    “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

      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

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

        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 :

        https://lemmy.world/comment/13700568

        Islands at the end of something looking like boot : exists

        Brazillians : 👀 o fute bal detectãoinho!

        EDIT : I got inspired from the way Gremio spell out football :

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grêmio_FBPA

        “Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense”

    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.

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

    “Yeah I’m a completionist.”

    “Do you play with mods?”

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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

          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.

        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.

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

            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.

      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.

    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.
