It's a free game, so no one bought it.
The first point is moot as you can encrypt your data; your host my have it, but they can't access it.
As far as self hosting goes, yes: DNS registration will generally out you, so if you're really trying to stay hidden then - as the previous poster mentioned - your best bet is to just make an account on a relatively large server.
Care to share a recipe link?
Cheers, I just started dropping connections to /link as well, as a result.
Edit: Looks like it was quickly fixed and released in 0.0.40, very cool.
Completely reasonable. We only use kaşar because, well... It's just what we use here 😂 Gouda, mozzarella, gruyere - all great choices.
As a Turk, I approve. Also, putting gouda cheese in a kumpir is a 10/10 move.
Damn, I'll check my privilege...
but had to get up and take a fat shit
It's a 15 minute timer, just wipe quicker FFS.
I don't think they will, as gamers have been normalized to root kits shipping with games. It is a shame, but - where the majority of the audience is completely indifferent - unless the anticheat is doing something overtly problematic like causing a drop in frame rates (e.g. Denuvo) it won't be removed.
But, as an alternative, you can play the game on Linux via Proton - it works, and absolutely doesn't have root privileges. (note: I'm playing on the Steam Deck, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work on normal Proton)
(edited for clarity)
Lies of P is great on the Deck, been churning through that. Highly recommended if you enjoy Soulslikes.
Note that the flashback portion ~is actually the game's DLC, and~ can be tackled at any point.
Its difficulty is higher than the area you're at in the main game, when you first unlock it.
Edit: See below comments, I was wrong: it isn't DLC.
