I've never really played any porn games more hardcore than Baldur's Gate 3 before, but you remember a couple weeks ago when GOG gave away those NSFW games, as a direct response to the whole thing?

Well I claimed the bundle just to boost their numbers (because censorship is bullshit), but recently I needed a low-difficulty gaming distraction, so I checked a few of them out, and... some of them are kind of good?

Like first off you have to be okay with visual novels (usually), but if you're cool with that, some of them actually have some compelling characters, and occasionally even good gameplay in between all the fucking and whatnot.

Leap of Love is amusing, kind of adorable when it comes to the not-sex stuff, and charming. It is also a game where you (a former frog) can marry and simultaneously bed 3 princesses and their stepmother after deposing of the evil king. My brain is still trying to reconcile this.

Huniepop is one of the best match 3 puzzle games I've ever played, with a chill as hell soundtrack. Also a scantily-clad foul-mouthed love fairy wants you to fuck every woman in a 5 mile radius who can fog a mirror.

And Crom help me, when I finished... sigh... Fetish Locator Week 1, I actually cared enough about some of the characters to buy the next one.

The point is, some of these games have more depth and value than I'd been led to believe, and I wouldn't have known that if the censorship thing hadn't started that chain of events. So congrats censorship people, and honestly thanks, I guess? Completely the opposite of your intended effect. Task failed successfully.

Your post made me want to check these out. I only ever played one with a friend for kicks. It was a fun, cheap activity, easy to make a drinking game out of.

It's like how erotica can still be literature, but people dismiss it for the sexual focus. But I've read erotic stories that had me hooked, made interesting social commentary, had nuanced characters and were just a fantastic time.

I stand by this: porn is a largely untapped medium for insanely stupid comedy.

I know we've all seen lemon stealing whores and whatnot, but like, we could have so much more than we do.

You're not alone, James Gunn (yes, that James Gunn) thought the same.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ha, I had no idea these existed. If anyone would, he seems like the type to, though.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago

It's a sadly forgotten relic of the old internet.

I've written porn comedy before. No I will not be linking it, but yeah I enjoyed it and the bad porn book club I was in over the pandemic enjoyed it too.

I think part of the problem is that oftentimes once something erotic has merit beyond the erotic it often loses its porn classification in the public eye. Venus in Furs is porn, the word masochism is a reference to Sacher-Masoch who wrote it the same as sadism is named after the Marquis de Sade, but it's also classic literature.

I definitely do want to get back into writing porn comedy, but I haven't been pissed off sufficiently stupid porn writing since that book club stopped.

This definitely poses a problem. Er... depending on what we think a problem is, I guess. But the stuff I'm thinking of, it would be very hard to do this to.

Maybe but like Story of O is on the verge (apologies as these are all going to be bdsm) by nature of it being old and remembered. The 120 Days of Sodom is likely mostly read by people not into it in a sexual way (mind you I think it's mostly read by the edgy). 50 Shades of Grey is atrociously written and yet despite being a story existing to package soft core pornography that's the dissenting opinion on it, not the mainstream consensus. Sunstone meanwhile is the inverse, soft core pornography to entice and enhance a story about bdsm. All of these except Sodom are edge cases where some people might be uncomfortable regardless of which box you put it in

Though I'll acknowledge it does get harder for much more explicit stuff with less non-sex content.

One of the hardest times I've laughed my ass off was at a one of those semi surreal uncanny 3d porn games. Can't remember what it was but it scared the shit out of my cat who was sleeping under my desk, have the scars to prove it.

Also if anyone wants to look at porn games F95zone"dot"to is a pirate forum which is good for keeping track of in dev ones or just if you don't want to possibly waste money on a porn game you may not like. Also the dot is in quotes cause I am not sure how the mods would react to me posting what amounts to a porn link.

And people are trying to shut it down. It's a damn shame.

Oh well, we still have the absolute chaos that is ammateur, self-published erotica.
