Unironically this is my first thought when I really learnt the rules of drinking games. I thought "people like to drink but you drink when you lose???"
Yes I am great at parties why do you ask?

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

That's why I like drinking games that punish the winner, it's a self balancing effect! In college we used to do fighting game nights and winner kept playing and did a shot. Pretty quickly everyone got to a similar skill level
Now this is how you balance a game.
We did this a lot at Halo 2 LAN parties, it was great
that's how you know whether it's an american or european drinking game. my theory is that it's a religion thing
Yeah, this ends up with one person getting progressively more wasted as the night goes on while the others are barely buzzed. I watched it happen to people many times while I was in college
Spoken like someone who's never lost Death Cup
This is my primary critique of female protagonist h-games that lock all their h-content behind failure states like losing combat. It puts the hentai at odds with the gameplay.
Yeah but eventually you need to progress in order to unlock new scenarios that can be failed, therefore unlocking new "bad" endings.
Honestly, the ludonarrative parallels to the experience of a sub are impeccable. The label of "failure" is a reward in-and-of itself and tying it to the actual game experience of failure fills the same role as pain or bondage in BDSM. Yet, like a comic artist needing to learn how to draw well in order to be able to draw "messily" well, a sub has to learn how to navigate their sexual life with skill so they can learn to "fail" in new and more hot ways. The player enjoys their liberty and "competence" all the more knowing that at any point the game designer can yank the chain and make them eat dirt.
🫵 found the sub
So clearly we need more games where the sex scenes are a reward for playing correctly, and making mistakes results in less exciting events
GTA SA.
Grand Theft Auto: Sturmabteilung
Accurate for most other eroge too tbh.
me playing changed...
Fail once to see it, triumph on the second attempt to see some more.
Something, something, something... Pathologic.
Clearly someone never played a certain Atelier series title.
