Honestly, there’s nothing you can really miss IMO, the game presents everyone and everything in a nice and smooth way and you won’t ever be lost.

Just Cause series is great for that, JC3 being an absolute joy of free movement. I used to spend hours just gliding with grappling hook and fly suit.

Loved Steep and have tons of hours on it. However, my issue with it is that it is a purchase for a single playthrough: there’s no way to start over. I didn’t play in years, mostly forgot how to play and would like to have a few tutorials, rediscover the open world again, etc.

Well, I will just stick to PC and Steam Deck even if I consider price/hour money.

Yup, Last Samourai is 22 years old. Back then a lot of social issues have not been widely discussed.

Yeah, you unlocked many memories of mine. I played CS back in 90s, train with bots and learn map layouts at home, then play team vs team in a club. A bit later with ADSL started to play online and it was still kinda cool. When life fast forwarded me to Quake Arena and R6S it was very fun but I never ever made any online friend. Maybe a couple of people in R6 with whom I played a few times but even then the toxicity outweighed the team play fun.

Yup, either this or the matchmaking is in find-the-most-toxic-people-available mode. I almost stopped playing online to be honest, I’d rather play couch co-op or even a good solo game.

Wow, the whole room becomes brighter with HDR off /s

It was my thought as well. IIUC the game engine, Anvil Next, is the same that has been used since Valhalla so it shouldn’t be the engine issue.

(Didn’t play it yet and probably wouldn’t before big patches after a year or so, take me with a pinch of salt)

I cannot understand how is this game rated Steam Deck compatible if it is badly optimized? Valhalla was fine on SD but it never had perf issues that bad on current/next-gen. Anyone tried it out on SD (or maybe another handheld)?

I am still a Lemmy noob and didn’t grasp all the instance/community points yet. This community is kinda about physical games as well so I gave it a shot. But thanks for pointing out that instance, seems to be a lot of related stuff and would be more appropriate for sure!

I’d might accept to send my ID with my photo, first and last name (data which they already have and might use to verify my identity) but with all the remaining info being anonymized / blurred. But I believe that Persona filter out blurred out images. And I have to admit, I am kinda afraid to send fake data. Sure, Persona is not a legal representative but a third party, sending them a fake ID isn’t any different to send a fake ID to a buddy but still.

Thanks for your reply, there are many ideas that help me to think it through!

First of all: no, I agree that non-verified person should not be able to request an account deletion. However, I am in full possession of my id, password, 2FA, full access to both old and new e-mail boxes as well as to all devices that have ever been used to log into this account. I believe that this is enough to prove that I am the one holding the account.

I believe that I never used LI from any new VPN (I use either professional VPN or no VPN).

As per your last paragraph, I totally agree that it might “reveal” my sensitive data. My idea was the following: if I show myself ready enough and kinda literate about privacy (nothing fancy, just some well-known rights and regulations) I might get them to accept a video call or something similar to confirm my identity. If this case were to be brought to court after all, I believe that my ID data might remain within the jurisdiction of my country instead of be sent to a third party (Persona).

Yeah, that’s a bit strange. Not everyone starts their account by a big game. My current steam account is quite old and first games were the ones I could afford back then as a student: indie titles, freebies, maybe one big game at some point. My previous account was only for HL / CS.

Never played the first one but both of them look stupidly addictive. I feel like it is a chill version of Xonix-like games. Not quite the same but I can vaguely put them into the same genre basket.

I have a very similar situation: a cat with a severe kidney disability, meds 5 times a day with at least 2h between each. We’ve been using a whiteboard but I am currently setting a smarter solution. My WIP setup is a raspberry pi with a static IP on my local network and a FastAPI app. This way I can also do a household to-do lists (did anybody watered plants recently?) and add connection to local smart lights (effects if meds could not be given with 2h interval before our usual go-to-bed time), etc.

It would only work for us since it is a household only solution. Our cats do not travel anywhere and I do not currently need to check for these todos when not at home. It may be different for you. Good luck OP, hope you will find something that suits you.

Medieval Dynasty and Biped (both in co-op). The former when playing longer sessions after work, runs great and overall a very fun experience. A lot like early Valheim discovery but centered around the settlement, and much better than Aska from both graphics, performance and UI point of view. Biped is for shorter sessions, like lunch breaks, just to finish a level around a coffee. Biped was a joke at some point since we were unable to see each other in-game and network was kinda broken. But now it’s lovely, one of the best 2 bucks purchases.

Hazelnut has a lot of potential and their previous games are absolutely awesome. Cannot wait to grab Split Fiction anytime soon.

I played a demo version at a gaming convention in my country a few months ago and it was a great experience. Accordingly to a staff member it will run (runs?) on Steam Deck without any issue and given the type of game, specs and UI I believe it’s true. Impatient to grab it at some point.
