People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I’ve used it and know many people who use it without any problems.

And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.

Of course this isn’t airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).

game SUCKS i go to BED

Fuckity bye

X11 has multi pointer but I have no idea how usable it is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multi-pointer_X

If the entire list isn’t outer wilds its bs.

Meanwhile valve: You can now sue us. Please dont make us arbitrate.

Its pretty much up to the developer. You can have no DRM and not even require steam to be open, or you can make your game unplayable.

Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

It should - I don’t have one myself but I had someone test it and there weren’t any issues. It has full steam input support too.

thanks!

Pro tip: if you have nextcloud you can set aegis to backup to a folder synced to the cloud, giving you automatic cloud backups. It can keep multiple copies too to prevent a situation like that happening.

But yeah, sorry that happened, hope you find another way to access those accounts.

Wanted to update that I’m almost through the first book, mixed feelings at certain parts, but I’m enjoying the end on Schar’s world. Felt like the beginning had a lot of unnecessary sidetracks and random deaths. But I do definitely love the ideas, especially all the culture technology, so I’ll probably check out the second book.

Yeah just don’t do it outside my house at 4am in trying to get some fucking sleep

There’s some Interesting graph theory problem somewhere in here about finding out if a network of N people in M relationships must include at least one gay person.

Csgo and 2 have a “trust” system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you’re more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.

Honestly there isn’t a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.

The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.

Hwk sh

Dont forget cs2, plus the short (but very fun) Aperture Desk Job)

Wow it evolved from an Empoisoned game to a Swumbles Big Jumble game.

Wow this is a certified Spec Ops The Line moment

I feel like this isn’t exclusive to indie games.
Empoisoned games: Forespoken, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Rising Revengance

Swumbles Big Jumble games: Assassin’s Creed (plus subtitle), John Madden Football (and other similarly titled sports games), any legend of zelda game.
