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.

"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.

Me too...LOVE ME

[–]ButtonJoe 0 points1 point ago

I added all mine through the facebook link, but I dont remember what their real names are.

[–]ddhboy 5 points6 points ago

Try having earbuds in TF2. Every day is 5 more friend requests and random IMs about selling them for games.

[–]Toast-toast 1 point2 points ago

I have this Unusual Milkman (heart affect) that I unboxed a little over a year ago... and the invites wont let up T_T so I feel ya, haha.

I have about 300invites sitting on my account right now

[–]AshFallenAngel 0 points1 point ago

When I'm added on someones friends list it's because I constantly compliment how manly/sophisticated they look with their hats/accessories.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

the white apple ones? i have them and never play tf2, what are they worth?

[–]redstar499 1 point2 points ago

in USD around 36$

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

holy moly, i loaded tf2 on 2 other imacs at work too, thanks gaben/jobs!

[–]banditandrew 5 points6 points ago

The sad part is I go through all 50 of their alias's and I still have no idea who they are. STOP CHANGING YOUR NAME EVERY 5 MINS!!!

[–]Laue 2 points3 points ago

This is my League of Legends friendlist.

WHO THE FUCK ARE THOSE GUYS?

[–]zanhoshi 0 points1 point ago

Yes, so much this. After a while I pared it down to people I know in real life. It's a lot easier to know who's who with only two names on the list!

[–]fullmetalraz 2 points3 points ago

I have 70 friends on steam, I don't even remember adding or accepting that many people.

[–]BrickLaner 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I don't recall accepting friend requests from the people on my buddy list. I have poor memory.

[–]MasterofStickpplz 6 points7 points ago

I just hate it when they feel the need to change their names every few hours

[–]Spooniator 2 points3 points ago

Click the down-arrow next to their names -> View aliases

[–]MasterofStickpplz 3 points4 points ago

yeah, I know but this doesn't stop my mind from going "who the hell is this" so I normally use their profile pictures (which don't seem to change as often)

[–]Skarablood 1 point2 points ago

THIS! I mean, it sure is nice to have the possibility to change your name freely, but why every day?! I sometimes add people after playing Dota2 with them because they are nice to play with, but some change their names and icons every few days. I have no clue who is who anymore. :[

[–]samout 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I just had a friend according to Steam called TheGarbageDriver, then suddenly he turned into TheBlackSomethingOrOther the next day, then it was something like "BooBooBoo". God damnit that's annoying.

Pretty much this.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

more like facebook friendlist.

[–]Poraro 0 points1 point ago*

Then remove them or start a conversation up with the ones you'll feel you'll get on with.

You might become good friends with one of them if you do that.

[–]Scuttlebuttz93 0 points1 point ago

I only have one steam friend. Foreveralone :(

[–]Bigmada 0 points1 point ago

I don't the same thing on Facebook ... with family.

[–]TheDietTaco 0 points1 point ago

I removed all the people I didn't know and just kept my real life friends. So much better now with no random notifications.

But all I know is that most of them are probably all from Left 4 Dead.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I have no idea who more than half of the people on my friends list are, especially since some think they have to change their name every second day.

[–]SuperTurtle 0 points1 point ago

The best I can do is make a category for each person entitled with their name when I first add them to my friends list, they really just need to allow us to add their real name next to their alias

[–]RaichuLover[S] 0 points1 point ago

I totally stole this image and joke directly off of /v/ lol

[–]Squa7ch -1 points0 points ago

This is why I cleaned up my friends list and now have like 4-5 people, all family members I actually know and talk to lol
