Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Thank you Humble bundle for inflating the value for my account

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

That my privacy settings are set correctly, so they didn't have any information on me besides the number of games I own.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I've spent close to 7% of my life playing steam games?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That I apparently do not exist on steam

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I found I had to put in the whole URL that's in my profile, rather than just my Steam name

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only surprising thing is that I guess I have all my games hidden. Oh well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

how do you even display them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No idea, I didn't feel like figuring it out lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It says right on the page. Edit profile - privacy - set to public. Wait 5 mins

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I saw that too, then thought, "nah, I'm good"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Its not that bad if you open steam and click your name in the top right, but for the lazy it ain't worth it

(full instructions are on the page when it realizes youre account is private)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

My favourite game is Blender apparently with over 4000 hours

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

The most surprising thing are the games we played along the way~

I'm feeling lucky had me play some random ass VN I got as a gag gift multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That I've only played 60% of my 750 games

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

5% of 400…

I’m so ashamed that the numbers clearly present me as one of those “but, it’s on sale!” buyers who then only play 3 games year after year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been doing my best, and I got past 50% of my 847 a while back!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

39% wow. Yeah lots of free games and Humble Bundles.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it any good in the long run?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is what any good? Humble Bundle? I don't know, I quit buying them years ago because I didn't play enough. Same thing with PC Game Pass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I should probably join humble bundle, I've been paying full price

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I just wishlist games on Steam and Isthereanydeal.com and wait for sales. In the long run often games will be given away for free before I buy them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

11 cents per hour? Nice. I pay more than that at an arcade, even if the price is just a single quarter. :D

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'm shocked I've played as many of my games as I have! I thought it would be a lot lower of a percentage

  • Games owned: 903
  • Games played: 654 (72%)
  • Hours on record: 10,428.8h
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

That my total playtime is still only 10 months. I could have sworn I had spent over a year by now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

$0.26/hour is pretty good!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

There's only 4 games that I've bought that I've paid over $55 for. Over the 10 years I've apparently been on Steam, I would have thought there'd be more in that price range, but I guess I've been pretty good at taking advantage of sales.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Only 2000 hours in 19 years? Doesn't feel right, but I guess many of my games aren't from Steam.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It says I have nearly 4k hours playing games, but I have a single game at 1k hours and only a few in the 100 hour range. Idk how it got that high, I feel like it's counting non-games but idk what.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Wallpaper Engine will do it for ya if like you say counts non-games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That I've only played 400 out of the 1600 games I own (in my defense I got a lot of these games from bundles) and I have 6800 hours total playtime.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My account value is $321. Blastoff!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Total Hours on Record: 8,823.0h

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That I spent ca a third of a dollar per hour of gameplay (in paid games only).

I expected my rate to be much worse with my huge backlog...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Out of 394 games, I've only paid 53,50€ or more for 3 of them. What a cheap bastard LMAO

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've spent almost exactly 150 days in STEAMVR but it's not counted?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My average is higher than I thought ~$18.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve been on steam for almost 15 years. Time flew!!
