Valve released a Steam Beta update to bring in some tweaks to the shopping cart, and finally allowing you to properly set certain games as private so no one can snoop on your gaming habits.
For the shopping cart there's these new features:
The private feature isn't just for when purchasing though. You can also, once updated, set individual games as private so they will disappear for everyone else. That includes hiding your ownership, in-game status, playtime, and activity in that game. At last, you can finally enjoy all your naughty games in total peace.
All you have to do is right click -> manage -> mark as private in your Steam Library. Either in the games list, or on the bigger box-art pictures in the main part of your library.
You can do the same on Steam Deck if you're in the beta. Just go into the properties -> manage -> mark as private on any game in your library anywhere:

Quoting: PenglingMeanwhile, I'm the only one of GOL's ladies who has even dared to venture near this thread, and I sincerely regret it - you all are filthy menfolk, you really are.There's something for everyone when it comes to actually good hentai games. If you need any suggestions, clearly this site can help you. LOL
This article's comment section makes me glad that I come here. That being said, I really feel that FlipWitch - Forbidden Sex Hex should be in the running for 2D platformer and/or Metroidvania of the year. It's awesome cause it's literally NSFW Shantae. I recommend that people check it out.

Quoting: pbHa, I think I posted this elsewhere, but I'd given a copy of Strip Poker for the Atari 8bit to a kid at school. This was after I 'fixed' the copy we'd gotten. You see, when we first got it, the files were in reverse order, so they started naked and put clothes on as you won.Quoting: BlackBloodRumWorse: They've been playing them without him knowing!
As a teen, I had a slightly younger neighbour who also had an Amiga and we've been borrowing games from each other. That one time I borrowed Hollywood Poker from his collection and a few days later his dad came knocking that he wanted his game back.
This kid's mother wouldn't let him play past bra/panties, so I showed him how he could reverse the file names and he got all nervous and told me to change it back before his mom found out. Still makes me laugh.
Pixelated booty!

Quoting: PhlebiacGlad to hear they are finally fixing the shopping cart so it's tied to your account instead of your session.I can't tell you how many times I've added a game to the cart on my phone or laptop, then forgot about it, then went back to my desktop and wasn't aware I had left stuff in there...

I have a number of games in my wish list my family can see. This could be an awkward Christmas. Time to set up separate sessions.
