Lots of sales of Warhammer FB and 40K games around right now, and new Warhammer games on GOG.

[Iduno]

Um.

So, Humble is featuring another game bundle.

I remember back when that was just a thing people knew was happening (because it was always happening), and not an uncommon occurrence.

[Mephisto]

I'm not angry, Humble. Just disappointed. This is what I've come to expect of your sibling IndieGala.

[Frumple]

Will admit, I'm mildly sad they didn't use the opportunity to slip some sakura wars games in there. That would have been neat.

[Nighthawk]

Cardcaptor SAkura?

Sakura "Hey, you wanna see my collection of softcore lesbian monstergirls?" game.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I ever looked at the Cardcaptor franchise, but weren't most of the Clow Cards monstergirls?

A considerable majority of them, yes. Wiki list of cards here, for reference.

Humble is owned by the same company that owns IGN. I don't expect much.

And yet, this is Humble trying to exceed your expectations:

Ah, the Humble Bundle Hurdle Burdle.

[Nighthawk]

Ah, the Humble Bundle Hurdle Burdle.

This made me laugh more than it probably should have.

[Aoi]

Ah, the Humble Bundle Hurdle Burdle.

I feel like that "Bumble" could be slipped in there fairly easily too.

Though, hasn't Humble had a bundle like this before? And I want to say it even supported the Susan G. Komen foundation by default.

Edit: Phone typo!

I know they had one exactly like this, because I sent it to one of my Steam friends as a prank.
Admittedly, we're both weeb trash, though I like to think of myself as weeb trash with standards.

Cardcaptor SAkura?

Sakura "Hey, you wanna see my collection of softcore lesbian monstergirls?" game.

I'll also point out that "Sakura" is a very common word.

It just means cherry/cherry blossom, and there are like a million things with that word in the name including restaurants, stores, movies, games, TV shows, anime, songs, types of food etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_(disambiguation)

It's kinda like seeing the movie title "The Island" and wondering if everything else with the word "Island" in the name is part of the same continuity.

Also, as a warning:

Sakura Spirit is a 2014 visual novel by British indie developer Winged Cloud and published by Sekai Project.[1] The game was released on July 9, 2014 on Steam and MangaGamer.

It's not actually the real thing, these are English wanna-be Japanese visual novels. So they're faux-Japanese visual novels (complete with everyone having very cliched Japanese names) with a pervy emphasis made by an Indie developer in the UK. These things tend to be merely a bunch of still images, whereas the Japanese equivalents these days are using animation and 2D/3D integration (Nekopara for example).

So:
Nekopara 1: 3D/2D, animated. Has full voice acting: cute girls speaking cutely.
Sakura Spirit: 2D only, not animated. Has no voice acting, apparently.

Both are the same "type" of game, but you get a lot more value for money from Nekopara. It is about twice as long, playtime-wise and has full voice acting for all female characters. A bishoujo game without voice acting? What is this, 1998? EDIT: apparently they did hire Japanese voice acting for some of the later ones. Which doesn't change the fact that what you're basically getting is "the pervy weeb's guide to visual novels" and artwork that's about 15 years out of date.

Only the Perfect Cherry Blossoms are worth points.

(Touhou 7 Perfect Cherry Blossom, where catching cherry blossoms is part of high-score rounds.  It's part of the story about spring not happening)

The series is specifically called the Sakura series.

That'd be like thinking that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: WWII and Call of Duty: Black Ops are part of the same continuity.

[Reelya]

That's not relevant to my point however. The previous person was wondering whether it's related to "Cardcaptor Sakura".

My point was that Sakura is a general word, not specific to this series. Sure this series happens to be called the "Sakura Series" but for example, there's also a television series in Japan just called "Sakura", and anime TV series called Sakura Trick or Sakura Quest, none of which have any connection to the thing in question.

So it's not like "Call of Duty" at all. If you see a Call of Duty game you know it's made by the Call of Duty guys. Conflating things that just happen to have "Sakura" in the name with this English guy's games, is more like every time you see the word "lost" in a title, you assume it's related to "Lost".
