Can anyone direct me to where I can do that or how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Just want to download something a game for, err, free, essentially.

there are a few free games on steam, but steam really sucks these days. the whole steam community got infected with far-right 4ch-like bs. to the point where i just deleted my account. had faith in steam for too long, and always got let down. most recently they hosted a game where you play as /kyle rittenhouse/ and murder immigrants and bipoc people. it’s really disgusting, and really awful
like comrade straightpeach said, torrenting video games is a great alternative, and one that is going to be a lot less stressful than playing anything through steam.
then personally i love emulators and roms, i still go back to play so many n64/gbc/gba games, and that’s about all i can play anymore due to hardware limitations anyway. there are a bunch of websites to download roms too. software like retroarch makes handling different roms/emulators really simple too
if you really need to use the steam client, then just head to the steam website, create an account, download & install the steam client, open the client, login, and use the steam store to browse for games. it should be clear how to use the client to install games after that. most games on steam cost nazibuxxx tho, and many of the free games have pay-to-play bs built in. if you are on linux, consult your distro’s documentation on steam setup (it can vary)
if you have any adjacent questions, lmk
happy gaming!
I have it just for ARK, FnaFs, RE and when some other good games come out.
Otherwise it’s cancer.
The original FNaF games from Cawthon himself (FNaF1 through UCN) are just single .exe files that can be copied and played anywhere independently (even in WINE on GNU/Linux), as they do not depend on the Steam API. Just a friendly reminder.
And FnaF World is on gamejolt.
So are all the Troll games and games he made for charity (Freddy in Space 2, Fury’s Rage)
I’ve been a long term Steam user (10+ years) but after they changed the whole UI, where now it effectively is just Chromium Browser running a Web App, it started to get progressively worse. Everything started to take a lot longer than before (starting game, uninstalling game, moving files, etc.). Now it’s literally so bad that when I click “Play” nothing really happens for a good few minutes and then suddenly the game pops up. Why is that? I’ve checked logs and tried many things but to no avail. And the best thing? Every single game I downloaded from GOG comes up instantly. And also every single FOSS game I have installed starts up instantly (even 0 A.D.).
Maybe it’s because I’m on GNU/Linux and maybe the Linux native Steam client is just shit because I found out that it expects you to have systemd, whereas I’m using runit. And since the Windows Client has a higher priority it’s probably not likely for them to fix problems like this. I’ve been on their Github issue tracker many times before and they tend to be very unresponsive when it comes to bug reports or improvements.
That was my final straw. The communities becoming 4chan didn’t bother me that much because I just stopped going there after I noticed the large volumes of toxicity.
the whole chromium/systemd thing is so corporatist. yuck.
How is Epic compared to Steam?

OOF
more of the same from the online community. epic gives away a lot of games, but most of those are boring or just really hollow, lacking substance. it’s the problem of capitalist over production just with video games
I honestly think that the games are better, tbh, than they were 10 or 20 years ago.
True, but the amount produced is many times more than it was, so there is many good games now, but 90% of them is just utter crap as per rule. For example go to stream and display ALL new games, theres so many of them and you never even heard or see about 99% of them because they are super niche indie games.
Epic is crap though. Their prices are crap, the are no mods, the only reason entire thing did not fall flat on face is the cosmic amount of money pumped into it at the start and all the free games they are giving out (most of them are complete shit lately).
true about the super niche stuff
there are some good ones, but i was specifically speaking to the quality of epics currated online community, and the quality of the free games they were releasing
Alright, I see.
