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.

I just leave mine in the recent activity sort, and then use the search bar when i want to play something that i havent played recently

I just use dynamic collections, eg. group games by their store-tags, eg. arpg, fps, puzzle, walking-sim, online-coop… etc, whatever I consider handy when going through all of it.

Sure, the categories have a lot of overlap, but I don’t mind, the games list is a disaster anyway (>1300 games on account… yea.).

I used to maintain my own categories, but at some point the number of games started to be too much to do it by hand.

edit: One of the better features is to group games with online-coop with friends who have it too. Makes it a lot easier to find the next adventure to start after few beers.

This is how I go about it, too. I also use the favourites feature to self-curate games to reduce choice anxiety when I want to play something.

Whenever I buy a game, it gets favourited, whenever I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited.

If I play some game a lot or feel like playing some game when I have time, I favourite it.

This way anytime I want to play, I have a short list of games to consider, instead of trying to look through my whole library.

Malix ,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

yea I do also use the favorites (and two other manual lists), but thats about it. Mostly I just use the “last played” view of the library and hide games which aren’t installed locally.

“Uncategorized (250)” sums it up pretty well

Scrolling through the massive list of Humble Bundle games I didn’t and still don’t care about.

Plibbert ,

You have managed to make me feel better about my self

It’s back

porotoman99 , in Steam appears to be down.

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

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.

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.

lemann , in Steam appears to be down.

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.

Wes_Dev , in The old version of The Sinking City soon to be removed

Oh shit, I almost bought that on sale a week and a half ago. Should have done it.

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.

Carighan ,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

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

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

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.

lorty ,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

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

SSJ2Marx , in Introducing Steam Families
@SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net avatar

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.

Oh man that’s gonna cause so much drama lmao
