The Bridge

it's to prevent game devs and key stealers to activate keys on tons of new accounts and drop characters and sell them etc I believe

Unionhawk

Guess who gets to potentially look at last minute flights into Florida

That's right it's meeeeeeeeeeeee

at least these flights are all $200

and I have kayak's advice:

> Watch
Prices are likely to fall within 7 days

Arperum

@Unionhawk Going to see if you can help over there?

Unionhawk

YE

My former employer put out a call for volunteers

I always wanted a hurricane patch

MadMAxJr

Did you try patching your dev instance hurricane first?

I assume you have to air drop into the hurricane with a USB drive.

Yuuki

@UNI HAS WAITED HIS ENTIRE LIFE FOR A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE TO MAKE LANDFALL IN THE US TO DEVASTATING EFFECT: DATA ACCEPTED

Unionhawk

6:10 PM

@Yuuki Nah they give you one as long as you're sea base staff during evacuation or cleanup efforts

cazc_941

@Chippies idk but I have hundreds and I'm only level 32 or something

Chippies

22

A: How many friend slots do you start off with, and how many do you get per Steam level?

As per this Steam forums thread, and this Community discussion: By default, you have a limit of 250 people for your friends list and every level adds another 5 slots - which means that you get 50 slots per milestone (10, 20, etc). In addition to that, linking a Facebook account adds another 50 ...

I guess it's more than 20 at base

that's a lot of friends

Yuuki

@cazc_941 I think Steam users that existed before they added these limits were given extra friend slots.

Maybe?

cazc_941

@Lazers2.0 I just submitted an edit to this because it really wasn't worded clearly and nobody bothered to read it carefully

For your reopen voting pleasure

Avery

I have 437 friends

well

profile shows 437, friends page shows 445

> Friends 445 / 555

leveling up increases friend limit

and connecting to facebook gives like 50

Chippies

6:20 PM

@Avery considering how bad the steam friends list is at organization - holy fuck are you insane how do you even

Arperum

@Avery That's a lot.

Avery

IDK

I used to accept anyone

I clean the list every now and then

Chippies

I have 44/500 friends and half the time I can't find the people I'm looking for

Avery

I make heavy use of the category system

Chippies

especially because the list is constantly reorganized due to people in-game being on top, people online being in middle and offline on bottom

cazc_941

6:22 PM

Hue

Chippies

so you have to go through 3 lists to find someone

Arperum

@Chippies I have 44/410.

cazc_941

Aliases should be included in friend searches

MadMAxJr

I simply stopped adding people who I don't have any regular interactions with. Keeps it short and simple.

Avery

@cazc_941 they are

cazc_941

6:23 PM

No they aren't

My old roommate changed his username and it took me like 10 minutes to find him again

I have 347

Chippies

@cazc_941 they are, I just tried

cazc_941

Must be new ass feature then because this happened literally a few weeks ago

Typed in guys old username, no results in my friends popout

Avery

ohhhhhh

you mean that alias

Chippies

@cazc_941 I thought you were talking about nicknames

Avery

same

cazc_941

6:26 PM

No. Sorry whatever, once you add an alias it searches yeah

Avery

also tags are a thing

cazc_941

I get lots of friend requests from people who think I'm a gang beasts dev or can get them into betas for things

Yuuki

> @AVERY HAS A CATEGORY FOR EACH FRIEND ON HIS FRIENDS LIST: DATA ACCEPTED

Avery

yes

cazc_941

Probably like half my current friends are just from Brawlhalla

Yuuki

> "Hello, you have reached the Men's Help Line, my name is Bob. How can I help you?"
"Hi Bob, I really need your advice on a serious problem. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. You know, just the usual signs: The phone rings and when I answer, the caller hangs up. Plus, she goes out with the girls a lot. I usually try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home, but I always fall asleep. Anyway, last night about midnight, I woke up and she was not home. So, I hid in the garage, behind my boat and waited for her. When she came home, she got out…

Kevin van der Velden

I have a bridge category and a RL friends category

That's 90% of the people I look for =p

Chippies

@Yuuki variations of this joke are older than jesus

Avery

I have those, STS category and "good people" category

cazc_941

Can you guys reopen that steam question please

It's pissing me off that it's closed and downvoted so far

@Avery why are you friends with people who aren't good people

Avery

@cazc_941 done

cazc_941

6:30 PM

Thanks

Avery

@cazc_941 idk

cazc_941

Lol?

I hope Frank loves that comment I left for him

Time to get back to work

Avery

holy crap

@TimmyJim apparently sent an answer the same second

Yuuki

Hmm, I think an edit to the question title is also warranted.

Unionhawk

undownvote submitted

Avery

6:38 PM

@Yuuki what do you think about the title "What are the restrictions of a limited user account on Steam?"? Because, well, it's officially called a "limited user account"

Yuuki

Yeah, but "free" and "paid" are immediately understandable and also fit his original phrasing.

I considered using "limited" and "premium" but I figured "free" and "paid" both made more sense in context and covered more ground SEO-wise.

Avery

yeah I'm split because of that

(that's why I'm asking really, to hear other opinions about this)

cazc_941

@Yuuki wasn't sure where to go with that one but agreed

user15026

@Yuuki oh, right

cazc_941

Put the official name in the body or your answer too

Yuuki

6:45 PM

@Unionhawk So I found out that there's a local bar doing Beerio Kart on Friday.
