I made myself a promise not to buy any new games for remainder of 2023 and 2024. Finally upgraded my rig and I just want to play my library of games I got on sale a long time ago that i couldn’t play. I am kinda falling in love with games again because I playing all these bangers. I have more of problem finding time to play than find a great title to olay
What’s seemingly more impossible is for the blue line to decline. I assume all lines represent some sort of integral which means number of games played have become negative YoY
But it’s not as funny if you made the graph accurate
The main reason I don't play a bunch of games is that my PC specs have actually gone down a few times...
I had a very nice gaming laptop that died, Got my PC running again, and then had to move, now I only really have room for a laptop, and my backup laptop is... bad. I've ordered a new gaming laptop that's better than anything I've had in years... I might actually get to play modern games again. Kind of looking forward to it.
Same, same. I bought my system well over a decade ago and the only thing I’ve upgraded is the GPU. System still works great for general computing, but it’s missing some of the CPU features newer architectures have like SSE[?-4] and AVX.
Personally I’ve gotten better at this. I’ve managed to control a bit better how much I buy, and I’ve been playing quite a lot of different games in the past year. It’s definitely hard to suppress the monkey brain during a Steam sale tho
Do you have a steam library on the slow drive? Apparently steam usually puts in-progress downloads to the same drive as the game destination but if there’s not enough room or maybe just at random steam will download to the wrong drive.
This is a few years old now but there’s some discussion here steamcommunity.com/…/1646544161774522444/
Fair point. If so, it’s probably putting the update I’m downloading in the removable drive because I only have 21 gigs of free space, maybe, left on the SSD when its max capacity is almost a terabyte.
Yeah. You could try making a symlink from the removable drive downloading folder to your fast drive but I don’t know if that can cause any issues with removable drives, or what would happen if you ran out of space on the removable drive.
Another option would be to use the steam mover app to move games back and forth from your fast/removable drives and get rid of the steam-controlled library that’s located there on the slow drive…
