That sounds like a pretty standard event from my memory of playing DF lol

I really enjoyed watching Oxhorn play Silent Hill 2 remake, well, once he stopped smashing windows obsessively. Also enjoyed games like The Quarry, Until Dawn etc but they might not be your type of thing.

Yup, that’s essentially been my experience with Steam and chat as well, though it sounds like you might be having an even rougher time than I am. I’m on LXQT, but it’s the only app I’ve used that consistently acts this poorly across different installs and distributions. I’d always assumed it was just a universal “Steam-on-Linux” quirk, but it’s interesting to hear it’s not quite the same for everyone.

I spent a Christmas alone once and absolutely loved it. It was nice to have some “me” time without having to deal with the Hoi Polloi.

How comes you’re going to be alone this year? Is there anything fun you can get up to on the day? (hobby or something?) if possible and appropriate try and have as much “fun” as possible; whether if it’s relaxing and having a bath or reading a book with some tea.

Haha, “skid” Mark asking when they’ll get their reward just goes to prove Brexit was utterly fruitless for the dolts that voted for it.

Interesting - I’m surprised to hear so many don’t experience this. I’ve used Steam chat on Arch and EndeavourOS for years, and I’ve always found the desktop client to feel a little sluggish, with menus and emoji pickers being particularly finicky. I wonder if it’s related to certain desktop environments or specific setups?

Good call. I use it sometimes, but I find it has its own quirks: GIFs always fail to play for me.

You sleep rather soundly for a slanderer.

Valve’s “hands-off” approach extends far beyond CS:GO gambling. They have the same willful negligence toward moderating their own official group chats.

For weeks, the official Steam Deck group chat has been flooded with racist slurs and hate speech. I and many others reported the individuals responsible, yet weeks passed with zero action taken.

Frustrated, I opened a formal support ticket. I detailed the offenses, provided evidence, and explained why a basic filtering system or active moderation is necessary for their own official spaces. Valve’s response? They closed my ticket without taking any action at all. They have confirmed, through inaction, that providing a non-toxic environment in their official communities is not a priority.

This experience has made me lose a significant amount of respect for Valve. I will now be actively purchasing my games elsewhere in protest.

You’re very welcome, thanks for sharing it bud. Travel well!

Now that’s awesome!

Yeah that woke me up lol

Fallout New New Vegas.

DON’T SHOOT!

That sucks.

Arc Raiders!

I’m so new to the game (and genre) but it’s been so much fun and it works on the Steam Deck!

I’m still working things out but you drop into a map with others and it’s you VS ARC robots but also VS other players. So far I’ve only been killed once or twice and most people seem quite friendly and helpful.

The only way you can leave are through the same exits as everyone else… so your heart gets PUMPING.

DONT SHOOT!

I’ve always thought Galileo Thermometers were pretty cool.
