Things you can change on Steam:
Your nickname
Your past names
Your URL

Things you can't change that no one will ever see that you shouldn't give a shit about / should never see because you auto login:
Your login name

Fuck, my account is so old that it isn't even a login name but a login email.

Not a single one of my passwords are like that. I don't know anyone else's though, to be honest.

I like to use the method described in that one xkcd comic: concatenate multiple common words to make a password.

You're a fucking moron. He's talking about his logon name thats permanently attached to the top right corner of your Steam client you stupid faggot.

The name you cant change, the one that you've got to type in every time you login to your account, the one that nobody else can see but yourself and you've got to live with that decision you made years ago.

Are you actually handicapped?

Not steam. The userbase. Even though there will be alot to say on valve but that's not the subject. PC in general is fine it's a great platform and up until 2008 it used to have a good community. Unfortunately reddit happened and now we have pic related.

>b-but it's not all the steam users!111

Unfortunately it's the 90% majority so might as well nuke the whole thing. I get better vibes from going to Miiverse, and that is filled with kids and pedophiles.

Been in the habit of this for years. Since I read Encyclopedia Dramatica years ago when it was big I have been terrified of any form of doxing, so I constantly scrub accounts, comments, profiles, pictures, etc.

The good news is my identity is pretty clean and monolithic.

And my shameful time on the internet is on forums that are long deleted and dead, and most likely did not find their way into some kind of archive. I hope. I desperately, desperately hope.
