Nice one

[Chocofreak13]

did so.

Well, my night is pretty much shot. Thanks to the power flickering because of the storm, I lost all my games on Steam. Now, I'm forced to redownload everything, when I've spent months doing just that after that piece of shit SSD died on me >_<

[Red-Machine]

How did you lose them?

Spent the last two days configuring the router and my computers for IPv6. Got a tunnel through he.net and everything works fine!

It's kind of awesome knowing that you have a HUGE number of IPs available just for you (HE gives you /64 and /48 nets, grabbed a /48.

@Red: I was in the middle of downloading the first Portal, when a storm rolled in; causing the power to flicker just enough for 2k to turn off. Once she was back on, Steam would not start up, nor would the repair feature work; forcing me to uninstall it and start over...which took all my games with it >_<

@Paul: Sounds cool :3

You didn't need to do that.  Just delete everything in the Steam folder except the steamapps folder and steam.exe.  Then run steam.exe and it'll reinstall itself.

Wish I had known that sooner

I'm not all that familiar with the workings of Steam, but couldn't your games be backed up on an external drive?

[Nichi]

Yes you can. In fact, I've started doing just that

[NejinOniwa]

Steam is stupid. -_-

[Red-Machine]

Why is it stupid?

[Chocofreak13]

calling something you don't like stupid makes you sound stupid. :\

that said, i don't use steam, and prefer hard copies of my games. though there are a couple steam exclusives that i'd like, but i don't want the program. catch 22. >>;

Same with me, Steam is perpetually more trouble to me then it actually seems to be worth.  That being said, I'm kind of surprised that I went to Best Buy today and while they didn't have a single copy og Fallout: New Vegas they had a handful of Fallout 1 discs.  It came out in 1997.

.....Does Best Buy routinely sell 15-year-old games / programs? ._________.;;;;
