Haha! I’m not the only one with categories that are just “friends name”

CyberSeeker , (edited ) in I'm mildly proud of how I categorise my games on Steam and interested to see others' methods

The games in progress I mark as favorites, I have “Finished” and “Play Next” categories, and I have a big dump category called “Won’t Play”.

Aside from that, I have some big categories for collections of old games from humble bundles and steam sales, like legacy Myst, Wizardry, or Sierra games, or like Star Wars game collections.

It’s back

speedstriker858 , in Steam appears to be down.

I may be wrong, but doesn’t valve usually perform maintenance for steam on Tuesdays? Maybe that’s to blame?

hperrin OP ,

It could’ve been a flubbed release. It started right at 3:00pm pacific, so I’m guessing that’s when they push to prod. It seems to be back up now, so I’m guessing they reverted.

porotoman99 , in Steam appears to be down.

steamstat.us shows that it’s down for scheduled maintenance.

lordnikon , in Steam appears to be down.

works fine for me

hperrin OP ,

Let’s hope that means it’s a local outage. Where are you located? I’m in Southern California, and it’s down for me.

Can’t update Enshrouded because of this 😭 pls fix it Gaben

cory_lowry , in What are your favorite Steam games?
@cory_lowry@lemmy.world avatar

Red dead 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding, Control, and Hogwarts Legacy just to name a couple. I don’t have a favorite game but those would probably be my top picks.

trebor_project , in What are your favorite Steam games?

By hours played Rimworld by a large margin.

Lemmchen , in Introducing Steam Families

What happens if my brother gets banned for cheating while playing my game?

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.

That kinda sucks.

ByGourou ,

That’s necessary, “it was my brother who cheated” is the oldest lie.

Piemanding ,

It would be great to blanket disallow games that you can get banned in. Especially VAC bans.

Or alternatively send the rest of the family detailed explanations of how the idiot in question cheated and what they did. 😈

derpgon ,

A thousand times this. I’d even be for a button to add whitelist for games they wanna play. I am super sensitive about Mr acc, and the last thing is having a ban on record. Especially when I had to spend 10 years with a trade probation because my dumb ass duped some items on TF2.

tortiscu ,

Is it though? If they are not banning the whole family, what prevents me from adding a new little brother?

SmilingSolaris ,

The price tag of the game generally

papertowels ,

Except that lie is often used when sharing an account.

Under this system, there is no ambiguity in terms of if it was you or your brother.

Aasikki ,

Yes there is. You can just make another account for yourself and add it to the family, then use it to cheat. That’s the reason why they have to ban both.

papertowels ,

Aaah, didn’t think about that. Darn! Can’t have nice things.

Aasikki ,

Yeah it’s unfortunate that a few bad Apples have to ruin it for everyone 😅.

ReakDuck ,

Well, it never changed for years

I kinda hope they grant the ability to block some games from being shared. I trust my kids not to use cheats, but I can understand being a bit paranoid from being banned from a game you really enjoy and not wanting to take a chance.

ByGourou ,

Yes, especially if you can be banned for your little brother borrowing your game and swearing.

lorty ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

The current family sharing can block certain games, so maybe they’ll keep that going.

Mqybe don’t share with someone who would use cheats?
