>>335833905
Neither does BattleNet. It's so ridiculous how hard it is to implement an invisible mode for these platforms.
>>335833926
same exact problem anon
I don't know what this guy wants. We played on a tf2 server a few times 2 years ago. I stopped playing tf2 and I haven't played a game with him in over a year. I think he's autistic.
Just fucking remove them if you dont want to talk to them.
Are people on this site really so spineless that they can't remove someone from their friends-list for fear of hurting their feelings
>>335833926
Why not just remove the ones that you don't want to talk to?
>>335834105
An invisible mode would go against the always on, always social intent of these chat networks though. Their answer to wanting to hide from people is "don't add people you want to hide from".
Which, admittedly, is a good bit of advice.

No, but I assume people have moments when they don't want to be bothered. Imagine playing a game for the first time and idiots keep spamming you asking how's the game going, is it worth it, memes XD!! This was my Dark Souls 3 experience and I did have to play offline. I still want to be kept online to chat with other people.

I have disabled message notifications entirely a while ago (sound, pop-up, and taskbar flashing)
Takes me a while to notice that someone messaged me sometimes, but most of the time they take half an hour to respond back anyway, so it's not that big of a deal
>>335831956
I have a couple of guys I play with on weekends, but we don't really have a set get together time. I usually get things kick started by messaging all of them and asking if they're interested in playing later (usually in around an hour or so) and then sit on mumble and wait until they come on. it gives everyone enough time to finish what they're doing and be ready to play with other people, or say they're busy and give a later time, or date. Is that weird since I'm always the guy who gets us away from single player games and onto mp?

My friends aren't dumb enough to do that, and I'm only friends with people I actually like. I hate it when you do good in a match or something and you get a bunch of friend requests, not like I'll ever wanna go through the trouble to play with someone I never noticed. Gets real annoying

I'm fine with that sometimes but honestly there's some days that this shit really annoys me and I hate how focused on online interactivity everything gets nowadays. I really miss just being able to install a game and play it right away without having to log in on some online DRM and instantly have people breathing down on your neck.

Not really, it just means I tend to play a lot ofRPGs and strategy games, mostly turn based. Brief pausing usually isn't an issue, only recent game where it mildly was was Dark Souls 3 and even then I was only invaded twice and that's the only time shit happens without you controlling it.

I know a guy like this, the weird thing is he only does it if it's a game he hates and he always goes through the same pattern with it. He always seems to assume that I'll think it's shit too, and when I say that I like it he'll start listing off all the things he doesn't like about it and expects me to agree, like I'm going go "You know what? You're right, this game IS shit!" and stop playing.
The weird thing is that he never gets angry about it, he just calmly, casually explains why the game is shit.

I've slowed down on my garbage buying dramatically (Skip most bundles now except for ones with games I genuinely want, skipping most games that just look vaguely interesting, etc) but the two biggest tips I can provide regarding Steam obesity are this.
#1: If you know the name of whatever you're looking for, you don't even need to click in to the search box. Just click in the library listing and start typing. It'll move the selected game to whatever you're typing up.
#2: If you want to keep being fat, install and uninstall games wildly. Load up some random garbage you've never played, play for half an hour and see what you think. If you wanna keep going, great, if not uninstall and move to the next. Both broadens your vidya horizons and occasionally you bump in to gems.

If you're that tired of getting greeted by that one friend whenever you start up a game, why don't you just remove them?
Honestly, you don't enjoy their company so why don't you just remove them from your friends list and keep the people that don't bug you?
Why is it so bothersome for people to message you once when you're playing vidya anyway? I despise social contact just as much as every anon on /v/ does, but easy-going conversations with other people on steam is fairly nice.or do you faggots secretly like getting messaged as soon as you boot up a game because you all crave attention

This. I removed former friends who I haven't spoken to in months once, they added me back after a week, we played a bit for a few days and now we haven't spoken in months again. I don't want to delete them again in case they try to add me again cause it'd be awkward.

I still don't fucking get this
>Offline doesn't let you even see your friends list to see who's online and who isn't
They wen't overboard with the meaning of the word. I just wanna LOOK LIKE I'm offline, not get denied access to my friends list until I go online.
How fucking hard is it to do that? Who the fuck coded this piece of shit? If I wanted to be offline, I wouldn't have logged on steam in the first place.

Why even bother having friends?
>>335831956
>launch a game on steam
>friend: 'hey'
>me:'sup, bro?'
I mean, seriously, what's the problem?
If it's singleplayer, it can wait, if it's multiplayer and already on, he can wait.
>>335833905
>Still doesn't record chat logs
Truly the stupidest program I have ever used.
>>335841031
>Never played more than a minute of it
YOU FUCKERMy batting average for /v/ gifting has been decent. I usually keep 'em on as a friend for a while out of curiosity to see if they ever play that shit, and since I gift stuff in random non-gift threads it usually weeds out the monsters like you.

Oh look, it's another episode of:

Shouldn't you be complaining to your psychiatrist because the Starbucks barista confused your soy milk late with a capuccino?
>>335841076
Yeah, its a pretty gay thing that we don't have invisible modes anymore
I used to have a background software I bought on steam run constantly, this allowed me to always display the same while playing whatever without anyone noticing.

Why did people link nonsteam games to steam? Does the overlay thing work on them if I do that? Why would anyone do that? I never used it because it sounds silly and needless on principle alone.
>Have 300 friends

help
At least the 20 I know have been pals for 5+ years
We might meet up some day

i dont understand
Why does it like some of you want (hey)'s when you launch a game? It's not like when you meet a person at the store, you are there all the time and a conversation is only a couple of taps on the keyboard away. It's not like launching a game validates talking to someone. Seriously, if i were to greet everyone that launched a game i would be stuck in conversation all the time, and i only have 20 something friends.
>friend I play the vidyer on and off with
>talk a few times every week, even if we may spend months not playing anything together
>going on for so long it's pretty much normal to talk almost daily
>haven't seen her online for 14 days
>>335841272
>Does the overlay thing work on them if I do that?
Yes. Which means shift-tabbing for chat and web browser which is nice if the game doesn't handle alt-tabbing well.
>>335839397
What actually happens is it sets you to offline in both the friends list and your profile. However, the times won't match up exactly, making it pretty obvious. This also happens when the servers restart every Tuesday though.
So for example if you go offline it might say Offline 1 min ago in your friends list but if they go to your profile it might say Offline 5 hours ago.

I had to delete my anti trump cuck friend
Made my bio "build a wall" and was pestered for weeks
>>335841426
>her
>>335841439
Cool, didn't know that.
I had a friend who as soon as I got on said hello 12x in 10 seconds and then asked me if I wanted to play with with him one word at a time
I guess he forgot what sentences were that day but I was receiving steam notifications in the corner for the next 50 seconds after he stopped typing
I tried to type it out in greentext but it was so bad that 4chan thought it was spam
>>335839397
and this exist https://www.steamid.co.uk/
>>335841272
Yes, the overlay works.
I like to use it to handle screenshots with steam, can reach chat in any game, sometimes to open wikis and shit in the steam browser without alt tabbing (mostly because that would often lead me to browse this shithole) and generally - I like displaying what I'm playing, maybe someone will get interested, or want to talk/ask about it, or play it himself.

c'mon man
Is this the SFT? I need people to talk to and play games with when my boyfriend gets off the PC.
I probably won't play Dota 2 with you if thats what you're looking for unless you're better than me because that game makes me a salt mine.

What actually worries me is that she already had one, so it only leaves the worst to be pictured out
>Hi
>Hello
And then nothing, this annoys me slightly. Why only say hi and then nothing after i respond, for what purpose did you initiate a conversation with me?
Theres this fucking guy in my group of friends who shows up once in a while.
so we jump on teamspeak and hes there with everyone else in the channel, so i hop down.
>everyone but him starts talking, they say hes afk
>we start playing a dota match
>as soon as we are in and start talking about the game he comes back.
>starts going off on whats good, what some streamer did, all this shit we dont care about while playing
>game ends, we ask him if he wants to join and play
>all quiet, but still logged into game, pretends to be afk until we start a new one then 'comes back' and does the same shit
like why, who the fuck talks about a game the whole time but then not want to play it.
>set status as away
>pretend you have a life
>Play a game
>Make a friend in it
>They add me
>Play with them a bit on the next day
>Play a bit less with them the day after
>Eventually get bored of the game after a week or two and move on to another one because I'm an ADHD-ridden depressed faggot
>Set status to offline so steam friend won't invite me to a game I don't wanna play, and I can't be assed to say "no" due to fear of making it look like I don't want to play with them rather than the game itself
>Friend eventually stops talking to me
>Friendless once again
Anybody else share this fucking curse?
>>335837684
Human shit.
>that guy who just sends you random pictures from /v/ every few months
>>335841692
i have a friend where the exchanges are literally just variations of "hi" for a few days until he feels like actually talking
i'm not sure why he messages me first if he doesn't want to hold a conversation even if i actively try to
>>335838748
alternatively

>>335841692
sometimes you just wanna say hi anon shit, it's like sayin "just lettin u kno i aint dead and you crossed my mind and that we still cool"
>>335841810
Your being afraid of bothering that faggot probably hurt him more in the long run, just man up.
>>335841786
>he bothers to change his status
Unless you are a girl, that's not how it works.
>decide to start chatting with I haven't talked to in ~3 years
>we get together and start playing a game

>>335838216
>Friends tells me to ask him to play X whether i want
>>335841810
I'm here bro.
I just want a big list of friends who do their own thing, and if I see them play something I would like to I could follow/join them.
If I play something its either just one game for weeks, or jumping around between shit every 10 minutes.

>No "hey" or "hi"Only people talk to me twice or thrice per week. They never say Hi or Hello. They directly send links with images or say something witty then our conversation begin. Even if we dont say a word for 1-2 hours we continue messaging each other like "hey mind if I stream <game> and you watch me play? I wonder what am doing wrong unsure if you can help me" or "btw have you played this or that game?"
>>335841981
I can see that he logs on, which should be enough. It's not like we are 14 year old little girls throwing hissy fits and getting angry at people we don't talk to.

>>335841991
I don't even play my steam games anymore because I've grown out of multiplayer games, the only one I play is singleplayer only. My concern is t them inviting me to play something regularly and I refuse everytime.
