Are 12,000 of them "anime girl fuck fantasy girl love sweet dating woman simulator love sex" game?

[–] Bunbury 55 points 1 day ago (5 children)

And I still feel like their definition of playable is a bit narrow. I regularly play “unplayable” games on my steam deck without much issue. You just might need to fiddle about with the controller settings, compatibility modes and use the built in magnifying tool and keyboard once in a while. It’s really not the end of the world.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 8 hours ago

It's more of a status for publishers and Devs to hit.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There really should be another level to it:

Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input

It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.

I've played several "unsupported" games that work fine, so something should be done here.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.

[–] youngalfred@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Are using Decky loader? The ProtonDB badges plugin is great for this!

Battlefront 2 - unsupported officially, but actually plays fine with no tweaking and gets a gold badge on protonDB.

Having the plugin shows the good badge on the games store and installed page

[–] network_switch@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

I’m pretty sure people have been playing Tales of Berseria on Steam Decks for 3 years and it still says unsupported. Seems perfect to me

How many are hentai manga games?

Jeez, I filtered for "rogue like" and the number one game was a hentai dating sim....

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

Don't fight it

[–] anon232@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you need to adjust your store content settings to hide these games. Adult games are hidden by default so you must have enabled it. You can filter out adult games and not see these things.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Must of click that thinking it was like MA games but uh adult games are a different mix. Clicked the preview on one, rogue games are my favorite but there's not a ton, and oh boi that's something you dont want to preview in the 65 OLED in the living room with your wife.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago

I wonder how a must of a click smells like. Ah, you mean must have clicked. Autocorrect am I right? Right?

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Rarely I’ll see something that I’ll go “that sounds like an interesting concept for a game” and then click on it and it’s just porn. It kills a lot of interest I have in using steam to discover new games because a decent chunk of them turns out to be porn

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You enabled in your settings to see porn, steam keeps it disabled by default. They even give 3 different options for the level of prudishness that you want. Go to store preferences and disable sexual content and you're done.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Oh damn, i can't believe i never found these settings with how often i mess with mine. Thanks! I've been itching to lose those for a while but figured it just wasn't an option

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

they are all either labeled as porn or censored so you have to click and show your age, but its always very obvious that its porn, also hidden by default I thought

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Someone else had mentioned it was hidden by default, but also gave instructions on how to turn it back off. I must have turned it on at one point when messing around with settings and just forgotten, either that or one of the few times i've loaned the profile to close friends they turned it on

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I mean, I have several MA, and it's Mortal Kombat or something, so when I click a rogue like and it asks for age, im just thinking it has gory finishers, but instead....it has gory finishers =/

When the flip did porn become so prevalent on Steam!?

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is why I've used steam less and less. My epic library is pretty close to surpassing my steam catalog

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Fun fact. I don't enable it. I've edited my steam store heavily as well as reviews to be 10+ hours. But it always reverts back to how it was before

[–] kityumi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

SteamDeck verified means it works with all SteamDeck and OS features right? That means the actual playable games is way higher since its just Arch based.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

Yes, since most games are simply unrated.

But the "playable" rating does not require full steamdeck support, it just means the game runs. A "verified" rating means a game is a fully seamless experience on the deck.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Almost the same amount of unplayed games in my library.

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Asking for a friend,
Who in that thumbnail?

[–] Drewmeister@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That's Stellar Blade. It came out as a PS5 exclusive a year or so ago but has just landed on PC like yesterday I think. It's a souls-like from a new (to non-mobile games) Korean studio. Evidently the game is very good both as a game and at making people super horny.

I haven't played it, but I've been amused by some of the reviews.

[–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Code Vein is another horny Souls-like that is also quite good.

[–] Drewmeister@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Too many games decide to be either horny or good; I applaud the studies that try to do both.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

It also released on pc with mod support... so take a gander at what mods are being made.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I remember seeing people get miffed about them toning down how horny it was when it launched.

I was almost considering giving it an earnest try in some capacity or another after seeing a decent chunk of people praise it outside of it just being horny, but if it’s a souls like it’s probably not for me

[–] ivanovsky@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a demo! Also it felt way easier than souls games, lots of Bayonetta/DMC sprinkled in.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

If there's a demo i might give it a try. Usually the issue for me with Souls games is less the difficulty and more so just it's rare for me to get used to the control scheme. There have been some exceptions though and i'm always down to give a new thing a try. So the demo probably won't hurt me

[–] network_switch@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Real just need Steam Deck performance and screen size but like 100-200 grams lighter. I’m guessing once AMD starts churning out 3nm UDNA APUs will be the time for PC handhelds to go a lot more mainstream. FSR4 will be a great boon for low powered gaming

[–] Bunbury 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Have you ever actually tried one out? I’ve got pretty weak arms and wrists, but I usually play with my arms resting on something. It’s not like I’m holding it out in front of me while playing. Doesn’t feel natural to hold it up like that, but it would be a bit heavy if I tried long term. I even added the cover dbrand sells which added another bit of weight, but my arms are supported so I really don’t care.

[–] network_switch@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

I have one. I think it’s too big. It’s fine if I’m playing with my elbows rested on something but anytime my elbows aren’t backed by something, it’s not ideal. And then whenever I travel, with a case it is bulky. I got a Switch 2 and that feels great to carry around regardless of less ergonomic hand grips
