Looking for more AVN people to follow on Twitter/X

Alright, figured I’d ask the people most qualified for this.

Who are the good people to follow on Twitter/X in this space?

Not really looking for pure promo accounts or bots trying to sell me overlays fifteen seconds after following me. More people with actual personality. Funny people. Weird people. Reviewers. Writers. Developers. Players live posting their favorite scenes, or emotional collapse after finishing a route at 3AM.

The kind of accounts where you read one post and immediately think:
“Ah. This person’s probably a disaster. I like them already.”

Drop your own @’s.
Or recommend people worth following.

My Completely Unhealthy Being a DIK Route Plan

Nobody warns you that Being a DIK eventually stops being “that horny little college VN” and quietly turns into maintaining seventeen parallel timelines so you can explore different combinations of love, lust, emotional self-destruction, betrayal, and women who could absolutely ruin your life if they existed outside a save file.

Human beings were not meant to become this attached to rendered people.

And yet here we are.

Anyway, after an amount of planning that probably should’ve been directed toward something healthier or more employable, this is the route setup I’m going with:

**NEUTRAL ROUTE**
• All main girls -> Sage (don’t tell Chad)
• Date all main girls -> but Jill (do drugs)
• Date all main girls -> but choose Maya & Josy
• Date all main girls -> Bella
• Date all main girls -> Zoey

**CHICK ROUTE — NO RESTAURANT**
• Loyal Sage — no free roam branch
• Loyal Jill (no drugs)
• Loyal Jill + Bianca
• Loyal Maya & Josy
• Others + Restaurant (Josy only)
• Others + Restaurant (Maya only)
• Others + Restaurant (Zoey)
• Loyal Bella

**DIK ROUTE**
• Full manwhore route
• Sage + Jade + Don’t Show Tape
• Sage + Jade + Show Tape
• Sage route — bang everyone -> no Jade
• Others -> Elena
• Others -> Sally
• Others -> Sandy
• Others -> Becky
• Others -> Heather
• Others -> Quinn
• Others -> Sarah
• Others -> Camilla
• Others -> Lily
• Others -> Nicole
• Others -> Riona
• Others -> Zoey
• Teachers Route (Bella, Jade, Cathy, Nora)

(Honestly the funniest part about Being a DIK is realizing the game slowly transformed me into a conspiracy theorist with spreadsheets trying to optimize fictional relationships).

Anyway.

If any of you played Being a DIK & spot a route, variation, or catastrophic life decision I’ve missed, let me know before I lose another 400 hours to this beautiful disaster.

(Kudos if you make the right guess on how many hours it will take before I’ve finished all these routes).

AGW: your recommendations

Steam’s Adult Games Week sale is here, which means my wishlist is about to become a morally questionable financial decision.

So hit me with recommendations. Looking for games on discount that are actually good beyond the obvious “two attractive people remove clothing” part. Great writing, memorable characters, emotional damage, unhinged romance routes, weird vibes, beautiful disasters, the whole thing.

What should I pick up before my wallet files for emotional distress?

What's the best AVN steam never got its hands on?

I'm looking for games that haven't showed up on Steam, but probably should've. The games hiding in the darker corners of the internet built by insomniacs, romantics, and people who probably shouldn’t be left alone with dialogue trees.

Give me the weird little masterpieces. The games that made you forget you downloaded them for naked people.

We all know some of the best AVN's are hiding out in the digital back alleys of Itch, Patreon, and websites that make your antivirus nervous.

Tell me your recommendations, my browser history's already beyond redemption anyway.

Projekt:Passion tricked me into caring

The TL;DR:
Most adult games on Steam feel disposable. This one lingers like cigarette smoke in a cheap apartment: unhealthy, a little tragic, but weirdly comforting.

——————

★★★★★ - I bought it for the sex. Somewhere along the way, the bastards made me feel something.

There’s a particular kind of loneliness that leads a man to adult visual novels.

Dont’ get me wrong, I don’t mean the tragic kind. Just the quiet, modern kind. Blue light on your face at 1:43 a.m. A drink sweating on the desk. Steam glowing like a confession booth nobody respects anymore.

That’s how I found Projekt: Passion.

I expected the usual routine: beautiful 3D people saying ridiculous things before taking their clothes off in high definition. Porn with menu navigation.

Instead, I got characters that looked me in the eye.

The writing has this loose, lived-in quality to it. Conversations breathe. People interrupt each other. They flirt like adults instead of malfunctioning anime vending machines programmed to validate your existence. And every now and then, buried under the lust and sci-fi nonsense, somebody says something painfully human.

The women here aren’t just rewards waiting at the end of dialogue trees. They’ve got edges. Histories. Damage. The kind that makes you lean in instead of click ahead. And suddenly, you’re not just chasing scenes anymore, you’re chasing moments.

And yeah, the erotic content’s great. Of course it is. Smooth animation, cinematic framing, enough polish to make you briefly forget you’re sitting alone in sweatpants eating cereal at midnight, or doing other things.

If we’re talking pure writing, DrPinkCake still owns the crown. But Classy Lemon? He understands movement.

Some of these animated sequences are absurdly well done. Not just technically, but rhythmically. There’s intention in the framing, pacing, the way scenes breathe instead of mechanically slamming flesh together like two action figures in a microwave. It feels less like “content” and more like somebody actually cared whether you stayed immersed.

And that matters. Because sex isn’t the reason this game works. It’s just how it gets its foot in the door.

It works because underneath the fantasy, there’s an aching little truth about connection, about how badly people (and androids) want to be seen, even while pretending they only came for a good time.

Which, if we’re being honest, is probably why half of us play these games in the first place.
