That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Tactical Shooters? (feddit.org)

I'm trying to move away from service-based gaming, and I only really play two games, so that shouldn't bee too hard. I've found Terraria on GOG, but I'm trying to find a replacement for Counter Strike. Are there any good tactical shooters that don't require an account on an online service like Steam or Ubisoft? If you can't think of any tactical shooters, what about non-Quake-likes (like Xonotic)? I'm not a huge fan of movement shooters.

Just navigate to the steamapps folder, look for Terraria.exe and have at it

At least that is my understanding of what the other comment claims

Im pretty sure you Need some steam dll or sum to start the Game that way

That would be DRM, the original comment claimed absence of that. I have no idea what's true, I just tried translating for you.
