what kind of sane person is gonna leave a steam page open for over a week, though?

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 days ago

I can see it easily being accidentally left open if you have a busy desktop and don't regularly restart your PC

In my case, i use multiple workspaces. Had a workspace for gaming set up and left the window on the store page. Had a busy week so I didn't game. I usually don't turn off my computer because I contribute to Folding@Home at night. Week flies by and I start to wonder why my ram is full and investigate :D

I mean.. I often open steam for something and then kind of forget about it.

What kind of sane person is gonna debug and track down a memory leak, though? Just buy more ram
