So, for what I think is the first time ever, I bought a game because of porn of that game.

I was browsing /aco/ over on 4chan - yes, my secret shame, but these are the Secret Files - and there was a thread for Stardew Valley. I had never heard of it, but hey. Anyhow, the porn was pretty good - here's a fine example - and it appeared to be a farm/romance sim, and I've been suffering from that ennui which I mentioned, so I bought it!

It's pretty good so far. I have some quibbles, but overall it's low-pressure fun. I like supporting independent game developers so dropping $15 to try it out was no problem.

However, as I said, I'd never heard of it until Hey! Porn! Which is an amusing entree into a game, and a sign to media producers of all sorts that shutting down fanart of your content, even smutty fanart, is actually a bad idea.

  1. I've heard good things about Stardew Valley, but as I played a lot of Harvest Moon back in the day, a new Harvest Moon-like game doesn't hold a huge attraction for me. I'm far too busy playing 'The Witcher 3' and 'Factorio' anyhow.
