The Absurd Things Found On Steam thread

Or itch.io, GoG, App Store, Playstation Network, XBox Live, anywhere really.
Post 'gems' found in gaming sites, or in the comment threads thereof. The more obscure or ridiculous, the better. Screenshots and videos of bugs and stupid player mistakes count too, I guess.
EDIT: Finger trouble. I meant to post this under the Games section. Can any of the mods please move this (or tell me how to do so), or is it OK where it is?

@scholrlea So you don't mean absurd or ridiculous in the good Rock of Ages way then, right?

Soo... My sister came to me saying something about a swastika in Portal knights. I obviously checked it out and, yeah.. http://imgur.com/a/EuSC2

I played a game that has 6 real achievements and 660 blank achievements you get for starting the game:

@the_quiet_one It's not quite what I had in mind, but, sure, why not.
I was mostly looking for things that were absurd in ways that make you roll your eyes before you chuckle, rather than ones which make you smirk and giggle. But feel free to include that sort of thing too. Good intentional absurdity can be just as entertaining as amusingly bad unintentional absurdity.
For that matter, absurdly horrible or offensive (whether intentional or otherwise) fits too. Though you might want to necro the "Live'er Worst" or "Internet Guilty Pleasures" threads for those instead.

It's good to see the developer responded appropriately, at least.

I wouldn't post this Jimpression for the game it highlights itself - while it is indeed an absurd thing found on Steam, it is not one that really stands out - but the mention of another Steam 'game' at the start of it got my attention:
https://youtu.be/2a-v7XO8jlo?t=16sSeriously? /me checks Steampowered Apparently so...
I know that this kind of thing has happened on Steam before, but come on. I thought the whole point of Steam
DefectDirect was to catch these kinds of things. WTF, Valve?

We don't know what it's called
We don't know what it looks like
We don't know who's making it
This part is true.
It's on Steam now
Even has a Community Hub. Share your screen shots!

Uhhmmm... right.I mean, I am a bit of a Puffy Flagon myself, and even took a taijiquan class at one point, yet I still find this ludicrous.

@coldandtired I thought the report was about the cornrow-looking hair...

It vaguely seems like qi gong translated to computer and converted into a game like program due to some combination of illegal drugs and mental illness.

This is from about a month ago, but I didn't think to post it here then.

Oh, look. It's a multiplayer mod of UnitZ.
In 2018.
Rebranded as a competitor to PUBg.
This can't end well.

Guys if you like videos like this, I got like 300 of them at https://www.youtube.com/user/Blakeyrat

One must wonder why, of course, given that you have under fifty subscribers and your videos have under fifty views, after making like 300 of them.
-
@pie_flavor I guess it's just because I'm so fucking ugly and stupid.
-
@blakeyrat Nah; Yogscast became popular because Simon was an idiot, and you don't use face cam.

It takes a very long time to grow a channel naturally without clickbait or advertising yourself. Blakeyrat is actually doing well as far as small channels go.
-
@lb_ No I'm not, but I also don't give a shit and don't make videos when I'm not in the mood to. Like... for pretty much the last 8 months, since I've been busy in my actual life. (Although I wanted to make a bunch last week, but I was too sick to talk on mic 15 minutes without sneezing or coughing. Feeling a bit better now.)
The channel would be a lot bigger if I posted on a schedule, like Ben's been trying to do.

@blakeyrat I avoided playing Gnomoria after watching it there, so it's delivering on it's promise of blakeyrat playing indies so we don't have to.

@sockpuppet7 I stole that title from Josh Reads Comics So You Don't Have To blog. Which is now just called Josh Reads I guess. Still a cute title.

I suspect more the latter than the former. I can just see it:
"Stand back, I'm warning you! I know Qui-Gon Jinn and Judaism! My hands are registered offenders! I have a black tie in Kerroppi and know the secret of Mai Tais! I'll use my Tang Soda on you! Hai-keeba!"
