I don't like you, conceitedguy, but I agree that the trend of trying to turn this forum into some kind helldump for games is not positive.

don't try to galtse with steam info. nobody needs to know how to download a game. nobody needs to know every country in each region when you can post a little colorcoded map. don't have redundant information like the ssd defraggler thing which was in 3 separate times.

well I meant to bring it back but ideas to fix the op are cool too.

galtse is cool but pretty boring :shrug: maybe something photoshop-heavy would be nice because of all the photoshop wizards who posted in that thread

This thread seems to lack an informative OP. Here's an OP from another Steam thread that can be pretty useful. It's a bit long, so if you have a question about something in particular, you may want to Ctrl+F a keyword.

e: When in doubt, delete Clientregistry.blob

quite simply, it shouldn't come back. 99% of conversation in the thread is 'hey is this game good, should I buy it?' and whenever steam did anything actually interesting like summer sale or trading cards it got its own thread anyway. It was a lovely general thread in a cheap disguise.

Yeah, pretty much.

If it has to come back, it should be split into multiple threads. I think "New Steam releases", "Steam troubleshooting" and "Game deals" would be a good start.

It is though. Those three topics are distinct enough that there wouldn't be much overlap between those three threads. It's way more convenient to post in a thread that's only about Steam technical errors if you're having problems than to post in a thread that's about that, games and game deals.

Do you really need a thread for steam technical errors when the answer is always "delete clientregistr.blob"?

Me? No, I've never had trouble with Steam. But when I read the Steam thread, posts about technical problems seem to get lost in all the game chat, so I think having a separate thread about them wouldn't be pointless.

People who come to the games forum of a comedy website for a technical software problem instead of simply googling the problem or postin in the official troubleshooting forum of the actual software probably should be ignored anyway.

Truth: I didn't mind the old thread and just dismissed it as pleasant but unreadable. Ralp gave me an opportunity to send over twelve thousand posts into a toilet. All I was going to do with last night was a couple of runs on crimzon clover and read a book anyways.

Then I cleared my goal on CC and went to bed a little earlier than expected.

like those dudes are seriously p[retty awesome imo. they are huge loving nerds for wanting a console to fail and they post a ton about it. but they take their licks and get trolled all to hell a lot in that thread but they keep on trucking and then never report anyone. that poo poo is respectable to me

I don't think it's a bad thread, I just think it's funny how long the OP is, and funny that someone bothered to read it out loud for a very trivial reason, and cool that we got to see him do it, and hopefully cool/funny that we get to see someone else do a forums stunt to get it back.
