    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.

      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.

        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.

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

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

        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.

      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.

        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 dunno, I might side-eye my partner a lil bit if it turned out they were really good at CK3’s schemes.

      • Anticorp@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Unfortunately there’s not really anything I’m really good at in CK3, despite like 300 hours of gameplay. Perhaps open warfare, but that has other consequences that I’m not great at dealing with.

    I don’t care a lot that people know I play Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress and Skyrim.

    … please don’t share the mod lists though.

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

    “make sure your pops doesn’t see you spent 400 hours in futa games.” (I don’t know what that means and I’m not gonna Google it while I’m logged in at work.)

    Why would you not look it up from this context, it seems to be a generic “don’t let them see” , why would you be so terrified unless you already knew what it was?

    My mans denial game is a bit too forthright

    • r4venw@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      For some reason, your comment made me think of a video game idea… Futa ball! Football where all the players are… yea!

      If someone actually makes this game, no need to credit me. Game idea is yours to keep my friends

      • orbitz@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I bet the huddle sections would … have more code and or animations than most football games.

      • Skullgrid@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Not sure what my comment has to do with football, but sure…?

        I mean, if any of my comments would have inspired Futa Ball, I would have expected it to be this one :

    This is why I don’t share my steam tag with anyone.

    I hate people being able to analyze my habits.

  • RebekahWSD@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Ohno, my twin will see what games I play. Although they already get the friends popup saying what I’m playing when I start playing it.

    They also wander into the computer room frequently to ramble at me so see what I’m playing them.

    In short, we all play Dwarf Fortress and it’s not a secret.

      Dwarf Fortress is my favorite abstinence method. I abstain from leaving the house on the weekends.

    “Wow you’ve got a lot of 40 minute sessions on Sims 4 and Skyrim.”

      Baldurs gate 3 doesn’t need mods. There’s also no one stopping you when walking into a sex toy shop in cyberpunk after configuring your breasts and penis size (because you can have both), without mods. And boy do they have some nice toys.

        All of the games listed have porn mods. A LOT of porn mods.

        To clarify they can all be played perfectly normally without any adult content unless the user installs mods.

    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.

    • MajorHavoc@programming.dev ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      “Dwarf” getting added as a catwgory 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.

      source
      • cobysev@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    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! 💗

    source
  • AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t have any games that would be too uncomfortable to talk about in my library, so this wouldn’t be an issue for me. Sure I might not want to talk in public about the furry dating sim Amorous, but pretty much anything else I’ve played would definitely be fair game. Especially Ardor and talking about collecting teeth to confuse people walking by.

    My worst offender would be the Neptunia games I’ve played (which I genuinely liked for gameplay lol) but honestly, if your gaming family can’t accept you at your Nep, they don’t deserve you at your NepNep.

      I played it (almost done) with a friend, had it wishlisted since the IronPineapple video. But on god, finding normal players to do content as a group is nigh impossible, this thing is full of gooners and chat is full of uwu RP, I just left at some point and did the bosses solo.

    I’m curious whether that new feature, Hidden games, appears in this summary. I think it had some early missteps because it would disappear from some views but appear in others.

    Thankfully all those hours I put into Anomalous Coffee Machine will probably confuse people since the title doesn’t really give away what it is.

    It’s porn in case that wasn’t obvious.

    source
    • Ziglin@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It wasn’t. I thought it would be a sort of horror game based on the title. I’m slightly curious about how a game about/named after a coffee machine turns into that but I’m okay not knowing.

      source
      • polysics@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s actually both horror and porn.

        You can download a demo version on itch.io it’s actually fun and you don’t necessarily have to play the parts with boobies.
