The world's normiest weirdo. Yes, that's a real Emmy. No, don't blame me when PSN is down. I play Magic the Gathering but I only buy the cheap cards. まだ日本語を習っている。

How it feels to look at this map

Ravi, Trending Non-Gamer of the Year@ravikanodia· 27d

how is it that there are FOUR physical cabinets of Killer Queen in San Francisco and zero in the East Bay i feel like @brandon.insertcredit.com should be able to fix this

Map of the bay area showing locations of Killer Queen cabinets. There are four sites in San Francisco, three clustered loosely around the Castro but also one in Bernal Heights. The East Bay is a complete void.

had to get this one out of my head

the art from the Magic the Gathering card called "Doctor Strange, Surgeon". Doctor Strange is wearing surgical garb and looking toward the viewer as he pulls a latex glove over one hand. It's been cropped to a square aspect ratio, and a label for "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" has been added to one corner. Hopefully that causes people to think about the cover art of Blink-182's Enema of the State.

Can't believe I'm one day late for puraido

In this screenshot of Private Eye Dol, Mei asks "PRIDE?" in a font that has been scaled up so much that it takes up the entire dialogue window.

Does every porn vn have this level of backstory and worldbuilding is this what I've been missing out on

"Mom", a woman with long black hair, black eyeliner, black lipstick, and a black shirt (opened several buttons down) stands outside a brutalist university building and says "For your sake, I hope you're talking about the First Corpo War and not World War 2."

(Last one! Time's almost up.) Horny for Change It's a joke because the main character is a unicorn, see? He's horny? But also they have lots of sex so it works on multiple levels. Combat seems pretty familiar for RPG Maker fans. The tone of this was jovially lewd; makes me think of "filk" culture.

Isha, a queen with a pointed crown and revealing purple dress, addresses Victor, a humanoid unicorn with gray fur, and a green cloak, blindfold, and loincloth. "You will have full authority to take any four of my subjects under your command, to shape them into the heroes this kingdom needs."

Lexi, a paladin with long blonde hair and red plate armor, tells Victor, "And I shall GRIP that spear ever-so-tightly, that I may feel its reassuring, righteous weight and girth strike down the wicked, one just THRUST at a time-"

The screen is completely black, except for a text box reading, "Would you like to watch Isha's Handjob scene?"

Sleeve Shock A crew of runners, already at each other's throats and laying low after a heist gone wrong, decides to pass the time by having lots of sex with their heavily (and transgressively) modified backup bodies. It's, uh, a lot. Sometimes a thing is Not For You and that's ok. Renpy, natch

A woman with a pale blue undercut leans towards the camera. She asks, "Can you remember your name?" I've typed Bungus in the text field. I guess that's going to be a running gag. Background text reads "Hey! Are you glitching out!" Honestly I like the glitchiness of this screen.

A holographic projection of a sexy robot lady in a shirt and tie stands in what can only be described as "the Holodeck, but green and glitchy". Two rgb-framed text bubbles present the player with dialog options: "I have a buttplug" and "I do not have a buttplug". Really asking the big questions here

Tala, the woman with the blue hair, stands in a futuristic apartment with lots of wires and glowing doodads. She asks, "How did you get some kind of porn jerk off instructions installed on your back up sleeve." Sleeves are the name for the backup bodies in this universe.

Fluffy Memories A throwback to the classic age of "solve a puzzle, get a nudie pic"; this time, the game is Concentration, and the pics are furry art. I will admit that neither half of this equation really captures my interest but if you've ever wanted to see a rabbit with a Rabbit, this is for you

A tile-based memory game. The player has successfully matched a pair of Bone cards. A rabbit furry in the corner, wearing a green blouse and blue pants, smiles warmly.

Having completed one round, we get to see one-fourth of a CG illustrating what appears to be the same rabbit looking seductively into the camera.

Cinnamon, the rabbit, has unbuttoned her blouse to reveal a black bra. She says to the player, "It's kind of warm in here. I could take a little more off, if you want."

Another matching screen. The tiles have been shrunk to fit more of them onto the playfield.

I do love the way nighttime is depicted in this game. Very glitchy, color-pop-y, maybe a tiny bit of cruelty squad.

Some trees and park benches. The sky is dusky and dim. The buildings behind the trees glow with an inexplicably infernal red light; the leaves of the trees are lit in a neon green. The edge of a curb is flecked with pink and red stains.

Wake, the protagonist, stands outside a clothing store at night. The neon signs and the clothing both seems like they are made from fluorescent colors. The shadows are pitch-black.

The way characters are depicted in this game can be kinda weird and offputting. Maybe it's Brechtian? I dunno. Basically every woman in the game looks like this.

Ms. Reed, the guidance counseler, tells another faculty member "It's not like a smart, handsome gentleman is going to knock on my door and walk right in." If she tried to button her lavender cardigan closed, it would probably explode.

Cass, wearing a pink sports bra and black leggings, leans over the librarian's desk. The school librarian is dressed, well, like a librarian; notably, her button-down dress shirt seems to somehow follow the contours of her extremely large breasts.

The waitress at Arigato's tells the protagonist, "Careful! Hot tea! Hot, hot!" I don't quite have the words to describe the graphics style here but, despite having some facial structure that obviously makes her look somewhat elderly, her skin is rendered with the same smooth-plastic look as all the other characters.

Love by the Water Another renpy vn (honestly, the lingua franca of itch dot io). A homeschooled loner goes to school for the first time ever and gets much, much more than he bargained for. There's an entire mystery about the weird island where the game takes place.

A woman with an orange top, which struggles to contain her more-than-ample bosom, points up at the signboard for "Arigatos", a restaurant serving Japanese-Mexican Feline Fusion. The mascot is a lucky cat with a sombrero.

A young woman with short hair stands in an alley lined with vending machines. Her face is red from crying.

Abby, a young woman with a red tube-top and white overalls, uses her smartphone to snap a photo of some papers on a desk, while asking "By the way, what kind of perfume do you think smart guys like?"

Bratty Bottoms Still a work in progress and it shows. The hotel management sim doesn't have any interesting choices to make; the card-battling minigame might be fun but it's not even close to complete. Jank abounds. Also, despite a couple of extremely brief sex scenes, no brats or bottoming(??)

A view of a motel from outside. The narration reads, "My name is Bungus." To be fair, I chose that name for the protagonist.

Irregular Fantasy World A renpy visual novel about getting a woman getting isekai'd into a monster world. The characters in this one got naked pretty quickly so I don't have many screenshots to show here. I did laugh out loud more than once in the brief time that I played it, though!

A city street with lots of neon signs in Japanese. Orcs and demons walk around alongside ordinary humans. The narration reads, "And so Truck-kun reincarnated me into the world of E'dora, a magical world home to many different mystical races."

"To my surprise I was accepted into the Big Hat Academy, the most prestigious adventurer academy in the nation, headed by the Lich Queen herself." Apparently "Big Hat Academy" is quite literal, since the main portion of the building is topped by a giant witch's hat.

Prickle This is an adorable little Sokoban-adjacent puzzler where you have to navigate the maze while the baby hedgehogs you collect get stuck to you, forming a single puzzle block. Nothing particularly "adult" about it except in the extremely literal sense of being a Dad Hedgehog. Feels well-made.

A top-down view of a black and white playfield containing little scribble-like hedgehogs and a door. A tutorial tells the player that they can use the arrow keys or WASD to move DadHog.

DadHog has three baby hedgehogs stuck to him, forming a shape like the Z block in Tetris.

Magefight: Duels of the Arcana Erotica I don't think I've ever seen a first-person shooter where you're always target-locked to the enemy and move in discrete grid steps. Kinda boardgame-like, but I don't think Magefight puts that to any particularly interesting use.
