They also added a "capybara" tag. Exactly one game in it.

I’m going to develop a new games called Capybara Idol Group Manager Simulator, where you have to schedule shows for Capybaras with big personalities.

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 months ago

I'll be waiting, let me know when I can wishlist it

[–] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depending on the situation yes, but this is still very much a simulator so the capybaras will complain quite a bit via email and you’ll have to fill out form 89.33b Non-cleaning Maid Clearance (non-military).

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

are the military maid clearance forms dlc?

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As I don’t like DLC this will be released in an update called WERE BEING INVADED BUT LETS DEFEND OUR CAPYBARA IDOLS.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 4 months ago

i was assuming they would turn into like magicapy girls and face the challenge themselves. that or mechs.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 2 points 4 months ago

My kid would love that

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago

They’re insidious, a warning is necessary.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 6 points 4 months ago

I thought there'd be way more games with Capybaras.

Finally! It's much easier to find what you're looking for when the description actually, you know, describes.

Now, if they would just narrow down the type of sexual content and gore.

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 46 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Then tag every fighting game with sadomasochism

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

Automatic f-list sync when?

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“NSFW” is a terrible label and people should stop using it.

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I appreciate that as what's currently tagged as Not Safe For Work (in many sources including Steam) are actually fine for work and adults, it's immature minds (usually those under 16) and people under the influence of conservative values that it's not safe for

And addicts I suppose

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 18 points 4 months ago

Omg did they just use the c bomb in that game? They did! I am going to complain!

Meanwhile at work - hey jack, some cunts on the phone for you!

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nothing new; they just renamed "unavailable in Germany" to "sexual content".

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In Europe it's less controversial to display nudity. Nudity and sex are 2 different things. However violence, blood and gore is generally hidden on screen.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Steam in Germany is a bit of a special case. Basically, they got criticized for years for offering adult-only games to minors on account of not having any kind of legally accepted age check.

Steam finally reacted to this but not by implementing PostIdent or some other age verification scheme. No, they just blocked German users from even seeing the store pages of anything that doesn't have an age rating in Germany. That mostly means porn games.

Hence my comment that "sexual content" and "unavailable in Germany" are pretty much the same thing as far as Steam is concerned.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's a pretty big change...

NSFW is useless for video games anyways.

But when it was tied to "gore", if you tried to hide shitty horny games, you ended up hiding the vast majority of games too.

"Sexual content" still isn't perfect tho, one "hot coffee" scene would likely trigger it like a game whose entire point is sus looking anime characters.

It wouldn't be bad if there wasn't so many, but it just clogs up the store with slop because dumb kids pay the $5-20 so the store pushes them. If someone breaks down and buys one, they're prob very likely to keep buying them. So the algo (blindly) pushes them on everyone.

They need to just admit that a significant number of games on steam only exist as porn. And then they'd be able to actually separate them. But that's a can of worms they'll want to ignore as long as possible.

[–] Poopfeast420@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago

Steam did change their general "mature content" filtering recently-ish I think. That's independent of tags.

In your account settings you can go to your Store preferences and enable or disable if you want "mature content", violence and gore, "some nudity", and possibly others, along with some example games for those categories.

Since I'm from Germany it stops at "some nudity", since more explicit stuff is blocked here anyway, but if you're from a more developed country you should get one or two more options.

That way you shouldn't need to rely on tags to filter out all the porn games (if that's what you want).

Who the fuck is playing Steam games at work?

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

One turn of Civ in between tickets is healthy for you

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Hell. reverse the order, a ticket between turns, and you'll be there forever. Just one more turn.

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 13 points 4 months ago

Well my boss told me to work hard. 🍆

[–] elvith@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago
[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 months ago

People with boring jobs with a lot of down time?

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Fair point on all the comments. I guess I was thinking of a cubical office.

I just can’t imagine anyone playing potentially NSFW games for the first time in an office environment. Then again I guess that may be why they are revamping the system.
