I think that's a deliberate decision, one of the benefits being that a new server doesn't destroy itself by immediately trying to download the entire history of the fediverse!

it doesn't pull in all the content unless someone subscribes

I think that's how Lemmy works too

 

In a dystopian future where corporations rule, a brutal reality show is the hottest entertainment property in town! You play as Scarlett Martillo, a contestant out for revenge. To win, you must navigate dangerous urban arenas packed with lethal traps and face off against hordes of heavily-armed psychopaths.

Each stage in Showgunners has been hand-crafted to create a curated, turn-based tactical gameplay experience, heightened with the inclusion of a diabolical show director that can hinder Scarlett or help her opponents depending on your performance. This dynamic level design ensures that no two levels play the same way and keeps players thinking tactically. Showgunners has been built to challenge and delight players, whether they're a turn-based tactical game initiate or a long-time fan of the genre!

I think it's an alternative way to access the same content, so probably exactly the same number of people you do and do not like

I guess they see GOG as a rival storefront (we know Epic love their exclusives), but the IA isn't potentially taking their business. Maybe, who knows?

Some kind of exploration farming indie for Windows

Did twitter have private accounts?

[–] smeg 36 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Err... you know all these comments are posted publicly and anyone can view them, right?

[–] smeg 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this a new paid DLC or just a big update? I assumed the latter but the name "Repentance+" sounds like a new expansion.

Crossbow-shooting sim for Android, free on Google Play

Crossbow shooting simulator based on real laws of ballistics

In the simulator, you can acquire crossbow shooting skills using different types of sights. You will learn, when aiming, to apply corrections for arrow drift by the wind and take into account the arrow drop depending on the distance to the target.

Lol, I have the exact opposite opinion. BotW took what made Zelda frustrating (annoyingly linear, samey, and poorly-explained) and gave you a whole world filled with puzzles and exploration!

 

Another classic "I'm briefly giving away all my game jam games for free". We've got simulators, RPGs, shooters, and copyright infringement.

 

Priest Simulator is an action-packed mockumentary set in a twisted version of modern Poland. Step into the shoes of a vampire priest on a mission to reclaim his batoon and return to Hell. Fight off shatanistic hordes, upgrade your powers, restore the church, and gather splendor.

Wield two of eight unique weapons simultaneously. Combine them as you see fit to defend San de Ville from shatanists and demonic forces, upgrading your arsenal with black metal.

Turn the run-down church into a thriving temple using restoration blueprints and modern technology.

Rescue villagers from demonic possessions caused by your corrupt predecessor.

Unlikely they'd get that from this, especially when everyone in the offices doing all the actual flight details is probably using normal Windows machines

An unexpected message in my inbox saying "You're actively participating in sharing scammy apps" sounds pretty aggressive to me. I'm not some employee who owes you a curated service, I'm just a rando posting free games I happen to find because I hope it might make someone happy to play them. Have a think about how accusations like that make others feel because people question why they bother making an effort if this is the kind of feedback they receive.

Anyway, I'm always happy to have a friendly discussion about what sort of thing people want to see posted here if you've got suggestions.

[–] smeg 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My very first line addresses that they contain shady practices, we're all adults here and I'd hope people use some judgement when deciding what to download.

You don't have to like this kind of game and it's fine to downvote if you think they're all shit, but please don't come in here with this kind of aggressive comment. A polite question about what kind of posts we want in the community is much nicer than accusing someone of being some kind of scam-peddler.

 

As usual these come with the warning of IAPs/ads/tracking

[Steam] Swap Fire (store.steampowered.com)
submitted 2 days ago by smeg to c/freegames
 

Swap Fire is a high-intensity game show based on RQI's latest teleportation technology. Shooting other players swaps your locations. Using this simple principle, players must out-wit and out-maneuver each other in 9 different game types!

Swap Fire was originally a Nintendo Wii U Exclusive. With the closure of the Wii U eShop, we've decided to preserve Swap Fire via Steam. We are especially excited about Steam Remote Play Together, which allows Swap Fire's local multiplayer experience to go online for the first time. Please check out our video tutorial for Steam Remote Play Together and be sure to share it with your friends. They don't need a copy of the game to play with you! To make the most of this opportunity Swap Fire is FREE from 11/11 - 12/12, 2024!!! After that, the game will be $9.99 as per Nintendo Reviewer's (see video link) recommendation.
