  • The numbers are just the Steam app ID - you can easily find this by just opening the Steam store / community page for the game. There’s nothing stopping two games from having identical names on Steam, so they need a unique identifier to index them by, and the app ID is the logical choice as it already exists and is already unique per game.


  • Anything using a compatibility layer (e.g. Proton) through Steam is going to have an entry in the ‘compatdata’ folder in your Steam library. Inside that, there’s an entire windows filesystem folder structure, so finding the actual data is a two part process:

    • Find your compatdata folder in your Steam library; usually you can do this by rightclicking a game in Steam -> Browse Local Files -> go up 2 folder levels (to steamapps) - should be a compatdata folder in there. Open that, find the folder whose name matches the app ID, and you’re in business.
    • Navigate the fake Windows folder structure to wherever the save data would be stored in Windows. [user] is always ‘steamuser’.

    It looks like a really obtuse file path because it’s essentially two filepaths in one, but it’s not as bad as it looks to actually navigate.

    Here’s an example - Linux file structure boxed in red, windows file structure boxed in green:

    The best base design I found in 7 Days to Die was to do essentially this, but dig a pit down to bedrock underneath the house. The zombies pile up around it, push each other in, and die. If your supports are far enough away, they don’t get attacked (you basically want to make an A-shaped design, rather than an H.)

    Obviously, since 7 Days to Die is a perfect simulation of an actual zombie apocalypse, this is the optimal real-life solution, as well.





  • Lemmy is overwhelmingly anti-AI; you’ve been around long enough that you really should have known what you were going to get for an answer before you asked this question.

    That said, I’ll offer a more objective take: Based purely on the example you gave, I’d have a difficult time parsing that passage, too, but the LLM summary is much more understandable. If you’re needing to use an LLM to help understand the entire book, maybe it’s not a good book for you; if you’re using it for a paragraph here and there, the result is similar to what you’ve posted, and if you’re taking that answer and returning to the original paragraph to gain a better understanding of the original meaning, rather than taking the LLM at face value, I don’t see any harm in it. (Other than the environmental harm and societal impact, but that’s outside the scope of this discussion, I suspect.)
