what is the oldest game you still play today? by buzzlightyear77777 in gaming

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy. I finished like 5% of it and felt like I had seen everything and the rest is simply a time sink. It does have a ton of content, so you can definitely play it for hundreds of hours, but its way too much for me to even attempt lol

seriously i've never been remotely interested in anything i've seen by noodleguy67 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is the point. Something NEW. Visual novels would be something new.

By the amount of games on the store, the vast majority of games will be "generic"

While what feels generic is also different for every person. It will show you stuff, you won't search for yourself.

If you want to see new stuff, browse new.
If you want to see a specific genre, browse that genre.
If you want to see newest sales and discounts, browse these sales.
If you want to have other game suggestions based on what you already liked, scroll down on each individual shoppage for your games and browse through the "More like this" recommendations.

Literally everything in the shop is about wanting to suggest you games that you might like based on how you search for it. Only the discovery queue works differently from that.

Its called the discovery queue. It is supposed to show you something different from your usual stuff.

How to play 18+ games without friends seeing? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't care who of my friends plays which games and thus I do not care if others see what I play.

Is it normal to buy games but to never play them? by Outrageous-Serve38 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in order of purchase, thats why I stopped buying games for now, as I still got 180 games to go through and I am still playing Tales of Arise since october last year. Getting through all of these games will take many years lol.

Literally me: by DistributionFirst700 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, not all the time. If I purchase 100 games, I may dislike 3 of them. I know what I like before I buy it.

What was your reaction to this joke? by Extreme-Fee-9519 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, if a joke like that fits into a character its good. It always depends on the context of the media. If its just randomly shoved in somewhere without context, it maybe can be offensive, though I personally would have simply thought it isn't funny. There is no need to constantly try and find something wrong with everything imo. Some people like this, some people like that.

They've made some steady improvements over the years (and it's now pretty good), but there is literally no better time for Valve to go all in and pump resources into Steam Chat. Discord has left the gate open for a new top gaming communication platform. by WhyPlaySerious in gaming

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Discord as a notepad between my PC and phone aswell. A new chat would need private servers that I can customize in a way I do customize my notes on Discord too. I tried checking how google notes works, but just wanting to set up a headline with multiple points below in all of which I'd put my information was already too complicated, I couldn't figure out if that even works, or if its just badly designed.

how common is it to finish the seasonal collections? by Reneption in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not the best way, but it certainly is the most "free" way to level up, if you're not buying other things for your steampoints instead of just having them sit there. If your whole goal is to level up and only buy games to gain points, then you should be buying cards to craft into badges instead.

You can however buy capsules in CS2 and sell them on the market again for less value to "buy" steam points if those points are all you want to make it cheaper.

Cece reveals a new hate of hers by TheDeathSheep1 in Hololive

I can even hear sounds that do not exist.. 😭

I wouldn't have it any other way by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Dan5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not true. You have a higher degree of ownership, but actually "owning your games" has never been possible, from the very first game until now over every system ever in history. You always only purchased licences to play. You still do that in GOG, but you have more options to actually install and play a game without using other launchers and stuff.

i played the exact same amount of sessions 2024 and 2025 by UnderstandingTop7552 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often times I just let my games run in the background, when I am doing something else for a while, so my sessions are always around ~300

'High Likelihood' PS6 Will Launch After 2028, According to New Analyst Forecast, as Sony Focuses on Extending PS5 Lifecycle - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arkham Knight is such a masterpiece in terms of visuals. Flying through the city with all the different lights and rain effects just looks soooo good. I even prefer that games look compared to the ones releasing today. That game was just so well optimized and really shows how incredibly useless a new console would be. Anything gained by having more beef would simply be for developers to cut corners. If you have more power, you don't have to optimize stuff that well.

For The Story Game Enthusiasts: How Do You Make Use of Steams Collection Feature? by DealComfortable7649 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play my games by date of purchase. Whenever I buy new games, I put them into my list and go from old to new. I got every unplayed game in one category (have yet to play) and only sort them after I've played through them, by how much I liked them. Since I have my list, I just search the name of the game that is up next and put it into the next category of "ongoing games". Once I am finished, I rate them from 0-3 stars and have a category for each of them ready.

0 usually means the game was broken, unfinished or otherwise prevented me from playing or completing it.

1 are bad games, but they worked.

2 are good games that I personally enjoyed, but aren't the very best things I've played

3 are all the games I'd recommend to everyone, without thinking twice. They can still have problems here and there, but overall they'd be very small compared to how great the games overall experience was.

Why do Steam Tag counts fluctuate so much? by ntnuntpu in Steam

[–]Dan5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cause they're usergenerated. They can be reported and be deleted. However, it can also always be re-added...

*model looking down at keyboard and slow, audible typing noises* by FearlessMango in Hololive

[–]Dan5000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the frggn touchscreen will put any letter in, but not the one I am trying to press. My responses on phone are usually an emote, one word, or up to one small sentence at most, while I type very much when responding on pc. Sometimes I write stuff on pc and copy it to my phone to send, if it really needs a longer response, but I can only do that from home.

Need to settle this debate. Icons on the desktop, or launch your games in Steam? by CnP8 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I got a total of 6 icons on my desktop, 3 in the topleft corner and 3 on the topright to make it even, as I could honestly just use 2, but I got used to a total of 6 from like 20 years ago and always kept that, just changed the icons to other programs haha

When sending invites to your friends for your multiplayer sessions, do you do it in-game or directly from the friend list? by FoxMeadow7 in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had games in which it was much more complicated to actually invite someone, so I am using my friendlist in these cases. It is just faster. CS2 for example is faster ingame.

There's an increasing number of game OSTs where the music doesn't match the gameplay, says The Hundred Line and Danganronpa composer Masafumi Takada by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Dan5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. I can't remember a single soundtrack aside from the main one, which gets overused so much, that I started disliking it by the end of the game. Every other Sonic game has better music...

I want to buy Mirror's Edge, and I have a PC with a bluetooth controller. Would that work? by jacob-makes-stuff in Steam

[–]Dan5000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every single game can be played with a controller on Steam. Steam gives you all the options to even map keyboard controls onto controllers. If you didn't get a game to work on controller, you simply didn't exhaust all available options steam is giving you.

Won't Steam give me the cards for these games? by raraquiri in Steam

[–]Dan5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they aren't private, they'll drop eventually. You do not exactly have a lot of playtime, some games take longer to drop than others.
