!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I've literally used it on a boat in the middle of the sea with no connection of any kind.
The deck, and steam, pretty much just keep working without internet where any installed games are concerned. Even if you don't activate "offline mode" in advance.
Tried handing it to a family member that then wants to switch to their profile?
No. I'm the sole user. Anyone borrowing it just uses my profile.
Did I claim any and all features work out in the woods?
Profile switching on steam currently logs you out, and then into the other account. There's no login retention of every user that's set up, so switching between users obviously won't work while offline. Maybe it could, but not the way it works rights now.
This is like asking me if I'd tried logging in while offline. The answer is no.
