ITT we discuss things you do in videogames that ruin the game for you, but it's YOUR fault, you do it to yourself. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME THIS WAY, BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO.
>Grinding money to buy every single piece of new equipment before heading to the next town.
>Methodically clearing out every single enemy in an area before moving on.
Etc..

The spiritual sequel to Photo Kano and Reco Love got an updated rerelease on Switch, Switch 2 and PC, now including English text as a first for the series so we gaijins can enjoy this bishoujo gem.
Interact with six different heroines including your sister who can't stop coming onto you and a literal, unironic JS kuudere. Take photos of their panties, put them in one of several dozen skimpy outfits, and blow wind up their skirts. Find true love in this youth romance sim among the shameless semi-gravure, for in the end Eros serves Amor and the best kind of boner is a heart boner. And then have fun in the new freeform Pro Photo Mode where you can take pictures of almost anything you can make of the game's assets with little to no restrictions.
Basically, this game is super fucking based for a Japanese game in 2020+6 (so based it got banned from Steam, in fact) and I wholeheartedly encourage you to support it and the developers. We simply don't get many games like this any more ever since the west started flexing its institutional muscle to put pressure on what Japanese developers are allowed to make and sell.

FEATURING: DAIMAKAIMURA A.K.A. GHOULS'N GHOSTS, FANTASY ZONE II: THE TEARS OF OPA-OPA, AND PLANET HARRIERS
Somewhere near the woods lies a gas station, neatly placed seemingly in the middle of nowhere; however, it is far from desolate. For there anons from all around gather inside a room. A room filled to the top with arcade machines. There, anons enjoy the evening drinking, calling each other faggot and just having a good old time.
>What is this?
Anons vote for some games (or someone just posts some) and play them until they beat them or lose. Arcade games that don't take long to complete and reward skill. Once finished they post their score and see who did the best. They give others advice, share what they think of the game, call each other casuals, say which character they would fuck and more.
>How much time do I have to play?
One month or until winners are announced. New threads are posted at around 00:00 UTC-8 on the first Saturday of the month whenever the fuck I feel like it.
>Where do I get them?
All ROMs here: https://files.catbox.moe/vlot7r.zip

DAIMAKAIMURA A.K.A. GHOULS'N GHOSTS
>scrotum-smashingly difficult platforming action game, and second in the classic Ghosts'n Goblins series
>later games give you a double jump but this one doesn't; at least you can fire upward
>have fun beating the game a second time with the worst weapon to get the true ending

FPS in black in white for better or worse, since you can't see shit and everything looks bland. They added white paint in the most obvious places for you to jump and also white ladders. They also added a flashlight to explore ventilation ducts or dark areas, the thing is you CAN'T use the flashlight outside of those areas, making it useless when you can't SEE SHIT in some part of the game, specially the sewers.
Items are easy to identify since they move like cartoons, but sadly they forgot to add that feature to items you can interact with like ladders, switches, doors or breakable boxes.
The story is about "muh racisum."
Gameplay? It is fun, shooting mice is fun, blowing mice is fun, melting mice is fun, wide variety of weapons and each level is different with new a new enemy to kill. It also has movement types like, dash, double jump, tail whip and helicopter tail, to move around the maps, not used a lot sadly, but I think it would get between you and killing enemies if they rely on them to heavily, but exploring the levels is fun, trying to look for collectables and weapon upgrade papers, the downside is sometimes you could break the game, which happened to me 2 times and also sadly, the game gives you the collectibles if you miss them, but not the weapon upgrade for some strange reason.
So yeah, the only good thing about the game is the game, the gameplay is fun and tammy is cute, bosses are also fun to fight with different gimmicks.

Not infrequently there have been anons asking about games with 2D girls wielding guns, or why there aren't anywhere near enough games that feature 2D girls shooting guns. For once, if the occasion permits I'd like some light shed on this subject, as to what idea for a game anon's got in his head that would require girls and guns.

Girls and guns at first appear like inconciliable realities. Guns imply people wielding guns and the use of firearms, tools which can neutralize potential threats with minimal effort, commodified weapons for a brutal reality which more often than not requires them, and are pretty fun for sport as well precisely because of their macabre reality. The other pertains human beings of the opposite sex, largely neotenous and with stylized bodily proportions to whatever makes the artist's ちんぽ happy. Do they really mix? Games in which guns are integral to gameplay tend to create hostile settings to accentuate the necessity of guns. For instance, Doom has demons as enemies, Stalker has hostile factions and fictional, mutated wildlife, Deus Ex has terrorists, robots and highly specialized military branches of fictional organisms. Their worlds require guns to provide a fair shake against all possible threats to the player. On the contrary, games in which the girls are the selling point require to accentuate the cuteness and/or sex appeal of said girls through matching gameplay. They may do spastic cartoony action if they don't already skip the action entirely

Discuss any kind of bug you have and let others show you the solution here. 
We all been there, if you play games on PC, you will eventually have to fix bugs. It can be quite easy, or fucking nerve wrecking. Especially on linux, it would be a miracle if the game runs perfectly after install. And if you pirate games, you also have to debug shit a lot. 
Thing is, I actually think AI can help a lot in this case. Just the other day, I installed Resident evil 5, and for some fucking reason it kept using integrated graphic instead of the external one. I tried researching on the web, but seem like I am the only one with this error. So I did something I never do before when debugging games, I let codex cli handled the bug. I said the path, the error, and the fucking thing oneshot the fix. It's amazing. Basically it put a small helper file d3d9.dll into the game folder, and when the game run, it uses this file, catch the old graphic requests of the game, and convert them into vulkan. I mean, i would never able to find this fix on my own, im just filthy web dev retard. 

Codex cli and the app is free to use, for now, but you can only use the weaker model. If you pay up 20 bucks, you get to use the frontier models, which are amazing in my opinion. I have been using it non stop for work, which let me have more time to play videogames on my phone during work. I can go take a shit while the ai figured out the solution.

Not only does valve release a contoller which costs 100 dollars which firstly short circuits if anything metallic touches it and secondly the controller has hardware drm which means that you need to have the steam client open to use it. What an absolute joke. Remember controller prices? Remember when you could buy a controller for 30 bucks? You still can get a controller for around that price so it is absurd that steam and microsoft is pushing for controllers that are this expensive. I think i looked up xbox controllers and saw that they were around 80 bucks? And there was a ELITE reminds me of the katana autist controller for nearly half the price. 
Im way too off topic now so lets get back to shitting on steam. Steam just a day or two ago started selling the steam deck with a massive PRICE HIKE of several hundred dollars. Mind you that the default price was still expensive for the perfomance that it provides. What an absolute joke of a company. I guess tf2 and csgo cases weren't enough to fund another yacht for Gape. Fuck Gape and fuck his Cleveland Steamer Shitbox and the steam cult.
