Any threats or attempts to stalk, dox, cancel me, or other witch-hunting behaviors, will be promptly reported to Steam.

Anti-surveillance, anti-censorship, stoutly opposed to digital ID verification. I grew up with my family looking over my shoulder constantly, and I refuse to deal with something similar again. I don't care if using a VPN isn't permitted in your country, province, or state, I'm using one anyway. All you dinosaurs in politics whose sensibilities are about a century past their expiration date, don't have the clout to make this work. In the past ten years, it hasn't worked in Russia or China, nor have any attempts to effectively ban VPN's. "Nothing to hide / nothing to fear" is moving target rhetoric that's always been used by politicians, pundits, and demagogues who have actual dirt worth hiding.

Hits:
✔️ Rainbow Six series (not Siege)
✔️ Hex of Steel
✔️ Sniper Elite series
✔️ Combat Master
✔️ An open mind when it comes to games, rather than just one particular genre.
✔️ An interest in games that work best with critical thinking and/or teamwork, rather than rushing into things headfirst. (Rainbow Six Siege does not count.)
✔️ You like to organize your team and have a plan before going into battle. (I know it's hard to find that, but it'd be nice.)
✔️ Sven Co-op
✔️ Cry of Fear
✔️ Hearts of Iron IV
✔️ Verdun
✔️ Door Kickers: Action Squad


Misses:
🚫 People without microphones. Typing in a chatbox takes too long, and I need human interaction when I play games.
🚫 Neo-Puritans. You know who you are. You contribute nothing meaningful to society. If you support beliefs along the lines of Collective Shout, we've got nothing to discuss.
🚫 Team Fortress 2, Overwatch 1 and 2, League of Legends, Rocket League, Fortnite, PUBG
🚫 Teenagers (18+ only please.)
🚫 TF2 trades (I almost never play this game anymore, but I don't want to be stuck with stock gear if I ever play TF2 again.)
🚫 Battle royale games or game modes.

These are companies I am not actively giving any money to. You may see me playing older games made by them because I already have them and/or because they were at least decent long ago, but I will not be purchasing any newer games, DLC, or other content from them until further notice. Please do not ask me to.

-Electronic Arts (EA Games)
-Epic
-SgtOkiDoki, Vilaskis, TheLiquidHorse (BattleBit)
-UbiSoft

I also do not play any game that uses invasive kernel-level anticheats, such as Easy Anti-Cheat. Half of those games still have cheaters anyway.

Skyrim store page (original version) . Because Bethesda censored it from Steam's search engine. A.k.a.: The Creation Club Cancer-free version that runs more smoothly than SE or Anniversary and is more modular. There's no need to ever own either of the other two versions.

I've come to notice during my time here that while extensive, pretty much nobody on my friends list has (or is willing to play if they do have it) any of the games that I've been itching to play with someone for many years. Seemingly all everybody cares about is Overwatch, Counter-Strike, or Team Fortress 2. This is a plea for anyone who has a bit of cash and the nerve to try something different.

I'm looking for people willing to play the following games with me. I may be wiling to buy it for you if I'm convinced you'll play it frequently and if I have the cash. If you like, I could even stream it for you over Steam so you can see what the game is like.

Starting in 2023, I am only willing to work on a "give and take" basis. I need people who will also play the game I want to play, rather than me forcing myself to ONLY play the games they want to play. This will require open-minded people.

Instead of buying me a new game for my birthday or Christmas, consider buying yourself one of the following games, so we can play it together:

-Rainbow Six 3 (GameRanger required.)
-Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (GameRanger required.)
-Doom II mods via GZDoom (You'll have to buy Doom II first.)
-Hex of Steel
-theHunter: Call of the Wild
-Sven Co-op (Free! Now a standalone mod, no longer requires vanilla HL1 to work.)
-Combat Master (Free, no lootboxes.)
-Return to Castle Wolfenstein
-Overload (not Overwatch)
-Sniper Elite V2, 3, or 4.
-Far Cry 5
-Hearts of Iron 4
-Quake
-Verdun
