If enough people feel it's an RPG then I'll move it back, but I didn't feel like this was going to happen.

RiceARonin is 175 gigs once fully installed. That should be illegal.
They should have to give you a free ssd by law.
GameCube games with large save file sizes usually came with a free memory card.

Not sure about co-op, but someone I know is playing it and from seeing him play, it is a very fun game, though he has some issues with the difficulty of the fights (he is using the Dwarf character) and has to continually run around and employ various obstacle tactics to survive some encounters, which I think is something that co-op will not suffer from as much as when playing alone like he is. I am unsure exactly of the story and only saw the combat, but it looks like a lot of fun and so far the dialogue was also quite nice. There is a swamp area that makes me a bit perplexed with the dialogue lizard character speaking of "they destroyed our land", and he can speak fluent Common with an accent but the guy I know seems to like that character, so I can't say. I myself, without knowing the lizard guy, found that part to be quite a slap out of immersion due to how he speaks and for what he was saying.

It's not a very good game, but your options for couch coop rpgs are very limited, and among that bunch it's decent.

Can't you filter out the "Sexual Content" tag? I did this ages ago when Steam started allowing porn games on there.

you jest, but that's the actual reason Rusty keeps this tag unblocked. He's a massive fan of BG3 after all.

The problem with blocking any tag is there's no way to limit it to top 5 or something and a lot of games have bad tags near the bottom of their list.

Block adult only content and the one above it in content preferences, it solves the problem.

Anything more than this removes 80% of the store, which is what my settings have been for a long time:

top tag is even "sexual content"

Those are the best settings, I have no clue why you're getting recommended hentai visual novels. Maybe block the Anime or Hentai tag.

I took anime off ignore to find ***** games, going to have to put it back on ignore because 99% of games tagged anime are just porn games. Weebs are absolute cumbrains.

The one time I beat the annoying ******* tower defense event in Terraria on Expert is when I just wanted to move a chest without losing the event-exclusive resource in that chest. I tried like a dozen times to crack it before and failed every time.
