If there's a German code that would work as you intended (if I got you right) but it doesn't for you, since you don't live in Germany, would it work to make the machine believe it is located in Germany?

They might have hardcoded a location into it, then you are out of luck. But maybe they determine it via the internet connection you use to update? So you could potentially have it connected to a VPN through your router, which fakes a German location? Probably too simple a solution.

Considering these are privacy-invading measures that dude should really get of his high horse. No tolerance for intolerance applies here as well.

I am positively surprised people noticed it is AI. I mean, I only see those example images in the article, they didn't trigger any red flags for me in particular. But maybe there's more in the actual magazine that does stand out.

OK. I cannot decipher from those 3 pixels how cheap those tickets allegedly are.

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

Interesting choice to give them boobs. Not that the average reader cares that its only female mosquitoes that bite.

It's fine to ask for money. Here I think it is just not clear why this would warrant a subscription model.

Yeah, not sure how that is confusing.

Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

Is there any server component to it, other than serving updates? That would justify a subscription model, but I also cannot see any need for it for something like this.

 

I've been thinking about organising my growing library a bit, mostly to mark games I consider as completed.

But also to mark games I played but lost interest in, or games I've finished together with my kids instead of myself alone.

I started doing that in Steam but as I added games via GOG or Epic Games store, or emulators, Steam and would lose their tags (or rather their belonging to a collection) as soon as I uninstalled them.

Also if as a bonus the system could suggest new games based on what I finished or maybe based on ratings I give, that would be nice but not necessary.

Is there any straightforward solution to use? Either general something device-independent or specifically on the Steamdeck locally. Can also selfhost software if there is anything good.

How are you all doing that?
