Deceptichum, to freegames in [Itch.io] *HOME* 1, 2, and Classic
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wish it gave a bit of an overview of the game/plot rather than only mentioning the art is drawn in paint.

Also this title looks like it would’ve been perfect for the Official Hamster Republic Role Playing Game Construction Engine

smeg,

Still more description than a lot of the itch.io games I find, though sometimes it’s fun to roll the dice and discover it it’s a half-baked prototype or a hidden gem!

“Sale ended yesterday”

It’s the 29th, not sure if it was a mistake on their part or they decided to end it early.

smeg,

FYI the sale is back on again for another month in case you missed it before

EnderofGames,

Thanks for notifying me!

smeg,

Oh that’s a shame. It did say the 31st before but I have noticed that some itch.io sales do seem to end early, I guess it’s usually up to one person and they’re free to end it when they like.

Neat! Good luck and lots of fun to everyone participating. Unfortunately, I will be too busy with trying to finish my contribution to Fuck Capitalism Jam and future jams to learn how to code gba roms - even if they allow (but not recommend) GBStudio.

It looks really fun, I have to set myself a reminder to check the results in August.

Whoah I didn’t know they ran a GBA Game Jam 2024 two years ago in 2022. 😲

Apparently this one has been extended for a few months

Ye. Maybe 3-5 good ones. A short hike is in there, that one‘s pretty good. Also that bar sim game thing, that one‘s good too. But too much Luigibeeteequeue dating sims. Way too much.

Soo… What are sone Highlights in this bundle? I guess, That many Games Contain a lot of, sorry, shovelware and rushed attemps

Megaman_EXE,

I was curious, so I looked through to see what games I at least know of/have seen before.

A short hike (I liked it, it’s definitely worth playing)

Wandersong

Bleed 2

Coffee talk (played a bit of it, An interesting visual novel)

Fetum betula(I REALLY liked it. This is worth the price of the bundle alone, in my opinion. It’s not super long, but it’s creepy/unsettling)

Anodyne(I didn’t finish this one, but I enjoyed it enough. It seemed to have good reviews)

Is it over or did the site get the hug of death? The link isn’t working for me.

Ziggurat,

Works for me

Holy! $1,600 worth of games for $8?

I’m not the paying type, but this is a very interesting offer and I’m considering it.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Scanning through the list, it’s more like $20 worth of games I’ll actually play for $8. But still pretty good! I saw about 5 games in interested in trying, and I’m sure I’ll find more later.

theshatterstone54,

I saw 1 at $4 that I liked, but I’ll probably find another one I like for $4 or so, which means all the otger games are essentially free.

And if we can do, and want to donate more, ofc, still worth it. For the purpose.

I don’t think I will play them, for now, except the specifically transgender friendly, maybe.

Note: Projects in this bundle are hidden in your library by default until you first access them in order to avoid flooding your library. You can return to this page at any time to access any projects you wish to show in your library.

I don’t get this part though. Itch did this before for another big bundle.

It seems like accessing the game page is not “access”. So I guess it’s downloading or installing them?

In the itch app I don’t even see them in my library?

smeg, to freegames in [itch.io] 53 little indies from *Carlos Junior*

Another cool looking one (i.e. one with actually nice graphics) is Voo de dimensão, an arcadey flying game through some kind of vapourwave dreamscape

smeg, to freegames in [itch.io] 53 little indies from *Carlos Junior*

One that caught my eye was futebol de botão JR, which seems to be a turn-based 5-a-side football game a bit like subbuteo crossed with curling

JohnEdwa, to gaming in Palestinian Relief Bundle - Itch.io

There is also a TTRPGs for Palestine bundle here, though I have issues reaching the site currently, might be a hug of death.

Isn’t Isreal blocking all aid into gaza?

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

From the few snippets I’ve seen, they have downright been killing aid workers. It’s so fucked.

Doods,

The only aid that could actually help is buying Palestinians guns, carried by people who know how to use them.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

If history has taught us anything, it’s that just giving guns to people is a terrible idea.

Doods,

Ok, I see your point.

How about sending trained soldiers and cooperating with Hamas?

Or more easily, stopping trade with Israel?

Or more easily and more profitably, stopping weapon donations to Israel at the very least?

I am not speaking to you personally, but if people stop talking about things they become forgotten, so here I am speaking.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Diplomacy is usually the way to go.

I realize that this is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved.

Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.

Doods, (edited )

US defaultism detected on Lemmic soil, lethal force engaged.

I find diplomacy hard when one side has been going for complete annihilation of Palestinians, which is only a logical continuation of a 3/4 century long conflict.

And that one side includes almost every governemnt, including the Palestinian “governemnt”.

But sure, diplomacy’s great, if they stopped attacking tommorow, retreated, and said they want to negotiate, and somehow had sufficient evidence to prove that it isn’t a trick, and that they reflected and regretted half a century of genocide in 1 day, I would advocate for their diplomatic attempt.

Random rant of the day: A few months ago I read an article that said: “after Hamas killed thousands of civilians on the 6th of October”; at the time Israel was doing its thing for at least a week and their ‘reported’ kill count wasn’t even a thousand yet, I hate these liars.

DdCno1, to gaming in Palestinian Relief Bundle - Itch.io

It’s very disappointing to see this site funnel funds towards a highly questionable organization with close ties to Hamas and other terrorist organizations:

ngo-monitor.org/…/palestine_children_s_relief_fun…

derbis,

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.

Critical thinking is not your forté my man.

DdCno1,

I’m usually accused of questioning things too much and overdoing it, so I’m not sure what to make of your attempt at trying to insult me.

I also find it peculiar that none of you decided to actually read the page and the many individual pieces of evidence that support the claim that this supposed aid organization has fundamental issues, but instead shoot the messenger (either me or NGO Watch).

Don’t you do some background checks on the sources you read & quote? Or do you tend to follow the herd? Here’s some info from Wikipedia on the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong “along with some manipulative interpretation”.[21]

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played “fast and loose” with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]

In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a “disregard for basic facts” when writing about human rights.

Imagine how hateful and depraved you would have to be to pay tons of money to Google Ads to promote your page and agenda to deceptively block people from donating money to those in need. That’s NGO Monitor and that’s what you’re supporting.

Edit: I’m sure you’re also very interested to find out the facts behind Israel’s accusations of UNRWA workers so here’s the latest:

It’s very disappointing to see someone come to a post about a game bundle to support Palestine only to uncritically surface claims from a site with a blatant pro-Israel, pro-Zionism bias. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing. Zionism is a sect of Judaism characterized by an extreme ethnic nationalist doctrine (with expected bedfellows). NGO Monitor repeats the utter nonsense that being Anti-Zionist or Anti-Israel is somehow anti-Semitic. It’s not - the earliest anti-Zionists were Jews. The idea that being against or critical of Zionism is the same as being racist against Jews is an absurd fiction pushed by Zionist foreign policy in order to insulate Israel from all forms of criticism; sadly, it seems to be working. In any case, I’m not inclined to believe one word printed by NGO Monitor where Israel or Palestine are involved.

LassCalibur,

Wikipedia states that NGO Monitor’s focus is to “End promotion of ‘politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas’ by certain NGOs,” that they report “on international NGO activity from a pro-Israel perspective,” and that a former online communication editor employed with the group was indefinitely banned for biased editing. Personally I’m more inclined to trust a Wikipedia article with 75 sources unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary.

Yes and check the page of the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played “fast and loose” with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]
