richlind33: Re OP, if you're browsing at work you probably ought to be fired for putting your company's network at risk.
You cannot possibly be serious

Yes, thanks, I fixed the typo.

OP said on lunch. Most workplaces consider lunch outside of work hours, meaning you don't get paid for that time since it's actually your own time.

richlind33: A lot of people do have issues re sexuality, but the same can be said when it comes to critical thinking.
A lot of people come here because they were "critical thinkers" on other platforms. The sad thing is when people equate trolling with something brainy.

If you ran a business, you'd let your employees browse the internet on workstations?

Yes. Of course!

Not to shock you too much, but all non-insane companies are perfectly fine with their employees using their work computers for personal stuff, so long as work gets done and said personal stuff isn't illegal. Literally every single company I have ever worked at throughout my 26-year career didn't mind in the slightest.

To be honest I'd be appalled if a company would so much as suggest I couldn't do that, and I would never under any circumstances accept an offer from such a messed up place. So far as red flags go, that would be as red as it gets.

Ok I suggest
Dohna Dohna Let's do bad things together
It is not on gog but you can buy it drm free on mangagamer.
One of the best game I ever played and I played all the games you mention as good.
Both the VN par of the game so the writing and the gameplay (it's not just a VN) are really really good.
Also some games are like you say slop but some are actually good even when they are not masterpiece, like I think Huniepop is a good game (not a masterpiece but still good) and it's on gog.
I think you just decided they are all slop because you tried some bad games.

On my end I think one of the few things good about gog is that they don't discriminate between sex and not sex games, I think modern society is way too scared about sex stuff. There is nothing wrong with it. Some will argue "think of the children" but let's be honest, children are not interested, those filters are meant for adult that are way too ashemed of something that's part of life

alaric.us: While some violent games and horror games are actually great games, the vast overwhelming majority of porn games are low effort slop the only purpose of which is to extract a few dollars from sexually-frustrated basement dwellers.

Alert me when there's a sex game of the level of quality and cultural importance of Doom/Diablo/Hitman/Witcher/etc. I'll be sure to buy it and play it.

Until then, maybe we should be keeping storefronts free of trash, regardless of whether it's trash that emphasizes sex or trash that emphasizes something else.

idbeholdME: And we wonder why age verification is conquering the internet as we speak.
Digital slavery?
Credit Card Enforcement?
Date hoovering?

Whatever it is, it's nothing to do with adult crap.

So it'd be a dealbreaker if a company refused to let you install freeware on it's network? lol

What freeware? What are you taking about? You told a guy he should be fired for browsing the Internet on a company PC. Then you asked me if I'd let my employees browse if I ran a business. Now it's some kind of network freeware installation? If you have a point to make and if you are attempting to say things that are understood by others, I must say you are doing a remarkably poor job at both.

No company that takes network security seriously allows it's employees to browse the internet from inside it's network.

That's probably the most obvious way to compromise a network.

Actually, some companies used to have policies regarding off-business use of their machines... or even their networks. If you wanted to do private stuff, you brought your own laptop and paid to use your own internet access. In fact: that's easier than ever now with a smart phone in your pocket. There's little reason why a full-time modern employee does not have the ability to use their own device and own connection on their own time to run their own personal errands online. So the whole "the business won't let me browse on their machines" is not exactly as restrictive a policy as it once was in terms of personal freedom.

I still remember my (admittedly now outdated) Data Security classes at university discussing the weakest link in the chain situations in a network. Often, that was poorly secured personal machines using the business' network, and off-business browsing of websites that were not only an unnecessary site a business network should have to interact with, but also depending on the user's *ahem* personal proclivities, were not the safest of places to frequent with any device in the first place. If networks only access the connections they absolutely need to in order to function as intended, that network is a bit safer from certain breaches.

But, as personal internet use absolutely BOOMED in the last two decades, such concerns were pushed to the wayside and considered unimportant in the face of inconveniencing their employee's personal life. So, yeah, a lot of commercial enterprises don't give a sh*t anymore. No surprise then why the dark web is full of private company data dumps: too many holes to keep effectively plugged.
