How big is your Steam folder?


Recommended Posts

Right now it is not very large as i have not installed a lot since i moved computers.

 

Its only 147Gb right now.

 

According to Steam Gauge;

 

includes 174 items, is valued at $2136.41, and requires 596.3 GB

 

However, that clearly does not include DLC for games and some of those are over 2Gb on their own.

That's the cool thing about Steam (and the cloud).  I play something then I uninstall it when I'm done.  The size of my Steam folder fluctuates accordingly.

 

According to Steam Gauge:

 

Over the last 10 years, you've spent 1303.1 hours playing this selection, which includes 317 items, is valued at $4050.01, and requires 1082.1 GB

I only keep the games I haven't finished and that don't support steam cloud since most of them take minutes to redownload. Some games require way too many files and it's never wise to keep them all installed: those dozens of millions of files can make an huge difference on all the filesystem operations on your system partition.

I have pretty much everything installed so about 380GB.

 

2300 hours :|

And that doesn't include some MMOs I've played. I know back in the day I had spent almost a full 365 days of play time in World of Warcraft alone.

 

You know you're a lost cause when you feel proud of how much you've played games.

A friend of mine has clocked more than 1500 hours in DC Universe Online ALONE. And he only started using Steam a little over a year ago!  :wacko:  :wacko:

I'm not subscribed to WoW anymore to check but I'm pretty sure my played time was around 340 days x 24 hours = over 8000 hours. Albeit some time would be AFK, but still... I think a sane person would be concerned :p

 

I'm thinking we should have a time played thread as well if one doesn't exist.

    • I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
