Shout Outs and Game of Friends[]
In a folder labeled 'Pr0n' on the computer in-game is Owyn's personal 'Pr0n' game collection. Clicking on these provides a brief comment or description from Owyn and an intro or demo of the game. While not linked here, once you have viewed any given game, you are provided the option of opening the external link to the game's (typically Patreon) website. Game of Friends is a bit of a tongue in cheek cross promotional effort where a number of AVN style games give each other shout outs, references, nods or some other form of support or recommendation.
These games and their links are removed from the Steam builds of the game. This is because Steam considers it advertising for non Steam products and it is against their rules for games. (This is one of the few, if not only, downsides to playing the game from Steam.)
In the steam version of LoM, only one game 'Landlady and Flatmate' is available. This is because that is not an actual game and therefore does not violate Steam's requirements. The game title "Landlady and Flatmate" is simply a play on censorship avoidance tropes in the AVN space. In the download version of the game, the following games are listed.

| Landlady and Flatmate | N/A - This is not a real game |

History and Setup of Game of Friends
[]
For GoF's it started mostly as people I had interaction with on discord
(Thus the name)
Over time I decided to make it more player-centric
So I ask people for recommendations
Want to recommend a game? According to Droid in chat, the general process for setting up a new Game of Friends is:
1) Think there's a good overlap between players
2) You know the author(s) well enough that it's not a cold-call
