I just checked this again, first for game I had there for free but bought later on Steam - City of Brass - and couldn’t find achievements anywhere. I then looked into Fortnite and League of Legends - also no achievements. I then found there is “my achievements” link somewhere in my profile, from where I could click “browse games with achievements” and turns out, from few dozens games I own there not a single one has achievements.
I enjoyed it like 3-5 years ago, but since then it shifted significantly towards kids and that was probably a morally respectable move given how many kids are playing but I don’t like it anymore. Graphics is top-notch, don’t confuse your subjective dislike of the style with it being unfinished or underdeveloped.
I like how many games they give away for free, but tbh I’ve never played any of them there. Some of those games I decided to buy later on Steam anyway just to do achievements (epic launcher doesn’t have achievements, cards, any meaningful statistics, etc).
Do you think VPN doesn’t necessarily prevent MITM anywhere between you and VPN server? Regarding DNS queries, here is a quote I found: “Full-Tunnel VPN routes and encrypts all the Internet traffic through the VPN. Consequently, DNS requests are also encrypted and out of the control of the Internet provider". I’m not sure how to setup VPN in a way that doesn’t tunnel DNS requests through VPN server because I mostly use smart clients like Proton’s one that route everything and have total killswitch.
Turns out, a lot of other Lemmy instances allow using VPNs just fine. Here’s thread with some recs: https://lemmy.world/post/19205545 In case you don’t know how instances work, it’s basically distributed system, we can access the same communities and post there from other instances (without VPN issues).
