    Speaking of free stuff, for some reason I felt like playing Starcraft and to my surprise it and a load of other Blizzard games are available for free (mostly feature-complete).
    I played for a while, can't say it plays as nicely as I remember, though I got used to it after a while.
    I still haven't finished Starcraft II.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Speaking of Starcraft, my GOG library can now do a certain joke.

    "We want Age of Empires and Starcraft!"
    "We have Age of Empires and Starcraft at home."
    Age of Empires and Starcraft at home:
    https://www.gog.com/game/empire_earth_gold_edition
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/empire_earth_2_gold
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/empire_earth_3
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/submarine_titans

    That's not to say these are bad games. They just never became breakout successes. Empire Earth I've heard was made by some of the Age of Empire devteam members, even.

    FWIW, EE1 (and possibly EE2 but I haven't touched it enough) seem to play kinda like AoE, while EE3 seems to simplify the RTS aspect but add a grand strategy meta-game to it.

    I haven't tried ST yet because I just bought it.

    *sees first video*

    this better have multi-track drifting

    *is disappointed*

    well i guess the horse identification booklet and puking dog partially make up for the lack of multi-track drifting



    *clicks second video*

    > podoboo horse
    > low-poly toilet flushing (shit included)
    > beef stroganoff recipe
    > swan-go-round
    > "fuck you" radio

    ...i see.

  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/amnesia_a_machine_for_pigs
    free game.
    it's the second in the Amnesia series of horror games. I think it's free because it's celebrating the release of the fourth game, Amnesia: The Bunker.

    giant itch bundle: https://itch.io/b/1812/queer-games-bundle-2023
    This costs $60, but there's a $10-minimum version (that contains the same contents) linked in the description.
    This isn't a charity bundle, but the idea is to raise money collectively for all the participating devs by making a big splash rather than individually selling their own stuff.

    Talking about queer games: what is the most unintentionally gayest game you know of?

    I have a vague recollection of a video recorded in, IIRC, Gothic 3, with sounds mistakable for... you know what kind of a movie, but that's about all I've got to say.

    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    I don't know whether it's unintentional but there's this one game, a shmup I think, that features a lot of shirtless and extremely muscular men. I think one of them rides in a half planet shell. The game is something of a minor meme, but I don't remember what it's called.
  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    That would be Cho Aniki, but I'd be very surprised to hear anything gay in that game was unintentional.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Oh, no wonder I thought of the name Cho Ren Sha 68K. (Though obviously it's not this name.)
  • Ahh, that was it's name. Also, I see that's where Cho Marisa's name comes from (or they both come from some other source?)
    There's also the game with the dude who shoots fireballs from under his skirt, although I may be misremembering and there's nothing vaguely queer about it besides the guy who shoots fireballs from under his skirt.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    free game, coinciding with the start of the GOG Summer Sale.
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/sunblaze
    It's a challenge platformer.
  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Free game alert: https://www.gog.com/en/game/sigma_theory_global_cold_war

    Also, I have a confession to make.

    I didn't grab SunBlaze even though it was free because there were cartoon boobs and I felt too awkward about looking like I grabbed the game because of cartoon boobs.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Now you can instead spend a small amount of money to get cartoon boobs!

  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Note that Eschalon Book I is always free already.

    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    oh hey here's a thing called Tabletop Club, an open-source clone of Tabletop Simulator: https://drwhut.itch.io/tabletop-club

    i found it through this list of open-source game clones: https://kbin.social/m/opensource/t/92900/Open-Source-Game-Clones



    also, free game: https://www.gog.com/en/game/ancient_enemy
    (no, it's not open-source, though it is DRM-free)
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    one more free game for the current sale

    It's not a classic free game alert, but there's this: https://www.gog.com/en/game/betrayer

    It's some sort of action horror or whatnot. It's not a typical giveaway, I'm not quite sure if I understand the premise, but the gist of it that I got is that it's a decent game for free. Since I don't know if it's going to be free permanently, it's better to let you know right now.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    (another) free game (for a limited time, as usual)

    this multiplayer curiosity

    (you already have this if you got the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality a while back, in which case you should already see a download button)
  • I recently learned that Sakaguchi stars in shitposts:

    Spoilers for FFVII if you've manager not to get that spoiled in the last quarter of a century.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Spoiler for FF6 as well.

  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    I got Stalker recently, but luckily it was also on a sale so I don't have to complain about getting money wasted.

    Also, yeah, it's a good game.

    Free Game Alert: Cave Story+ at the Epic Games store.
    Edit: Unlike every single other game I've Free Game Alerted, I actually installed and played this one. I remember much less than I thought, I even died to the door. Also for some reason (difficulty setting?) my Quote is not a robot.
  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Free game alert: GOG's got some sort of King's Bounty game.
