>>735068340Why bro... why
>>735068282Name 5 youtubers
>>735068256>>that Anon who privated his profile but forgot he reviewedI didn't forget anything. I just don't want to talk to anyone.
>>735068340I removed her when I saw she started playing with a new guy and they played all the games we used to play
>put myself on invisible>stop getting bots and scammers adding me daily because I have tf2 items in my backpack.Yeah I'll keep it on invisible even if it makes (You) upset.
>>735068256Why are you keeping tabs on other peoples playtimes?
>>735068924Why aren't you?
Is there a reason why so many Steam users have this weird hatred of people who private their profile?
Why do you care if someone is set to invisible? Just message them anyway you coward.
>>735068669i know this feel and i don't like it
>>735068889based
>>735069009a lot of gamers are mentally ill and one of the aspects of many illnesses is the need to be liked by everybody and feel included in everything
>>735068256>boring friend invites me over to his house>says he's getting pretty tired and i can finally leave>get home and finally game it>hes online
>>735068256>that Anon who obsesses over random people who accepted his friend request like they're cheating boyfriends
>>735069009Dates back to when profiles were binary, and you couldn't private parts of them.People who wanted to scam you, couldn't see what these people had in their inventories. So they started trying to "shame" everyone into making their shit public.
>>735068256OP, if you really want to stalk somebody through Steam, just buy and gift them a cheap Steam game that they want. If they accept it, you get a permanent link to their Steam profile in Account Details > Purchase History. The link will continue to work even if they remove you from their Friends list or block you.

>>735068340Woman don't play videogames
>>735068256Growing up as a millennial, if you wanted to play with your friends, you had to go knock on their door, and ask their mom if he can come over to play. You didn't have constant updates to his activity and whereabouts. That shit is unnatural.
>>735070062who said anything about women, have you not seen the steam friend threads?
>>735070234yeah and that shit sucked!>"here's your controller anon" >it's some madcatz abortion or the controller is half broken>"come over and play the new game with me">they just expect you to sit there and watch them play it or it's always 'their turn' in swapsies>"sleepover at my place!">not allowed to stay up past 9 and their mom/dad are shouting/screaming/beating the shit out of each other or even their son in front of youZoomers and Gen Alpha have it so good.
>>735070412>heir mom/dad are shouting/screaming/beating the shit out of each other or even their son in front of youbased
>>735070412>friend starts fighting with his sister/brother>gets the console taken away and/or told you have to go home and can't stay
>>735070412Yeah, most true. But none of that has anything to do with keeping tabs on people. You know what else sucked? That one kid who would constantly come knocking multiple times a day, asking if you can play, even while you're busy, or just not in the mood. At least back then, you had somewhat of a barrier against them. But today, they'll just constantly ping you on social media, until you go invisible to make them stop.
>>735070567>friend and I skip school to go to his place>his mom is home>starts yelling like a banshee behind a half open door>"sorry but you'll have to leave for today anon"the punchline? his mom didnt give a single fuck that we ditched an entire day of school in 6th gradeno, the problem was that he invited friends without telling her so she could clean the house beforehand the house was shining already
>>735068256>working on a mod for a game>requires me to open and close the game a lot>get yelled at because it's spamming their notifications with "anon has started playing...">fine I'll go offline>forget to turn it back online for a month >they've been cyberstalking me and have a huge meltie about me hidinggawd fuck off dude
>>735068669bitch learned good vidya from you
>>735068256Thank god all my steam friends are normal well adjusted individualsProbably because I don't play multiplayer games and add people who would be parasocial towards me
>>735070718what game are you modding, anon?
>>735070718You can just make that one game private
>>735068256S.T.A.L.K.E.R
>>735068256Stalkers like you are one of the many reasons why no one who is mentally sane adds people from /v/ or /vg/ on steam.
>>735068256i do this on PSN too. i just want to play videogames
>>735070638That one is more common than you'd think. There are a lot of women from that generation where presentation is everything and of it isn't all completely perfect they freak out.
>>735068256I stopped using invisible after one of my steam friends had a melty thinking I was doing it because of them.
I only play with people I know IRL so they can just call me
>>735069591Being tired from an extended social situation doesn't mean "sleepy", it means he wanted to be alone and "finally game it" on his own just as you did.
>>735071240Snowrunner, I'm lowering the voron G's center of gravity so it doesn't fucking tip over all the damn time. I swear anyone who calls it OP doesn't actually play the game and just downloads the opinions of people on youtube who use flat test maps.
I just don't like social media anymore. Forums and imageboards included. I want to be left alone.
I'm just completely offline. no need to chat
>>735068340i have 6 people on my steam friends list and she's two of them
>>735068256Obsessed. Just suck his cock already.
>>735071526I get that but I went inside the house and if she told me she had just finished cleaning I would've believed her. I'd understand if there was litter all over the floor and months worth of dust but no the house was fucking pristine
>>735071971No no no, you don't understand. She hadn't cleaned yet this morning so it obviously looked like a dump.
>>735071890>hisher
>>735068340even after years i still do sometimes and wonder what has become of her

>that anon who should GET BACK TO WORK OR ELSE HE'S FIRED
>>735069991just use steam history
>>735068256limbussy cuckany fans can't deceive anyone from how much they love sucking penises in privatewhile pretending they're girls
I don't have any steam friends. Why should I keep my profile public?
>>735078776but that's the screenshot from your own library...
>>735078834kept it in the background while I was playing something else for the download to go on and forgot about it, played like 1 real hour and gave up cause it's an interactive book paired with an automated board game
>perma-invisible>play game>liked it, left a positive review>fast-forward a few months>see game on my brother's steam storefront "RECOMMENDED BY YOUR FRIEND: FAGGOT"seriously what the fuck is the point of all this privacy features if none of them work
>>735078905we progressed storytelling to what feels like an unattainable height in late 90s and early 2000s with how they keep making people read stories instead of experiencing themit's pathetic that faggots turned video games into book clubs
>>735068340i did this for awhile and it made me incredibly depressed but thankfully i'm past it now
>>735078975>noooo why can't i ghost peoplegrow up
>>735068256>the OP who is a faggotah wait, that's a pleonasm
>>735070567>call friend to go to my house and play vidya>dad is driving us around>talk shit to my dad for some reason>takes friend back to his house and grounds meprobably deserved it, also>first sleepover ever at friends house>wake in the middle of the night>no mommy>cries>his mom actually comes in and hugs me and pats me in the head til I go to sleep againgreat mom, good lad
If someone is invisible that means they don't want to be bothered. And it's probably you they don't want to be bothered by.
>>735068478>>always offline>>private profile>>no customization>>no avatar>>plain nickname>>no groups>>no friendsthis
>>735079258i wish it was still possible to get women to hug me by crying
>>735081186I also remember being 5 and getting bullied by teenagers on this school van and all the teen girls kept protecting me with hugs an kisses, sweet innocent memoriesit's a fucking miracle I'm not into mommy shit or /ss/
>>735068256I don't have irl or internet friends, so I can't relate to this experience.
I’m using invis on mobile so I don’t spam on/off like crazy
>>735068256>Invisiblehe Boss
>broadcast every gaming session to youtube >set stream to private and don’t share the link with anyone>act as though I have an actual audience and talk to them
>>735068340>ghosted a friend group like ten years ago because i catfished them and could no longer keep up the lie anymore >had one person there in particular with whom we considered each other an internet couple>genuinely liked the dude and i felt like he really liked me too but i could no longer keep the lie going so i had no choice but to ghost him and the others >still check out their profiles on Steam like once a month to this day >the others are online on and off>my pretend ex-boyfriend is always offline >can’t tell if he’s dead, lost or gave up that profile, or if he’s one of those invisible fags>too nervous to message the other people in that group to see how he’s doing
>>735081731Now this is a tier of schizoid I admire.
>>735070638I genuinely don’t get this about boomer women. My mom will literally devise plans to get people to NOT come into our house because she feels it isn’t presentable. And when it’s inevitably that someone is visiting our house and she has more than a day’s notice, she’ll spend the entire day before cleaning up the house. Like, mom, it’s some relative or friend or other acquaintance visiting, not some fucker in an open house tour
>purchase games through Steam website>download files with SteamCMD>crack them if necessary>have zero interaction with the Steam client or any of its features It's a peaceful life.
>>735082234he killed himself because you ghosted him
>>735068340I've avoided it now for nearly 6 years and counting.
>friend has been offline for several years >changed his pfp a few months ago>changed his background last monthI talk to the dude once a week and we get along fine, so I’m not really hating on him for being one of those always invisible guys, but I just find it so weird how little concern he has for his invisibility. It’s like he just forgot he’s invisible or something
>>735081563I am of the opinion that if any of my friends don’t want to see that they should turn it off.
I set mine to invisible countless years ago and never looked back. I don't do much PC gaming these days anyways though. Main reasons I did it was because I have been wanting to sever most of my social media and internet use, but also because I wanted to be able to play Steam games while WFH without my boss knowing.
>>735068256>Put invisible on steam>Discord still shows what you playI hate Jews.
>>735068256Reviews should be anonymous if you're a private profile.I don't want my friends seeing me rate a hentai game low cause it has NTR or Futanari shit in it.
>>735083980>installing cuckord>using cuckord at allyou deserve it
>>735083823why the fuck would your boss know this, did you add him on steam?
>removed all my friends because i never talk to or do anything with them>still appear invisiblegot that dual layered autism
>>735068256I purge my friends lists a few times a year and remove anyone who isn't regularly online or doesn't actively play games with me so this has never bothered me. the funniest part though is when I remove someone who has been offline for months and they try to re-add me almost immediately
>>735070412My mother forced me to empty my piss bottles when my friends were at the house.
>>735084497I did the same thing, dumped my whopping total 3 friends that I'd met in other tangentially vidya-related online communities (only 1 of whom I ever actually played a single game with, once) a few months ago.
>Go online for the first time in awhile to play with some friends>Guy I played a game with ages ago and barely remember messages me saying we should play sometimeHe does this once in a blue moon and I always feel so bad about it, I'm too autistic for this shit. I honestly have no idea why he wants to play with me. We weren't really close nor did we even play together more than a few times. I don't understand how I apparently left such an impression that he still reaches out to me like a decade later after years of no real contact. I'm pretty sure I've seen him play games with other people a fair amount of times too and I remember him being pretty normal so I don't think he's like desperately lonely or anything.
>>735068340If your girlfriend has a steam profile you’re both a problem
>>735068256>that anon who nobody likes and everyone hides from
>>735068340>All these fucking normalfag repliesGoddamn.
>>735084201sometimes I have to scour discords for obscure modding shit but I'm not retarded enough to have it installed like that guy, I just do it in-browser
>>735069672I thought it was the reddit mentality of "I can't win this argument, so I'm going to stalk you."
>Niggas have been making up imaginary reasons for why they sit in invisible to their 0 friend lists and totally aren't miserable for like 5 years now
>>735085773>He does this once in a blue moon and I always feel so bad about it, I'm too autistic for this shit. I honestly have no idea why he wants to play with me. He likes you
>>735087351I'm not making up any reason, I'm simply telling you in complete truth while I sit invisible to my 0 friends that I am not miserable.
>that anon whos never made friends with a random person online
>>735082234Gift him a game from his wishlist.Bitch.
>>735087684god damn it man...
>>735082234i hope you at least said SOMETHING before ghosting him rather than just vanishing one day and making him think you died
>>735068256I got a friend request from some Brazilian guy. He had like 900 friends so I was like whatever. I said hi to him a few times and talked but he kept getting mad when I would be online but not respond when I was away from my PC. They then wrote this "Dear Stan" post on my wall then unfriended and blocked me. I can only imagine him bullying his 900 other friends into talking to him.
>>735068256Gonna play Pragmata publicly visible while hiding from you in friends.
>>735068340I wonder what my gf's lief would look like if she were my exwe were pretty close when we temporarily broke up 10 years ago but we've been together since, so I still can't picture itit feels strange to imagine her playing vidya with anyone other than me, or having a steam profile where the main person who's supposed to look at it wasn't mewell, she told me she would never move on from me if we broke upshe told me she knows I'd never stop gooning to her (she's right) if we broke upI have no frame of reference
>>735068340This is why I deleted all my socials. It's just constant reminders on how much you fucked up and got left behind through very little fault of your own.
>>735090070Lil Timmy behavior
>>735090128sdiybt
>>735068669she is introducing all those games you liked to her new chad boyfriend while he introduces something into her
>>735068256>That anon who stalks other people's profiles and play time for some reasonIf I ever find out someone does this, I'm removing them from my friends lol
>>735070256But those threads make it explicitly clear that there shall be "no gay shit".
>>735068669>>735090843Women do that but with sex too. Next time you fuck a chick in the ass remember that someone trained her.
>>735071845are u ok retard?
>>735083643Me too. I have a friend who complains about it every now and then, and every time I tell him to turn it off, he comes up with some half-assed excuse for why he won't, and I tell him to shut the fuck up then.
>>735068256And if you ever call me out on it you're getting blocked immediately. If you werent such an obnoxious faggot i wouldn't have to go invisible.
>>735082234This is the most mentally ill post i've ever seen. Kys tranny.
>>735088932I did say something to him. I sort of basically broke up with him and refused to elaborate. He seemed hurt, but I like to think he’s doing much better now. He was a cool, smart, and dependable guy, I’m sure he’s fine right now
I stay invisible so people think I'm a busy, working man, but I spend most of my days playing games and shitposting here.
>>735068256That's literally me. I think I've been appearing offline for almost a decade.
>>735073143Kek
>>735079258Kwab
>>735068256Irl tsundere
>that anonWHO GIVES A FUCK
>>735093624B-but anon I care about you...
>>735068256How about you stop stalking people and creeping them outYou're the kickstarter of this self fulfilling prophecy, people go invisible because they don't want you to stalk em and you go out of your way to do so because they're invisible
>>735090070>through very little fault of your own.lol
my irl friends told me i had to choose between them and /v/, so i cut them off. i would never abandon my /v/ pals...
>>735091323Every time you kiss a woman you are literally kissing the juice from another man's penis juice.Staying single is literally the only safe option at this point. Not even kidding.
>>735095341This is some next level incel shit
>>735092197hopefully he learned for the next evil loser who tries to take advantage of him like you
>>735081731I do this but in my head and all day long
>>735095461This. Imagine being so afraid of being "gay" that you just stop kissing women altogether. This is late stage christcuckery
>Finally build a PC after many years>Stream to my friends once and realize how annoying they all are-- especially when playing solos or RPGs>Go invisible and just play solos>Only log in when they want to play somethingHonestly though, I think I'm tired of them. I can talk to strangers and others online, but I just get annoyed with most of them these days and don't really want to be bothered. I'm an ass.
>>735095819I’ve been doing this since pre mainstream internet times. Back then I pretended to play and review vidya on TV lol. I’m old now and still do it. I just truly loved video games all my life. Never tried making it my career though
>>735068340I had one on my friends list who hadn’t even been online in over a decade, only to notice she randomly removed me one day lmao
>>735096420yeah I have had something like a TV audience in my head laughing at me when I trip and fall or pitying me when something bad happens since I was a little kid
i used to have a problem with docking my friends list on another monitor and staring at it, but years went by and nobody sent me any messages and i never talked to these peopleit withered my psyche but once i started using invisible mode i got betterinternet doesn't have a sense of community anymore, i'm also not young anymore and don't feel the need to make friends or speak to strangersthe internet is full of browns and underages now, not white male 20-somethings like it was in the 00s, i don't relate to anyone at all
>>735068256i used to make myself invisible all the time until recently. i just realized that if i'm invisible no-one will want to join me or talk to me...
You know that some people just grow out of video games right?
>>735097086no that doesn't happen...
>>735095717What are you supposed to learn when they won't (or can't) tell you what you did wrong? You get ghosted enough the only thing you learn is not to have friends because you can't even trust the people you are close with which is probably why he is perma invisible it is the same reason i am you can only have your heart ripped out so many times.
>>735096850So it changes nothing
>>735097270that's why I said hopefully and I have to assume that other people have done better than I did at dealing with psychopaths
>>735097086I’d probably only play very specific, rare releases nowadays if I had an actual life. God I wish were rich.
>gift someone from /v/ a wishlist game since I liked what they had been playing lately>remove them>the add me right backLike, nigger that wasn't an accident. I don't believe in pure parasocial relationships. Modern people are self-centered and borderline sociopathic.
>that one anon who lurks on his former friend's steam profile every once in awhile wondering what life would be like if the friendship survived>that one anon who madly scours through the Monster Hunter World Guild Card lost hoping he exchanged it with the woman who called him adorable once (1)
>>735095861>This is late stage christcuckery>insulting christianity out of nowhereI know what you are
>>735097379i want to believe it will change...
>>735072861What happened to these guys? I remember they announced a live action adaptation for their military series and then just dropped off the face of the earth.
>friends have my phone number>never call or text>bombard me with messages if I take invisible off
>>735068340>Normgroids on 4chanLeave.
>>735096338kek. i know that feel.offline mode, only play factorio in stanalone version. only search games on steam to research
>>735069009They see it more as a social platform than a games store/launcher. In other words, they're faggots, trannies, or women.
>>735081438You were living the dream, man. Meanwhile teen girls laughed at me when I was 5 or something because of something I was wearing.
>Friend messages me>Instantly turn on do not disturb>Realize later other people can see when you enable itI wonder how he felt. Not that I care.
>>735094642Fuck off, no one thinks about you as much as you think about them.
>>735101430You do care, and it was probably something along the lines of>oops I guess they were busy
>>735101835Except we haven't talked in a year at that point. Now it's two years.
>>735102106It's okay if you do, that's normal.
>>735102825Do what? Care? If I cared I would still talk to him and my other "friends". This one in particular turned into a furry femboy... made it his whole personality, last time we spoke.
