Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Haha this is me! I got a 1.5TB drive JUST for Steam a few months ago. Last I checked it had 550GB free. I was looking at 2TB or 3TB drives as well but I couldn't justify the cost to myself, oh well.

I'd advise you to wait a few months, since a flood in Thailand basically doubled the cost of all the hard drives :(

No worries, I got the drive a month or two before that happened. :)

Lucky! My 1TB drive is having some problems, so I'm using my awful 200 gig hard drive that's six times older. It hurts.

Clicked the link expecting that scene, did not leave disappointed.

I fully expected a "Download all the things!" image, but pleasantly surprised.

AAAAAAWWWWWWW YYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH! I know how you feel, since last Christmas my PC collection of games has increased dramatically. And with the power of my new 2 TB I've been backing up all of my data so I'll never have to worry about downloading my games ever again. The folder itself is up to 302 GB and climbing

Now, I just install all the Steam games I buy even if I don't plan to play them any time soon.

Now I only have 400GB left.

I got money , internet speed and hard drive space (for now) this is how I feel

500GB drive is quite full. Need TB or bigger now, already have 2TB for everything else. Have 122 games, play like 1-3. Damnit. But I'll hopefully never be bored. Ever.

One SSD for the OS, two 1TB HDDs, and one more SSD for my most played game, which as of now BF3. I'm considering getting yet another SSD for Skyrim but I'm not too willing to spend another 250 large just for convenience.

60 and 64gb SSDs are like a hundred bucks nowadays. You can find a 40gb on a good sale for something like 60 or 70.

Mine are a few years old, I didn't know. Guess it's time to dust off the old tower and shove more shit into it.

How much does having the OS on an SSD help with lag on non-SSD games?

[–]terroristteddy 0 points1 point ago

It's not the lag it's the start-up. My computer boots Windows in about 10 seconds. Same for games, it's just about the speed.
