TF2 was like a test run, sort of, for improving the UI and functionality of Steam itself

This is my 2nd account. I think I would have had an extra 3 or 4 years. I had thousands of hours in CS:S and GMOD I lost.

Prove you're not a degenerate that levels up steam account.

I honestly can't remember why I downloaded Steam. I thought it was for HL2, but according to Wikipedia it didn't come out until almost a year after I installed.

Maybe Team Fort Classic? Idunno. God I'm old. I need someone to help me with my ear hair.

I'm only 9 on Steam, but I remember when the UI was just flat black/grey and the functionality was reminiscent of an early 2000s online forum. I remember, too, it would ask if I had DSL, Cable, a 56K Modem, or something else regarding how I was connected every time I installed, and if I was at a friend's house with a borrowed laptop or something I'd have to ask his parents because none of my friends understood hardware at the time and I was a little anal faggot about it. How the times have changed.

jewish people have never done ANYTHING wrong and any proof posted there is schizo tier collages. Pure delusion

I remember DLing it in the 6th grade because I was in some honors math class in a rural backwoods town, and these two other fucking losers like me talked to me and told me to download Steam and play Alien Swarm with them and we could all hang out together. So I did that, and chugged along at all of 20FPS on my 2001 Dell Dimension, and eventually killed it from Alien Swarm. Good times. Idk why my account didn't count all of those years, though. Maybe because F2P.

Desu I own 198 games and TF2 is still far and away my most played game. I don't play it anymore because I bought it when it was $25 and desu I'm genuinely really sad that Valve is axing support so I've been apathetic about it. I should sell my Bill's and Buds before it dies so I can make money off of it.
If partyvan is going to be maintained though I'll probably hop on occasionally to make friends. Just sad because I've lived and died by TF2. Do you have a group that plays games or anything, any games in particular besides TF2?

This is an Epic Board, steamies. Move along

Should have died when my grandmother dragged me down the road with the car. Filthy cunt never cared for me.

> When did it stop being a burden and start being a boon?
after they finally fucking fixed green steam and then not long after they changed the ui. it still amazes me steam survived because god damn what a shitshow it was early on.

I had always thought I got steam when I bought the Counter Strike Anthology at Best Buy. But apparently that came out in 2005. So I have no clue why I made my account.

I installed on the day HL2 came out, Nov 16, 2004, so that is correct.

I got mine when I got some bundle with a GPU that gave me every Valve game that was out at the time (so pretty much everything they made in GoldSrc). Maybe you did something like that.
