Do you regret your Steam account name /v/?
>>713045157 (OP)yes it's an email address i no longer have access to (@xyz.edu the college I went to)
>>713045157 (OP)yes, its too long and complicated
Why would you regret a Steam name? Nobody can see it and your real display name can be changed at any time for free.
>>713045256>signing up with a college emailretard
>>713045357it was 2003 i didn't know any better
>>713045329>he doesn't look at his old XxX_superdragonslayah666_xXx account name and cringe soulless
Yes, I named myself "sparklespleen_xyz" and made my password "frungodungassA1", I'm so embarrassed!
>>713045256>>713045357do colleges remove your .edu email after graduating, i haven't used it ever since i used it to get the amazon prime discount
i also forgot how to long back into it
I have a different steam account for every game I buy so I can't be tracked.
>>713045480You usually get to keep it if you're a graduate.
>>713045157 (OP)no, it's silly and reminds me of plenty of good times. it has "b00b" in it and I wouldn't want it any other way.
>>713045460You can use your email to sign in too, if I'm correct. Either way I stay signed in on my account for years so I never have to see a login screen often. Fortunately mine isn't too cringeworthy or elaborate either.
Nobody is ever going to see it but you so who cares? My bigger concern is that I used to be a HUGE fucking troll to the point where my entire old name history is entirely known for being one of the biggest dickheads on the internet. I tried to change this as I got older and made myself a whole new name and identity but ever so often there has to be some stupid fucker who figures out my old name because of steamid history from third party websites and then I'm spending the next hour trying to explain why I said I hated women so much in my pastebin. Nigga I'm fucking married, my views as an 18 year old obviously do not reflect me in my 30's.
>>713045157 (OP)Nah, it's a pretty alright username and I can't say I have any real complaints about it. If I could change it I would, since it makes me sound a bit too weeby and I finally settled on a permanent online name instead of changing it all the time, but that's just a nitpick.

I got steam to change my name because my account name included my old boy name teehee :3
>>713045703What's the name lol
>>713045480My undergrad moves all alumni to .alumni.edu, but emails forward from the old .edu email so im not sure what the purpose of that is
>>713045157 (OP)why would i regret something nobody but me ever sees? and even then you only actually log in once per os install.
>>713045157 (OP)my steam account name is my first name and 4 random numbers
>>713045157 (OP)>snakeeyes420-24-7no, mine is still good
>>713045703Was your name 1488REDGUARDSLAYER42069?
>>713045157 (OP)It's my deadname
>>713045703Nobody cares dude. You don't sound like a wise family man. You can't possibly be that well known and the people that do know you are losers
>>713045157 (OP)no, it has my real name but not like anyone would ever know that
>>713045157 (OP)Yes
It's my cringe ass username I had back when I was a kid wanting to be a minecraft youtuber
>>713047527>I was le master trole in my teen years... Everybody remembers the name "SisterFister420">People just thought "What a retard" and immediately forgot about it when the game ended
>>713047804Who are you quoting?
Reminder that you can't ever change your username except if youre a tranny that cries about it being your deadname so hard that Gabe or Robin or whoevers in charge will capitulate and go against their staunch policy and change it just for you and no one else
>>713047849Read the thread retard
>>713045157 (OP)yea it's the lamest shit ever but at least it's not something worth giving a shit about to begin with
I'd change it if I could but no. No one can see it.
>>713047938Are you schizophrenic? Who were you quoting?
i deleted my steam account after stopping dota.
now the very sight of the login screen makes me sick.
wasting all those thousands of hours on that cancer.
>>713048026Don't cry because you were cringeworthy, smile because you were still happy.
>>713045157 (OP)no, I created this year'
>>713048086What do you do with your freedom nowadays?
>>713048072Use your whole brain for this anon, I believe in you
>>713045157 (OP)>>713045157 (OP)Yes, yes I do.
Look, in 2005, you could use your full legal name, and not a soul would care. They wouldn't dox you, they wouldn't report you, it was just "okay, neat" and life went on.
My god, times have changed.
>>713048182I believe that you should take your medication since you were quoting non-existent dialogue, no one was talking about the username "SisterFister420" except for you. No one said whatever you were quoting, except for you. Mayhaps you need the meds me thinks.
>>713048338How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?
>>713048387That is irrelevant to you making up dialogue, meds. Now.
>>713045357How was I supposed to know that the email address would get disabled?
Hindsight is 20/20, and don't pretend that you weren't naive too at 20.
>>713048104lol yea nah but like it's literally just a two digit number along with my name i kinda wonder sometimes why i was so uncreative with that one single username out of all the accounts i ever made
>>713045157 (OP)Yes because it's an anagram of my name and my ex from highschool that I thought I was going to marry.
Why the fuck did I join the military over her. Jesus Christ I regret it all the time.
>>713048715>Why the fuck did I join the military over herCould be worse. I bet you drive a sick ass car
>>713045157 (OP)nah. made it from my ps3 when i played portal2. it's just my psn_firstname+zipcode
>>713048148I sit on 4chan and think about dota.
>>713048148>What do you do with your freedom nowadays?>>713050298>I sit on 4chan and think about dota.lol this. I also play games that are not cancer. i also shitpost against steam and gabe because i hate that microtransaction obsessed cunt.
>>713045703i don't think you're entirely truthful to us anon
>>713045157 (OP)Yeah it's my real name.
>>713052601What's your real name?
>>713045157 (OP)the one nobody can see? why would I?
>>713048086that's very interesting anon
I hope you can stop being a 4chan posting retard next

>>713053257Robert Paulson
>>713052601Sup Faggot D. Slorper
>>713052090I don't know what you think I'm being dishonest about. I participated in many server raids and even the ONE moment I made the mistake of breaking my golden rule of never using social media I got doxxed and swatted in the same fucking week. Never again, I do not want to associated with that name anymore. I was the kind of person who even went to low hanging fruit sites like furaffinity and bullied low functioning autistics into trying to kill themselves. I have 36 active bans on just that shithole alone. I don't even think you begin to understand how much weaponized internet terrorism I've commited under that name. It was all fun and games until the 2nd person got groomed into a shooter and killed 12 people in a store in one of the servers I was in. You know Wayne Lambright? I helped idea's guy him into existence among many other lolcows.
>>713048590>and don't pretend that you weren't naive too at 20.how old are you anon?
>>713054104You have a gargantuanly inflated sense of self importance. I promise you literally no one on the internet has ever cared about your existance even a tenth as much as you imagine.
>>713048590My college literally warned me and sent warnings about it every week during my last semester. Regardless how are you practically a college graduate at that point and don't have a clue your .edu email isn't going to be around forever and that you should start to migrate accounts? Its just proof that going to college doesn't make a person intelligent.
>>713045157 (OP)Vaguely, not really. I remember when originally Valve said you'd eventually be able to change account names in their FAQ. Now it's like 20 years later.
>>713045802>Hero corruption arcfixed
>>713054368And yet the very last server I joined immediately started googling my name and investigating me. I'm glad they couldn't find anything but just a few months ago I was playing an online game and this dude was going around the whole lobby trying to bait people into raging and he managed to mention my dead name. He didn't find anything but it's the principle of the matter, I don't intent to go to jail because I convinced someone to kill themselves or shoot up a building.
>>713046302bullshit. steam won't let you change your login username. no way, no how.
you can actually get support to change it for you, but it's not a guarantee. you'll have to make up a good story and pray whoever reads your ticket is in a good mood. they'll ask for some credit card info or cd-keys from 20 years ago if you've used them to prove that it's really you using the account
>>713054368>says he got swatted in the same week he stopped being completely anonymous>hmm nobody cares about yaYeah this post glows so fucking hard, do a flip.
>>713054602I did the same as this anon
>>713046302 told them I legally changed my name, and they basicaly told me to go fuck myself and there's nothing they can do. I tried again months later and they said the same thing. it's a coin flip
>>713045157 (OP)>early 2010's slangyep
>>713054562I can only imagine how utterly irrelevant you are in real life to be this delusional about yourself on the internet lmao.
>>713054562>And yet the very last server I joined immediately started googling my name and investigating me.what kind of retarded servers do you join where people are so terminally online and obsessed that they google the users that join?
honestly if you hang around people like that you deserve it
no
its a simple name with a number tacked on
doesnt matter either way cuz you can just change it anytime you want
>>713054732I don't need to be relevant retard, I think this poster put it best, and there's nothing else to be said. You should just kill yourself for even suggesting such worthless commentary.
>>713054628Straight up the same godanm week I used facebook for the first time, and you wanna sit there and tell me I shouldn't care. Tell me where you live and let me send a swat team to your house and lets see how well you carry that same confidence fucking retard.
I only regret it in the sense that it's the username I still use on everything, so technically someone just have to guess my password
>>713054909I didn't tell you you shouldn't care, I told you you're a delusional retarded who no one else cares about. Your reading comprehension is very unsurprising since delusional sense of self importance and narcissism/grandiocity goes hand in hand with low IQ.
>>713045157 (OP)I kind of do, even if I can change my username, I really wish I could change my account name too. I've been seriously considering creating a new account since I also want to create a new personal account to entirely ditch gmail, and the games I own are mostly old stuff I got from Humble Bundles from almost 10 years ago because I only recently built a proper PC after years of not having a good machine, so I haven't bought anything recent.
>>713054909you're ridiculous anon, no one gives a single shit about you you pathetic schizo
>>713055164You're trying to tell me nobody cares when I thought the same thing and then got once again, swatted the MOMENT I broke my golden rule. You cannot refute this therefore you're a retarded kike and should kill yourself. You glow like the sun and you should fucking leave and or stop posting. Nothing else is relevant to this discussion, I do not want attention to myself.
>>713055391HOW THE FUCK IS GETTING SWATTED RIDICULOUS YOU FUCKING MOUTH BREATHING GODANM TURD? HOLY FUCK YOU ARE MOST DEFINITELY A SAMEFAG.
>>713045157 (OP)12 years or some shit never changed it never made a nickname or anything. picked the perfect profile pic and never even changed a border for my profile. shit wait I think I did get a profile outline when i got my ick eck. whatever don't count I make good decisions instead of doing gay shit for the meme.
>>713055438Yeah I'm sure that really happened lmao
>>713055528Yes it fucking happened, fuck you. I seriously hope everything in life you love is raped and destroyed for daring to try to fucking take my life circumstances and say they're made up. I wish I could punch you through my fucking monitor. Total jew death. Total nigger death.
>>713045460> XxX_superdragonslayah666_xXx> cringebut that's not cringe at all anon, that's quite good
>>713045157 (OP)I don't have steam, drone
>>713055492with the way you type you're probably retarded enough to have clicked some ip grabber link from someone trolling you, or worse, you're some actual lolcow and there's a thread about you on kiwifarms.
delusional fuck, please keep posting so I can keep laughing at you
>>713055579And then everybody clapped
>>713055610You're dumb as fuck, I'm leaving the thread, this doesn't make you right at all. You're the worst type of piece of shit ever and I hope you rot in hell.

>>713053257Dick Trickle Jr.
My dad drove race cars
my first email ever, on msn
yeah but to be fair it literally wasn't even one I chose. when we were 15 my brother bought portal standalone and made an account to play it, fast forward a year or two and I figured I'd just borrow his to play TF2. And then I basically completely took it away from him since he never used it anyway. So my login name is whatever cringe username *he* thought was cool in 2007, I can't even take the blame for it.
>>713045157 (OP)Iโve used C0ld5t33L and had this as my pfp since I was 18. I donโt plan on ever changing it
My steam account name and my handle are not the same.
>>713045157 (OP)Read that as โdo you rememberโ. I do not
>>713056125Just because it's not your fault doesn't meant it's not your responsibility.
>>713045157 (OP)it's cringe ass chuuni 12 year old username plus my postal code because I remember asking my friend what to do since my name was already taken and he told me to do that. I really fucking wish I could change that part at the very least.
>>713045157 (OP)Nope, my account name is the best, and it's the same as my Hotmail email address.
>>713054562>>713054909>>713055492>>713055752Take notes, newfriends, this is how you bait people.

Actually that would make me doubt the "never taken" part.
>>713058212Nobody cares fag nobody is revealing their username to you or anyone else and I'm not going to jail for any of the evil shit I've done to deserve it. You glow like a fag and you should kill yourself.

>think it would be funny if my display name was your_ghey
>it has no impact on display name

>>713058810>I'm not going to jail for any of the evil shit I've done to deserve it>You glow like a fag and you should kill yourselfThat's where you're wrong buddy, I'm reporting you to the cyber police for saying that

>>713060760You're silly as fuck if you think anyone is going to take that seriously. I'm gonna go gaslight some random furries to kill themselves on discord via dm's out of boredom and you're gonna seethe about it.
>>713061001its especially funny when you pretend to be one of them and work your way into their inner circle after months of pretending only wait for a critical moment in their life after starting to emotionally rely on you and then pull the rug and convince them they need to die. Best reactions ever I'm telling you.
>>713045157 (OP)back in 2007 i saw going by a nom de plume on the internet as i was writing a blog under my real name, and didn't want any of my cool gamer friends to know i was a paid blogger.
but because i was like 15 at the time my idea of a good pen name was just a name with the same initials, but cooler, so i ended up with a name that was basically "Max Powers" or "Action Joe"
i regret it constantly, because in the years since then i've discovered that multiple gay porn actors have started using that name, even had one reach out for the twitter handle during covid.
so, in order to avoid the embarrassment of people finding out i was paid for posting arts and crafts on the internet, i forever branded my steam with a gay pornstar name, and im stuck with it.
>>713061146furfag or tranny, calling it. You do realize this is chud pro raiding website right?
>>713061161Laughed. Did you at least make a few bucks off the Xitter handle?
>>713061230Now you're getting it.
Considering I was 10 years old when I got the Orange Box and had no clue what Steam was when making the account I don't hate it.
I had the TV on and some stupid infomercial was playing so I named the account the name of the product so I could get to playing Half Life 2 and Portal quicker.
Too much dicksucking and worshipping going on for a company too inept to allow users to change username.
Doesn't steam donate to the democrats? You'd think they would support the 2SLGBTMAPQOS+ community by saying "hey, no need to look at your dead name, here change your username" but no.
>>713045157 (OP)I chose something stupid but people still have a laugh upon seeing it. So i don't know, not really. I only regret not giving myself a more edgy name like i did with my EA account.
Imagine typing to sign in.
>same name and profile pic for the last 16 years
Nah
>>713061390This nigga named Shamwow69.
>>713045480Every year I have to take five seconds to click a link on my university's website to make sure my college email doesn't die. For like seven years after I graduated, I got free unlimited Google Drive storage. Then they cracked down last year, so it's essentially useless.
>>713045157 (OP)My first account? No issues. My second, Argentinan account, especially now that the currency exchange issue was just patched in favor of BTFO'ing the people in those much poorer countries? Yes. I should've asked the Argentinian to make me an account without a girl's name.
>>713045703So why not allow users to change it? Why would a a company that donates to the DNC every election not be pro-LGBT and let trans people not have to deal with their deadname?
>>713045157 (OP)you can change your display name, retards
>>713061979Are you trying to farm for (You)s or are you that challenged?
>>713061979They're whining about getting emails when they buy games that reference their original username.
>>713062035>>713062049nobody but you can see it, why would it matter?
>>713062371Because I can see it. Why are you defending Steam's incompetence to not allow users to change their fucking login in 2025?
>>713061979>you can change your display nameBut I don't like how I need to use my deadname every time I log into Steam. It triggers my gender dysphoria, y'know.
>>713045157 (OP)I actually don't even though it's peak early 2010's cringe
>>713062657get some new material
>>713062735Honest question. You appear to be left wing. That shitpost's point aside, why exactly isn't one of the top DNC donor companies in Steam letting its trans users change their login, when more than half of its employees would probably tell you themselves it's harmful?
>>713062881I am not going to read your post. Sorry.
>>713045157 (OP)i only regret that a friend made the account for me because i was too young then and now i have no idea which e-mail was initially used or what the half life/cs1.6 product keys are that were used to create the account. now every time i have a support ticket i canโt do shit because they want those information from me otherwise they tell me that i canโt actually verify myself as the owner of the account without those information
>>713063234Well you aren't the owner so what's the problem?
>>713063170You already read it. Keep sucking Valve's cock, when they're literally too incompetent to inplement a basic feature. Maybe they should stop wasting money on political donations and pay some college kid to fix their dogshit service.
>>713063319You are obviously very angry at someone but I don't understand why I am on the receiving end of this autism.
>>713045157 (OP)My Steam name is a portmanteau of my first name and "autism." No one sees it anyway, lmao.
>>713063170>Trans rights are human rights!!!>But leave Mr. Goldstein and his company out of this, stop noticing you stupid chud!!!!You will never get your foreskin back btw
>>713063304well i know what you mean but it was a gift and as a dumb kid i would have never thought of asking for the keys because everything was working fine and i could play. now i have absolutely no contact with that guy. lol
>>713061091I think the peak out of all the furfag trolling I ever did was convince this tranny into gaining over 300 pounds because I said I was into it and then convinced them to kill themselves when their health started failing. Godanm I wish I could relive those precious years of abuse.
>>713063416You're clearly upset enough to reply. Did mocking daddy Valve for its incompetence make you upset? Find a better company to dickride.
Not allowing to change your username in 2025 is criminal inpetitude. There is no debate. I'm so tired of /v/ subhumans excusing this.
>>713063637>You're clearly upset enough to replylol
>>713061289nah, dude didn't offer money or anything, just did the classic "hey im a business that uses this name, can i have it please, you can rebrand as something else, by the way a bunch of people are trying to contact me using your handle, so don't be a shithead to people randomly posting their assholes at you, i asked them to do that before i realised someone else had this name"
classic small business things.
>>713045703>le trolls remorseNever got this shit. I'm in my 30s and all the fags I bullied when I was a teen deserved it.
>>713045157 (OP)I regret steam, Gabe is a bloodsucking vampire, why can't I use the community market as often as I want unless I hook up a smartphone app to get my data?

>>713045256Same, but an ISP e-mail address that I lost access to after switching to another ISP. I don't remember ever even getting to choose an account name, I think it just automatically used the e-mail address you signed up with as account name back then.
I did eventually switch back to that ISP and recreated that e-mail address.
>>713065573You probably could've got something if you bartered with him over it, people pay a lot for shit like that sometimes, it's kind of a dick move for him to approach it like that imo

i regret a lot of things like that, such as my runescape login name. not only is it extremely cringe but i spelled it incorrectly and i'm reminded of how retarded i am every time i go to play runescape again. even randomly when i'm doing literally anything else my login name pops into my head and i wince a little

(asterisk used to censor numbers)
I made it when I was 11 years old in 2005, and in the early steam days you had to use your actual steam account name if you wanted to add someone to your friends list and couldnt change your nickname.
Its embarassing now but atleast you can change your name to whatever you want now.
I've been using steam since L4D2 came out and I literally never changed my login password
>>713045460At 14 years old I somehow had the foresight to not write something cringe, so I don't have to cringe looking at it.
>>713048715You joined the military for a woman? Why in gods name would you ever do that?
>>713071668>It's embarrassing No. That's peak.
>>713047259Your profile name can be anything silly goose.
>>713048137give the code nigger
>>713067317>try to jew people>blockedbased
Yeah, but what 15-year old doesn't make a few dumb decisions? Whatever. 21 years later, it only causes me to cringe infrequently.
>>713069187Damn we have an OG here.
Yeah, it's a nickname I had when I was a sonicfag in the mid 2000s. But at least nobody can see it.
IIRC I think they cannot change it because the account system has been messed up for generations.

>>713045157 (OP)Nah. I used a really old thing me and my buddy used to joke about all the time when we were young and now whenever I see it, it reminds me of the good ol' days. Now my Xbox gamertag? That's the real cringe of my youth.

>>713058212it's bad bait. i wasn't seething. just annoyed and kinda disgusted as one usually is when encountering a narcissist. you could say i fell for it when i replied but telling someone off feels good, i didn't waste much time typing and i don't care about the board quality. sometimes i forget what board i'm even on because i rarely if ever engage with the board topic. and that's a good thing!

>>713078856Ok, xX_Krillin420_Xx.
>>713045157 (OP)I made my email in 2002 (was 7 yo) with a fun nickname. Then in 2011 when creating Steam account, I thought the email nickname was cringe so I chose another random name. About a year later, I realized that nah, the original nickname was based and the steam name is actually cringe. Now I still use the original email for everything including "official business", but I cringe every time I log into steam.
