    Honestly, Steam’s UI still needs some work. A better way to control what games get auto updates comes to mind. Also, Library and Downloads not being different tabs is odd because I click Library expecting to see my Library but I see downloads.

    I distinctly remember when I decided Steam was best. I hated it and bought Borderlands (the original) through some other service. My friends got an update through Steam and I didn’t get it for a long time. The patch from the official website only worked for the physical edition.




  • parent tag

    Ahhhh, okay. I didn’t know that was a thing. That’s exactly the sort of thing that would help though. Tha is for telling me. In Stack Overflow (not that I’m suggesting a technology Q&A site and fan fiction site need similar functions) tagging is much more strict. They can even change tags and combine them thus affecting all related questions. But it sounds like AO3 has something somewhat similar but I wasn’t aware.






  • tags

    As a very inexperienced AO3 user, tha tags are a nightmare. There’s like millions of them and no real rhyme or reason to them it feels like. Plus, people use tags as a joke the same way people did on Tumblr. So it’s hard to know which tags are jokey one-off tags and which are tags you should actually sort by.

    But, I also understand that for the true users of AO3 (I only ever go there to read stuff people send me) it works good enough and I’m not suggesting they should change it.
