    My friend made Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015. He explained it to me and I was like, “who tf showered with their dad growing up!?” Surprisingly the friend group was split in half on that one and it was common.

    Anyway, I told him I’d grab it just have it appear in my library, but it’s half fun. I remember unlocking the Inglorious Bathdads mode, thinking he was genius.

      Only $1!? Okay, yeah, I am definitely picking this up later on. I love weird and wacky games and your friend made something very, very special to the point it was played by big YouTubers such as PewDiePie. Tell your friend I said hi, too! :D

        Yeah that blew his mind. Then he got invited to game dev conferences and said along the lines of, “It felt weird being there and introducing myself to actual game developers.”

    Fps chess - not bad really, the mechanics are but thats part of the charm

    Muck - made for a game jam, fun with friends

    Retail royale - ikea themed battle royale, no more than 12 players online typically

    The looker - satire game based on the watcher

    Leaf blower revolution - cookie clicker style idle game with more engaging mechanics. Not bad really but a time waster fs

    Unturned - just a classic but still silly

    Lunch lady - group survival horror game, played it once, not great

    Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment

    Peasant royale - self explanatory I think

    Rust

    Maybe not quite the answer to the question you asked, but I have a relevant story.

    My very favorite YouTuber is named “Any Austin”. (Just stay with me here.) And he has a show called “VG Wham” in which he goes to some e-store for video games (the Switch eStore, the PlayStation e-store, Steam, whatever) and purchases a game priced $2 or under and plays/reviews it.

    Fully expecting it to be terrible, mind you. He does honestly review the games and gives his thoughts about them, but it’s still mostly comedy content. Not generally the sort of show you’d watch to find good games to potentially buy and enjoy.

    But one game in particular he clearly loved was “Radiation Island” by a studio called “Atypical Games.” The episode of VG Wham in question is here. But he loved this particular game so much he streamed a full playthrough that itself is a masterpiece. And throughout he constantly flip flops from deriding it ot praising it to praising it ironically. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen.

    And the game itself makes zero sense, it’s absolute purchased assets trash, kindof minimum viable product as a game, really just churned out in about 5 minutes for a buck. And it’s evident from Any Austin’s stream.

    I rewatched that stream just recently and decided to go ahead and purchase the game. I’d seen it played, but didn’t really know what it would be like to play it myself. I really didn’t know whether it was going to be crap or awesome.

    If anyone else picks it up, I highly recommend the hardest difficulty.

    I haven’t yet played the sequel “Radiation City.” Any Austin streamed it, but didn’t like it as much. I bought a copy and intend to play it at some point, but I haven’t started it yet.

    Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships

    Now, this one may surprise you, but I recently bought Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a joke. And no, I did not pay $70 for the game. In fact, I bought it for a far more cheaper price on CDKeys since they were having a huge sale for North American/European game keys. Was on sale for roughly $16, a huge steal in my eyes. Like bro, $70 USD for this game? Yeah, no, I’m not paying that much if this game is in this state. Capped it only because I wanted to get it to laugh at it. I originally was planning to get it through the free Prime Gaming offer, but through past complications with Amazon charging us even after repeatedly cancelling our Prime subscription, I went against getting a free trial for Amazon Prime and we just ended up buying a digital Steam key.

    I have been loving the game, in a very ironic way. I’m serious. I only bought the game to see how bad it truly was and to laugh at the game’s bad design choices (mostly the lackluster story). I just wanted the game for shits and giggles, nothing serious. I only like the game because of how goddamn bad it is. Literally wanted to laugh out loud while I was playing through the first 2 hours. It’s so bad, but hilariously bad. The story doesn’t make sence, either - why was the Suicide Squad recruited by a literal FBI agent? I get that it’s about the Justice League becoming evil and all, but it still doesn’t make any sense to me.

    Needless to say, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because I like laughing at it.

    EXTRA NOTE: In short, save your money until there’s a huge sale or another free offer. God save Rocksteady.

      I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.

        Yeah, I agree. It is extremely disappointing to know that this was Kevin Conroy’s farewell. His swan song. The man deserved to have a much better end to his career. Heck, even Orson Welles had a much better one when Netflix dropped his unreleased movie “The Other Side of the Wind”. Kevin Conroy deserved to go out with a bang. Not a mere whimper.

        The game’s concept was good but the execution of it was terrible in so many departments.

        It’s another one of those “great concept with bad execution” examples.

      Also, of COURSE I got Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. My Steam library truly didn’t feel complete until I got gifted the game.

      I only wanted the game as a joke, not for any serious reasons. But dang, it’s actually a fun time-waster.

        I’ve bought that game quite some time ago as a meme

        The devs behind it appearently started hosting contests for it so joined them for the heck of it.

    Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it’s such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I’m too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it’s now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.

      A friend gifted me snowrunner. I didn’t think I’d like it. In fact the learning curve was so steep (and the beginner trucks so bad) that I actually rage quit it the first time I played it.

      I now have over 500h lmao

    My friend and I saw an ad on TV for Dance Central for Xbox 360 and the kinect. We had a good laugh. He ended up buying it for me for Christmas. For the joke, we played it and next thing you know, I mastered most of the dances and they are legit. Definitely up’d my dancing game at the club.

      Ah, yes, the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog Xbox 360 game (Sonic '06). Weirdest fricking Sonic game in existence. And not weird as in bad, but weird in general. Why was Sonic having sensual moments with a human princess? Why are we running around aimlessly in a city? Why are the controls so bad? All of these weird design choices just makes it… interesting, to say the least.

      I’d pick it up just for shits and giggles.

    When I was in high school I saw a game called “Prison Tycoon” in a shopping mall Babbages and bought it for my brother as a dumb Christmas gift. I was in the store with a friend and we were kind of in shock. I remember my friend making a comment like “The box cover is just a cop beating a black man with a baton, how many people are involved in getting a game stocked by shopping malls?”
