Just want to drive by and mention - a friend told me to play DDLC and I was highly skeptical given the anime pin-up girl art style. I eventually gave in and gave it a shot.<p>It's an amazing "playable story" unlike anything I have ever played. Super creative and well worth the couple hours it takes to play. I think it could use a few trigger warnings and it should be rated PG-13 / R, but there's stuff on Netflix 10x more disturbing so I don't quite grok the Google push back on this one.
If you want something just as surprising & good, I'd recommend giving "Slay the princess" a go - a really unique hidden gem.
Or, if you're not into it, then check Euro Brady's playthroughs for this game ( he also did DDLC btw. ) - the commentary is awesome and gives insight into many things you wouldn't normally find out yourself.
This genre of games are called visual novels.<p>Doki Doki was created with the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine by the way.
And it's also one of the most impressive displays of RenPy's capabilities you'll ever see.<p>Plenty of games do amazing things with ren'py that you wouldn't think were possible just by looking at the dialogue DSL. Maps, HUDs, minigames, incredibly dynamic pathways through the game. But DDLC takes it to a different level, partly by looking so "normal" on its surface.<p>In college I made some spare cash writing Ren'py games for some creatives online who had the writing and illustration chops, but needed programming help. At the time, DDLC was the model for great game design in Ren'Py. There are plenty of more technically impressive Ren'py games nowadays, but DDLC is still a terrific example of technical sophistication facilitating the story.<p>Ren'py is awesome by the way. A tour de force of software design, in my opinion.
I've played it, but what's impressive about this game (technically)? I don't remember its implementation being anything special as opposed its plot.
I think it's mainly in relation to the constraints of the game engine, and also that the game engine being flexible enough to enable the gimmicks. I haven't played DDLC and probably never will, but from what I've read about it, like games with similar core themes (not dating sim) it has some gimmicks that tend to stretch the capabilities of a closed-down game engine, sometimes requiring patches to the engine itself. In this case the game engine Renpy offers an extensive DSL that makes it easy to add story scenes media and dialogues, but allows you to fall back to python to do some tricky things.
It does a lot of screwing with the interface and game data in ways most VNs do not.
Any examples of other impressive Ren'py showcases?
I personally helped develop a game with an entire inventory/crafting system, and an isometric map. Final product never saw the light of day, sadly.<p>People have made some pretty slick turn-based combat systems. Some deck builders, others more spellcasting/mana oriented.<p>And it's renpy so like 80% of the games are straight up porn, so I'm not naming a single one here lol.
I really enjoyed Roadwarden. Interesting take on an old fantasy genre and gave me “this is ancient history” vibes. I’m not usually into visual novels but beat this game. It’s available for under $3 right now, I am showing 20 hours played, totally worth it.<p><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155970/Roadwarden/" rel="nofollow">https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155970/Roadwarden/</a>
"Analogue: A Hate Story" and its sequel do some technically interesting things, and they both also have interesting stories, I can recommend them.<p><a href="http://ahatestory.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ahatestory.com/</a>
Isn't RenPy basically a game engine under the hood? So if you have the programming chops, you can make anything with Python.
Yeah but its such a standout in there that i wouldnt even consider it part of that genre. It uses the same medium but does such crazy things with it that its nothing like any other visual novels
TV shows have reached a point where the ratings are blurry and R content is becoming normalised and ubiquitous with little to no enforcement.<p>Games are still seen as something children engage in despite the average gamers being adults.
Games have ratings in virtually every country. The commercial version of DDLC, DDLC Plus is rated M in North America for 17+. The original free version lacks a rating because it was a free indie game. And the website has the line "This game is not suitable for children
or those who are easily disturbed."
The official website states on the front page:<p><pre><code> This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed.</code></pre>
We do not need our hyperscaler minders telling us what content we can and cannot consume.<p>This ought to be grounds to litigate antitrust. This should not be happening.<p>We need web-based app installs without scare walls ("downloading from the internet is dangerous"), without hidden settings menus to enable them ("Settings > Apps > Special app access > Install unknown apps"), and without any interference or meddling from the hyperscalers.<p>Tyranny of defaults = 0.00001% of users will ever fall into these buckets = Google knows exactly the evil shit they're doing. Apple not even allowing it is almost less evil by contrast as they're not pretending.<p>These devices are too important for two companies to lord over us and tell us what to do.<p>I hope Lina Khan comes back, and I hope she has some absolute urgency next time. I also hope our pals in the EU and Asia put this shit to rest as well. No citizen of the world should have their devices cucking them like this. This is not what computing is supposed to be. (And let's not discount the fact that competition on these devices is in no way, shape, or form fair anymore. You're taxed to hell and back if you do distribution or outreach on these garrison states.)<p>These our our devices, Google and Apple. You do not get to control what happens after we buy them. You are both monopolies. You are both allelopathic parasites. Invasive species that have outgrown your ecosystem and invaded all the other ones. Doing damage to everything you touch.<p>The world needs a cleansing forest fire to restore healthy competition.
I’m generally with you, but I am not prepared to say companies should be forced to host and distribute content they believe reflects badly on them.<p>That and I don’t see how Google and Apple can both be monopolies in mobile. Is this the “Ford has a monopoly on Mustangs” argument? Never found that persuasive.<p>Now, reframe as duopoly, and maybe layer in that a platform owner who curates their App Store must allow alternative app stores on equal footing, and I’d be with you.
I don't think companies should be forced to do that in general, but there are some circumstances where I think they should.<p>A local printing company should not be forced to print things they don't want. But an ISP should be required to transport everything, with exceptions for legal requirements and legitimate network health measures, or get out of the ISP business.<p>App stores feel more like the latter to me. Especially Apple's where there's no way around it for the average user.
Agreed on the free speech versus common carrier aspects.<p>But I lean the other way with app stores. The companies hire reviewers, the listings appear in the App Store trade dress, it feels more like a museum or magazine than an ISP. But I get how reasonable people can disagree.<p>Maybe we need some formal choices: is this a curated App Store that reflects editorial judgment (in which case it must be possible to ship alternatives on equal footing), or is it a common carrier (in which case you can be the only game in town).<p>The ambiguity doesn’t help, and of course megacorps love shifting the frames depending on context.
nah, companies should be able to put all the content warnings they want on their own products, full stop
This should already be illegal under the DMA. I don't know how Google is planning to get out of it.
DDLC borrowed a <i>lot</i> from YOU and ME and HER: A Love Story (Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi), which I consider generally superior to DDLC. I say this not to diminish DDLC, which is excellent, but as a plug for anyone who enjoyed DDLC and wants more mind warping content like that.
The poems are pretty good too.
> I think it could use a few trigger warnings<p>There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that trigger warnings have a positive effect and growing evidence they are either ineffectual or actually negative.
If you've ever had trauma, especially recent, you'll appreciate well done content warnings. You don't want the dramatic plot twist to happen to be exactly the topic you've been trying to avoid so that you can slowly get better.<p>If you've experienced a certain kind of trauma, it's not a matter willpower. It involves a loss of control over one's emotional response and thoughts which can be triggered by things that relate to your trauma.<p>Don't knock on content warnings just because they lack rigorous evidence or because "trigger warnings" became the butt of jokes for a while. They have a genuine utility.
Please elaborate.
It’s hands down R to be clear lol but yes amazing experience.
If you only played it once without knowing the ending, I strongly recommend a second playthrough. Some dialogues and poems have a wildly different meaning once you know things.<p>Also, I fully recommend DDLP+ too. The extra stories don't have any real gameplay, but they are really good, and add.some depth to the characters.
1bil+ people have surrendered their right to artistic expression to Google, and another 1bil+ to Apple, and another 1bil+ to Microsoft. Many more billions have surrendered it to Visa and Mastercard. The world will only continue to get worse for the foreseeable future as five corporations assert global control over what is allowed to be published. It is mournful knowing that humanity's peak is behind us.
Hey, on the other hand, zero malware! It <i>is</i> zero, right? Please say it's zero...<p>Just today I found a malicious version of Ledger on the macOS app store. It's been there for <i>five weeks</i>, and there are already some anecdotes out there of people losing their coins.<p>I guess that's somehow the developer's fault for not "staking their claim" to their name, as Apple seems to only monitor for malicious duplicate submissions if the original is in the App Store to begin with...
Sure, and zero ads and total privacy, as well
And only 30% fees, just for being on the app store!
Brazil and India have created alternatives to Mastercard/Visa duopoly. EU is seeking to do the same.
I'm pretty sure that I know what the answer is (sadly), but I'll try anyways:<p>Any chance folks in the US can use these, in the US?<p>This is a genuine question, although I don't have my hopes up. It would be nice to have some actual competition / choices
It costs you nothing but a few hours (heck, you may even make money on the points) to get a Discover card, which you can use on Japanese game sites that don't apply the Visa/Mastercard censorship (they have a partnership with JCB). It's a small move, but most people can't even be bothered to do that much for competition.
Hope you like carrying cash.
Many European countries have had viable online alternatives since forever, and a lot of them are being consolidated into Werk, which will also enable physical payments
China has cleverly replaced the Mastercard/Visa duopoly with an AliPay/WeChat Pay duopoly.
Many countries have alternatives already. In Poland Blik is ubiquitous and very very easy to use. And I love how it's implemented, Visa and MasterCard could learn from it.<p>Tldr - you open the app on your phone and it gives you a 6 digit BLIK code, you give that code to the seller, then a notification comes up on the app saying "seller X is trying to debit your account by amount Y, agree?". It's brilliant because then the seller gets nothing identifiable about you. Even if someone overhears the code, it's only valid 60 second so it's useless. Unlike with regular cards there is no risk of losing one or using a fake terminal that scans your card instead. And any transaction has to be explicitly rather than implicitly approved. Love it.
BLIK rocks. In addition to being a payment system for goods and services it can be used for instant private money transfers between individuals.
This is indeed one of the biggest weaknesses of "pull-based" payment cards, and something most if not all natively phone-based methods do better.<p>The best credit and debit cards can do is PIN verification or biometrics (for Apple/Google Pay), but even there you still trust the terminal to not show you a different amount than you'll be charged (assuming the screen is even pointing towards you; I've often been asked to tap without seeing what I'm even consenting to).<p>Online, there's 3DS, but that's not required everywhere and for every transaction.<p>There once was a vision to extend both positive cardholder approval and cardholder authentication for each card transaction, but it turns out the friction of that is higher on average than just letting everything but the most egregiously suspicious fraud go through by default and handle the rest via the disputes process.<p>Out of curiosity:<p>> you open the app on your phone and it gives you a 6 digit BLIK code, you give that code to the seller<p>Is this the flow for online payments as well, or only for in-person payments?
> <i>Is this the flow for online payments as well, or only for in-person payments?</i><p>On-line, too. Or should I say, first, because AFAIK on-line came first. I've been using it for years as my default on-line payment method where available, before noticing it becoming an option on POS terminals.
>>Is this the flow for online payments as well, or only for in-person payments?<p>works for both
I misread blik as “bilk” which is… probably the last word you’d want associated with your credit card or payment processor in English.
There used to be a beer designed to be mixed with milk called bilk. Last I heard, it was terrible. Maybe it's still around - I think it's Japanese, so it's unlikely I'd happen across it.
That's the problem. Every country has an alternative or ten, but what people actually need is <i>one</i> system that works across borders. That's the only way it reaches enough critical mass to be useful internationally beyond the EU, which nowadays is a requirement for it to be able to replace Visa/Mastercard in a decade or so.
Yeah but approving every purchase from a merchant I trust, like Amazon, would be annoying. Gotta allow for one tap to purchase, like eg apple pay does
6 digits effectively the time salted … the other digits are your lat long lol.
Bitcoin exists. Completely permissionless, anyone on earth can use it. Easier to accept as a merchant than any third party integration. Doesn't require you to trust any government at all.
Cool, but unfortunately, it has the same same drawbacks as cash. If you get scammed, accidentally pay too much or lose your wallet you will never get it back. I sleep safer knowing that there is some protection in the banking system against losing money all of sudden.
People are downvoting you, but I can literally pay for my meal using CashApp at a diner in the middle of nowhere using Bitcoin.
Unfortunately it's also pretty clunky for tax reasons in many places and inherently deflationary (and as such problematic from an economic point of view).<p>Sure, great if you don't trust your government or whoever issues your local currency, but if you can, there are better alternatives. Trust is an asset, not just a liability.
The EU 'seeks' to do a lot of things but is notoriously ineffective.
The EU already managed to make card payments significantly cheaper and more secure within a few years than they'll probably ever be in the US (still no PINs and no 3DS, and interchange will probably never get regulated because everybody freelances as a severely underpaid lobbyist thanks to frequent flyer miles), to say nothing of regulating a free and instant bank payment scheme into existence while FedNow is still rolling out.<p>Say what you will about EU inefficiency and regulations, but in my view, at least their financial ones have been largely on point.
Wirecard was pretty good. Assuming you're Jan Marsalek.
The walled garden approach stifles creativity and robs talented artists of the opportunity to express their work and get paid fairly.<p>Hope the EU or another progressive regulatory body allows users to fully control what they can/can't download and from where on to the phones they purcahsed.
Sellers across every marketplace have to rise up and demand interoperability and then these rent seeking marketplace will fade.
Not Microsoft. "Sideloading" is not even a term in Windows culture the way it is with Apple and Google because it's not a second-class citizen.
Old windows yeah. Now they also require code signing, etc.
That’s not for lack of trying, though: remember Windows RT?
MS has mostly abandoned that approach now. But during Windows 8 days? Yeah. There was a legitimate concern that MS will lock down Windows and try to funnel everything through Microsoft Store, establishing an Apple-style walled garden.<p>The concern was serious enough that Valve took a defensive posture and started investing into Linux support. Which, at first, largely failed - but eventually resulted in Steam Deck.
For sure, and I'm glad they backed off from it. I'm also glad they did it because of how it pushed Valve into making Steam OS so good. But Microsoft really did want to go down the same path, and I <i>do</i> not trust them not to try it again.
WinRT wasn’t locked down.
The Surface RT that I tried absolutely was, and everything else I'm seeing to make sure I'm not misremembering shows that Windows RT was still locked down. So you should expand on what you mean.<p>Windows S Mode shows that Microsoft <i>still</i> thinks this is a good idea, too.
> Not Microsoft<p>No Steam on Xbox Series X/S, last I heard.<p>> Apple<p>Steam still works on macOS, last I checked.
I wonder if this was coerced by Visa/MasterCard yet again, as they have done against many Japanese styled games in the past years. Despite some motions from the current administration, the payment processor monopoly seems keen on policing the public, which is one reason why crypto must still exist as a plan B payment method.
Monero, or honestly any cryptocurrency is a huge improvement on trad payment processors.
Maybe regulators can be bothered this decade to do something about these corporations abusing their power over mobile app distribution and payment processing.<p>The EU's DMA has been a step in the right direction, even if it's yet been fairly toothless with Apple and Google flouting it.
Binding of Isaac is a game that takes hundreds of hours to beat, and worked well on iPad. It cost $15. It was removed and so Edmund McMillen the creator resolved to never publish on Apple platforms again. Disappointing for me because his new game is Windows only, but I can’t blame him.<p>I could have sworn there was a discussion about this years ago but I went looking for it on HN and just found a comment I made years ago, funny how that shakes out.
Sad day for freedom of expression.<p>[Spoilers] For those who haven't played, DDLC has subject matter related to self-harm, mental health, suicide that sort of thing. It generally treats the subjects seriously. It has content warnings on it, so people know what they are getting into.<p>Its weird how we seem much more hung up on censoring video games we are than books or movies. There is way more disturbing books and movies out there. If this was a book i doubt anyone would care. There probably wouldn't even be content warnings on it.<p>On the other hand, maybe someone trying to ban you is how you know you have achieved the status of "great literature" like all the other banned books.
DDLC is a disturbing (good, but disturbing) game that opens as a bright cheerful one. So long as the description explained what the user is in for later on, I think Google shouldn't have done this. I haven't seen the Android version; I played it on PC, but as it is basically a "visual novel" I doubt there was very much difference between them.
I downloaded the Android version yesterday to see what everyone is on about. It's absolutely stuffed with trigger warnings. I had to click through about 4 screens saying that yes, I'm definitely ok with seeing disturbing content, and there's even a setting that will warn you before each individual disturbing screen.<p>I played 30 minutes and realized my personal trigger is sickeningly "cute" anime girls, and there's no warnings for that. Maybe I'll keep going and try to treat it as an artistic experience but I'm definitely not enjoying it so far and I'm just in the introduction.
Oh dude, this game is going to rock your world. I'm like giddy for you experiencing this for the first time with no spoilers.<p>I was like "meh" too at first ("what are people TALKING about?") and, then, it just gets incredible.
I played it years ago and sorry, it didn't rock my world even for 5 minutes. It's a very naive story with a jump-scare sort of ending that totally didn't work for me, because it was well expected. The story felt very underwhelming comparing to most books, movies or games even. IMHO a complete waste of time.
that's valuable info.<p>wikipedia actually makes the game sounds interesting unlike a typical dating sim.<p>WARNING possible spoilers, don't read if you plan to play, but just know it's not just a dating sim.<p>> while it appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, it is a metafictional psychological horror game that extensively breaks the fourth wall.<p>> Reviewers pointed out that the game's horror was built on the destruction of a sense of control over what happens in the game and the feeling of helplessness that stems from the distortions in the game's world
I played this game recently and you have to click through several screens telling you that it's disturbing to open and play it
It's worth the experience to play that game once.<p>And I guess it's not worth porting games for adults to walled gardens.<p>Note that i said games for adults, not adult content. If you're expecting porn, move along.
It's totally free, give it a try if you're interested! It's also been ported to a variety of platforms unofficially (Wii and 3DS ottomh)
Which fringe puritanical lobbbyist group is going to step up and take credit for this one<p>(reference <a href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/steam-now-bans-games-that-violate-the-rules-and-standards-of-payment-processors-and-banks-164222173.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.engadget.com/gaming/steam-now-bans-games-that-vi...</a>)
It's a relatively old game, so I'll put up here a spoiler so to remove potential confusion:<p>DDLC is a __horror__ game that contains some gore, death, and self harm content, as well as small fourth wall breaking, disguised as a Japanese Visual Novel style soft/hard porn game. The entire game is a figurative jumpscare. Which makes it technically true to call it a "disturbing and shocking" game, but not as in """disturbing and shocking""" as in the euphemism for <i>pornographic</i>. It is technically correctly rated and marked as such. It just doesn't say viewer discretion of what kind is recommended.<p>And also: a lot of these Japanese pastel colored things, Visual Novel games included, are in fact not intended for kids, especially under 15. It's not like picture books for 6-12 year olds. Audience gender distribution is often closer to 50:50 than what many assumes.
Doki Doki Literature Club is a game that I played, and then replayed, purely on the basis of recommendations by trusted reviewers. The genre (visual novel) and theme (anime pin-up schoolgirl) are ones that I have no interest in. I was extremely glad that I did play it, though; it was a profoundly thought-provoking experience. It was extremely disturbing in the best possible way.<p>Definitely not for kids, though, and it's worth taking the content/trigger warnings seriously.
It's available on Itch: <a href="https://teamsalvato.itch.io/ddlc" rel="nofollow">https://teamsalvato.itch.io/ddlc</a><p>(I've never played it.)
DDLC is one of those once in a lifetime gaming experiences. Like most people commenting - I had no interest in the style or genre, but I am immensely glad I played it!<p>I distinctly remember sitting there in silence with my mouth open at a number of points during the game.<p>I went down the ~~<i>MONIKA~_</i> route, though I was intrigued by %<i>]~JUST_MONIKA%]€_</i> - She seemed like an interesting character.
Walled gardens are antithetical to personal computing. Google is killing ChromeOS in favor of Android.
I'm so tired of the paternalism from Google and Apple. And of course we have little choice, since we've surrendered to monopolists and walled gardens.<p>It's disgusting, really, that most of the world is totally fine with this. Most people probably don't even realize how bad this is.
I guess they don't like Monika.
This is a great game especially on PC. I don't know if the hidden files are available on mobile, but it was a great dive into hiding data in plain sight, with the game files, from decoding binary hidden in images, to spectrograph QR codes hidden in audio. Friend recommended the game to me and I'll never forgive them, only Monika.
Surprising, even by Google's standards. DDLC is a violent game but not much more. What app store rule exactly is it breaking?
Self-harm (especially when depicting minors) has special standards. The recent court losses on child safety for Meta and YouTube probably led to this.
"Violent"? Do you consider news reporting to be violent too? This isn't remotely in the league of all the shooter games you can find on the store.
When journalism shows death or gore, they do often call it violent imagery. So... yes? Violent imagery is imagery of violence. The news report is not itself violence, but it contains violence.
Gore in shooters is culturally treated as much less "violent" than e.g. graphic scenes of suicide. You could make an argument that it <i>shouldn't</i> be, but it is.
There are countless games on the store that let you kill endless hordes of humans in detail...
This game was released via a physical release on the Nintendo Switch.<p>It's very clearly intended for teens+.
Well, at least we can "sideload" this easily with minimum attrition, right?
In a few months Google will automatically deploy new software on our devices. This will be for our benefit and to help protect us.<p>If you still want to sideload dangerous unnaproved applications, first just ask Google for permission and then a day later they'll let you sideload applications to your device. I'm so grateful that they are allowing us to do this and protecting us.
If you wait 18 years before being able to install apps outside Google Play you get a nice bonus of automatically becoming age verified in a private manner. So don't complain, it's for your own good.
The game is free and should run on any potato PC or even Mac (w/ Rosetta on Apple Silicon).<p>Google can suck on a lemon.
As someone pointed out why do we even bother with age ratings if we’re just going to ban games entirely for having wrongthink?
Because there are always moral panics, always some "thing" that's corrupting the youth, be it television, rock-and-roll, D&D, video games or now social media, and people keep thinking giving in to the moralists will protect the children.<p>But the moralists are never satisfied, and their war on free expression, art and culture never ends.
You’ve got the 80s and 90s covered. But you’re missing the more recent post-2016 moral panics, like being able to listen to an episode of Alex jones, which spurred the current issue in tech especially YouTube.
Aside from the comments on the rest of this thread, I’ll point out this unique point:<p>If this game’s content is objectionable, where was Google 5 months ago when it was released? Are they admitting that they don’t review apps that are submitted? Do their reviewers have zero familiarity with major multi-platform game releases?<p>How are they justifying the availability of the Grand Theft Auto or Resident Evil series on the Android platform if this game can’t be published?<p>Hopefully this turns out to be some kind of error or misunderstanding that gets corrected.
It's obvious that the game was yanked as a reaction to the current moral panic regarding technology and mental health in minors, not for the violence or gore.<p>This is just how moral panics are. We can say we just wanted social media to be 16+, but after the lawsuits roll in, no one is going to take a nuanced stance. Steam and EGS didn't stand up for Horses either, even after those devs changed the objectionable content, because earlier headlines made the work toxic in the current world.
I suspect someone got upset after indulging in the game mistaking it to be a rare undeleted porn gem remaining on major platforms. There was a(likely co-incidentally) weird, sternly worded warning letter issued by Jordanian government specifically about this game few weeks back. My reading of that event is that likelihood of wrong people falling into the trap the wrong way is not zero.
Why doesn't DDLC release a webapp bypassing app stores?
Seems Google needs Mastercard/Visa treatment.<p>Provide the content, content provider
Self-harm (especially when depicting minors) has special standards. The recent court ruling on child safety against Meta probably led directly to this decision.
(spoiler) The conspiracy seeking part of my brain is fascinated by the fact a company whose decisions are increasingly ai made or moderated doesn't want people to play a game that requires deleting a psychotic stalker off your hard drive...
This is why a monopoly is bad. Google can dictate who has access or retains access.
Google can dictate who has or retains access to <i>their</i> market, but that doesn't make them a monopoly, since other markets exist. This game is still available on Steam and probably elsewhere.
I think the issue is that Google deliberately decided to market its closed down app store as a necessity to regulators, in order to 'keep users safe'.<p>Which invites censorship from morality police types.
For those of us who didn't know the game but want to try it due to the Streisand effect, is there an official APK download? Since it's free on Steam, I thought the official website might list an APK, but I haven't found anything other than the Play link.
Google and Apple know better than you what you want to play and what you want to do on your phone.
Visa and Mastercard know better than you what you want to buy.
Don't disagree with them, because they're only doing this for your own good.
Let's not mince words. Whoever made this call is a lily-livered, paternalistic chickenshit startled by their own shadow. A nasty case of moral cowardice, coupled to poor judgement, to no-one's benefit.
If you want to play bishoujoge, just play the PC version so you don't have to deal with things being censored. The Play Store and App Store do not allow R18 images so the games have to be censored.
Soviet Union collapsed, bit its cause lives on, now unexpectedly in the West.
fun game, I don’t want to spoil it but it’s got some elements that you will def appreciate more as a software dev once you get that far in
I really despise these christo fascist led tech companies that think they can dictate what we are able to see/play, etc.<p>Meanwhile the people that lead them go to certain islands.
This is why we need developer verification - so Google can protect us from threats like this /s
Googled this and it's that underage anime girl stuff.<p>It is good that google banned this, it is pedo material.
