Yes very important. I miss it when it isn’t there.

I see YouTube style as the ones that are formulic with the plea to like and subscribe segue to sponsor and the obviously algorithm driven increased lengthen followed by the same tired robotic plea for interaction which is pretty much every big YouTube channel or wannabe big channel.
Doesn’t help that search pushes up those type of channels and shoves smaller channels just uploading content just to share something.
I’m pretty lucky not liking most YouTube style content these days, so don’t consume too much of it like I used to. Lot of the creators feel like AI with the same phrase of if you are new to the channel like and subscribe and ring the notification bell…blah blah blah. And then drag out info that can be said in a minute into a 10 minute long ramble for the algorithm.
YouTube these days is more for music or checking out a part of a game I’m stuck on these days from a creator with like 1 sub putting up a 10 second long clip that gets straight to the point. Those guys are the heroes over the 5+ minute long uploads of the same content in comparison that has you have to dig into the comments to find where to skip to.
Like trying to push the stupid recall AI that takes screen shots every few seconds.
I use them in place of the bumpers so my fingers can stay on the triggers.
I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.
I haven’t tried the game yet but I have it in my library.
Playing OlliOlli World. Really chill skateboard game.
Yeah lack of proper Linux launchers from other platforms for saves and achievements has pushed me towards Steam since I switch between desktop and deck frequently.
YouTube is unwatchable for me without sponsorblock so I’ve liked the newpipe forks that include. And on desktop I love freetube because it goes further and lets me block channels.
I default to safari with an adblocker for YouTube and bought the sponsorblock extension so can autoskip stuff too.
I don’t watch twitch, but on F-droid for Android there is an app called twire that might be worth checking out.
I use the protondb badges extension deck loader. Quite convenient.
I wish user controlled servers were more of a thing so individuals in charge could kick out suspected cheaters.
Does Nier Automata count as an old AAA game?
Yeah, it’s something you shouldn’t notice if you always have internet connection, but if you start playing where you won’t always have internet connection that’s when problems pop up. That’s when you appreciate the DRM free games.
I like to use steam deck when I travel. Denuvo can refuse to launch without internet connection to reactivate a license. Also if you exceed 5 activations in a day you can’t play the game for 24 hours. This includes switching which proton version you use to launch the game, which is sometimes necessary if something like the audio doesn’t work properly on the default.

Get a steam deck and you’ll see why.
Enshitification of DRM with denuvo going subscription model has become an unexpected ally in DRM getting removed even if it doesn’t get cracked.
That looks awesome. That is going to be my next skateboard game.
