Repeating something you already said is not discussion, it is just being rude and dismissive. Suppose there was a "water sale" with a completely random selection of games. Likely every game has some sort of depiction of or reference to water and it is completely objective yet some might expect a water themed sale to feature games with something more than a background puddle. Similarly, even with subjective themes it could be expected that someone would find particular games to distinctively fit the theme.

Unless I am misunderstanding what "kawaii" means, including NSFW titles does have a distinctly objectifying feel to it.

IIRC from previous discussion the reason sales never follow the theme much is that they are largely self selected by publishers who mostly pick when they want games to be on sale. A "no NSFW titles" restriction for certain particular themes would be nice.

Checking Kanshudo I see: "で particle 1. indicates location of action; at; in 2. ...", so presumably it is intended to mean the digital equivalent of "you are the cutest in the store". Does it not actually sound like that in Japanese?

To give feedback to GOG, for instance. This isn't a random forum thread but a sale thread. Also, being willing to discuss something doesn't mean you are obligated to discuss it with every person who posts something. That isn't how this works at all. And if you know someone has a concussion why not be generous? If that is true I hope you recover soon Catventurer.

Thanks. I think the language GOG uses is on topic since we know how little editing they do (although it seems to have improved recently). I guess this discussion would need a native speaker, though. DeepL gives "...in the sale" for both GOG's version and the expanded version, with "at the sale" as the first alternative if you click on "in". So possibly GOG didn't mess up in this case.

A review complained that the game was a bit too tough for that player.. Apparently one needs to take into account food and other stuff. Do you think it would bearable for players who enjoy Wizardry-like games?

Food isn't a factor in either of these two games.

Elminage Gothic is very much like Wizardry 1-3 in terms of what you need to manage, including such mechanics as aging, stats sometimes decreasing at level ups, enemies capable of draining levels (though at least that's saved for the mid-game, at which point there's an easy way to power level characters), resurrection spells sometimes failing, alighment, and very similar class change mechanics. Someone who has actually played the early Wizardry games (1-3 and maybe 5) should be fine with Elminage Gothic, as long as they're expecting a challenge.

One thing that's different is that you can save anywhere and reload that save as much as you want (instead of the game auto-saving, preventing you from just reloading if something terrible like being teleported into solid rock happens), but the catch is that, on reload, your party will age some number of days depending on the dungeon. Simply traveling to the dungeon will also age the party that many days.

It's definitely bearable for players who can tolerate the early Wizardry games (though I did quit on the final 20-floor postgame dungeon, but not without getting more than my money's worth of entertainment). For those players that can't, however, it might be too much.

Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls is similar on the complexity meter, except with fewer classes, none of this aging stuff (though there is a hidden mechanic that may have some of the same effects), and less content in general.

Didn't we have the hentai sale just the day before? Is this what GOG is now?

I believe you are referring to last week's nsfw sale. No, that is not synonymous with hentai.

This one sale is completely different. I can't really figure out what it is that you're upset about.

Really man, what parallel dimension are you from ? I'm intrigued.

Oh shit you're right. I can't handle the amount of porn in Shenmue III, EARTHLOCK, Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, Solstice, Ikenfell, Star Renegades, CrossCode, Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp etc. And let's not forget the worst offender Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling.

But doesn't that last game you mentioned have bugs in it? Sounds like it may be a little buggy.

(Is it as buggy as, say, Hollow Knight? I'd imagine it doesn't have nearly as many bugs as Swarm Simulator.)

(For anyone who doesn't get the joke, note that the term "bug" has more than one meaning.)

It's absolutely a weird thing to say, you can take my word on that. But most of the English stuff they post in their sale posts is strange too. So you could say GOG didn't mess up any more than usual.

As for the other thing, it's one thing if someone is struggling with something and they excuse themselves because of a disability. It's another thing when someone is being an arsehole and blaming that on their disability and expecting everyone else to back off because of it.

Thank you for the useful information.

You're welcome.

As you say, it is what we expect from GOG.

Sadly, this is what we expect from you.
