Yup, it's gaming time.

>>720305770 (OP)
i don't use steam. can someone explain?

>>720305891
explain what? it clearly says what it does. been standard thing in ims for maybe decades at this point

>>720305891
on steam you can go invisible which makes it look like you are offline to your friends. useful when you don't want to socialize.

>>720306054
>>720306084
lmao do steamcels really

>>720305770 (OP)
True.

>>720305770 (OP)
Why does this enrage browns so much?

why don't just unfriend anyone who you don't want to see you online?

>>720305770 (OP)
>friends: 0

>>720306197
huh?

>>720306580
because the "friends" I have are also friends with my friends so I don't want to make things more awkward than they already are.

>>720306084
just don't reply? what's the huge deal, are you guys retarded

>>720306409
All of this but I'm a sex/porn addict and am trying to gamble my issues with my first real gf

Invisible status is schizo territory. You don't want want to interact with the friends system then you go offline and play your games on your own.
You having your one-way relationship with the system and having everything on your terms is fucking weird.

>hey dude, let me buy you this crappy game that is on sale for $5 so we can play together!!!
Um, thanks, but don't waste your money. We can play another game together that we actually want to play and you don't have to buy it for me.
>but it is only $5?!?!?!
Yeah, but we're never going to play it. Save your money.
>Dude I am offering to get you a game!!!

And that is when I stopped adding people to my friend's list.

>>720306409
How does one overcome this?

bitchboy

>>720305770 (OP)
I still remember one day when I did this and my friend sent me a message calling me out on my play hours increasing.

>>720306409
I think I'm schizoid

>>720307107
go fully offline then
say that you want to play some stuff on your own with no distraction
invisible mode is for control freaks

What do you guys play where you find all these toxic personalities? In all the years I’ve been playing on Steam I’ve never gotten a friend harassing me every time I go online. Hell, I only have two friends and one of them doesn’t talk to me anymore and the other doesn’t play vidya anymore. Where do you guys keep finding these people? And yes I do play online games, more so than singleplayer games in fact

The only game I have ever enjoyed playing with my friends is Left 4 Dead 2.

>>720307363
They make shit up to feel interesting online.

fyi going invisible after being online sets your "last online" time to whenever your last actual log in was. Everyone will know you're still around because you'll appear as "last online: 6 hours ago" despite going invisible for less than a minute.

You need to go offline first, then select invisible.

Why?

She just like me fr

Are you me?

>>720306084
I just dont want them to know how much time I ACTUALLY spend playing games its embarrassing and an addiction im not willing to face just yet

>>720307507
I can't tell if this is a 20yo newfag to the internet post or a genuine shut-in 30yo that just got online 2 years ago.

>>720306409
that picture is unrealistic, women like that don't exist

>>720307497
well damn i didn't think about that. thanks professor akko.

>>720307497
Actually hilarious to me. I never shut down my PC so invisible cunts sometimes show up instantly from "last online : 3 days ago" to "last online: 7hrs ago" and it keeps swapping lol

I don' have any friends, I just keep it offline

How do I get used to being lonely? Like, what do you guys do to be at peace with loneliness? I tried making friends online but finding out 90% of people have terrible social skills simply tires me.
Maybe i'm just too much.

>>720307765
30, been on Steam for over a decade, still don't understand why it has a shoehorned social media feature.

>>720308072
you sound like a failed normalfag. You're only lonely because you are trying to make friends with socially retarded vidya nerds and not outgoing normalfags like yourself.

>my old highschool friends I semi reconnected with keep trying to invite me to play games on steam
>whenever I start a multiplayer game they go out of their way to be friendly and ask if I wanna play together
>too ashamed of myself to acknowledge them so I just ignore and contemplate ghosting
>I also somewhat resent them for turning into turbo reddit normies that consume tasteless garbage media, talk about sports, have dumb midwit opinions etc etc
>They're actually nice and have happy successful adult lives and careers and are just normal
>I'm severely mentally ill and totally floundering as an adult and have turned into a weird cynical freak that stays inside
>Just want to play vidya in private on steam without being reminded of my personal failures
I'm really such a despicable person totally beyond help. A good person would just talk to them with spiraling into retarded freak thought loops. A good person would reciprocate their kindness and positivity.

>>720306806
What's weird is this bizarre idea people should exist to placate your sorry ass. No justification is needed. People can do what they want, without explanation and none of it has to be in service to pleasing your self-centered narcissist attitude.

>>720308072
Start talking to yourself and grow a huge ego. I'm at peace when I'm alone.

>>720308816
I wish I was that uninteresting. Lucky

Only one anon from /v/ speaks to me on steam, pretty cool guy he helps me with paradox games and roasts me when i buy anime/hentai games.

Sorry guys I can't help going invis, but I'm having a kickass time with the Bubsy collection and don't wanna be judged.

>>720308894
And it's my life to cut you off for being CRINGE! Don't kill yourself over this buddy I know you're having a hard time but you're such a shit friend I can't keep you around because you drag my existence down by several magnitude.
Tada~

>>720306897
Shit like that is rooted in your childhood and difficult to really overcome as an adult. You need professional help if you really wanna change.

>>720306897
Recognizing where your behaviour leads to situations you find yourself uncomfortable with and trying to alter your behaviour.
I wouldn't recommend taking medication except you're absolutely fucked, working on yourself is the only real way.
And if you're mostly fine with the way your life is don't do shit, "normal" is just a buzzword.

>>720307497
What's the point of invisible then? Why not stay offline entirely?

>>720308072
You're either built for it or you're not. It isn't something you can change.

used to to this, but now im just online on shit like christmas eve and new years. dont really care anymore.

Yep, it's gaming time.

>>720305770 (OP)
I used to think this shit was a meme. But god Idk what happened to all my friends but all they do is trauma dump/ talk about politics/ talk about latest youtuber video and all I want to do is play a little video games and not hear about shit i genuinely do not care about.

>>720306580
Because they're irl friends or relatives.
I don't mind playing with them sometimes but they message me every god damn day like they can't play vidya without me.

>>720310841
why do you go invisible instead of offline

>>720305770 (OP)
>call off work
>friends with co-worker on steam

I usually do, but sometimes you might want to interact with only select people

Give it enough time and the Jewish psychology psyop is going to figure a way out to make literally any kind of behavior or emotion beyond being a brainless golem a mental illness.

This is perfectly fine and acceptable behavior. If you're comfortable living like this and don't have any problems with it then what's the actual illness? That you're not as easily influenced by others? That's not an illness, it's a strength to be able to live independently and not care about others so much.

>>720311474
>That's not an illness
antisocial personality disorder is a mental illness categorized by flagrantly not giving a fuck, you're playing catch up to the realization most ""psychological disorders"" are just jews putting labels on undesirable people they don't want to be around
there's a reason those with borderline diagnoses have as much trouble finding doctors who will take them as trannies

Who the fuck ghosted you this hard to be parasocial over steam to this degree that you feel entitled to other people's game time to personally involve you

>>720309414
the whole point of people hiding in invisible is to forcibly self-isolate out of low self esteem and pre-empt getting dropped by their friends by dropping them first to cope
you would just be playing into their hands by validating their paranoid belief that you hated them all along

I do this because I don't want to make my wagie friends jealous when I'm gaming all day.

>>720305770 (OP)
I've had my account set to invisible since 2013 and have never even once changed it. I don't want faggots and autists annoying me when I'm trying to relax and enjoy myself.

4chan is ideal for schizoids because there's no identity and you can freely drop out whenever.

>>720306897
As someone who might have BPD as a male but refuses to actually get a diagnosis, the only way to truly fix it is to go to therapy or run into so many issues that you LITERALLY can't deal with the bullshit anymore and change yourself internally. Only other option you have is to wallow in the suffering and use some form of drug (alcohol in my case) as a way to cope until you die.

>>720315265

You can't "cure" schizoid personality because it's intrinsic to you. You can put on a mask for a while but it won't last.

>>720305770 (OP)
i have a friend who only plays milsims and spaceship combat simulators. We all find his games boring but at the same time he finds our games boring to play so me and a couple of friends play stuff in coop without him like peak, neverwinter nights 2 and other coop game togheter, but then he sees us, gets jealous, buys the game and plays it by himself while we play hoping we see him on the friend list and invite him to play, which he have done before just to end with him saying the game is boring and recommending other games to play with him like Elite dangerous or warthunder, so we just gave up and play togheter while invisible

>>720315796
You're never going to "cure" Cluster A, B, or C disorders (of which Schizoid is in Cluster A with Paranoid and Schizotypal, and BPD sits within Cluster B with Antisocial, Histrionic, and Narcissistic). The best you can do is give someone who has one of them the mental tools and/or prescriptions to mitigate the worst parts.

The symptoms are very similar, and according to wikipedia schizoids are naturally inclined to shun interpersonal contact in favour of online and especially anonymous socialisation

>>720319271

At this point they should just call them "behavior classifications" not "illness" because I just read the wikipedia article about this shit and that's literally me and like 30% of the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

Setting a game to private and playing invisible is like discovering joy in playing games again. No one can judge me or follow my progress. Yet the achievements are still there. It's freedom like it was mean to be.

If we've been gaming together and you suspiciously disappear without a word I WILL check your profile and I WILL remove you if I see you playing games while invisible.

>>720321879
doesn't sound like a big loss.

>>720321879
How do you know if someone is invisible playing games?
I only go invis to play harem loli breed rpg and the like.
If you can search it some how I guess I might as well not go invis at all.

>>720322029
he doesn't know if you private the game, but you can still see people's hours/achievements if the game isn't privated.

>>720322029
Your profile shows the last 3 games you played, how many hours you have in them and the date at which you played them.
People can tell you played something invisible if you remain invisible for over 24 hours since they will see that you played a game on a day you supposedly didn't log in.
You can also just track played hours.

the user going invisible most likely wouldn't care or notice

professional steam stalker here, another way to see if someone is invisible is by checking their steam groups. usually its supposed to be sorted by [in game] > [online] > [offline] but if you're invisible they'll be in the cluster of online people rather than in the group of offliners

I've been invisible for over a year now and sometimes I randomly gift people on my friendlist games from their wishlist (mostly if I really like a game and feel like gifting a copy to somebody so they can enjoy it too)
I never respond to any messages back lmao

Never appear offline, but I went from 60 to 20 friends on steam last year.

I also scrolled through a big group and I saw a couple of "Online" people in the middle of the in-game cluster, I'm assuming it's people playing a game they hid in their library or something then?

>>720306409
How common is this if it always gets guaranteed (you)s? Surely it's mostly autists and avoidant people.

>>720325170
I genuinely believe most people on here who believe they're autists are actually schizoids. But autism has been a meme for decades so every awkward introvert who spends their day online on anonymous imageboards calls themselves an "autist", while schizoid disorder (which doesn't even have a simple name like schizoidism or whatever) is relatively obscure and mostly comes up in occasional threads like these

>>720325032
Anon everyone can see you're playing rapelay and whatever that my little pony VN is

>>720325775
What no they can't. I marked them all as private and hid them! I'm also invisible.

Since this is the only Steam thread going, anybody else notice a bunch of nude mods getting nuked off the Workshop? A bunch of my games updated today, and when I checked to see what changed, their nude mods had uninstalled.

most legit autists I've met irl are actually quite social. they might have difficulty socializing, but the drive to socialize is still there, and they can be quite outgoing around other autists.

A lot of symptoms for these "mental disorders" are kept as vague as possible to maximise the amount of people that get diagnosed.
Fun fact, if you look into the symptoms for autism, by definition everyone on the planet is autistic.

Literally me, I'm ADHD so I start a lot of games but I rarely finish them

I dont use steam but how does it calculate idle time?
I leave games on all the time in the background.
If I have 3 games open that I havent tabbed to in like a week what happens to its timer/signature on steam?

Never add people from /v/ unless they know how to hide their power level.

You're not a celebrity.

>majority of steam chat is with irl friend
>send messages/essays to each other about various topics
>mutual no obligation to respond in a timely manner or at all
I don't know, it just works.

The most recent one you launched will be displayed on your profile as "currently playing"
All of them will have their time increment even if it's minimized.

The final straw was a Steam friend (also IRL friend) who wanted me to quit the game I'm playing to check out how BAD an update to a game we used to play is.

>what do you guys do to be at peace with loneliness?
Eventually you just completely stop giving a shit and being lonely is preferable to having to talk to people.
Ultimately people get in the way of things you want to do.

And now we're in the age of NSFW AI Chatbot Girlfriends there's basically no reason to try with real people anyway.

the internet, social media, gaming and every other nerd hobby is like 80% complete normalfags now who cry and shit and piss their pants if you arent being an Extrovert constantly.
Friend's housemate was yelling at him for an hour the other day when she found out he had 400 hours in Dota 2. She couldn't wrap her head around someone wanting to sit inside and play video games for that long.
>dont you get bored?
>why arent you going out 5 nights a week?
>you should be spending every moment of your free time outside talking to people!
and so on

These things are so boring. They all sound the same after a while

>>720336269
Yeah but they're getting better.
I remember playing with AI chat bots back in the 90s with ones like Eliza and shit was actually functionally retarded back then.
Look at how good AI videos have gotten in the last 12 months.
This shit is the future. Everywhere already uses AI chat bots for shit and its only going to get worse.
Gen Beta (who started getting born this year) are going to grow up thinking its completely normal to have an AI assistant in the classroom and to attend online virtual ChatGPT lectures when they go to college.

>>720336269
Only thing that gets me is how many of them have such bad prompts that they resort to playing Truth or Dare but still dont know the fucking rules.

And nothing of value was lost

>inb4 AI gf pulls a Poochie because she got sick of talking to you
At least the voices are stuck with you until the end. They can't leave even if they wanted to.

Might have something to do with the Visajeet and Massacard antics. I wouldn't trust the workshop for archival purposes anyway. Especially for the games don't upload their shit elsewhere or the original uploader goes the way of the Dodo.

>>720305770 (OP)
Why do this when you can just not add anyone?

PC users are mentally stunted assburgers

>Not showing everyone on your friend list your great taste in videogames
You're a bitch

>>720305891
Do you not know the meaning of "invisible"?

>>720306409
I'm mostly like this, but i like sex. Thanks God™ for Grindr.

>>720337538
why are you gay

>>720337649
i just don't like women in general, and men are hot

>>720305770 (OP)
I don't even need to go invisible anymore, my friends just ignore me anyway

>>720305770 (OP)
Same but gooning time
