Begged him for months to go see a doctor but he only did it when it became unbearable..
It's bittersweet and I'm still processing it.. (il probably cry my soul out anyway)
But it's so heartwarming to know he thought about me even when he was at the ER
How cool would it be if, in addition to a Steam Controller, there was also a wireless Steam keyboard and a Steam mouse that connect to the same puck from the Steam Controller or directly to the Steam Machine?
Edit: this would make it possible for Steam Machine users to have all 4 USB Ports free for something else, while being able to use it as a normal Computer
Edit 2: It would also be interesting to have a good trackpad on the keyboard, wich could be useful for people like sim racers or for couch gamers, although I don’t think it would be very convenient for the latter
Hey guys, anyone have an idea as to why my steam library folder had sooo much stuff in it? I only have 1 game from steam installed and my other games are on my other hard drive, im afraid to delete stuff because this is my first pc so I donknow what files are important in making steam run properly 😅
For those of us who are or were on the controller purchase waitlist..... How's it been going? Has anyone been successful in waiting on the list then purchasing?
Hey everyone,
I recently befriended a sweet 75-year-old neighbor who is constantly being scammed online. Some scammers claim to be from charities, others befriend her over days or months before asking her for gift cards.
The two worst right now:
But why am I posting here? I've already explained to her that Steam gift cards can only be used on the Steam store, which sells video games and software. But understandably, she isn't fully convinced. These are "people" she talks to every day, she's sent them gift cards before, and she's only known me for less than a month. It makes sense that she wouldn't take my word for it over theirs, especially with emotions involved, even if she's not rude about it at all and is really respectful about her doubts.
What I think would work is if she could hear it from an actual Steam representative, over the phone, email, or chat, confirming that you can't pay for internet or charity deliveries with Steam gift cards.
Is there any way to make that happen? I don't think this help page will cut it on its own, since she "knows" these "people." Any tips would be appreciated.
P.S. This lady is in a really tough financial situation and genuinely can't afford to keep losing money like this. To make things harder, she has a condition that affects her mobility, doesn't seem to get many visitors, and isn't originally from this country. Most of her family lives overseas. That means almost all of her social needs are met online, which is part of why these scammers have such a strong hold on her.
if i played a game on steam by borrowing the game for more than 2 hours can i still play the game and try it for less than 2 hours and then refound it?
Has anyone actually gotten an email yet for the purchase of a Steam controller through their reservation?
Just curious because I was moments away from ordering another Ultimate 2 controller but decided to hold off since I got a reservation in.
Bought the controller and it was accidentally shipped from the Netherlands to UK. They offered me a free game and I asked for Forza Horizon 6 and they really added it to my library.
Honestly I know loads of people hate these games, but honestly there all a big part of gaming history and it would be cool to see them Imo (For fans of these games, it’s great, and if you don’t what them just don’t download them.
Hello, it seems to me that Valve is branding the Steam Machine as something between a Console and a MiniPC. Yet it feels to me that it is not competetive as either a Console nor a MiniPC. That is unless it costs like 500€ in which case we’re robbing Valve.
(context: I am debating whether to go for a MiniPC or Laptop; as I do want an upgrade yet my current laptop fits most of my needs)
Thanks
I've noticed since around 3 or 4 months ago that steam is taking much longer to open automatically after computer boots up. Nothing has changed on pc (other than Win11 updates) in that time. It literally has nothing but Steam installed and some controller utilities (Xbox accessories & Ds4 Windows). Bloatware was all removed when I reimaged after purchase.
It used to take about 10-20 seconds max after getting to desktop, now it's well over a minute or 2 sometimes. Running in BPM does make it slightly faster but it's still slower to start in BPM now than it was ~4 months ago.
Anyone else experiencing this as well?
I searched the sub for other posts but none seemed to mention the launch at PC boot setting (just opening from taskbar).
PC Specs, in case anyone tries to say "get a better PC":
CPU: Core i9-12900H
RAM: 32GB (4800)
SSD: 1TB m.2 NVME
GPU: RTX3080 (10GB)
I found out this some evenings ago; today I downloaded a 4,4 GB game, but it makes me redo it (maybe a normal update). I don't know what's happening tbh. I found some other games do that too like subnautica.
Personally I would want Disney Magic Kingdoms (City building game with Disney characters)
