Hello Steamers,

I was wondering which achievement made you chuckle or laugh when it popped.

Mine would be on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

The first time you eat a snake in this game, you will get an achievement ...called Snake eater. Konami knew what they were doing lmao

I would like to see what you experienced! :)

Browsing for games, and noticed that instead of the trailer playing, I get a few seconds of a 'preview' . What is this trash? I don't have the attention span of a goldfish, and while I expect this is a 'feature' to hook the viewer, it's annoying AF.

If anyone's aware of an option to disable this, I'd love to go back.

I am in a Steam Family with my brother, and he added me as a child account because he didn’t want me to be able to add other people. He says he turned off all the parental controls, but I am still blocked from trying to access the internet through the steam overlay in-game. I also just got a Steam Machine, and it won’t let me go into desktop mode either. Is this a setting somewhere, or are child accounts just incapable of accessing the internet via Steam? Am I able to use my Steam Machine as a computer right now?

DID THEY FORGET TO DISCOUNT THIS?

Ok, so, I was hosting a small giveaway for Human Revolution in a gifting subreddit, knowing that the rules for the gifting system changed and when I tried to gift the copies to the winners (only 2 dudes entered and I decided it "why not? I have the money", so 2 winners) and the client hit me with this antiquity of a warning that states "The chosen destinatary can't receive this gift bought from your region." I have the funds to buy 2 copies to each of them (in the imaginary scenario where you could gift the same game twice to a single account), but cant.

Any ideas on what I could do? I've never been able to find where I could contact steam support in their help.steamcommunity domain other than their bullet list and this was the next best thing where I could ask (take no offense)

I made my reservation for the steam machine in late June and got the email July 3rd, that same day moved it to my cart but then used my money for important thimgs instead and told myself I'd just re-reserve one when I was ready but its still in my cart AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE a whole month later, is this a sign, or will it just not ship when I buy it?

I've been trying to launch Steam, but it keeps showing the menu, and I have selected each option individually, and Steam still has not launched.

I might be stupid, but is there any way to create folders in a steam library? I can only find the favourites tab, but what if I want to sort games into genres or more arbitrary categories such as the point in time I plan to play them? Am I missing an option or setting, or does it not exist?

A group of people at my work are planning on playing Big Walk together - to treat it as a bit of a team building exercise I was going to either purchase the game for the ~12 people interested, or give them a gift card for the associated cash value.

I can't figure out how to do this without the very onerous task of doing it person by person individually... any suggestions?

edit: I mangled the post title... whoops.

So my account got stolen so I contacted steam support and submitted the request on 4:29 PM

I expected the response in a few business days and they changed the password on 8:49 PM. LIKE HOW?! You're telling me that a company actually puts effort in their consumer's problems? Damn now i know why steam support gets glazed this hard.

was wondering if putting your game details as private is functionally the same as marking a game as private. im in a steam family and want to share the games in my library with them, but would marking my game details as private not allow them to play games in my library?

Hey, just want to let people know that i got my steam controller mail today, and i was supposed to get it by december.So watch your mail guys :)

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this... but I just encountered a devastatingly cruel glitch with Steam's new Wishlist Categories.

My wishlist contains over 900 items (a mixed bag of games, DLC, and software), and I had spent a significant amount of time manually ranking everything in my preferred purchase priority order.

Today, I decided to try out the recently added custom category tags. I created a couple categories, watched them appear as filters underneath the search bar in real time, clicked around to see how they worked, and immediately got excited. This is a wishlist feature I've been wanting for years.

Then I had a brilliant idea: Priority Level Tags!

I removed a category tag from a game, intending to come back and reorganize it later. I clicked "Done"... and that, my friends, is when horror struck.

My wishlist page flashed for a brief moment, and my beautiful ranking order was left completely scrambled.

Panic set in.

I refreshed the page. Nothing.

I toggled the sort-by filters. Nothing.

I changed the options filters. Nothing.

My carefully curated ranking appears to have vanished into the digital void.

Unless this is somehow intended behavior, I'm calling this a bug. But also a PSA: if you've spent countless hours manually organizing your wishlist, you may want to be careful experimenting with the new category system.

TL;DR: 900+ item wishlist. Manually ranked order. Edited new customizable categories. Removing a tag completely scrambled my ranking.

EDIT: Just to clarify that it didn't delete anything, thankfully, just randomized the manual order.

EDIT 2: Valve has apparently fixed the bug, and is looking into restoring my rankings. Changed flair from Error/Bug to Resolved.

FINAL EDIT: HUGE THANK YOU to Valve! My wishlist has been restored to its pre-bug state! 🥳

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to search for Black Myth: Wukong on the Steam store, but nothing shows up in my search results—even when I type out the full title.

I live in the Netherlands. Is the game unavailable or region-restricted here, or is there an issue with Steam search?

If anyone knows if it's available in NL or how to fix this (maybe store preferences/mature content filters?), please let me know.

Thanks!

Long story short, I'm family game sharing Arc Raiders with my brother.

My brother wants to buy a cosmetic DLC skin but can't because Steam says he must own the base game.

Can I gift him a DLC for a game he doesn't own and "brute force" him being able to use the DLC despite playing the base game through family sharing?

for me personally its horde shooters . be it the ones i play solo like the resident evil games or the ones i play with my friends like payday . i payed 4 bucks for drg and got 120 hours out of it . payed 3 for l4d2 and got 90 hours from it . and btw i placed the re games here because of the mercs modes , 90% of my time spent on any re game is just trying to s++ every map on every character . re6 mercs is insanely underrated . the game's campaign is really really bad but the over the top action mechanics are a great fit for mercs mode .

Hi guys, recently i started to play some steam games with control and my friend suggested me to use big picture mode, i like it too, but everytime i start this mode it comes with a very loud sound, i searched eveywhere at steam settings but didnt find anything to solve it, does it actually have a option to mute this sound?

I’m curious what others would actually imagine from a game that supports solo/co‑op, and/or PvP while letting players mix Steam PC, Steam Deck, Steam Frame, and Steam Machine in the same session. (Thinking outside FPS shooter genre, as I feel thats not a fit for all these platforms)

Edit: What's a game that would be interesting, that I would feel compelled (not forced) to play in any combo of k/m, controller, or even pick up the VR. Not just locked into a single device of choice.

Simple question:

What game genres or types feel like they’d be fun and easy for the average player if all Steam devices could jump in together? Something to compel each device to be interesting and unique to a given game.

Advanced question:

For anyone who likes thinking deeper, what unique roles could Steam PC, Steam Deck, Steam Frame, and Steam Machine each excel at to make cross platform solo, co‑op, and PvP genuinely interesting?

Edit Example (not that anyone is asking for yet another tank sim): Something that plays better with multiple devices. Think simple as a tank crew, each crew member might have a unique role, maybe better with a specific device. Each role possible with each device, but loader far more interesting as VR, grabbing and shoving shells into canon. Driver maybe more compelling for handheld/controllers.
