I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They support free games. If only they supported free platforms to play them on...

I couldn't pass their capcha so I guess I'm a robot.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

Self-awareness is the first step to sentience.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it's been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Some countries banned Postal 2 so they can't give it to you if you live in, as a random example, Germany.

Congratulations on already living in the future they're protesting. Realistically they probably should have recognized this would be a problem and told you the specific error but their giveaway codes aren't really meant for this so whatever.

If you do live in a country like that you could, however, spend $70 on a year of Mullvad and be a Canadian as far as GOG knows or cares.

Maybe you should be doing that anyways, regardless of whether you want horny games and also Postal 2.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

Same, tried three different browsers. I HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT, FELLOW "HUMAN".

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I cant get by their 2fa. It sends the code like 4 hours later which by then the code times out.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

VPN to the UK.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (4 children)

And maybe ten of them will actually play any of the games.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh yeah I saw the list and am pretty sure I'm not even installing any of them, but claiming the bundle in solidarity

[–] CrazyHorse@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Apparently some of them are very good in their own right, telling a compelling and interesting story and not just being horny cash-grabs so I'm tempted to give them a shot.
I played the original Yu-No because of how it is the foundation upon which all modern visual novel games are built. That was a difficult experience and I do not recommend it to anyone not already very interested in the history of the genre, there is a lot of content there that is not for me.
But that was the game that made the industry say "oh shit, these things can be good, too".

Side-note: the modern rerelease of Yu-No has the more objectionable stuff stripped out, but then we've got to have the censorship discussion all over again.

Anyway. My point is this: I have also overlooked these games but might have to rethink that.

I'm one. I played one of the ones I didn't already have yesterday.

High Tail Hall?

[–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ya, looking over the list I couldn't be bothered to obtain a copy of "Helping The Hotties".

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Really? You'd leave the hotties unhelped?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

Hey, everyone, OP hates hotties and thinks they should stay unhelped!

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I didn't see the option, but also Huney Pop and others don't work on Linux.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Works fine on my Steam Deck.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can you just add them as nonsteam games?
Where do you install them to?

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 17 points 1 month ago

I used Heroic Games Launcher and added it as a non-Steam game.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Lutris is very likely your friend here

[–] carmo55@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

Can confirm it works fine with wine / proton

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

The linux version of Hunie Pop didn't launch for me on Fedora 42, but the Windows version did with Heroic using GE-Proton-Latest

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

i.e you are all a bunch of wankers

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey, it included Postal 2 as well! (But also guilty, and not ashamed to admit it.)

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wouldn't want to meet a person who wanks to Postal 2, though playing is fine.

I clicked on the bundle because I was curious to see it and now I have a bunch of porn games I guess. I don't have an issue with porn games but I don't play porn games so now I have a bunch of trash cluttering my library.

I was able to kinda hide them but they are still there.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huniepop is genuinely one of the better match 4 type games out there and has a bathing suit only mode if you are feeling adventurous.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

None of them are even remotely close to the sort of games I enjoy, the porn part isn't the issue I just don't care for "dating" sims or puzzle games.

I want to buy more from GOG but my only gaming system I have is a Steam Deck. I know the native Linux stuff should work ok but u always have problems getting windows stuff to work. Either through Heroic Launcher or Proton. I must be doing something wrong. All the guides I find are just wrong or out of date.

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hei give this a try, it helped me a lot for a gog game at least (Tunic). https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I'll give that a try, thanks

[–] orochi02@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

Make heroic add to Steam lib by default

If that dont work then idk

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

I want to buy more but I can't seem to find any games I actually wanna play or don't already own on Steam. This campaign did remind me that they exist and that I should try to support them more, so I think it was a net positive for me!

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Slaanesh is proud

[–] D06M4@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Would've been Pay2Fap, but it's free! (ง ื▿ ื)ว

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I literally cannot find a page with actual links to the games? Im not cross-referencing a damn porn bundle.

[–] thelasttoot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe the giveaway was only for 48 hours so it might be over

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It was also done with a code reclaim, not a link on their website.
