Uninstall STEAM Fail

[Chef C Green]

How Chef Screwed Himself Over

You know those moments when you look back on something and go "Shiiiit.... I shouldn't have done that..."

So about a week ago after getting my ass handed to me on a fucking silver platter in WCS (or business as usual some would say), I came to the conclusion that CS:S was no longer worth my time. Now granted, this was something like midnight/1am, I was blazed, it was just not the best time to be making any decisions whatsoever. However, I decided to press on and proceeded to uninstall CS:S, CS:GO, and finally STEAM just to curb my incessant gaming and lack of productive schoolwork.

I got about 18 hours before I said to myself "WHAT THE F^(% WERE YOU THIKING?!", fruitlessly searching my desktop for the CS:S quick-launch button that had become a reflex to hit after waking my laptop from sleep. As STEAM downloaded/installed itself and prompted me for my username, the feeling hit me, like my stomach had phased through my body, chair, and was now resting somewhere on the floor. Yes... I hadn't put in my login for so long due to having it saved, that not only did I not know my password, but I didn't know the email I had setup my account with.

A little background on myself, I don't typically keep the same stuff for very long. I'll use a couple dozen passwords with no real connection to one another, and usually put them partly or entirely in a different language (ex: Japanese, French, 1337, etc.). In addition, I have about 6-8 different emails because rather than deleting old emails/junk mail, I get to about 2k when I am like "Ok, new email time!" ...Yeah, not the best way of organizing things haha.

To sum up, I am now waiting to hear back from STEAM support to see if the information I gave them (STEAMID, most likely email used (which I can't get access to...), etc) will allow me to get my account with several hundred hours of gameplay on WCS and ZMOD back.

Suggested Morals:
- Don't save passwords (input them everyday so they become muscle memory like windows login)
- Don't uninstall STEAM... EVER (seriously, this is not a logical thing to do, as I mentioned I was not in my right state of mind haha)
- Keep a gaming email account (just games)

I'd like to thank you for humoring my rant if you even skimmed through a sentence (hopefully you didn't read the whole thing because it's mostly nonsense )

P.S. If anyone has recommendations on how to remedy this situation, that'd be helpful XD, MUCH APPRECIATED!

P.S.S. I may be playing level 10 human for the upcoming WCS Scrim... Sorry potential teammates >.<
