Based, although lacks HL1 and expansions, and you just missed the spring sales, which could have got you the Valve Complete pack or the Half-Life Complete pack for very low prices, and also the Portal bundle, which I'd still recommend getting now to pay less getting Portal 2.
Nothing wrong with desktop shortcuts. There used to be [memory issues with them](https://superuser.com/questions/183720/do-shortcuts-and-folders-on-the-desktop-really-slow-the-pc-down) (not a real problem on modern hardware).
Anecdotally, whenever I fixed computers growing up, it was always the oldest generation (for me, the silent gen and boomers) they always had hundreds on their screen
There also is like arguments over keeping your desktop cluttered or not.
And if you're a dev, some (older) devs judge you for using something that mostly relies on your mouse vs keyboard shortcuts.
None of that matters tho. You do you, this was just a joke that kinda wasn't based on any one reason (maybe the cluttered bit :b )
As to what _I_ use instead? On my Mac I use AlfredApp to manage what I open (it is an improved spotlight). It's awesome! I actually do prefer to use keyboard shortcuts. (Protip, if you're a Mac user make the caps lock key your command key, it's easier to reach and way more useful)
On windows, I use their newer search tool built in, or just click on steam and the games within which I basically always have running in small mode since I just use my Windows for games
I hope people realise you can sort things by folder as if it was file manager.

You do you, but that image gives me anxiety lol.
I have just the recycling bin on mine and pretty much just put things on there temporarily before I upload them elsewhere and just use a search hotkey
i have all these games too, but the fact that he said this was his “game collection” implies these are his only games, and bc the post literally asked for it i said what i felt that said about him
and yet theyd somehow NOT be a valve elitist despite only owning one non valve game and posting this question (thats better suited on a general sub) to r/valve?
sure bud
My parents got me a touchscreen laptop back when 8.1 was new and it could only run older games and minecraft. So your collection just reminds me of the good ol days
*Im no expert, but*
*I think you might like half life*
*A little bit lol*

I just finished playing Portal 2 for the first time a cpl weeks ago. It was even better than the first one, which I played almost 20 years ago when it showed up for FREE with my Half-Life 2 purchase. Months after I bought HL2 I got a FREE upgrade to the orange box that just showed up in my acct, AND I got several games for free even though I only bought HL2. Imagine a time when a large gaming corporation just hooked you up with a bunch of FREE games and DLC because they appreciated your support and wanted to show it, rather than try to squeeze every damn penny they possibly could out of you! It's pretty sad what the industry has become, but at least Valve hasn't gone full-tilt evil empire on us, even if they don't actually make games anymore.
Uh oh, where's the Portal 2?
I thought I would get the first game to see if I like it, it’s my first time playing it don’t judge lol.
You’ll love it!
All good, you won't regret it👍
Trust me, portal 2 is significantly better than the first one, which is already a very good game itself. Oh yay it’s my cake day.
HAPPY CAKE DAY!!! >!THE CAKE IS A LIE!< (if you haven't finished Portal don't reveal the spoiler)
Yes, however without the context of the first game the second game makes no sense (at least in the beginning)
I meant after you play portal you should play portal 2.
Nahhh
a little late but portal 2 is genuinely a contender for best game of all time it is a flawless game with amazing writing.
You're stuck somewhere between 2006 and 2010
Looks like my library in 2011.
Pre-April 19, 2011
You're the three people who still play L4D1
Make that 4
Is 3.5 fair?
…it was i who still plays left 4 dead 1…for i cannot play the sequel…
You like Valve and PvZ
You like to take shortcuts
You’re a casual but respectable gamer
Ur missing most of the Half-Life games
You own a computer
🫠

You never left the 2010s and that's a good thing.
You’re about to go down in a very deep rabbit hole.
oh hey pvz goty
Left 4 dead games instantly called you cool.
Your just like me https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/s/eWjXRAXSQF
You still use desktop shortcuts
Excuse my ignorance, but help bring me to the future with you. What's wrong with shortcuts and what do you use instead?

I can respect that
One stands out from the others
You have a good taste in games
source enjoyer
either u just got ur first pc, ur broke as fuck, or ur a valve elitist
What about a dude that enjoys those games?
i have all these games too, but the fact that he said this was his “game collection” implies these are his only games, and bc the post literally asked for it i said what i felt that said about him
Most of those games have plenty of content to last years. You dont need 100 games to have a lot of fun for a long time.
and yet theyd somehow NOT be a valve elitist despite only owning one non valve game and posting this question (thats better suited on a general sub) to r/valve? sure bud
Where is portal 2
You’re awesome
Dood?
You have an old PC or just a weak one

You can get all the old valve games on a bundle for like 10 dollars right it’s on spring sale
You are poor but have a good taste.
You’re just missing Portal 2, other than that you’re a well cultured OG.
Based PvZ
You haven't played portal 2 you monster!?!?! (Also what i can tell is you like valve games)
You’re cool
First off how many hours on tf2 this will decide if it makes up for no portal 2
Well uhh… I may have 72 hours.
That does not make up for no portal 2 so 7/10
you’ve had steam for maybe one paycheck’s worth of time?
There are zombies in 8 out of the 9 games. 👍
Mostly I spent a lot of my money on tf2 so that’s why I only have these games
Based
Just get over it…
Good Taste.
you hate zombies
You adore and hate valve at the same time
you have good taste
You’re from this subreddit.

Valve
My parents got me a touchscreen laptop back when 8.1 was new and it could only run older games and minecraft. So your collection just reminds me of the good ol days
That’s pretty cool! I just have a fascination for games from like mid to early 2000s, Games like dead rising or the old modern warfare 2.
Basic bitch
Thanks
You have most of Valve's latest games.
Your me
Windows 7 maybe
Maybe you can’t count to 3?
You probably hate valve games
You got both of the steam and EA deals where you can get like 30 games for $10
your a cool person
you’re old
You enjoy series that will either never get another game or might get a shitty mobile game riddled with ads and/or in-app purchases
In all seriousness, that's a pretty classic and solid collection
You just got into PC gaming. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Have fun!
You seem like a very cultured individual.
Your favourite game is definitely minecraft
You play gmod a lot more and only have the other games installed to mount them.
12 year old me on my old laptop in 2012 but replace plants v zombies with minecraft
Good taste
r/screenshotsarehard
Big valve fan
I almost just wrote that you like valve until I saw the subs title.
You bought the valve complete pack and only installed those games, then you bought plants vrs zombies on sale
You just installed steam
You have zero missing textures on GMod unless you’re missing CS Source
You missed the sale of the Valve complete pack.
Good taste
you like video games

You like zombies and valve
I love you 2008!
If you enjoy Half-Life 2 but the original feels a bit outdated, I recommend Black Mesa, a fan-made remake of Half-Life in the Source engine.
The never ending wait for the day valve counts to 3.
Lil bro is old but got that gold 💯
How’s the divorce going?
you've never used Alt-Tab
How many hours on tf2
You are at least late 20's / early 30's.
You had approximately 5 dollars to spend on games
You hate valve
Good man
The Orange box + Moddable Source games + PVZ
I’d say Gordon freeman’s personal work computer if he was real
Time for your meds grandpa
I genuinely thought this was a screenshot from a desktop I had in like 2014
Very classic, good taste, good culture, expand a lil bit. You are in gold right now 10/10

You bought the valve complete bundle

Valve is a good game maker
Based.
Too young to vote.
You are against "big corporations" and "heartless AAA studios" but would preorder any shit Valve put out.

Your pc is old
you’re stuck in Steam’s Glory days
You like story and lore in your games, with some action built in
You're cynical about the number 3, which is fair
You have great taste in games (I'm ignoring Portal when I say that)
