Bro I'm with you I'm not even autistic and this shit just seems emotionally exhausting.

I only knew snippets of this as well even years later so I appreciate the rundown. Thanks for typing it up!

Wow that sounds amazing. Would that work to hook up to your steam deck as well?

Heck yes man SPT made me fall in love with that game again. Amazing work by their community.

Escape from Duckov is arguable as it's single player, as well. I'll have to check out Zero Sievert.

Quick question: I'm assuming a Linux install requires a complete reformat of the drive, aka having to reinstall / redownload my games, right? Also the cloud saves that I have stored on Steam, would those be transferrable / usable if I install on Linux? Or am I going to have to start out at point zero on those games?

The 3rd one never took itself seriously. They knew it was a last hurrah and went over the top intentionally. There's a dubstep gun ffs. They were there for the ride not storytelling.

Dude this is like my core ethos. It irritates the shit out of me. Like you said, just endless squandered potential for fucking what? So dumb. Not to mention all the energy waste throwing around all that data and endlessly recording and storing it.

I bought a $500 dollar video security system and they pulled this shit on me. Not Google, but Arlo. Not even a 'hey we will just disable some of the cloud benefits' just straight up disabled my shit and gave me a shitty 'heres 10 percent off a new system!' email. I don't buy into smart always connected tech much as is, but that was def a reason for me to not buy anything further.

Yup I was thinking of another game, you're absolutely correct.

The Cycle yes, but an extraction shooter is defined as a game you loot items that you then extract with to use in future runs or sell. Hunt and Helldivers doesn't have that mechanic at all.

'One of the biggest' You mean 'one of the only'? Extraction shooters aren't common that I'm aware of unless I'm out of the loop. The only big one before this I was aware of was Tarkov.
