"Eurofuck games" Comparing games almost solely because they take place in Europe and have surface-level horror themes is crazy . Those are incredibly basic characteristics i Promise they have next to nothing in common. hope this helps!

i think part of the reason i love disco elysium and i guess eurofuck as a genre in general is because it is so far removed from american culture and so its relatable and incredibly refreshingly relatable to boot. but even then americans will try and shoehorn their culture into it or view it based on their own ideas of how the world works. they cannot view the european game set in fantasy europe made by a european team outside of an american lens and it is EXHAUSTINGGGGG. go play red dead redemption if you need some rootin tootin yeehaw shit in a series to enjoy it or engage with it in a normal way.

You had one fucking task

The entire internet has agreed that boycotting Eur*vision is the right thing to do because its organizers openly support a genocide. And that wouldn’t even be a minor inconvenience. To do the right thing you just had to sit and do nothing. Like, a slacktivist dream come true.

And what do I fucking see? My wokest fucking friends, fucking sjw avant-garde, are watching this shitshow and talking about it as if they aren’t fucking complicit in fucking genocide justification. And evidently that’s not a local issue. Multiple Eur*vision tags are trending all over the fucking world. And from what I’ve heard it’s not even the final yet.

You all shit on that Portland polycule guy for being a self proclaimed communist yet refusing to walk 15 minutes by foot. But you people are worse. He allegedly waived his ideology because of a minor inconvenience, you eurofuckers will ignore an active genocide for a couple of hours of slight amusement.

𝓸𝓴𝓪𝔂 𝓼𝓸

pathologic is a story-rich immersive survival RPG developed by indie studio ice-pick lodge. the premise is that you are one of three healers who has just arrived in a remote town deep in the russian steppe, and must now deal with an unexpected outbreak of a mysterious, incurable plague. along the way you will meet a broad cast of absolutely insane characters. some of them are gay

it has been compared favourably to disco elysium within a broader category of games affectionately referred to as "eurofuck"

*oh my gods THIS SOUNDS FASCINATING-*

brain has no time to go download a game and play it rn, but ohoho do i know what im gonna try wiki-diving for later but also OAIGHAOEIG EUROFUCK IM SORRY BUT IM CACKLING-

[eraserbitz]

okay so that post is blowing up and i've gone on a cursory search to see that eurofuck is already either a pejorative term for white(?) europeans, or a tag on porn websites for european porn. this is even sillier now

people happening to enjoy the same two or three pieces of media at the same time does not a genre make. at best what I can say is that maybe there's some recency bias going on,

but what I rly want to say is people are just reinventing SuperWhoLock for videogames

I’m actually literally getting the Eurovision app right now so we can make sure justice is served and Iceland wins

Just because I’ve seen people talk about it more than usual in places. But I seriously get so tired of people who’s customs limit is about 1000usd, or around that mark, like a few hundred dollars, complain about customs, and shit, and how unfair it is. While Eurofucks, like me, get taxes on the smallest shit. Main reason for me venting, I got snark for complaining about customs where I live, because reasons that have nothing to do with shipping, and customs. “At least you get free (insert random shit I’ve never used, or never been able to use, or actually had to pay for.) I had to pay ca 100usd on an item I got for 40usd, because shipping was outrageous because of the beer-virus. Where I live the customs is applied to anything above ca 40usd, including shipping. I’ve even gotten customs on items below that mark, for stupid reasons, such as them being checked, or because of the carrier used. Which I, in this time, can’t even really decide, because many of my orders got auto-changed to another carrier, even though I didn’t have to pay for the change, they still listed the shipping price they paid. Honestly, customs are absolute ass. I haven’t seen a point in this stuff ever, since it’s just a way to take money as punishment for daring to buy something internationally. And before someone comes with some "actually, there’s a good reason for it!” I don’t care. It’s unfair, especially when I pay my taxes, and everything, and I just wanna buy something nice, but then I gotta go through all these hoops, and get punished for it. Even though nothing like that gets offered where I live to begin with. Not forgetting that I technically also pay the tax within the country it comes from, because most shop will have a sales tax added on their sites, as I’ve found out.

How the fuck do you uke Eurofucks measure penis. I'm sorry but "8 inches" sounds more impressive than "20 centimeters" for whatever reason.

13. Ways my Muse seduces (or tries to) their love interest(s) for Brynget. I must know the wild Irishman’s mating dance

The man can cook & bake like nobody’s business, sing, and used to do both ballet and soccer (””””football”””” for yall eurofucks, he also calls it football which is unfortunate.) 

but like. with Bridget he trips on his own feet and fucks up his words and just sorta stumbles onto his flirting with the grace of a newborn giraffe. And hell, Bridget’s famous as the Boss of the Saints, so literally anyone who takes her on a date is gonna try and be fancy and take her to a restaurant or a movie or go skydiving, who the fuck even knows. So Brynden wants to do things different. 

He’d cook her supper himself, something simple but tasty that Bridget would like. Pizza? Everyone likes pizza, right? Or pizza bread? Like that pull-apart recipe I saw awhile back??

Scratch that. He frets over what recipe he’s gonna make for 3 hours before settling on one he knows they’ll both like, plus a dessert he knows she’ll definitely like even if it’s just for the absurdity of calling cheesecake brownie bars “slutty.” Plus popcorn and beers for later, cause what else pairs better with the shitty movie marathon Bryn’s got in mind?

Then plastic spoons, because they’re gonna finish off the night with watching the Room and making fun of it to hell and back.

that’s all bryn really has planned, figuring that they’ll either be too drunk to really continue, or just exhausted and wanting to go to bed more than anything else. so when the end of the night rolls around and they’re both surprisingly sober and not that tired, they end up cuddling on the couch while late night paid programming plays softly in the background.

maybe bridget’s playing with bryn’s hair. maybe bryn’s snuggling up against her shoulder while they talk about some bullshit or other. either way, they’ve enjoyed themselves, and bryn’s happy even if that’s all that happens. 

maybe he asks for a goodnight kiss, and maybe Bridget laughs at him and says she’s not going to bed yet and she’s not getting off of her comfy spot laying on top of him, so if he’s tired then she hopes the couch is good enough for him. maybe she begrudgingly moves off of him, only to climb into his bed a few minutes later because it’s cold and brynden’s a good space heater.

in any case, he gets his goodnight kiss.
