You guys don’t share your Steam Relay publicly and put it in a showcase on your profile?

/s… but I totally do that. I’m not ashamed of my gameplay.

EDIT: I just read the article and saw the mention of the “Dwarf” category. It’s maxed out on my spider graph, and I’ve only played 2 games with dwarves this year, out of 180 individual games I’ve played.

MajorHavoc, (edited )

“Dwarf” getting added as a category was a publicity stunt write in campaign by Deep Rock Galactic players, if I recall correctly.

There’s not a ton of games with the tag, but both DRG and Dwarf Fortress tend to get a lot of play hours by their players, I think.

I used to be big on Deep Rock’s Galactic, but I’ve hardly played it at all this year. The other dwarf game I played was The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

MajorHavoc,

Ha. I suppose that counts!

While I don’t get why Valve did this, if your Steam Replay is starting arguments it’s time to kick the arguing party from the family share lmao

I find it fascinating how prude other people are from what is the level of “normal” in my social circle.

As if I don’t proudly rock that Subverse and Aurelia on my Steam Library! 💗

Jode,

Cos you finished adastra lolll

Valve has always been pretty awful at granular privacy. For the longest time, no settings between “hide literally everything” and “broadcast to everyone I know every time I purchase or play anything.”

Still no setting between those two options, but at least it’s on a game-by-game basis now.

einlander,

Also the fact that on the steam deck there is no choice to add a pin before purchases is mind boggling to me. Hand it to a kid and they could run up serious bills.

9point6,

Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks

einlander,

Not every purchase, same if you use the PayPal option. At least not in my state in USA.

Regrettable_incident,
@Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world avatar

Not every purchase in the UK either.

inclementimmigrant,

I just put in a purchase and no, it did not ask me to re-enter the CCV.

zipzoopaboop,

Seems pretty random when it asks or not

Dettweiler42,

I think that’s store driven. I recall having to input my PIN on my Deck multiple times, but there was at least a few days between each purchase.

einlander,

I would prefer if it behaved like phone app stores. Have an option to ask for a pin right before completing a purchase.

Fiivemacs,

It took me too long to realize you folks didn’t mean pin as in pin the game to a dash board of something but a personal identification number for pin.

wizardbeard,

At least that one has a simple solution: delete your saved card.

moody,

As a matter of principle, I don’t save my credit card number anywhere. It’s a little more tedious when I make a purchase, but I’ve got my number memorized anyway, so it’s not a big deal, and it’s definitely more secure in that respect.

axby,

I leave my credit card stored with some places, but I specifically don’t leave it on steam just to add a speed bump for me to avoid buying a game unless I really want it. I tend to add games to my wish list, then sort of impulse buy if they go on sale for really cheap, or remove them later if I’ve decided I’ll never get around to playing them.

I’m not too worried about security, worst case I can get a new credit card number. But it seems like steam and other online retailers are pretty good about not leaking your credit card number.

the number of times i add a game to my isthereanydeal list and have no idea wtf it is when i get a sale notification.

srock,
@srock@sh.itjust.works avatar

The process being tedious helps you think before purchasing too, so it’s definitely a good thing in more ways than one.

greenskye,

Also in several games my ability to join friends in-game broke if I turned my profile completely private. As soon as I set it to friends only I could join them again.

OK, that has almost enough syllables for me to be interested

There’s a dedicated fan base of one apparently.

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Is it just me or does this not exist on Steam anymore? This SteamDB page just redirects me to the Steam homepage when I click on the game’s store page.

Yes, I was curious enough to click for more information. 😒

I’m in the same situation, I can see various other pervert games

I hope they find a way to add more variety to the gameplay interactions. Not just having a variety of builds that work though that’s important too. but it feels like no matter what your build is you then have the same approach to all encounters. There’s lots of different mob types and random modifiers on them but either it breaks your build and you can’t clear them…or you clear them the same way you clear everything else.

Who the fuck is complaining? All the players I’ve played with think the armors awesome

squirrelwithnut, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

Diablo 2 is still in my top 5 games of so time, so I’m absolutely on board for whatever those devs want to try next for an ARPG. Diablo 3 and 4 were both good in different ways, but I feel like Blizzard has never been able to match the atmosphere and overall feeling of D2. So far, POE 2 has come the closest and it will only get better as time for on. By the time this comes out they’re going to have to do a lot to compete with a mature POE 2.

Not one mention of Titan Quest in these comments 😔

@icecreamtaco@lemmy.world avatar

Whenever you see hardcore fans say “this obscure low budget game is the actually the greatest of all time”, chances are it’s just bad. TQ is one of those games. I played it this year (all expacs) because of the hype and it was not a good use of my time.

AliasAKA, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

In the meantime, highly encourage folks to checkout grim dawn. Still gets updates even though it released years ago. Game worthy of buying to support these types of devs.

DicJacobus, do games w Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice

They released the rest of the kill zone stuff for free

Feathercrown, do games w Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice

Helldivers players have no idea how good they have it. What a bunch of whiny entitled losers lmao

Atomic,

Just because others have it worse, doesn’t mean you should settle for slightly better than terrible.

Feathercrown,

Your dev team and management cares about the players, that’s much better than terrible already

Atomic,

let’s make sure we keep them to that standard then.

dejected_warp_core, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

We’re going back

Awesome. Another high-quality graphical Rogue spinoff? I’m there.

In the meantime, check out Torchlight 1&2 if you need something to tide you over. They’re on the old side, but IMO scratch that itch.

GrayBackgroundMusic, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

What does that even mean? Why were d1 and d2 good? Plenty of games have come and gone with similar features.

Just as Harry potter wasn’t a great story, but had great timing, I think d2 was the same. It was good but it also was at the right time.

Walk up to area full of rather boss looking dudes, fuck em all up, take their gear and then spend 30 minutes ooing and aaahing over said gear has been a cornerstone gameplay loop for many games for decades.

It’s, dare I say it?

fun?

Fill the area with cool lore, art direction and fold it into a story and hey, maybe it’s a little more fun.
