I know Warframe has an entirely separate chinese version, under technically a separate company.

I think it has to do with either copyright law or their online censorship, but I don't really know why some games do that.

[JoshuaFH]

A game by the name of "Chinese Parents" is on my steam frontpage. A game that is entirely in Chinese with not a lick of English. Apparently it's about being a Chinese mom, raising a Chinese daughter, in China. I actually kinda wish it was translated because it looks interesting and it has glowing reviews written by, eh, English-speaking writers that don't know Chinese???

Man where did this lewd cosplay thing come from. I s2g it feels like a year or so ago it was basically just Jessica Nigri getting a little bit more nsfw, then all of a sudden BAM. the most attractive man I've ever seen apparently cosplaying deku. You can tell, because he has green hair, even if hes practically naked.

I've been getting a lot of this. From what I understand, several Chinese developers have been using bots to buy up tons of copies of their games, which then causes Steam to mark them as popular and recommend them to everybody.

I've been getting Japanese-language games as well though. I think there might just be something weird with the Steam algorithm, where it's no longer hard-excluding games in languages you don't speak, and there's no way to force it to do so, apparently.

I'unno if it's getting more prevalent or somethin' but lewd cosplay (or just straight up porn, for that matter) has been a thing for a good long while. Hell, pretty sure it like pre-dates the internet, at the absolute least before it had actual pictures and whatnot.

Hey, you don't have to speak the language to play the game. It helps, but it's not needed often enough.

... wish I could remember which it was, but I'm pretty sure I played through an old SNES or NES jrpg that was untranslated. I figured out yes and no and that (well, and probably far too many hours of banging my electronic head into walls figurative and otherwise) was all it took. Less text heavy stuff is basically easy mode.

Can confirm this has been a thing since the existence of costumes.

...making room for wtf-material about Yoink's adventures with household pests.

Umm, well, that same cockroach I rescued from the bowl (well, I'm assuming it was the same one) was on the wall next to it when I went to use the toilet last night. I had a bit of a struggle to shoo it out of the way, since I didn't much like the idea of it falling on me while I was tryna read my book and void my bowels.

Also my housemates are leftists. That counts as a "household pest", right?

[JoshuaFH]

How left are we talking about?

[ggamer]

Yeah. If they're, like moderately socialist then you should be able to live your life. I hear they make industrial strength pesticide if they're tankies, though.

[hector13]

... there's a PC-building simulator video game.

[NJW2000]

... there's a PC-building simulator video game.

Of course, there's only one true kind of device to play a game like that on.

I wonder if future generations will use emulators for our operating systems in order to run our emulators in order to play then-archaic videogames.

[MrRoboto75]

How left are we talking about?

They ain't right

[Yoink]

Speaking of left and right, one time it's good to be left is when you're walking down the street.
People who insist on walking on the wrong side of the footpath (aka sidewalk) are just asking to get stabbed. Definitely a peeve of mine. Bloody gronks.

Yeah, but untranslated visual novels though.
