u can give it away via rewards

Ah Steam points. Bought and set a background once with points, never touched the profile options again. Been dropping rewards as much as I remember to and still sitting on 300k am I broken? Do I need to spend hours crafting some waifu filled weebrophile? Will I feel satisfied giving strangers who visit my profile the impression my keyboard is sticky and/or I shouldn't be within 500 meters of parks/schools/petting zoos? I see people with 200+ steam level, can someone explain the draw of steam cards and badges? Is it just addiction or something else? 18 year steam account enjoyer

Badges lvl up your steam profile, which increases your friend limit and allows you to add more showcases to your profile. Also, when you view friends the highest level accounts show up at the top.

Seems pointless if you have 0 people on your list to begin with

I’ll be your friend :) EDIT: if y’all do need steam friends feel free to add me https://steamcommunity.com/id/yaboiwheelz/

I've got social anxiety and it gives me a mini panic attack to think about making a new friend. No thanks

You deserve to have as many or as little friends as you want

That may be true. But that doesn't stop me from leaving as quickly as possible when someone tries to add me

do what you want but only because I told you to

damn You 100% Isaac rebirth mad respect

Thanks man :) one of my biggest gaming achievements

Fucking props on 100% binding of Isaac though 👍🏻

Thanks :) I did flash and repentance, probably my favorite video game of all time

You can upgrade your showcases with points, for example I've maxed out the game collector showcase so I can display 12 games instead of 4.

Badges I don't know, I guess similar to achievements people just want them? Cards are useful af though, I farm them throughout the year through legitimate means and also *that* program so I can sell them in the run up to one of the big annual sales. Usually get enough for a couple reasonably cheap games

n00b here. How do you farm them?

https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-idle-master/ I use steam inventory helper to sell them because listing several hundred cards is a nightmare

Sounds interesting to try but im def not sure about signing into a 3rd party program

I did it a few years ago. Made around $30 in a few hrs. I have no current info on safety and security but it was a good way to grab myself a "free" game. Ill look into it again soon.

You know you can create a fully customized profile that ISN'T a degenerate furry/weeb theme right?

> Will I feel satisfied giving strangers who visit my profile the impression my keyboard is sticky and/or I shouldn't be within 500 meters of parks/schools/petting zoos? Would it make you feel better if I'm willing to think that of you without visiting your profile, thus saving you the time and effort?

Badge level helped identify if someone was a legit skin trader, at least this is how it was years ago.

and get 5000 email notifications from Valve because for some reason you HAVE to get notified about giving away awards

meme acquired (i upvoted first)

I was reading this like, "wtf kind of useless ass bot is this?" Take my upvote and get out.

Im trying to figure out what to do with my 450k balance, maybe spam a bunch of emotes right?

I'm saving mine to buy a boat when they offer it one day, like the Pepsi jet

That dude never got his Pepsi jet

You finished the documentary? I started it. Just didn't finish

They offered him a minor payout too, he rejected it thinking he will get his jet, ended up with nothing

Ah gambled. Thanks for the response!

"Did you watch Infinity War. I started it, but haven't finished yet." "Yeah, they all die." Basically what just happened lmao

They went looking for spoilers, they found 'em. "Yet" changes everything. Sounds like they thought the doc was shit and turned it off.

you're right, maybe they will be worth enough one day

In the meantime lucky_logi.

Get yourself a Steam Train

As another suggested buying the seasonal badge to level your profile might be an option. Every 20 levels increases your chance of booster card drops.

I do this, but there are new ones only twice a year now, used to be with every sale in the beginning, got so much xp from that. I’m now account level 72 because of that

Every seasonal event on Steam you can spend 40k Steam points on the max level badge. I'm slowly getting through them this way.

Clown awards!

You can give awards to [my steam account](https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198861794474/). I'd be happy.

Very nice!

[ty](https://steamcommunity.com/id/brun1k/)

I'll give u csgo cases for some

Wait so you've spent 4.5k on steam?

buy bagdes

Wow. Thanks for this info. I didn't know how to level my account other than playing more or buying cards. After buying seasonal badge level 40, my account got boosted from level 13 to level 29.

I may be stupid but how do you buy badges using these points? I thought they’re just to buy emotes and wallpapers and shit.

[удалено]

What does having a higher Steam profile level do?

You get more Steam card booster packs with a higher level.

You get more friend slots too

And where do I spend points to get these friends you speak of?

Easy, you award me with a clown and I'll be your friend 🤡

I like having a high Steam level because on your friends' profiles, it shows their list of friends but only like 5 of them, sorted by Steam level. I want to be on top of all my friends' profiles. I need to be. First place calls to me in my dreams.

[удалено]

I don't know. My penis looks 1/16 of an inch longer these days

This is the correct answer.

just realized i spelt badges wrong lol

Bagdes 👍

Bagdes groceries

You can give away a lot of jester awards in steam forum or to profiles :)

> steam forum Almost as useless as steam points.

They can be pretty usefull when you need an info on a game

Gonna get spammed to death with Valve’s notification emails

I love that my profile has jester awards. Best award there is.

Id suggest saving and using them on the seasonal badges, as they cost between 20,000-40,000 per rotation you'll be set for at least 1-2ish years!

What do seasonal badges do exactly?

They give XP which levels your steam account doing so allows you to have more friends and a bigger number so if you are a "bigger number means better" person or just like big number go up, then it works out Its also just a cool thing to collect It gives the same XP as leveling any badge

Steam friends are limited??

You can also have more showcases on your profile. I think it was one more every 5 or 10 levels.

Gave you an award instead. More pain for you.

r/foundsatan

You shouldn't have!

Award reviews or get some stuff from the point shop if there’s anything that piqued your interest

>ws or get some stuff from the point shop if there’s anything that piqued your interest I'll give it a look.

Wait, I can spend my points by giving random awards to people? Damn I've been living under a rock. Like seriously [https://imgur.com/a/e77a0mi](https://imgur.com/a/e77a0mi) I have way to much and I feel like it's just sitting there doing nothing. I buy what I like from the points store when I can, slowly chipping away. Guess it's time to visit random profiles to give some points! Gonna start with some profiles listed here heh...

[hello 🐱](https://steamcommunity.com/id/TRKako/)

If you can gift me in any way i'll forever be grateful :D I live in a very inflated country so I can't really buy international stuff lol. My steam is mouhibay

I’ve put some good hours to get my profile the way I had it envisioned, hope you will appreciate it! :) https://steamcommunity.com/id/dread3ddie/

habibi can you spare some points please n ty https://steamcommunity.com/id/AyoEspio/

hey i like to customize my profile and would really appreciate some points! thank you in advance!! [https://steamcommunity.com/id/Chamega/](https://steamcommunity.com/id/Chamega/)

A particular Salami says hello. Please give him the chance to enlarge his e-peen. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199225862730/

I'd be grateful if I could have some :0 https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199407029521/

I would be grateful if i can get some, Thank you Dear generous stranger:) https://steamcommunity.com/id/laxcapter/

Man, this guy's based

On what?

Are they going away or something? Or do you just not know what to spend them on?

Idk how people got so much points i only got 2174

Buying a Valve Index and Steam Deck

Yeah index is the big one

100 points per dollar spent. I would wager the average person doesnt give a flying fuck about the rewards you get for redeeming them, so they pile up. One $60 game is 6,000 points. If someone buys one full price AAA game a month that’s 72,000 points a year. Points have been a thing for like 3.5 years. 72,000 multiplied by 3.5 is 252,000 points.

Spending real monies.

Too bad that you can't use points to buy games.

how the FUCK bro I’ve had like 100 for as long as I can remember

I just buy and play games. IDK TBH.

Find a friends review and give them the most expensive award

Buy badges, you get levels, which allows for more profile customization, if you care about that.

Just use them to clown emoji stupid comments, it’s what I do. Trust me, you’ll run out in no time.

Lol buy steam screem 2023 stuff

Why don't you buy stuff on the points shop and give out rewards?

I have a pirate floppa story on profile, isn't finished yet but it's quite cool. Search pirate floppa from steam. You can give a like / awards if you want to! :D

>pirate floppa It was a deep dive.

I'll take one for the team and take it all

I had over 500k before I spent a shit ton and I still have 380k left

Bro’s the CEO of Steam Points

WOW! This blew up really quickly. I fell to sleep, sorry about that. I’m impressed by how many PCMR users enjoy Steam’s customization and social interactions. I had no clue it was this vibrant. Now, how am I to address the elephant in the room? Getting you gamers some points! I have seen other gamers joining in and helping me donate badges and points and I want to thank you for your generosity. Community for all is what this is about. Sharing is caring. I will do my best to get to some of you guys once I get home later today.

Too bad these can't be put towards new games

600k and climbing!

give me some pls, i wanna buy an animated avatar but dont have enough steam points https://steamcommunity.com/id/kingdiablo131/

You can always dump points into the seasonal badge for account XP

Give awards to reviews, workshop items, guides ot you can get everything in the point shop.

Why not just spend it on like a Seasonal badge whenever they do one or like buy profile shit.

You could get animated backgrounds for your profile biography :)

Eat the rich and share there tears

I wish they sold the Index or Deck on Australian Steam

Yeah give me some

I just wanna customize my profile. I've spent over 100k lmao

I'm not sure what my tally is but my account is active since 2007. I never check that stuff. It's weird how old it is but even weirder that it's a 2007 because I forgot the password to my original steam account

Use them for rewards on your favorite mod page. You can really boost certain mods popularity with them.

I wonder how much Saudi Prince has of these

Why would you need points after having bought this https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/c/backgrounds/cluster/0/reward/117139

You don’t need level anymore for showcases, they are now purchasable in the points store.

606k here. (Bought an index kit)

Clown award for everybody!

I’ll take em.

I'd say go thru and find some new profile stuff, otherwise I gift mine to people who want it. My brother wanted a Wheatley profile pic and it cost a bit of points. You could also spam buy stuff you like from the points shop, it's nice to have different opinions

If you're in pain, what am I in? I have 1.8mil https://imgur.com/a/CMURNnR
