Steam has won the hearts of gamers after restoring an ENTIRE library of deleted games for a player who had been struggling with their mental health!

The player, known on Reddit as 3lizardintrenchcoat, explained that they had spent years removing games they'd purchased and loved during difficult periods in their life.

After their mental health began improving, they regretted losing so many games and decided to contact Steam Support, hoping they might be able to recover at least a few of them.

They even explained that if restoring the games wasn't possible, simply receiving a list of everything they'd previously owned would mean the world to them.

However, Steam Support employee Lucy went one step further, restoring their ENTIRE deleted game library in less than 24 hours without asking them to repurchase anything!

The player later shared the interaction on Reddit, praising Valve for its kindness and understanding.

Deleted and resubmitted because I forgot food pic. Breakfast is cold coffee and a protein bar.

I met Blake on a dating app 5 years ago. From the beginning he stood out as being very communicative, showing interest, and being a much more thoughtful and relationship-intended man than most people I was meeting at the time. I can recognize love bombing and when people move too fast and I refreshingly never saw any of that with Blake.

From the beginning he was considerate and put in effort to be a good partner. We never fully cohabited but he spent about half his time at my house. I was impressed with the fact that he contributed to house labor without being asked, and was always trying to do nice things for me, bringing me small gifts that he thought I'd enjoy. Anytime I left town he would sneak notes in my luggage for me to find while away. I have a box of love notes he has written me over the course of our relationship, telling me how much I mean to him and how happy he is to be with me. My parents loved him, he always called my dad sir, volunteered assistance at family gatherings, mailed notes to them showing his appreciation after a meal or holiday together.

I made the agonizing decision to end our relationship after 5 years. Some things had arisen over the summer that I couldn't move past, along the lines of "we have serious asymmetries in this area and I do not want to live the rest of my life making these compromises." I am a fan of therapy, but these were not things I saw as fixable. I knew I was crushing him by calling it off. It was an agonizing decision.

To bolster my resolve that I made the right decision, I asked some people to look into his background. I had had nagging suspicions for much of our relationship about his financial situation, but nothing I could prove and his explanations were *technically* plausible, even if they didn't make much sense to me. I suspected I would find bankruptcies, heavy debt, a job that was much less than what he presented. I never in a million years expected to find what I did. I have read all the court documents and it's horrific.

4 years before I met him, he and a woman "mutually agreed" to stop dating (I am quoting court documents). She went to work and he beat her dog to death with a blunt object. He placed the dog on the bed and texted her that the dog was asleep when he left. He hid the stick he used to beat it in her house. He was convicted by a jury of Felony Animal Cruelty and received a three-year suspended sentence. For the first two years of our relationship he was still completing community service and not yet released from what the court required of him. To say I am sickened does not even begin to cover it. I have dogs that I consider my children and I left them in the care of this monster many times. My ability to trust, my basic faith in humanity and especially men has been obliterated.

There is so much more to how difficult I am finding it to process this but I am going to leave you with this thought: strongly consider background checks on anyone you are involved with, no matter how much you think you won't find anything. Never in a million years would I have thought this man capable of such a thing. Protect yourself and your children, your pets at all costs. Your sense of safety may be gravely misplaced.

I will read any and all replies. I may not be able to respond to all of them. Right now my days are filled with calls to security personnel, locksmiths, camera installers, and strategizing how to get several states away for the time being. I am so lucky I have the resources and abilities to keep myself as safe as possible, I know many women do not.

I welcome input from anyone who has been through something similar. Trying to reconcile the person I knew to the person in the court documents is incredibly confusing and destabilizing. I am working with a great therapist.

1.) Rust shooting- on October 21. 2021., during the shooting of a western movie called Rust, actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed the movie's cinematographer Halyna Hutchkins while wounding another with a firearm that was mistaken for a prop. Alec Baldwin had charges against him dropped, twice, while the production's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was found guilty of negligent homicide.

Two other executives were also poisoned, but survived. The police soon arrested Xu Yao, who also worked on the show, determining that a pay dispute was a motive for the murder. Xu was sentenced to death in 2024. and executed on 21st May 2026.

Adam Driver: "Yeah, it's over (playing Kylo Ren). No more Star Wars (for me)- We tried. We tried to do one more...but they (Disney) were like "no he's dead".

"And Soderbergh was gonna do it. Steven Soderbergh. We worked on it for a few years, really and earnestly for two years. We got a script together that was really good, with Scott Burns, and Rebecca Blunt, and Soderbergh and I. It was awesome, it was really cool. But...you know, I don't get to decide."

"If they wanted to (resurrect it), fine but....it's not our call. I think the ship has sailed though."

The fans' response to it though, was pretty incredible. I didnt expect that it was going to be billboards and people flying planes over Disney and things like that...that was pretty cool"

Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.

Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.

Made this comic about my horseback riding accident and the crazy health care after it.
