What's one feature or trick you use in Steam that you think others should know/use?

Hello adventurer,

Here's something to keep you busy looking forward and maybe we can all learn a few things about our favorite distribution system. Something you have been doing on Steam that not a lot of people do and think they should.

If it's not Steam-related, maybe something that makes the gaming experience on the platform better. So anything from tools, extensions, Windows features, or hardware you might use. Feel free to share videos if you fancy. I like watching stuff and learning new things.

I'll go first. get yourself people or family you trust and link up via Family Sharing. You'll save yourself a tone of money because 1 copy can be used across all other accounts and if you're a hoarder like myself, you'll have every single member satisfied playing a different game without knocking you out of your game, unless you bought the newest, nicest stuff out there. It's by far my favorite feature of the platform and it's a way I can give to my family games, saving them a fortune.

I guess ill share 2 such things:
Games that hate you Steam Curator
It even shares if they need an additional launcher or if it needs to be constantly online 🤮
HLTB integration Script
IMO it's way better than Augmented Steam becz it's right on top. 💖
It's helpful for me to discern if ill play a game by judging its plot summary, screenshots, review percentage and HLTB time at a quick glance. Thus, potentially helping me waste less time cz I can decide if X game really deserves 30 hours of my life or not.

Although I'm not bothered by such things, but it's a great to have this.

Augmented Steam adds useful links to store pages and user profiles, quick sell button for inventory items, and click to reveal hidden achievements (and probably more but that's what I use it for)

Playnite is a multi platform launcher with interface customization and extensions. I import games from Steam, Epic, GOG and Origin to have my whole PC library available in one place. It also supports other platforms like Battle.net and Uplay and itch.io and Rockstar Launcher. I can mark games as beaten or completed when I beat or 100% them. I use the Duplicate Hider extension to only show Steam version of games that I own on multiple platforms. I also use the StartPage extension customized to show my library the way I want to see it (installed, recently released, recently added to library, and some random games with no playtime)
