This is a two-panel edited meme satirizing public perception of Steam Support's handling of hacker reports. In the first panel, a figure with the Steam logo as a head is labeled 'STEAM SUPPORT' and is shown shooting a man sitting on a couch labeled 'HACKER'.

The meme is divided into two sections. The top section features a white background with bold black text that reads: 'Steam Support finding the person who hacked my Steam account'. The bottom section is an animated scene depicting a character wearing a red cap lying on a table with visible blood stains, suggesting injury or defeat. A large hand, dressed in a white sleeve and red glove, is shown holding a black gun pointed towards the character, implying a violent or decisive resolution.

This is an animated gaming meme that uses a fight sequence from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen to joke about recovering a stolen Steam account.

This meme uses an absurd over-the-top retaliation premise for comedic effect. The top section shows a fake Twitter/X exchange: a user named Chris brags about hacking a stranger's Steam account, taunting that the victim will lose access to their account. The verified Steam Support account replies, threatening the hacker by sharing an aerial photo of a residential neighborhood implied to be the hacker's home, warning it will be destroyed imminently. The bottom section features a screenshot of Peter Quill (Star-Lord) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, labeled 'Steam:' above his head with the text 'I know...' below his face, referencing the popular reaction template where Star-Lord reacts somberly to serious news to imply Steam genuinely intends to carry out the extreme threat against hackers. The joke plays on the idea that Steam has far more power and over-the-top willingness to punish account hackers than expected, prompting viewers to joke about logging out of their own Steam accounts to avoid associated trouble.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text dialogue and a lower image. The top text reads 'Hacker: "I have all your passwords"' and 'Me: OMG, thank you! What are they?' Below is a photograph of Kermit the Frog, a green Muppet character, standing at a wooden table with a white rotary phone. Kermit is holding the phone receiver to his ear with his right hand, his left hand gesturing, and has a cheerful, surprised expression with wide eyes and an open mouth, as if engaged in a phone call. The humor comes from the unexpected reaction of 'Me' thanking the hacker instead of being scared, implying forgetfulness about passwords, paired with Kermit's expressive, animated demeanor fitting the lighthearted tone.

This two-panel meme uses Patrick Star from *SpongeBob SquarePants* to satirize common user attitudes toward Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). - Left Panel: Patrick is depicted as a focused, competent scientist in a lab coat, using a microscope and taking notes, paired with the caption **2FA when I try to login**. This represents how many users view 2FA as an unnecessary, overly complex obstacle when accessing their own accounts, seeing it as a hassle rather than a security benefit. - Right Panel: Patrick is shown in his classic dumb, confused state—with a plank of wood on his head, holding a hammer, and poorly attempting to saw a piece of wood—paired with the caption **2FA after I got hacked**. This illustrates how users suddenly struggle to understand or implement 2FA properly *after* their account has been compromised, despite previously dismissing it. The humor stems from the relatable double standard of ignoring critical security measures until it's too late, exaggerated by Patrick's contrasting personas of fake intelligence and genuine incompetence.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from the US sitcom *The Office*. In the top panel, character Dwight Schrute smiles, with overlaid text labeling him as "Me opening a ticket with steam support", and another text box reading "Support resolving the issue within 5 seconds". In the bottom panel, Dwight looks shocked and panicked as he checks his watch, with the expletive "F**k" overlaid at the bottom. The joke plays on the common expectation that video game platform support teams are very slow to respond, so the unexpectedly fast resolution from Steam Support leaves the user shocked and caught off guard.

The joke plays on the common breakup line 'it's not you, it's me' (the original title of the meme), framing the act of refunding an unenjoyable Steam game as an awkward, guilt-inducing breakup where you do not want to offend the game or its developers.
