In June, sadfutago posted a simple thread asking the community for some help in opening a mysterious door... -

Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.
Today's update is no different. Frankly, I'm just writing about this new update because I happened to see that it was just released, and... -

That's about nine years without a new Grand Theft Auto title.

by Shawn ZipayBroken controllers, holes in walls, excessive yelling and swearing.
While I'm sure we would all like to consider ourselves here calm, cool, and collected that might not always hold true when playing a frustrating game. Maybe you're having a particularly frustrating day, and nothing is going your way. Maybe your teammates (and totally not you) are doing terrible and you're losing a multiplayer game because of it. Maybe you just died for the 50th time to a boss that did some unblockable...Yes, I've raged. Full on broken controller & hole in wall levels of rage.20.00%1Yes, I've raged but without any sort of property damage.80.00%4No / can't remember.
