  1. Create an alt account

  2. Family share your game library with it

  3. Profit

Would your activity still record and show it still? Just a asking for a friend.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just turn all that info to private and you're golden. Honestly it baffles me that people want to broadcast what they're playing to their friends at all times.

[–] Pokethat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, definitely not all the time. But if I'm playing age of empires or something, it'd be cool if a friend wants to join me spontaneously. It'd be less cool if they saw me playing super duper furry hentai game #4

Former schoolmate of mine noticed me playing a hentai game and sent me a message on how to enable R18 patch

a good fellow soul

Like, just keep a separate account with all of your filth, like I do.

[–] schrodingers_dinger@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I fucked up and forgot friends could see what I was playing for a long time. Then I noticed more and more friends either played the hentai games too, or added them to their wishlists. Now I just full yolo the hentai

[–] abelcrunk@yiffit.net 6 points 1 year ago

The hentai games are one thing, but I cannot have my friends and family see me playing the furry porn games

[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you handle that in Steam itself though? Does it show games that other accounts have installed? Does it just not let you play those games unless you sign in as that account or are linked via family sharing?

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's way easier to change your privacy settings in steam so it won't show what you're playing to anyone.

[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To rephrase the question - If someone was looking over your shoulder at your Steam window, would they see the installed porn games in your library from your other account, even if the other account isn't logged in?

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think so. It think it also shows you playing those games even if from a shared library, though I'm not 100% on that

YOU FRIEND HAS 600 HOURS IN THIS HENTAI GAME AND UNLOCKED EVERY ACHIEVEMENT!!!!

[–] keenkoon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YOUR FRIEND POSTED SCREENSHOTS OF THIS HENTAI GAME

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Steam: "WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THEM?" (default setting: yes, always)

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Just a reminder to practice good opsec when playing hentai games Such as: Removing the polizer film on your screen then buy glasses with a polizer film in them so that only you can see the screen buy a closed back headphones so that no one can hear the sounds Use a alt account Make sure that NO ONE is in the same room as you and lock the door

Feel free to add more opsec tips down on the comments

If you don't want to see NSFW stuff from friends in your activity feed in Steam, there's a toggle for it in your ~~account~~ store preferences somewhere.

[–] twelve12@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Surprised it's not enableby default

[–] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There needs to be a toggle for the reverse of that, if you don't want your friends to see that you play NSFW stuff.

[–] LeHappStick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Jokes on them, I have no friends

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Honestly Steam should just have a "cave" where hentai can be "stashed" in so it won't show up in public searches or through social features.

[–] sp00nix@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Under "games your friends play" was cuckold simulator. Damnit Joe.

[–] BoiLudens@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do not have such weaknesses

[–] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Do you mean that you don't play hentai games, you don't have friends, or you don't care if your friends know that you play hentai games?

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

"But it has a really deep meaningful plot! I swear!"
