thantik , in Happy Birthday to Steam as it turned 20 today

As of 11:55am EST today, my account still hasn’t turned 20, so I’m guessing they actually store the exact hour/minute/second that you signed up for your account too. I think I used to get home from school around 2:45pm, so I gotta keep checking.

ShadowRam ,

Your profile literally says the hour/min you signed up.

Just click on you 19year badge.

thantik ,

Thx, Apparently I signed up way later in the day than I thought! I gotta wait until 11pm, lol - damn it, I wanted to show off my 20yr badge in a screenshot today. :D

Kyoyeou ,

Would be curious to see it!

They keep adding more microtransactions, that’s for sure.

Yes, I too play Path of Exile.

Cabeza2000 ,

The most fitting game for this post. I could play it for another 3000 hours and still be bad at it.

I am so verified right now

Heaven is a temporary afterlife that is long enough for you to play through your backlog, as the afterlife ends when you decide you’ve played enough and want to be done.

So by the name of GabeN, let thine backlog grow full and large! Enrich your divine recreation before your final rest.

MentalEdge , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yes. It’s very convenient.

But it needs more config options.

You can’t set a recording resolution, it seems to max out at 1080p. On my 3440x1440p ultrawide I get 1920x804 as it fits the ultrawide aspect ratio into the horizontal resolution of 1080p.

It only uses h264, new cards support AV1 so would be nice to actually use that.

stevestevesteve ,

I was going to ask about resolution as I haven’t tested it myself. Considering my screen is 32:9 (7160x3840) I’d be pretty disappointed with a 1920x540 recording

why would they release a feature this half baked… they are aware that wide screens exist right?

It’s been plenty useful already for throwing together tiny clips that I’d need to transcode into small resolutions for sharing with friends anyway.

It’s essentially set up to make tiny very shareable files that discord and any other chat apps won’t have trouble with. You can even share them directly in steam chat. In that context it makes sense for it to fit larger resolutions and aspect ratios into a smaller maximum.

It would be nice with some additional options, but it’s quite convenient already. I’ve just left the background recording enabled all the time.

If they add increased resolutions, and bitrates to match, I would still want the option to export into clips at low res for sharing. Until now I’ve had to handbrake my OBS recordings to something I can actually send over to friends.

ATM I’m still firing up OBS for full quality recording, but steam recording has been extremely neat for sharing smaller more spontaneous moments.

homicidalrobot ,

It’s for Deadlock playtesters. I’m only kind of joking, but the amount of people who don’t have a good recording software setup or that rely on windows key + alt + R recording is staggering. Game bar recordings are notorious for cutting the beginning or end of clips off.

You’re joking but this is literally a plan I have

aciDC14 , in Until Dawn will also require a PSN Account to play on Steam. I think we already got the message, every playstation game will now require a PSN account

Man, i’m so glad i didn’t waste money buying a PS5 for that one Ratchet-Game.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I’m honestly probably going to sell mine once I finish Dad of War. Which was also on PS4.

unreasonabro , in PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

i think he underestimates my intention to never do that

I have enough games in my steam library that I could never buy another game, and be perfectly content. I’m quite willing to wait as long as it takes for a game to not only be brought to steam, but to get a major sale or be featured in a game bundle. Only difference is that if it takes too long, I’ll never get it at all because I’ll have better options.

So, just Rimworld then.

Honestly though, same. I was really interested in Ghosts of Tsushima when it launched. Now years later it’s finally on PC but it costs more than I usually pay for new games. Fuck that. The only way I’m buying a PS5 is if a friend wants one and is willing to let me get it, play FF7 & 16 then sell it to them in a few months.

So, just Rimworld then.

Not rimworld specifically, but when I was younger I played the hell out of my games. I would replay them over and over, finding every secret. Big RPGs already take a long time to beat, but I would do multiple playthroughs as different classes and play styles.

These days I have less time and way more games. There’s a part of me looking for an excuse to not buy any interesting new game because I feel guilty about all the great games I own and haven’t played, and the games I have played I’ve only played once and haven’t “finished”.

forgotmylastusername , in PSA: A website called SteamHistory enables stalkers through Steam mass data harvesting. Here's how stalkers found me despite creating a new, private, anonymous account.

Isn’t this generally how the big tech firms generate dark profiles on people? Of the people who don’t explicitly exist on their database. Take the intersection of data from family events. The people not in their database of known profiles are also likely family. Do the same for friend events. Take the intersection of those peoples interests. You’ll be knowing a lot about someone who never told you anything about themselves.

You can run but you can’t hide. Crazy times we live in.

Thcdenton , in Sony does not remove purchase restrictions from Helldivers 2 on steam and also adds them to Ghost of Tsushima
merthyr1831 , in Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly

It’s no accident that many of these games are releasing their anti-features only after millions have purchased them and missed their return window.

EA did the same recently with Kernel anti-cheat in games they haven’t serviced in years, games that actively cannibalise their latest titles!

Less players means less server running costs. Helldivers 2 might turn back or end up with this disastrous policy (for consumers) but until we have regulations on this, many companies will see the benefit of rugpulling software.

barooboodoo ,

Supposedly steam is allowing returns no matter the playtime.

merthyr1831 ,

that’s good, surprising though because technically it’s not their policy

joe_cool ,

I guess they don’t like being sued. And I think they will just take the money for the refunds from Sony’s payout.

This doesn’t concern me. But holy hell, I’m getting hard Uplay flashbacks.

ares35 , in I'm mildly proud of how I categorise my games on Steam and interested to see others' methods

mine would go something like:
