I joined a multiplier lobby on ps5. To my surprise, there was voice chat, and I spent the next eight hours playing through most of act 1 with some friendly fellows from across the world. Eventually there was a sex scene, and the host graciously enabled the setting to let us all watch. "Multiplayer voyeurism" wasn’t on my bingo card for 2023, but it was an interesting experience. When I was 11 or so, I used to play StarCraft 1 custom games. Some of the maps rewarded the players by revealing a smutty image in the minimap if you won. It was funny seeing everyone suddenly go idle for a couple minutes after winning the map. Usually everyone disconnects right away. Somehow this reminded me of that.

> "Multiplayer voyeurism" wasn’t on my bingo card for 2023, but it was an interesting experience. Wasn't that more akin to watching a porn movie together with your buddies? "Voyerism" means you're watching as someone is having sex, not watching a recording of someone doing it in the past. (not to mention that here actually no one was having sex, it's just pixels in a video game).

  Technically the host was having sex, and we were all watching. Or technically no one was having sex, and we were all extremely amused. Whichever you prefer, given how into roleplaying you are. I used to play an old game called Underlight, where you weren’t allowed to break character. There was a lot of sexting, which got the tongue in cheek name of QRP aka Quality Role Play. Back then we had to imagine https://underlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/UthyTrial.jpeg https://underlight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/UthyTrial.... as something sexy, which in retrospect was quite a feat given that the avatars were from the original Doom engine. So we didn’t even have pixels in a video game, just our imagination; the ultimate mod.

    if I'm watching porn with a buddy on their television, it's still watching porn. please respect language a bit more than that, words have meanings.

      What if your buddy is controlling one of the porn actors?

        dude, he totally is already, when he hits rewind they do it ... in reverse! And when he hits pause they ... stop! zomg, that must be voyeurism because being able to control is a part of ... ummm ... wait...

It took you eight hours to get to a sex scene? I learned about the game's obsession with sex the second time I camped. Kind of put me off playing it, since that just keeps happening whenever you talk to anyone.

  They set out to get "the best sex scene" according to them, which - apparently - is the one you get when you betray the Druid defenders instead of repelling the oncoming horde. The horde leader is a woman who shows up in your dreams. One wonders if they used mocap animation. There were about four different positions during the ~3min scene. Bravo to the animators. I think that was about four hours in. We eventually got to a spider nest, and somehow just barely won. Then we ended up in the forest hag’s lair, and got our asses handed to us five times in a row, at which point we all passed out from exhaustion. That was probably the most fun I’ve had in a game in a long time. There were a bunch of memorable things. E.g. I was playing a berserker, and they told me to take off my armor because otherwise I wouldn’t get a special damage boost unique to berserkers. So I stripped off my breastplate and leggings, and then realized I could take off my bra and underwear too. They all burst out laughing when I stormed in to the next fight naked. (I was playing as that devil-looking woman that normally you recruit a few hours into the game, since I didn’t feel like setting up a character from scratch.)

  Famously, companions throwing themselves at you immediately was a bug they patched early on.
