There's a handful of demos in there though.
Most of the ones on steam are probably humble bundle

i validate my self-worth through consumerism hocuspocus;
well so do i and the rest of humanity lol
but not all of us choose to do so through
steam, specifically
My question is, really, how did you all come to amass your Steam collections? How does a person end up with hundreds of games, when of those hundreds the vast majority aren't (and probably weren't ever) worth even
thinking about playing? befuddlement
at a certain point it ceases to be validating and just becomes annoying pollution to sort through
and then it becomes a slightly distressing ever-present reminder of your own mortality lol
well your bias against indie games won't really help you understand lol
all the games i buy are worth thinking about playing for me, otherwise i wouldn't add them to my wishlist
i just wind up not playing them most of the time, except when i do
because yeah, sometimes i'll randomly feel like playing one of my indie first-person puzzle games or walking sims and yeah, sometimes it'll be a dud, but sometimes i'll land on a gem, and those times are worth it tbh
1,575 games, scrubs
62 games and that's still too many
144 games
I've stopped buying games from sales that I'll never play (the hype used to be real for the seasonal sales) but I don't mind spending $10 on an indie game that'll give me a couple hours of enjoyment.
And there's a lot of good games on steam why are you being so whiner tec?

Ur a rly hardcore gamer
naw the dollar bundle craze just ruined me. i'd say a good 3-400 of those games cost me on average less than 25 cents lol
me tbh:

445 (>61%) of those hours are Skyrim alone. And I'm not even finished with Skyrim. goowan
even this looks overwhelming, and there are there are only maybe ~10 that realistically i'm unlikely to ever seriously play
Quote from: Thyme on October 01, 2018, 02:10:06 PMall the games i buy are worth thinking about playing for me
All 575 of them? I don't think I could name 575 games period, let alone within conditions like
on Steam and
worth even thinking about playing. sillydood;
Quote from: Thyme on October 01, 2018, 02:10:06 PMwell your bias against indie games won't really help you understand lol
lol that's true i guess
although i wouldn't characterize my bias as against indie games alone, it's more generally against games that consensus deems likely to be unworthy of my time, and goodness knows there are a lot of indies (and non-indies) that aren't worthy of anyone's time
i guess that bias combines with my disdain for the romanticization of indies to make it seem as if i particularly dislike indies lol
i don't, but like any game they must go through a process of extreme vetting before they appear on my radar

Idk Civ V
keep going, that list is empty at least partly due to my own ignorance lol, and i'm sure there's more than just civ
What other good exclusives or practical exclusives (like today's TF2) does Steam have? befuddlement
All you need is Civ
But also basically any game made by Paradox like Europa Universalis
Ummm idk Xcom is good but it might've been ported to consoles I forget. Dota 2 (but I don't play this).
Umm idk a lot of the games I own are older PC games that aren't technically Steam exclusive
my library is basically indie games, garbage stuff that came in humble bundles, and stuff that was a much better deal on steam than on other platforms
i definitely don't make a habit of ever prioritizing steam over other platforms unless i have good reason to
all of that amasses to:

Some of you are more hardcore than me, and that makes me feel better.
I own 244 games on Steam. Of those:
5 I actually completed on PC: Portal, Kindred Spirits, Hatoful Boyfriend, Planetarian, Life is Strange
4 more I played a substantial amount of on Steam: Recettear, Neptunia ReBirth 1, Undertale, Gunvolt
6 I completed on other systems: Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Generations, Cave Story+, World of Goo, Back to the Future
28 I actually bought through Steam instead of redeeming download codes from Humble Bundle or whatever (these add up to $234.11, of which $46 are games I haven't even touched)

Quote from: Samus Aran on October 03, 2018, 03:36:10 PMgarbage stuff that came in humble bundles
Here's another question: why even bother redeeming codes for games that you know are garbage or are otherwise low value to you? befuddlement
whenever i buy into a humble bundle or smth i only ever activate the codes i care about lol
to me, keeping pollution on my steam page to a minimum is worth much more than activating any game irrespective of quality just because i can
even if i paid for a shovelware game, to redeem it would still be a waste of time and energy if i have no intention of ever even thinking about playing it
the way steam game lists have ballooned in recent years seems like some manifestation of sunk cost fallacy lol (well i paid for it so now i
have to activate it)

cuz why not lol
steam has a shit ton of filtering/search library features, I can more-or-less ignore them and then i dont have to wonder if i bought them already when i have keys floating out there unsearchable in the ether as opposed to my actual library
