"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?"
"What? No. Why? What have you heard?"
Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few minutes pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *two seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *30 minutes later* "Oh looks like they finally got it work-" Friend is now playing 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.
I have been playing Cyberpunk all wrong it seems.

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

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.
I don't care a lot that people know I play Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress and Skyrim.
... please don't share the mod lists though.
"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.

Oh no! My wife is going to see that I played Baldur's Gate 3 and Crusader Kings 3! Two games that end with 3!
Oh come on, we know what you're trying to say to your wife here...
That they want HL3?
Thats a given, theres no way AwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet's wife wouldnt already know this.

We won't charge for family sharing, but there WILL be a price!
Sweet Story Wet-Bottom Pie 18+ Adult Only Content
OK, that has almost enough syllables for me to be interested

There's a dedicated fan base of one apparently.

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
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.
Speak for yourself I'm intrigued
Oh! This is just the year in review thing, not your steam gameplay recordings. I don't want my family members to hear me demolishing a burger while I watch my factory grow
This is why I don't share my steam tag with anyone.
I hate people being able to analyze my habits.
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.

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.
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.
"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.

They're just jealous cause I always have Atlyss launched and they can't play my copy.
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.
