i meant steam in the title fyi

hello, so today, i opened my computer today to find tf2/ steam open and running so i hit the quit button but then my computer ran out of power while it was quitting. later, i tried to reopen steam but it is "paused," for lack of a better word, at the login screen. eg. connecting to steam account: xxx. if anyone knows why/ how to help me please post in the comments. thanks

go to task manager and end the steam.exe process. reopen steam as administrator.

Learn the apple equivalents

I have never owned a apple product nor have friends who use them, and I know (hopefully) that the terminal is used in around the same manner

pretty sure activity monitor + quit process is kinda like task manager, if that helps.

also if you're playing tf2 you really should install windows on a partition instead of using osx or w/e, add me on steam if you want and i can walk you through it if needed.
