It's a sad but ideal morning

[TheBuilder]

I've had my steam account for 10 years, accumulating well over 15000 hours in gaming. I am a rookie compared to some of you gaming wolves. I have to work and among other hobbies there's lifting, skateboarding, boxing, painting, piano and more. Tom Clancy books are good too.

Reason I titled "sad" was because over the 10 years, I maintained a small friend list of 100 people and maybe 90 of them never even ask to play anything or what. Nothing. I was one to be polite and reach out but when you realize maybe boundaries are good. So I wiped my list. 80 are deleted and now its down to family and people that I really do know.

But I wasn't done. I didn't want to leave foot prints, changed my gaming nickname and used my company photo. Okay whatever.

What broke my heart the most and I wish I could go back but its' too late is deleting 116 screenshots that spanned in the last 6 years. Those were memories. I did make a backup but still deleting memories like that is really hurtful but you don't wanna leave a foot print? Maybe not be reminded, Idk.

The last and final thing, are my reviews.

I have reviewed so many games and I am not a renown gamer like some but my reviews do advocate how the games are. It would really be unfortunate if I went that far and deleted them. I don't want to.

I think I'm gonna go to work soon, then after today just skateboard around and catch some fresh air. You carry this far on and finally you go extreme to draw a line we call a boundary?

WTF

Today sucks

What do you need help with?

[FOXDUDE69]

Lifting is all the truly matters anyway, and you still have that. Chin up.

Could it be you had wrong expectations, OP? From either your Steam friends or from what you would experience here?

I don't often chat with people and I don't play multiplayer games. But most of the people on my friends list know what to expect of me in that regard, so no harm there.

That said, why are you deleting everything? May I ask what the purpose is of that?

Not sure why the OP feels the need to scorched-earth his Steam account, but. . .

I've had my steam account for 10 years, accumulating well over 15000 hours in gaming. I am a rookie compared to some of you gaming wolves.

That doesn't seem terribly "rookie".

I have no friends list. I use Steam to buy & play games. It's a functional utility and a store, not a lifestyle. /shrug

(well, ok, I have two people on my friend's list, they're both people I've known IRL for 15+ years and were added as friends back then. And I still don't actually interact with them on/via Steam. I mostly stay in Offline mode, so they aren't Big Brothering me.)

I had my steam acc over 14 years and have had max 3 friends added in that time , I have one rn.

I play for entertainment not for friendship.

what games are you playing that you still enjoy lmao.

i enjoy single player games but they do nothing for my multiplayer itch. there isnt a single multiplayer pvp that is playable anymore.

all of them are premade or dont play at all between cheaters and bad actors who afk for 10-20 mins for 100s of games. i cant think of a single one that isnt heavily depopulated and or filled with absolute scum.

I have over 590 games across different launcher, I mainly play horror games , but my pc died so I am forced on to my console for a month or two ( rip ) I stay away from games like call of duty or FPS games since that is the place where all the bad people are most .

You can play for both. Gaming can be a great social activity. Listening to a friend talk about his week while having a game of Killing Floor 2. Gathering some friends around your 90" TV for a game some Tekken matches or Mario Kart.

I've met TONS of people through PC gaming. Some I've known for over 20 years and still talk to them to this day.

I've met plenty of people ingame and even on the forums that later translated to IRL friends.

Yeah, I don't have one of those.



And I actively avoid PvP, because it involves PvPers. A substantial fraction of which are. . . unpleasant people. Enough to make the entire genre unpleasant.

Then let gaming be that "great social activity" for other people. I'm not interested. Outside a bunch of games with my kids, I play single player only and that will remain so.

Yep! That's the beautiful thing about gaming, it can be a fantastic way of socializing, or act as a refuge for the least socially gifted among us and everything in between.

Everybody wins. :)

Your games are safe and that's all that matters.
