Why do you do this?

why do you do this?

I don't want any of them to know I'm an unemployed loser playing video games all day.

Tweet sent.

do you really want to see me launch the same game repeatedly as I try to find why its crashing

Why do you care?

it'd be awkward to suddenly go online after all these years

treating steam like it's a social media platform

you will die alone and nobody will remember you

stealth reporting isn't allowed btw

It is...

It really is Valve's fault for enabling it to be treated as such. But I do enjoy the comment section and being able to leave a big shit on someones profile for them to clean up, you know just like on this site.

FPBP
I don't want normies judging me.

Turns on online

Get message from rando I friended years ago asking if I want to play a game I only launched just to play with my irl friends

Tell him I'm good

He gets angry and calls me a fag, spams my profile's comment section with emotes, and blocks me

Gee I wonder why

Huh??

Because I don't trust people to turn off their notifications about when someone boots up a game and I may have to restart a game several times to get mods working.

because you are an unlikable cunt.

i don't, i have no reason to hide

why do you make this thread every day

Usually cause I'm modding a game or fucking with configs and relaunching it constantly, and I assume my friends are too retarded to turn off the notifications.

Find myself in a habit of having to constantly restart my game for one reason or another (mods, crashes, bug fixes). But I don't want to spam all my friends on steam with 20 notifications that say I launched the same game over and over. Problem is I'll forget to go back online after I'm done.

I don't need to explain jackshit to you. OP.

HS i am not the only 1 thank god.

girl adds me in online game cuz she thinks im funny or something

we play a couple games in the initial days/week after adding and we seem to be having fun

they never really attempt to communicate afterwards, its only me inviting or messaging them from then on

they eventually decline and say they're busy or playing with other people

gradually stop talking to them altogether and delete them

Why does this always happen? What am I doing wrong

When you are playing furry rape simulator but want nobody to know.

Online friends are not real friends, especially females

antisocial and autistic feels icky to be in the presence of others feelings causing my retreat from online status leading me to have less and less interactions which is a good thing because because I actually hate keeping up appearances

Because youre annoying

because usually I have nothing to say, and when some of my friends send me random crap, it's a bit tiring to come up with a response

Where do you people find these clingy types that harass you obsessively like you’re some sort of celebrity? I have four friends on Steam and not one of them ever messages me when I go online. I might as well not even have friends at all

IMG_9926.png - 1284x1534, 523.73K

Because I don't want people to message me asking if I want to play. It's a nuisance having to deal with people in my free time, just leave me alone man. But if I say this I am the asshole.

Anon Babble is dead, whole board is literal bots reposting the same garbage over and over again.

women are sociopaths that are obsessed with making large numbers of friendships that are incredibly shallow and treat relationships with others in a disposable to consume over the couse of a few weeks then toss aside for next fashion
it probably has something to do with mating strategy

I don't. I click on Invisible instead.

I feel better when I'm alone and no one notices my presence. Even being seen by people online makes me a little anxious.

I don’t want my friends to know I’m playing unpopular old games instead of new ones.

because if I'm making shit in automation I'm constantly bouncing between automation and Beamng
I don't see it but I assume it's real annoying to see someone pop up every 4-5 minutes

Because I like single-player games with rich and immersive stories and don't appreciate having them interrupted by one of my extrovert friends begging me to play with them while I'm not in the mood.

can't announce it

can't not announce it either

wtf?

your too old now
glowies only target people at prime age for grooming

Sometimes I want to chat with my friends but not play games with them. If I'm online on Steam they view it as an invitation to rope me in to whatever FOTM trash they are playing. I could literally be talking to these guys in discord with no issue, but the moment someone sees 'online' on Steam it's like blood in the water.

just say no

I am a weak-willed individual. Also my friends always manage to sound genuinely hurt when I refuse to play with them and then I feel bad about it afterward. I'd rather just avoid the whole shebang and invite myself to play with them when I actually want to.
There is a video on youtube somewhere of me taking part in a retarded let's play with some girl because she friended me playing Garry's Mod and then hyperfixated on me for two weeks before never speaking to me again.

I just deleted all my acquaintances after I dropped out of uni. Had a clean friendlist for a decade now ;_;

I use invisible when modding and testing so I don't spam my friends with notifications. I also use it when I'm playing on my Deck as I'm not gonna be interested in getting MP invites when I'm on that thing.

I don't ever use Offline though, why bother?

you were used like a tampon anon. Girls do that

I only did this while procrastinating in uni because I was an idiot and shared my Steam with my group mates.

kek this

I don't want to talk with you. You are terribly obnoxious and I'm only not removing you from my friendlist because you'd probably sperg out over that.

Stop using singular they so much, weirdo.

I don't want to talk with you. You are terribly obnoxious and I'm only not removing you from my friendlist because you'd probably sperg out over that.

This is the intrusive thought that comes to mind when I want to speak to someone

Just block them then, smartass

Because I test mods all the time and friends ask me why I leave and enter a game in seconds several times.

It records the last time since I clean installed windows.

For me it's going invis when I'm jerking off so I don't get interrupted. Trying to maintain a conversation one handed while keeping myself hard isn't fun

just invite them to a session together next time

stealth reporting isn't allowed btw

No, it was a reference to Kanye West on X admitting to have gay sex with his cousin. At the end of the tweet he goes, "Tweet sent". It's a joke.

No I go invisible because I like to check what they are playing
You gotta creepmaxx

So I don't get e-stalked and harassed by clingy internet people who doesn't respect personal privacy autonomy or time

I love when my mates play skyrim and they just spend all day booting up the game over and over again. It brings me sick pleasure to see them fail.

I don't want to talk to you. I'm playing vidya. Or posting on Anon Babble.

I don't, i just enable the privacy setting that hides my library, activity and profile.
I wouldn't if steam didn't announce to the world what I'm doing by default, or announced it at all

Because I can :^)

I dont do this. I've got an account i goon on and an account that I goon less on

So I don't have to talk to you, anon.

be me

be semi good at a fighting game

just want to play a few games ranked and go off

boot up game

5 different dudes ask to play me

don't set to invisible

"hey what's up anon, hop on discord!"

"ah you can't right now? alright maybe tomorrow then!"

and then you feel obligated for the next time or otherwise you're an asshole for rejecting them too much
or if you're a pussy you won't even postpone it for the next time, you will get on a discord call and proceed to waste the next few hours

I usually block people who have a whole lot of nothing to say.

offline:( )

NTA and ok bye fag, get a life.

GUY ON STEAM, WANNA TALK????

OH WELL, MAYBE TOMORROW

IS IT TOMORROW YET???? WANNA TALK????

WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME????

GET A LIFE

truth nuke

Are you retarded? Re-read my post.

Why use "they" and "them" pronouns for a person of which the gender is known, as shown by you refering to her as a girl?

Because I'm working from home

read

Ok boomer. I have my phone to read for me.

When you ghost that steam friend who becomes way too attached you in too short a time

Felt bad but it was necessary.

Mind broken

This, but I am a grown man and have a lot of money. I just don't want anybody to know that I waste my life away playing vidya all day instead of travelling the world. I already have two kids, so I did my part for society anyway.

I work from home with a few co-workers as Steam Friends
One of them is my friend, but he kept making the EXACT SAME JOKE when I was in a game

aren't you supposed to be working? lol

EVERY FUCKING TIME
I had to stop it

if true, your fault for friending schizos and not culling the randos in your friendlist

Embrace peace, serenity, and contentment.

ehh i think this is more of a new problem, making online friends now is like impossible cause younger zoomers are incapable of talking with each other, but the online friends i do have are still the same ones i've been talking too for over a decade

Add friends to Steam

Never interact or play with them

because he's using one girl to refer to multiple instances of the same experience you ESL retard

why does this ALWAYS happen

literally just read the rest of the fucking post

all these normies with friends that want to play games with them in this thread

fuck u guys

drop your steam link and ill harass you and not leave you alone whenever you open a game so you know what it's like
