I'm pretty sure there's a "launch Steam minimized" option in the settings somewhere, but I'm not at my PC right now, I'll check when I get home.

Well your phrasing helped me google my problem, and it looks like that option is just gone from the settings menu now. And the suggested solution is to add an extra command to your Steam desktop shortcut (and also use a Steam desktop shortcut). Kinda funny/annoying

did you know there's a torture technique that consists of blasting the same song into a cell for days or weeks on end? i learned about it in sere. that was basically my teenage years with my sister's obsession with rent. every waking hour, that loving soundtrack at max volume. it was my alarm clock, my lullaby, and everything in between. it soured me on musicals in general to this day. so, not a big fan when non-musicals suddenly swerve into a musical scene.
My freshman year roommate played Wish You Were Here for the entire year. Not even the album, solely the eponymous song. Sometimes he'd sing along.

Not really.

It has problems and there's no reason to grab it if you're playing solo, but I find that it's really fun in a group. It's great when people head out on expeditions and some of us stay home to build a base and we can just shoot the poo poo until someone screams "cave troll!" and we have to scramble to figure out where the gently caress our friends are.

Yeah, that's a reason to build for launch. The double tap always works.

I speak from experience (and endless arguing back and forth in PYF) that it doesn't always work.

Not to say you shouldn't be focusing on Launch as a fundamental part of your offense, that's absolutely true.
