Steam rage
Healbadbad:
I like steam most of the time, because it is a pretty good system of managing your games. However, the moment something goes wrong, you're forgeted. If you happen to lose internet connection for any apparent reason, you can't play a single game you downloaded from them. Well why not play in offline mode?

Step 1 says you need to be online to go into offline mode.
Who the forget does that. Seriously.

I hate it when you are downloading a game, and you want to play a Steam game, BUT NO.
IT PAUSES THE DOWNLOAD, THEN IT PLAYS.

You just have to alt-tab and resume it :3
My steam wont even start right now because it says there is something wrong with my connection (250 mb/s and i was on earlier today) or something is wrong with the steam servers.

Pretty sure if you lose connection while steam is open you can still set it to offline mode
