Thanks Gaben, very cool

>>718394253 (OP)
O yeah? But does it bloat your rig with chinkware?

i opened my computer today and the fans were being absurdly loud for no reason so i checked task manager and epic games was using like 30 percent of my shitty laptop cpu from just running in the background. Closed it and instantly back to normal. Fucking timmy

as if steam is any better?? steam is bloatware at this point.

>>718395582
Fucker.

>>718394253 (OP)
Thanks Gumbus.

whats the point of the steam client
why not just have the website with downloads

>>718394253 (OP)
>steam monitoring your pc
Gabe always did

>>718395806
Steam is bloated Electron shit, but it doesn't make the fans go crazy on my crappy computer.

why do zoomers have to work so hard to vilify Gabe and Steam? Watching them perform mental gymnastics and shill constantly non-stop every day is getting a tad irritating. It's almost like this is an actual job that they are getting paid for.

>>718394971
>Doesn't work in Vermintide 2
Gee, I wonder why...

>>718398045
steamies and tendies are notorious fanboys

What does it do? Just monitors your GPU usage?

>>718398487
RAM, CPU and GPU usage, GPU temperature, #soon CPU temperature too, real and fake fps (dlss), minimum and max fps and a lil graphic to show frame drops

>>718399324
This will probably cause issues with modern nvidia drivers (latency above 20 ms).

>>718395806
is this some dual core or some shit

>>718398301
steam has yet to sin against its customers to the extent console corpos do

>>718400690
dont worry im sure valve will apply a flat -150ms input latency modifier to whatever their counter displays after getting some gifts from nvidia

>>718400794
no, you are just too young/have the memory of a goldfish
https://valvetruth.blogspot.com/2023/04/after-watching-platform-of-steam-and.html

>>718394353
I hope so

>>718401049
steam will try to offload itself onto inactive cores and the only way i can see it doing this is if you're actively downloading shit or have a poverty cpu
if it was actually actively bloating shit then a 9800x3d would be considerably slower than a 9950x3d because the passive tasks couldn't get dumped into the regular ccd

>>718401159
console corpos do all of that and more

>>718396154
the way steam was sold to people back then was that it would basically manage valve games like update them, server browser etc. that is the public purpose of steam at least, the real purpose of steam was to draw as much people to its ecosystem through steam sales and gain monopoly on pc gaming

Do you think Gabe pays petite Asian women to wipe his massive fat ass after every shit

>>718395806
I think your steam might be malware. Mine is at 0-0.2% CPU and 175 MB on ram.

fat rich people are basically jews on stereoids
they can not be trusted in any way and are always malicious
i'm not even joking, they must be purged on sight

>>718401159
>no, you are just too young/have the memory of a goldfish
You're too young to remember Gabe saved the PC gaming market from the worst DRM imaginable when triple A developers had an extreme reaction to piracy of their games.
PC gaming would not exist without steam, and shills working for Epic are just upset they're not getting a piece of their pie. Make a better service that can compete, and stop trying to slander competitors to try bring them lower than you with shitty crabs in a bucket mentality. Honestly every time I see an epic shill it reminds me how shitty they are. Your efforts just continuously shoot yourself in the foot, and I'm tired of it. Either do better or shut the F up

>>718401989
>Gabe saved the PC gaming
This is basically the "le holocaust" lie of pc gaming
same bullshit lie repeated over and over by retarded fanboys and shills

>>718395806
It's actually worse. If you don't use a cucked task manager it'll actually tell you it uses like 20 GB of shared RAM because of all the pictures and icons and videos it has to load in and out of the ram and swap file

>>718401989
>>718402070
continuing you are obviously dishonest considering you are unironically saying "le compete" against a fucking monopoly and you know fully well this has nothing to do with muh service. steam is just a middle jew taking all the money.

>>718402451
it has to end somehow
so how would you like to end
because in the end you know damn well we're either getting a bloated competition on mediocrity between ea, ubisoft, microsoft, rockstar etc or someone completely dominating and calling all the shots like consoles
steam is unironically the best case scenario

>>718403467
Why do I have to settle for the le "good" jew when I can instead not do that? Don't fucking show mercy to any one. Steam is enemy just like the rest.

>>718403605
you don't have a choice
it's either this bloated competition or someone being a big shot
a fractured and insular power vacuum isn't realistic
stop making excuses, tell us about your utopian idea for the pc gaming landscape and i'll tell you why you're foolish to expect it

cool

>>718394253 (OP)
20 years later and now they finally think to implement the most basic shit to their system?

>>718399324
dlss is an upscaler. it is not fake frames.
frame generation is the ai hallucinated fake frames.

>>718402247
>"le compete"
that's right timmy, do it. If you're serious about steam's 30% being unfair, charge your 12% and sell your games for 18% less than steam. Oh wait, you already give away a bunch of games, and STILL nobody wants to use epic because all of the chink money in the world won't make people like an inherently shitty product.

>>718403605
>Why do I have to settle for the le "good" jew
You don't. You can use GoG, you can pirate, you can buy directly from devs, you have plenty of options. You don't want those, you just want some other competitor of Steam to take over because they're paying you a few rubles to shill them. Eat shit ranjeet.

>>718404616
IIRC Darktide doesn't have anti-cheat

>>718404825
best take I heard about epic's free games was that steam was from the beginning built to compete with free games (can't get more free than piracy) so epic's strategy was retarded

god I fucking hate his new ghoulish, skinsuit look. go back to looking like fat, less-dead Robin Williams

>>718401740
>175 MB on ram.
Literally impossible. Electron base uses 400MB+ alone. You're probably looking at just one steam process.

>>718397612
Da fuq? Electron is way newer than Steam, why did they switch? Or did you just cheekily use it as metaphor

>>718407032
People get old, and soon the world you knew will be gone

>>718402370
You know what more have kernel access? hwinfo64 and msi afterburner

>>718407536
because electron makes it easy for them to develop cross-platform
why bother making a native UI for every client when you can be cheap

>>718407791
You can be old AND fat.

>>718396154
Yes, anon, I'm sure nobody ever uses Steam for anything that couldn't be solved by
>opening a web browser
>typing in the URL
>navigating to the game you want
>downloading the game
>downloading all required updates
>downloading all the DLC
>running and clicking installesr for all of the above
>finding your old saved games
>find the correct folder to put your saved games into

And now it's finally time to play your game
Just don't forget to check back every so often on that website for new updates

>>718401309
>steam will try to offload itself onto inactive cores
That's not how it works. Software can't just "offload itself"; only the OS/kernel can do that.

>>718397612
The Steam GUI is indeed kinda crappy, but there is a lot more to steam than that.

>>718408836
I'm a coder as well, and if I had written his post I'd have used that as a shorthand for "sends a signal requesting being offloaded", which I don't know if it's possible.

>>718408836
the point is that schedulers won't let steam get in the way of latency sensitive prioritised tasks
you'd have to go down to a quad/dual core to have a chance of steam impacting your performance

>>718407536
They switched to it for the latest UI from like 2019.

>>718394253 (OP)
It requires kernel access, Steamies. GOG performance overlay doesn't require that for the hundreds of thousands of games available on GOG, the most successful game store ever where you own your games.

>>718407063
NTA, mine's at 280MB.

>>718396154
GOG and itch.io exist anon
>>718410434
>the most successful game store ever
God I wish GOG was more popular

>>718395806
I can only imagine how shitty your computer is.

>>718407032
It's fake you retard holy shit

>>718402451
It did die and Steam is what rose up

>>718411617
ok now open your friend list and/or a steam group chat and watch this number skyrocket lol
I can also close everything steam related and then pretend hurr steam is so light guys praise gaben the genius he's literally stallman!

uhhhhhhhhhh task manager bros?????

>>718402070
But he did. I remember the before times
It was horrible.
You went to a store, bought a fucking Ubi or EA big box release, it came in 20 fucking CDs even though DVDs were a thing already
Installed the damn thing, hoping none of the disks were bad, or if the shitty installer would bug out. Put the fucking stupid ass key that you hopped a nigger employee didn't nick it in the store before they sold the box to you. And if you were doing this BEFORE 2007 you didn't have to sign up to a bunch of retarded shit with the publisher
Or even worse late 80s to mid 90s keys being "LOL GO READ PAGE WHATEVER OF THE MANUAL AND USE THE SUPER DOOPER BRITTLE AS FUCK PLASTIC LENSES TO SOLVE A RIDDLE SO WE CAN VALIDATE THIS INSTALLATION THAT IS ALSO ONLY VALID FOR THIS COMPUTER ONLY"

Steam was a god send, even the clunky as fuck first versions were better than the competition

>>718411749
>gabe's company website hosts his own fake image

I'm not accepting any other form of apology: you have to kill yourself.

>>718396154
because it shortens a 5 minute process down to 30 seconds

do you niggas even have soul

>>718411617
>steam is still 32bit on windows
When will they update. It is already 64bit on Mac, you would think with the proliferation of ARM64 CPUs would make them update the client already

>>718412593
use case?

>>718408608
>You can be old AND fat.
Grok?
>Obesity significantly impacts life expectancy, but exact odds depend on many factors like age, sex, genetics, lifestyle, and specific health conditions. Studies suggest obesity (BMI ≥ 30) can reduce life expectancy by 5-10 years on average, with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40) potentially cutting 10-15 years. For a 30-year-old with obesity, the chance of reaching 60 is roughly 60-70% compared to 80-90% for someone with a healthy BMI (18.5-24.9), assuming no major interventions or changes. Risks like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer increase with obesity, but quitting smoking, exercising, and improving diet can mitigate these.

>>718412832
Will work better on ARM cpus and once MS finally drops 32 for god the client will still work

>>718412871
you can be OLD and FAT and still die, yes

>>718395806
probably because you opened 9 hardware accelerated steam windows

>>718396154
And make accounts for every time I want to buy a game from a dev no thankies

>>718411909
the point is that my steam was using the same amount of resources, but it's 0% of my cpu usage compared to your 33%. that's embarassing bro.

>>718394253 (OP)
rip mangohud

>>718412593
probably after W10 support ends, since I'm pretty sure W11 is 64-bit exclusive.

>>718415706
11 can run 32-bit binaries. Steam's main executable will likely still be 32-bit for as long as forseeably possible to cut memory usage.

>>718415970
I meant the OS, pretty sure there is no 32-bit Windows 11.

>>718394253 (OP)
nice booting up my linux box

>>718416447
Yeah, but the statement was about Steam being 32-bit on Windows, which will likely remain the case until well after our deaths (since moving from 64-bit to larger address spaces on the desktop is off by likely a century or more).

>built-in web browser
>instant messaging
>social network

>task manager
Why is Steam so fucking bloated? It should have a search for a text list of games and two buttons: buy and download. Buy changes to refund if you already own it.

>>718417031
>literally the only client where you can browse your own library without using a web browser
>bloated because it uses 800MB of your 4GB

>>718417185
are you retarded?
steam is a web browser

>>718394253 (OP)
task manager is dogshit, I should fucking hope so

>>718418073
Are you retarded? Steam has a web browser in it, but it's not solely a web browser. Look at small mode.
Every other client requires you to browse web pages to navigate your library. Small mode doesn't.

>>718412185
Where the fuck do you live to where 200GB is downloaded in five minutes?

>>718394353
Steam is like 8 chromium processes that occupy upwards of 1 gig of ram at all times and probably maxing out your cpu at other times mining Gaben$ and telemetry. All just to launch a game. Its the definition of bloatware.

>>718419307
can you bring up one example of steam choking a cpu to the point where it impacts benchmarks or it using 1gb of ram during actual use while playing games?

>>718419253
This is 4chan. We speak in hyperbole. The other side of the argument would be
>takes 7 days to download
>can't install any other games because 200GB games are designed to fill up my drive
>long load times on my ultrafast 5400rpm HDD
Honestly, I think this is the biggest game I own, and it's not an obscene install time.

>>718412832
indows cant run 32 bit programs on the 64 bit version, unlike linux. It's like running everything on wine

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64

>>718412249
He wrote the one that was in like Windows 2000, they majorly changed it in Windows 8, there probably isn't any of his stuff left in there anymore

>>718419253
anywhere that offers 1gb/s internet?

>>718396154
steam is a whole software suite not just a chrome launcher

>>718394253 (OP)
Is SteamOS good yet, I'm not using Windows 11.

>>718398205
>Kernel level for a fucking PVE game
Don't talk to me about that dogshit "PVP" mode. The fucking game was designed around PVE, tacking on that bullshit after the fact is never going to work

>>718422438
Yes but only if you have AMD GPU. That's the whole theme with Linux if you have Nvidia you may as well eat shit.
