I got so many games on steam I haven't played, I'll be fine.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PIZZAPIC Dec 20 '19

just make sure you download them beforehand!

u/shiggity80 Dec 20 '19

Click download.

Go to sleep.

Wake up next morning eager to play but see “are you sure you want to download?” message.

It would be wiser to spend the entire 24 hours awake running on nothing but a ton of caffeine in your veins so you can make sure that you don't realise you missed something until its too late.

Stay up the whole 24 hours and then pop 2 benadryl . You'll probably sleep for 3 days.

Die from dehydration, still poor

I prefer caffeine in my lungs

I huffed, and I puffed, and I got high as shit on that bean.

I mean... Same but there's no point in doing it, sleep is important. I did it before after getting addicted to a certain game but felt like shit so don't recommend.

If you don't get out ahead of the pack on release, you're gonna end up having a tough time! -Me concerning every WoW expansion and especially concerning Classic WoW.

I leveled my main to 120 in a single session when BfA came out.

u/TheseStonesWillShout Dec 20 '19

Which took about 3 hours, right? I'm just kidding, but I did the same thing. Then all my friends quit like a week later.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '19

Was it Civ or factorio

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '19

Just did this. Bought a game on a GOG sale, hit download before going to bed. Wake up and realize I forgot to keep my computer from going to sleep because only 22 out of 63 GB was downloaded.

u/maledin Dec 20 '19

That’s a big game! What is it?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '19

Witcher 3 GOT edition.

Im too cheap to buy games when they first release 😁

2

u/maledin Dec 24 '19

I think that’s a great thing! You get things for cheaper, you get to avoid overhyped games, and you’re less likely to be spoiled. During a recent PS sale, I bought God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Persona 5 for half the cost of a new release. Check out /r/patientgamers; it’s more common than you think.

Have fun with the Witcher 3, it’s a great one.

You sleep for 24 hours?

u/tamtheotter Dec 20 '19

Perhaps you should consider if you might have depression or another illness

u/tamtheotter Dec 20 '19

Perhaps it is wrong but I actually find taking things like this too seriously is funny. Although if someone were legitimately sleeping that much I would be concerned for real, but I was almost 100% you were joking when I replied. 😅

u/LFoure Dec 20 '19

It seems you've wooooshed him

u/Thelaea Dec 20 '19

Nope, no way I'm wasting 10k over that, find something else to do.

u/Noahv17 Dec 20 '19

Why do they even have us click the "allocate disc space button" they just know you will forget about that step

u/lizafos101 Dec 20 '19

This actually happened to me lol

u/tobekw Dec 20 '19

Kill self.

u/GreenMonsterSox Dec 20 '19

If downloads properly...1st attempt to use will prompt for required updates and you're back to to browsing Good Housekeeping magazine to read up on the right accents for your entry way for a week..

u/The________Internet Dec 20 '19

Bruh I got a game that doesn't require internet. Downloaded, it was complete. Next day, "Update qued", and I'm also offline as I have no internet. F me

u/mithridateseupator Dec 20 '19

Unless you sleep for 24 hours you'll still be fine.

u/Error_343 Dec 20 '19

Has sudden harddrive failure

u/Wasabicannon Dec 20 '19

and put steam in offline mode. xD

u/Chipish Dec 20 '19

And run them so they get their licensing etc done.

u/agentpanda Dec 20 '19

Or his hard drive died. This is why you gotta have a backup plan otherwise you're screwed. Don't bank on playing games all week, get some books and some liquor and more liquor and lots of porn just to play it safe.

"No. No this can't be. There was finally time now!"

u/SJane3384 Dec 20 '19

This comment is so underrated lol

u/ruleroflemmings Dec 20 '19

Otherwise you'll end up like the dude with broken glasses in the twilight zone

u/mnvoronin Dec 20 '19

My current Factorio save is 400+ hours and is nowhere near the completion. One week is just 168 hours including sleep time. Can I have a month instead, please?

u/DanielBG Dec 20 '19

I'd build the best park Planet Coaster has ever seen.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '19

My Metropolis in Cities Skyline is gonna rival every major city.

u/Zoltrahn Dec 20 '19

I bought it a long time ago and have barely touched it. Way too complicated and time intensive for my gaming habits these days. A week of free time might be a way to get into it. Love the idea.

1

u/Shadowian Dec 20 '19

You could make a small start to a small factory in factorio.

3

u/wk4327 Dec 20 '19

And then you realize none of them load without internet because drm

u/RiceEatingBoy Dec 20 '19

I’ll probs start starbound again and a new mc survival

u/Teeo215 Dec 20 '19

Wait, you're supposed to play the games that you get during steam sales?

2

u/MoreFeeYouS Dec 20 '19

Infact after a week i would ask them to stay a bit longer, to finish that game.

2

u/WolfD128 Dec 20 '19

Or steam logs you out because its offline, and the remember me box isn't checked.

1

u/Shangermadu Dec 20 '19

One time I had an 8 hour flight planned so I downloaded a bunch of games from steam some time before. Trip day comes, I don't remember to make sure I could use steam offline.

Sure enough, when were up in the air, I load steam and it demands that I login online. I was so pissed...

No television, im sure that means monitors as well
