig that, and fits the described vibe imo.

Yes, but OP was clearly just fishing for the obvious answer so as to throw a tantrum about it.

Yeah, I basically apologize for existing in the same space as other people.

Borderlands 2 is great for co-op, but I’m not sure if you can do local splitscreen if that’s what you’re looking for.

Oh damn I thought this was some “Fuck bitches, smoke trees - Abraham Lincoln” shit, but it’s a real quote. Nice.

It’s not out just yet, but it sounded like they’re close based on the discussion board. Demo took me an hour or two to run through, worth the time if you like the subject matter. Quinn is adorbs.

Nice. I don’t typically go for M/M unless femboys are involved, but it’s what my wife likes, and that’s one of the ones I linked her when she asked me to research a few games for her to try.

He’s the main love interest, not the protag, but have you seen Haunted by Femboy? A little on the silly side, but I enjoyed the demo.

Vought?

Oh yeah, I saw that one earlier and threw it on my wishlist for later. It looks pretty good. I picked up Scarlet Maiden instead for now, which is also a pixel-based naughty game, but looks to be a roguelite and is supposed to have great gameplay too.

That seems like a fair assessment of the current state of things, but I do want to stress how good Huniepop is as a puzzle game alone. One sparkling jewel in a sea of erotic sliding puzzle and jigsaw crap.

If you removed everything outside the actual gem matching gameplay and soundtrack, I would still play it.

And yeah, I started poking around and saw some of the more ambitious open world projects like you’re talking about, and they all looked like abandoned early access. But if they have the technical ability, why not show my character licking some Asari ladyparts in Mass Effect 5? Adults play a shitload of video games too. Make it an optional DLC if you have to.

Thanks for the warning. I’d started playing because I needed a distraction from some hard IRL stuff, so that’s good to know. It was nice that when I fired up Being a DIK from the same bundle, they straight out ask you at the beginning if you’re going through shit right now, and gently suggest the game may be rough for you if you are.

It’s certainly what the majority of the genre became with the advent of mobile gaming, as with so many other simple puzzle games. But the original Bejeweled and Puzzle Quest were both excellent and huge hits, and were complete games before the microtransaction garbage that came later.

It’s a nice genre for relaxing and turning off your brain, similar to a Tetris or a Bust-A-Move. I know there have to be titty and microtransaction filled variants of both of those, does it invalidate them as puzzle game genres?

Oh right, I have actually heard that about Fate. I never played any of the games, but I caught a lot of Unlimited Blade Works when my wife was watching it, and it seemed pretty solid.

For trans women who haven’t or don’t intend to get bottom surgery: What is the line between a man who just happens to enjoy a good penis and likes yours, vs someone who is fetishizing it? I have never pursued a trans woman (to my knowledge), but as a dude who thinks some cocks are nice regardless of who they’re on, I always wondered how you approach that approvingly without seeming objectifying.

One other side point that came to mind after the main post.

We’re so conditioned to think realistic violence in games is fine, but realistic sex in games is “wrong” or “sad”. But honestly, I realized I played through 3+ games without doing any violence* and had a blast, and that was actually really refreshing.

*^{okay, no non-consensual violence. I may have slapped Lyssa’s dick around, but she requested it.}
