10 Most USELESS Things to Have as a Gamer

There are some things in the world of gaming that we just really don't need. Here are some examples of useless stuff in gaming.

I actually enjoy using my Steam points to decorate my avatar with boarders and my profile with backgrounds. If they expanded the concept to where you could use your points for game discounts (although given how many Steam sales there are, that might be redundant, but you could use them on games that aren't put on sale often), it would probably get more love.

The only thing I have ever used my nearly 70k steam points on is giving awards to reviews, guides etc. Something I do fairly often which is how I know I have almost 70k points as you see your balance every time you buy an award.

[@times.new.ramen.]

You could actually do that many years ago

[@udalix]

Also SOOOO much easier to get to the points shop than made to believe here. Hover Store and there you go, you get instant access to it.

[@roberthoople]

Same goes for Ninendo's self-destructing points, except that Ninendo is constantly reminding you by email that you have useless points you can't really do anything useful with (partially because they've already expired by the time you go to buy a new game).

[@nv1573]

Yeah I got the points from my switch games, about 5 and I think I had like 2 dollar 50 off lol

[@TheColdOne]

It might only fit for people who have an unhealthy preference for playing games on the Switch. I don't get enough points to buy games often, but I've never had my gold points expire and have bought games under $10 multiple times (completely covered by my available Gold points). Usually these are indie games or anything around $20 or less on a steep sale.

Number six, the empty box, is so insidious it’s unreal, in my opinion. The direction the gaming industry wants/wanted to go is clear. They don’t want us to own the games or to be able to trade used games (see EA for examples), they ultimately want us renting/paying a subscription for the games we play. That’s where we’re headed and seeing Ubisofts business model beginning to fail gives me hope.

[@doarner]

Steam points were useful once when they could be exchanged for discounts, some events like Summer Sale were the thing if you had enough of those when you could exhcange them for a bigger percent less on any game, then Gabe realized that wasn't profitable and they turned into the useless points we have now. Good for decorating your profile if there is any good thing to buy, most if not all games have bad designs, you get better decoration on Pinterest.

[@chamoo232]

They probably removed any real money value that the points could have because every big sale event always end up with some exploits that people can abuse. The Spiffing Brit made many videos about those.

I actually love the concept of steam points. It has huge potential, and they've slowly added better things to it. Breakpoint already didn't get the love it deserved, and adding NFTs was like throwing extra dirt on the grave. It terms of the OG Xbox, it's sad to see it fade away. I wish they would bite the bullet, and re-release the console.

[@SevCaswell]

When a friend of mine died, I 'inherited' his xbox. (He had left it with me while he was in jail.) The only games I had for it were his of course and he was an fps nut and I am an RPG geek, so I never played it and decided to sell it when I was struggling for money. Something which I kinda regretted because I have kept all of the other consoles I have ever owned, but now I know that it would be broken now even if I had kept it I don't feel so bad. (I have some other stuff that belonged to him that was more personal too, so it wasn't the only reminder.)

When ubisoft added this nft thing into breakpoint, I was just starting to play that game and it was fun so I embarked on that train. But on the day they said they would be releasing the first nft, when I tried to take mine, I just couldnt, and the reason was because there was a LIMIT of only 2 thousand :) same next day whit the next equipment plus you had to have 600 hrs of gameplay or something like that..... I dont just uninstalled that whole nft bs but also lost my joy of playing that game.

I was taught not to look at my fingers when I type, but I'm only able to do that after years of practice and muscle memory. But how in the world does that vertical keyboard not slide all over the desk like you're playing a one player game of pong? I don't see suction cups, it must be quite heavy to even be useable, even to just keep it from rocking back and forth across the table as you type.

[@Greenwood4727]

Thanks for the reminder about the Xbox clock capacitor. Opened it up and it hadn't blown yet, wiggled it back and forth until it broke off, cleaned that part of the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol just in case. Reassembled it and it booted right up. Probably hadn't used it for 10+ years and have no plans to do so any time soon, but at least now it won't be bricked because of the faulty cap.

[@TheRealSpeedWolf]

I got mine in storage in its original box and only played it once when I bought it and left it in the box. It is brand-new, basically, just a broken seal when it was opened when you purchased it, but that sucks. Hopefully the capacitor is OK. Despite not using it for more than 20 years, I also have a PlayStation 3 in the box. I wonder if I have to check anything in that I only used it like twice.

I like how GOG does its launcher - you don't need to use it in order to play their games, but it does something useful like keeping your games updated. Buying the games separate from a launcher is user friendly, because it then requires the launcher to provide actual value beyond merely allowing you to play your game.

[@vidoxi]

the keyboard would actually be pretty useful to people who have carpal tunnel/repetitive strain injury. it's easier on your wrists to be at that other position. i switched to a vertical mouse and it helps a lot.

[@Greenwood4727]

I was trained as a professional typist, and i know touch typing so its not too bad an idea for that as for a normal typist you have to use certain fingers its just moving your hands from horizontal to vertical. so for professionals it did make some sense#

For lifetime subs, the last i knows STO was still doing it and it wasnt such a bad thing. LotRO had a lifetime sub sale way back,when the studio owning it sold it to the next. Both of them offer a monthly ingame currency in the value of around 5 dollars and other benefits.

[@Mandella5]

I get the feeling the gameranx crew don't care much for MMO's, and that's okay -- they are not everybody's thing. But, except for obvious duds like Hellgate, most games that went free to play kept subscription levels at varying degrees of being worth it. In both LOTRO and Secret World I felt I got my money's worth since my lifetime membership converted into full VIP subs. And while Secret World is pretty dead now (still online but not updating) LOTRO is still churning out new content and massive land areas.

I used the Steam version for Fallout 76 as soon as I could with the expansion Wastelanders. But there was still a use for the Bethesda launcher, and people would create a mule on their second account to be able to store (almost) unlimited items on that character. When Fallout 1st came out it people didn't really needed to get a subscription for storage that way as well. With the Bethesda launcher going away, this will be a lot harder for people to do if they only have one computer available. A second account was also handy to destroy items by activating PvP with your second account. This way you could just destroy the items you have build by shooting at it, and if you play alone you can only use the flamethrower trap to destroy items. Destroying items in your camp makes it possible to merge some items that could normally not be placed inside eachother, and these are some of the building tricks that we use.

[@shawnwolf5961]

Hi Gameranx I love your videos❤️

[@ChadFromSpace]

So I'm sitting at my desk watching this video. My girlfriend is in the bed playing on her laptop. We are both big fans of the channel. At 0:08 the most amazing thing that could ever happen, happened. You referred to multiple computer mouses as mouses. Not mice. For the last 3 years we have been regularly debating if several computer mouses are mouses, or mice. "I'm going to Best Buy to check out their mouses." This is correct. Mice are what you feed to your pet snake, or call someone to get out of your walls. She contends that I am going to look at mice. I paused the video and turned slowly in my chair, like the Chris Pratt parks and recreation GIF, and she already knew what was coming. Thank you gameranx. I wish I could like this video twice. Also, I just found out I have 165,114 Steam points. Go me. Edit: Further into the video, we were just at Game Stop a few days ago, Game Stop carries keyboards and MOUSES now by the way, and I bought the Bio Shock collection for the Switch. Got home and opened it, and was like, "those idiots! They didn't put the cartridge in the case!" Not to mention, they stuck that big ass Game Stop sticker right over the full game download text on the cover of the case. Why?!

Bro I have carpal tunnel, specifically ulnar deviation. That vertical keyboard look comfy asf

I love that picture of cyborg from Teen Titans you use lol.

I still have my O.G. Xbox that hasn’t been modded! In fact, just used it for a big party a few weeks ago. We played Fusion Frenzy, James Bond Agent under Fire and Battlefront 2! I guess I’m just lucky?

you can go to the point shop in steam by hovering over shop, then it will be in the things popping up so it's just 1 click away from the normal shop :D and I really like it, I got some backgrounds now that used to be pretty expensive and now we have animated stuff for the profile :)

I loved Hellgate London, but I never knew it was multi player lol

Hip shot dot is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. Most gaming monitors nowadays have that feature built-in. Mine does, but I never use it.

[@listerofsmeg884]

Mice or mouse's? Interesting on the bit about Steam points , the scary skull background you highlighted as something to buy is from the little known Rendering Ranger. Very random reference.

[@destoc5661]

Glad i watch to the end. That keyboard is for legends!

[@nuclearfish010]

You just hover over the store tab and the drop down menu has the point shop. It's not hidden at all

[@ninamoon4381]

I enjoy gamer score/ achievement levels. I think it's just the satisfaction of getting 100% on a game and not bragging about how high of level or score you have.

[@Double0Dann]

I got an OG unmodded Xbox and it still works great. Play it all the time hooked up to some HD cables!

[@shawnwolf5961]

have fun with your ticking time bomb :p Seriously it will go eventually, better get that checked out.

[@heatherperkins9737]

Power Gloves had an interesting secondary use in the late 1990s and early aughts as gestural MIDI controllers for electronic musicians. Check out Pamela Z or Letitia Sonami. The more you know!

[@ftniceberg874]

I would argue that was the unknown primary use of the power glove since it's stated use was utter garbage! 🤣😂

[@CaedoGenesis]

I'm surprised achievements and gamer score weren't mentioned while steam points were. Good list though! Love me some useless peripherals.

[@silverian]

Vertical keyboard would be very nice for fun weekend party competition. And few more drinks to add more to the challenge :-)

[@Duccy86]

Liked the video, but steam points are visible right in the shop tab, not that hidden and can be used to buy emotes and backgrounds as well as the seasonal badges, so free leveling up (not free, but you don't have to buy cards or anything because it's from the money you've spent on games)

[@Kraftyjoker]

Hey there, Mr. FALCON. YOU SAID MOUSES. I trust you. Now I have to figure this out... Keep being awesome, and force Jake to buy you some pizza for me, cuz I haven't figured that nonsense out either.

[@HelterSeltzer_the_one]

Gotta hand it to Bethesda for having maps in their physical copies of TES games. And Fallout 4 had a fun perk poster to hang up. Mass Effect being able to flip the cover paper to include FemaleShep. I wonder if any will continue that in the years to come. I doubt it but it was fun when it lasted.

[@brody810.]

Hey, steam point can be easy to find. It’s just in the drop down menu for the shop section.

[@Rosterized]

Idk about steam points, the avatar frames and backgrounds are pretty cool for customizing your profile

[@slavkun8706]

As a long time runescape player "Number Going Up" is my way of life

[@Trudorz]

"satisfaction from a number going up" reminds me of the past playing MMO's

[@bertrandcroft6644]

Totally agree about the Steam point topic. I 'got interested' in them after...15 years recently and gave my profile page a spa treatment, ho ho ho.
