Ye. Maybe 3-5 good ones. A short hike is in there, that one‘s pretty good. Also that bar sim game thing, that one‘s good too. But too much Luigibeeteequeue dating sims. Way too much.

Soo
 What are sone Highlights in this bundle? I guess, That many Games Contain a lot of, sorry, shovelware and rushed attemps

Megaman_EXE,

I was curious, so I looked through to see what games I at least know of/have seen before.

A short hike (I liked it, it’s definitely worth playing)

Wandersong

Bleed 2

Coffee talk (played a bit of it, An interesting visual novel)

Fetum betula(I REALLY liked it. This is worth the price of the bundle alone, in my opinion. It’s not super long, but it’s creepy/unsettling)

Anodyne(I didn’t finish this one, but I enjoyed it enough. It seemed to have good reviews)

Note: Projects in this bundle are hidden in your library by default until you first access them in order to avoid flooding your library. You can return to this page at any time to access any projects you wish to show in your library.

I don’t get this part though. Itch did this before for another big bundle.

It seems like accessing the game page is not “access”. So I guess it’s downloading or installing them?

In the itch app I don’t even see them in my library?

There is also a TTRPGs for Palestine bundle here, though I have issues reaching the site currently, might be a hug of death.

Isn’t Isreal blocking all aid into gaza?

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

From the few snippets I’ve seen, they have downright been killing aid workers. It’s so fucked.

Doods,

The only aid that could actually help is buying Palestinians guns, carried by people who know how to use them.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

If history has taught us anything, it’s that just giving guns to people is a terrible idea.

Doods,

Ok, I see your point.

How about sending trained soldiers and cooperating with Hamas?

Or more easily, stopping trade with Israel?

Or more easily and more profitably, stopping weapon donations to Israel at the very least?

I am not speaking to you personally, but if people stop talking about things they become forgotten, so here I am speaking.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Diplomacy is usually the way to go.

I realize that this is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved.

Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.

Doods, (edited )

US defaultism detected on Lemmic soil, lethal force engaged.

I find diplomacy hard when one side has been going for complete annihilation of Palestinians, which is only a logical continuation of a 3/4 century long conflict.

And that one side includes almost every governemnt, including the Palestinian “governemnt”.

But sure, diplomacy’s great, if they stopped attacking tommorow, retreated, and said they want to negotiate, and somehow had sufficient evidence to prove that it isn’t a trick, and that they reflected and regretted half a century of genocide in 1 day, I would advocate for their diplomatic attempt.

Random rant of the day: A few months ago I read an article that said: “after Hamas killed thousands of civilians on the 6th of October”; at the time Israel was doing its thing for at least a week and their ‘reported’ kill count wasn’t even a thousand yet, I hate these liars.

DdCno1, to gaming in Palestinian Relief Bundle - Itch.io

It’s very disappointing to see this site funnel funds towards a highly questionable organization with close ties to Hamas and other terrorist organizations:

derbis,

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.

Onihikage,

It’s very disappointing to see someone come to a post about a game bundle to support Palestine only to uncritically surface claims from a site with a blatant pro-Israel, pro-Zionism bias. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing. Zionism is a sect of Judaism characterized by an extreme ethnic nationalist doctrine (with expected bedfellows). NGO Monitor repeats the utter nonsense that being Anti-Zionist or Anti-Israel is somehow anti-Semitic. It’s not - the earliest anti-Zionists were Jews. The idea that being against or critical of Zionism is the same as being racist against Jews is an absurd fiction pushed by Zionist foreign policy in order to insulate Israel from all forms of criticism; sadly, it seems to be working. In any case, I’m not inclined to believe one word printed by NGO Monitor where Israel or Palestine are involved.

LassCalibur,

Wikipedia states that NGO Monitor’s focus is to “End promotion of ‘politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas’ by certain NGOs,” that they report “on international NGO activity from a pro-Israel perspective,” and that a former online communication editor employed with the group was indefinitely banned for biased editing. Personally I’m more inclined to trust a Wikipedia article with 75 sources unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary.

Yes and check the page of the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong “along with some manipulative interpretation”.[21]

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played “fast and loose” with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]

In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a “disregard for basic facts” when writing about human rights.

Critical thinking is not your forté my man.

DdCno1,

I’m usually accused of questioning things too much and overdoing it, so I’m not sure what to make of your attempt at trying to insult me.

I also find it peculiar that none of you decided to actually read the page and the many individual pieces of evidence that support the claim that this supposed aid organization has fundamental issues, but instead shoot the messenger (either me or NGO Watch).

Don’t you do some background checks on the sources you read & quote? Or do you tend to follow the herd? Here’s some info from Wikipedia on the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong “along with some manipulative interpretation”.[21]

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played “fast and loose” with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]

Imagine how hateful and depraved you would have to be to pay tons of money to Google Ads to promote your page and agenda to deceptively block people from donating money to those in need. That’s NGO Monitor and that’s what you’re supporting.

Edit: I’m sure you’re also very interested to find out the facts behind Israel’s accusations of UNRWA workers so here’s the latest:

Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.

Rentlar, to pcgaming in Palestinian Relief Bundle [358 items on itch.io for 8$]

Heck yeah! That’s an instant get for me (and I put in double the minimum for the good cause)

If you want to be prepared for society to collapse, you already have a renewable off-grid source of food, water and electricity but need entertainment, these game bundles will be what you need.

For anyone buying this bundle, or has ever purchased one before, the bundle browser is an essential way to sort and find what games you own.

randombundlegame.com

You can filter games by what was in previous bundles so you can see what purely new games you are getting and what are dupes.

But seriously, don’t be afraid to dive in and try the many, MANY games made by small indie devs. This is a great way to discover hidden gems that otherwise might not ever get a chance, and other small projects which might not be your typical game but an interesting experience regardless.

Nice! PCRF is legit too, one of the better charities out there.

Zehzin, to games in Palestinian Relief Bundle
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

Of those games I have played and recommend:

A Short Hike, Wondersong, Underhero, Bleed, Grindstone.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Spring Falls looks cool too, it reminds me of *Instant Farmer". Probably pretty short, but it looks really satisfying.

Pixross looks like a same I played on a tablet years ago, which was a lot of fun.

There’s a lot of weird stuff in there, but I think there’s also enough value to justify getting it even without the charitable donation. Excellent bundle!

Rai,

COW LIFE SIM RPG the most important game and I’m not being cheeky plz play it

Edit: trust me don’t worry about the art

davidgro, to games in Palestinian Relief Bundle by ghosthunter and 358 others

So
 Are any of them good? So far I haven’t even recognized any.

A lot of them are listed as TTRPGs (which I assume is a PDF of rules) and most of the rest look like game jam entries. (Something slapped together in a few days)

Essence_of_Meh,

Here are the few I’m familiar with:

  • Anodyne - tried it few years ago and it seemed pretty decent, need to go back to it eventually.
  • Coffee Talk - still in my backlog but looks like a coffee version of VA-11 Hall-A. Nice art style, saw positive opinions about it.
  • They Bleed Pixels - fun but challenging platformer with lots of bloody combat.
  • Wandersong - got pretty famous for a while. Haven’t played it myself but what I saw seemed like a great little title.
any1th3r3,

I’ve only quickly skimmed through, but another two:

  • A Short Hike, adventure/exploration game with relaxing gameplay, I really recommend this one
  • ZeroRanger, “old-school” shmup with awesome gameplay and ost, if you’re into shmups it’s almost worth getting the bundle for this one alone tbh
itchick2014,

I purchased the bundle and so far have been playing Spring Falls, Pixross, Beglitched, and Shutter Stroll. I am enjoying all of those.

Rhotisserie,

Honestly it has a lot of good games, and at this price you can justify it by just one or two (like wandersong.)

Tattorack, to games in TIL you can remove tags such as horror from itch.io using ?exclude=tg.horror in the url.
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I use this to hide visual novels, otherwise one would drown in them.

Unfortunately it only works for excluding just one tag, and there are people in the forums, going as far back as 8 bloody years, begging for there to be a proper tag exclusion system.
