    I think porn is just straight up an even more extreme distribution of the garbage to not garbage ratio. There can be such a thing as a good adult game. But I think the public will just buy gacha pornography while AI churns out the game equivalent to porn tapes like its the 1980s.

      Does anyone actually want to play bejeweled while jerk off?

        The existence of Huniepop answered that question already.

              Yes I know it exists but do people actually like it? For me it just felt like a disconnect of artwork and gameplay aka lazy design. I was thinking of “Sex and the Furry Titty”

                Sex and the Furry Titty

                The fuckin nerds on this website find the dorkiest fuckin’ sex games, I swear. Tortured puns, too. Where are your heart-wrenching, kinky VNs???

                I can attest a personal anecdote: an ex of mine was extremely into Huniepop, but I think it’s at least 80% irony poisoning. It was basically all a big silly joke to her, which did not stop her putting like 30 hours into it. Huniepop was a huge, huge meme, and not a good one. I also won’t discount that people might enjoy these purely on the basis that they engage your brain more than just video would? I have also seen people suggest that horny mechsploitation games would do with a dash of 90s mech simulator combat, to make the player really work for it.

                So like, I dunno, I would think a pure VN would work better though.

                  Well yeah that’s what I’m saying. How is bejeweled better than no bejeweled
