... you wait for a 30 GB download to finish. Feel free to continue.

Nahhh...
Life really sucks when you are waiting for a 30 GB download to finish, and your internet connection goes down when you only have 1 GB left to go
Or when your internet connection goes down and steam won't let you use the offline mode.
I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!
Rules are like Egg's. They're fun when thrown out the window!
Difference is irrelevant when dosage is higher than recommended!
Or when you think you got enough disc space on your SSD to install, then find out that the game needs 2x dl size of free space to install because of temporary install files.
Which is what happened to me yesterday
And to add insult to injury, after I dl-ed those 30 GB, found out install doesn't work because of the above, I could not even use them ALREADY D-LED 30 GB to install on another medium with enough free space.
As I thought I had to dl this again, to a disc with more free space. There the installation went well. Of course that was my old-fashioned HD, which is way slower than SSD
But on the plus side, Steam has a useful feature to move game files after the installation is complete.
So while the SSD did not have enough for the DL plus the temporary installation stuff it has plenty for the completed installation, allowing me to move it there again

Life sucks when you want gigabit internet service and one compqny has it but it costs $120 per month with a $150 hook up fee and a 24 month contract needed. The other gigabit service tells me their much cheaper (only $90 per month with no hook fee and only a 12 month contract needed) service isn't available in my neighborhood qnd the best they can give me is 100mb per second for $50 per month. I want real competition.
Cox acts like I should be grateful they will allow me to get any gigabit service at all.

I have a steam problem right now. I bought a fancy new gaming desktop with a lovely 27 inch LG monitor so I finally decided to buy Hearts of Iron 4 with all the expansions and DLC. Steam says the dlc is downloaded and installed but there are clear expansion pack features which are not there. WTF?
I just had a major upgrade myself. Bought a Geforce 1080... Cost a pretty penny. I need full upgradeability and put my mark on it. So mine is fully custom built. I was playing Battlefield 1 and the new Tomb raider yesterday. Lovely on a 4k Samsung screen (TN is better for gaming compared to IPS, IPS is better for business /productivity).
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
I am facing a problem with the streaming of the game. It is so disgusting and troublesome as I was close to winning the game. I play DOTA 2 along with my friends but streaming is making the things horrible.
Don't get me wrong, they are very good for gaming. But the response time on TNs are better.

For ppl who care and own "war of the chosen" - there is a new DLC available for free now, but only for a limited period of time.
It add's another 4-5 GB
And while the game is superdupercool on the one hand, it is also supermega annoying on the other IMO (stupid UI, way too much unskippable cutscenes or voice comments etc).
