>>742449426UNC
you can just buy old accounts, most of yall are probably larping
>>742450351timmy bout to cry over here
Lost my OG Steam account to my college email but 2004 here
>>742450351sorry whatever platform you use doesn't give 2 shits about you :(
My Steam ID puts me around the 100,000th user account on Steam.
oldfags used to brag about having 10+ year old accounts 10 years ago. now it's sad to see these 20+ year old accounts.
>>742450429lol you genuinely think your cult leader gabe cares about you
>>742449426Steam was already out when I was 13? Whaaat? Did you need it to play Half Life 2 or something?
i was THE most anti-steam person. i had all the nosteam cracks. i seethed about it on the forums to the bros day and night. then one day...i made an account...
>>742450319This happened to me. Bought an e account on eBay because cheap CS key, let my friend use my account. Was fine for a few weeks until he decided to use hacks and got the account banned.
Whats your first steam game bros.I bought Day of Defeat physical boxed version after watching my friend play it and it looked cool.
>>742450489I've had an account for years and I still seethe about steam to this day lol
>>742450489At least people aren't thanking you for your service
>>742450462What's more sad is seeing>Last online: 3,462 days ago
>>742450561Yeah my brother in law served and has PTSD and a lot of bad memories, I don't think that's something we should be celebrating
uwu
>>742450623My heart goes out to you, mental health is a serious dilemma in the gaming sphere.
>>742449426back then steam was just DRM for valve's gamesnot really something to be proud of
>>742450459Nvm, it's still first 200,000 users.
>>742449426I think Zoomers are still the coolest and the most antisemitic generation so far
>>742449426>install steam to play CS>it has chat>it has voice chat>it installs updates so I don't have to coordinate with friends and download manually>it looks cool>years later>it has games from third parties>it has a storefrontI still miss the simplistic green library list. But damn, good times
>>742450661Ty saucy <3
Reminder for this thread: if your steam lvl is higher than your years of service you are a faggot
>>742450735Whaaaat but that's really easy to do and I don't even play games that much.
>>742450735EZ
>>742450735>quoth the lonely retard
>>742449523Shouldn’t you be getting groomed on discord?
>>742449426>2004That's a mark of shame from a time when Steam was considered the most draconian DRM of all and you happily accepted it.
>>742450798that's the point you only level it by not playing games which is the only thing you should have steam for not playing baby dolls and dressup with your little friends
>>742450735o-oh
>>742450459>>742450340>>742450245>>742449426I bought CS source from best buy

>>742450907yup, you're a faggot

>>742450968sorry I like to trade items on steam and have some level of credibility?
>>742450902Wait what? I only use Steam to play games. I genuinely don't understand this fucking platform at all kek. Do you get it from leaving reviews?
>>742449426do you regret your username?
>>742451027hes wrong, playing games doesnt increase steam level, playing games does unlock cards which do nothing until you use them to make badges which can then increase steam level.
>>742449426>I was the cancer that finally reached terminal status 21 years agoAnd to think you could've gotten laid instead.
>>742451150Also buying games.
>>742451275Yeah but I think thats almost negligible, you need to buy like 50 games to get the worth of 1 game badge crafted with cards.
I'm up there
I bought csgo when it first game out but never played it, I tried it for the first time 3 months ago. I had these random badges like 10 year veteren coin and when I was bad at the game and didnt know any callout locations people thought I was trolling and wanted to kick me. Fucking badges man.
>>742451085thank god for display names. there's probably not a single account that's over 20 years old and still uses the same handle they registered with
>>7424516732003 bro holy shid.I wish I could be in the 20+ category too.
>>742451027you get steam level from being a fruitcake that treats steam like a social media platformyou have to make a conscious effort to raise your steam level beyond the levels you get from account age and total games owned
>>742451856Just imagine all the xX***Xx variations, SOVL
>>742449426>he didn't play hl2 on launch

>>742451856Mine does
>>742452197my best friend had XxSgT_EvErSMaNxX for a while. i always gave him shit for it. but then again mine back then had "420" in it.
>>742452361I have one too but I don't remember why I bought this.
>>742452361Based, I have some boxes too. Ive actually used the CD Keys in them twice to regain my account after getting tricked as a kid.

my account is still pretty young :(
>>742449426>decembermate, I had a 2003 account that got banned for teaching people how to pirate half life 2
>Steamies are actually bragging about seniority in Steam!>They think that seniority matters on the internet!You guys are dumb!Seniority matters only if you have a job because you'll be eligible to get tenure in the future.
>>742454095This is the badge of seniority on Steam. why is mine bronze even though I joined in 2009. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>742452991more like what went wrong with the internet? internet and social media peaked in late 90s and early 00s and nothing better has been able to surpass or even replace 4chan as a social media.
The prize is self-awareness that you're an old fart.
>>742454716The government intentionally wants to make the internet as shit as possible so people would rather work for the military or become doctors/lawyers. The sad thing is how many companies are on board with the idea (because they get paid to be) and how many people eat it up.
>>742452991I'd rather be here shitposting than lurk on some shitty forum where you get permabanned for failing to recognize 46 different genders
kill me
>>742452991You would have left already if you truly believe that.>I'm just gonna hang out here for a few years and leave at some arbitrary ageIt don't work like that, leave now if you don't want to be here forever. It applies to so many other things in life too.>I'll just play video games until I'm 30>I'll just be unemployed for a few years then get a job>I'll just be single for a bit, no need to rushlmaoSee you at 40 "loser"
>>742454964no fuck you , you get to be miserable with me until the end
>>742455092
My account is in the first 5000 ever made
who the fuck spammed "unc" and made it a thing? was it from here originally? the same with *oomer and incel shit?
>>742455090NTA, but the only person who truly left 4chan permanently and he's STILL alive was Christopher Poole (Moot).Which is really shocking because everyone is trapped here for eternity! Nobody can leave 4chan except if they die in real life!
>>742455332>was it from here originally?Snoop Dog
I made my first steam account when I bought Counter-Strike in stores like 25 years agobut I dont remember the account details anymore
>>742455259>>742452272I had my doubts anyone would be ahead in the line. I kneelnot sure how you got below 5K where I am above, but time fuckery is a thing
>>742455332it's alphoid speak
>lost my original account years ago because retarded kid me registered it with a hotmail account
>>742455090I did the opposite>Waged for years>Worked my life away>Believed if I "just work hard enough", I'll eventually get a proper career>Fired due to downscaling>Couldn't get a real job for years due to DEI, nobody hiring White males>Now working deadend storage jobsI honestly wish I just stayed neet and played videogames
>>742454848You know the internet is responsible for killing so many jobs?
>>742449921This. OP is a golem
>>742449921PC would be dead or in the clutches of Microsoft without Steam.
>>742452991I'll take 4chan over faggoting redditors like you anytime.
>>742453978>had
>>742454490>Not both
>>742450628I imagine an unc in his thirties saying "uwu", and I don't like it.
>>742455332anon, you're old
>>742452161I know that feeling, i fucking forgot my login so i made a new account
>>742449426The Best Investments I've Ever Made.
>>742452991I could say the same. You are the one wasting your prime time here, faggot
>>742454490do u have the halo?I heard people who didn't get halo don't get to get better badges
>>742449426I've been playing PC games since 2001, but it wasn't until 2011 when a GPU gave me a free copy of Deux Ex Human Revolution for steam that I made an account.
Buying HL2 and taking it home only to find out you needed to install this buggy piece of shit online program to run it was one of my great disappointments as a youngin.
>>742450351Why can't egs can't make something so simple
im almost old enough to post on this website
I had a low digit steam acc but I traded it for a vanilla worlo acc back in the day.
>>742450351I will delete it as soon as piece of shit GabeN dies or resigns
get off my lawn
>>742449426I remember the old days when PC gamers despised Steam.
>TFW 33 >Didn't sign up for Steam will 2013 In my defense I didn't game on PC up until 2013-2014, and even then, it was rare. I didn't fully shift to PC gaming until 2019-2020. From 2007-2011, high school for me, I was gaming on strictly console, so no reason to have a Steam account, don't think I even knew what Steam was, and I didn't give a fuck about Counter Strike.
>>742449426indeed.
>>742449426
my first steam game was buying a physical retail copy of half-life 2 episode 1 (i only played hl2:dm).
>>742465548>retail copy of half-life 2 episode 1Cute Alyx cover
>>742464642>L-let me explaindude relax this is 4chan not a job interview

>>742465738I'm not a normalfag like you.
>Will you pass your steam account down to your children? I've been thinking about this. Imagine your grandchildren playing on your 150 year old account. Still able to install Deus Ex 1 and Half-life 2.
>>742453461This. I came here after I completely gave up on being normal.
>Steam Summer CampI vaguely remember enjoying this.
>>742450735Youre just poor and cant waste your money without it hurting you.
>>742466447steam accounts are not inheritable
Based 20+ patricians. If you are below 20 years get the FUCK out of this thread, only high class users allowed to post here.
I'm like a spring chicken
Your Steam account must be 18 years or older to post on 4chan
still mad about losing my old account since they refused to recover it (no longer had access to the email for steam guard)thankfully there wasn't much on there but there's still the principle of itnow i just have a cucked 5-year-old onekinda soured me on ever buying stuff off steam again tbqdesu, aside from the multiplayer stuff i can't pirate
>>742451856I'm using the same one because I wasn't an adhd ridden child who typed in the first name that came to mind. I've had the same handle since 1998

>>742470098I'm gonna kill myself anyway
I was on steam sometime at the start but then Time Warner Cable shut down Roadrunner internet and took the old email address with them (fortunately the only thing I had bought was HL2 Episode 1)
>>742470127Good, fucking do it already
>>742449715>>742470098>>742470127hey guys can I join too
>>742450735It sounds like you don't play video games so it's no wonder you're on /v/.

>>742470314Stop using my name
>>742470343When you stop doing the same
>>742466000why even post this when primeval warrior badge exists lol
I think I made the account for TF2 when it went f2p
>>742470098Gratz. Good for you. I am married to my husband, who is a former snoygger. lol
>>742449426Yikes. I avoided it as long as I could but when I bought the physical PC version of New Vegas from GameStop it forced me to use Steam to install it anyway.
>>742450245same
>>742469867A man chooses, a slave obeys.
What was you guys' first game(s)? I installed steam purely for Gmod and only bought the other source games because I was told I had to. >back when i still had a paypal accountAh, memories
>>742456267Hotmail is still technically around, its just Outlook now. I created my XBL account back in like 2008 with it.
>>742449426i had accounts as old as 2008 but i lost them all :(my current account is 2011 old (and has vac, because i was a dumb kid who cheated on cod)
>>742449921>t. subscriber of microsoft/sony/nintendo's emulator or cloud subscription
>>742450351>nintendo and sony shutdown 5 stores in a decade and increases prices to 80 dollars>steam gives 90% off sales and proceeds to exist for 20+ years(also here's a badge)Just because first worlders like living in the first world and not the third world doesn't mean they're loyal, it's just the only non-retarded option.
>742470127Thank you
>>742449921When Steam first came out PC gaming was nearly dead. You basically had everyone except Vavle and Blizzard jumping ship to console because MUH PIRACY never mind that everyone was pirating on consoles too.
I had an account from November 2004 from when Half-Life 2 came out, but I'm pretty sure my email for that one was very fucking gay, like harrypotterman2001@hotmail.com or something (password was dumbledore). Russians probably have that account now which had very few games anyways.
wow. crazy to think this is the same time i almost lost my virginity. i was unironically probably using steam while some 13 year old was getting fingered on my bed by my best friend and i was coping about him stealing her by probably posting here. grim.i wish those old archives still existed. that "times you fucked up" megathread was fantastic.
What games do uncs play?
>>742477664
>>742450478he gives a shit about games and that's good enough
>>742450735
made an account the day Half Life 2 released because i got a free copy from my graphics card
>>742450735lots of faggots in this thread it seems
>>742477643Brother why are you still thinking about that shit. You gotta let it go.
>>742449426Fucking newfag.
>>742450735f-fuck!
>>742450245not a single hair of grey yet>inb4 bald
>>742477345PC was alive and well in 2004 when Steam came out. High quality games, lots of exclusives.By the end of the decade it was dead and never recovered. How can it ever recover when Steam turned it into the app store with $4.99 shovelware?
>>742452991remember this post you made 20 years from now
>>742452991lol you'll be here too
Didn't care for PC gaming much back then, wasn't a fan of using KB+M for anything besides FPS titles. Only made an account for the Über Update. Flash forward 15 years and Steam is nearly all I use.
>tfw forever trapped between unc and zoomer status, accepted by neither
