wait that means it was only a year of Steam Play when I first tried it. I don’t think I realize how big Proton is gonna be at that time, since I’m just testing games that are already playable with WINE years before. But Proton definitely made it so much easier. Although I made the full switch one year later in December 2020.
I couldn’t be bothered to tinker with it. I actually used RedReader which allows me to log in. But I got used to not log in.
Oh they killed 3rd party apps, but their own official app sucks. Yea I’m just gonna view Reddit without logging in. Honestly it’s been great, it prevents me from ever posting stupid comments and engage in other ways in the site. In a way I get less addicted with Reddit since they started decide that they don’t want me to get addicted.
I guess if an ‘epic games account’ is only functions for Unreal Engine devs, it’s much less interesting to attack. But it’s also for fortnite and more other games.
I hate that I might be in the victim pool when I have that account merely for Unreal Engine. If only they would separate developer and gaming account.
Desktop, I only use NewPipe on phone. The idea is to prevent those videos listed in my watch history. But I do use the “I’m not interested” button sometimes to further fine tune the recommendation.
Most of the time I open youtube in Google container tab, see any interesting video to watch, but I often don’t want to have related videos recommended to me. So I watch them in temporary containers.
Because the recommendation is like this, just because I like 3kliksphilip talk about niche ladder mechanic in counter-strike, doesn’t mean I’m interested to some random e-sport CS player talk about CS tournaments.
Or one time I watch 2kliksphilip’s video on DiRT Rally, I get videos from racing youtubers talk about their driving wheels, and even real-life Rally videos. (Philip doesn’t even use driving wheels, he used keyboard, but this is unrelated :3)
Metro 2033 and Half-Life 2 lol, I cannot play horror games. I quit Metro, couldn’t help myself.
But at least I completed all HL games apart from Alyx. With all achievements on base HL2 and EP2.
Ravenholm was manageable if I play without sound 🤣 But there was a long tunnel section in EP1 that was very uncomfortable and dark, felt longer than Ravenholm.
