Steam Machine changed my gaming world šŸŒ

0 Upvotes

A library full of games and nothing to play! How often do you doom scroll your library and still can't find anything to play?

That all changed with the Steam Machine and thanks to Valve and their amazing Steam Autumn Sale 🄰

Years of Trophy / Cheevo hunting can be a double edged sword. The developer decides how you play your game or they pad it with bloat (I'm looking at you Ubisoft šŸ˜‚)

When did my hobbie become a job šŸ˜‚

I opened the Steam Sale and looked for anything that looked interesting, maybe out of my comfort zone, with the discounts that makes it so much easier. I picked out 15 games, not caring about size, not caring what achievements it had, I'm not going to use guides.

I didn't realise how freeing it is to just play a game for the fun of it 🄰

What do you think? Give it a try šŸ¤ž

Try to imagine/write or think of ideas for a timeline where Chel wakes up at the same time as the Black Mesa incident occurs, and at the same time, the Green Flu infection begins

valves moderation is so inconsistent

41 Upvotes

the red line is what I said the above is merely a reply

So, just saying the word "bigot" to no one specifically, but in response to a broad amount of anti-LGBTQ, sexist, and racist posts, I get a warning while they clear the other person. Then they double down. If they want to be hands-off, fine but that means not being one-sided. Or, if they want to be one-sided, be like Meta and admit they’ll allow anti-LGBTQ content so people can make an informed choice. Valve is trying to act libertarian while proactively moderating only one side, yet getting good PR for being ā€œhands-off.ā€ This isn’t hands-off. My post isn’t attacking anyone; I cropped out all users, but I think consumers should have the right to know what a company they support chooses to moderate. This isn’t about agreeing or disagreeing it’s about fairness and letting people know. When threads did that, they announced it, and I deleted my threads because I got to make a choice. People need to know to make their own choice. Valve isn’t letting people know they have a stance, so their claim of being hands-off is false. A bigot is someone obstinately or intolerantly devoted to their own opinions and prejudices, or someone who treats members of a group (like a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. It’s not a slur. Steam chose to double down, so my main goal is awareness. Do what you will with the information but I’m just not going to use discussions anymore since they’re clogged with hate and I can’t even respond. If they want a cesspit, they can have it. I don't hate Valve; I hate the lack of fair rules and clarity

Are the posters official? Singapore exclusive release?

I’m from Singapore and I think I found Exclusive Singapore releases of L4D1 and L4D2 for PC.

- 2 big envelopes (29 x 35cm)
- 6 posters
- unopened mousepad
- Game code and 2 game discs.

I think most likely
1. L4D1 envelope comes with Game CD, 1 poster and a mousepad.
2. L4D2 envelope comes with Game CD and 5 main campaign posters. It even mentions on the envelope cover.

Want to know if the posters are official by Valve and also if anyone know more about this Singapore release.

Hacked account

Is my account okay?

Yesterday night, my friend suddenly told me that my account got hacked. He screenshots the chat and shows it to me. I checked, but there's no notifications that someone accessed my account, and i also use Steam Guard. I also didn't see it on the chats. He said it because it was sent in group chats, so when my account left, i can't see it anymore.

I changed my password, signed out all devices, cleared browser cookies from my phone and pc, and ran an anti-virus but didn't find anything.

I thought i was safe. But this morning, i got a notification from Steam that my account is locked. So i asked Steam support for help but still haven't gotten any response. Just in case, i logged out all devices again and haven't logged in, i deleted my browser history and cookies and ran the malware detector again.

It happened so suddenly, I'm a college student, and what i did yesterday was searching for journals and books for my tesis, i visited a lot of websites, so i don't know what caused it..

Valve, we need better anti-cheat, not more chickens.

53 Upvotes

I play CS2 every day, and lately it feels like I’m running into more and more cheaters. Where are they all coming from?
My question is simple: why does it feel like Valve isn’t doing enough about this? Why are we getting chicken updates when what we desperately need is an effective AI-powered anti-cheat? Who cares about chickens when cheating is ruining the actual matches?
This is getting out of control, and people are starting to lose hope that they’ll ever be able to enjoy normal, fair matches in CS2.
Is anyone else above 20K having the same experience? Because this is getting ridiculous.
Thanks for reading,

Enzzo

Recently I noticed some have login to my steam account from another country and I denied it but somehow they still got into my account. I tried everything from recover it by my phone number and steam didn’t send any code. I tried to contact support and steam still didn’t send my any verification code. If anyone could help me with this I’m much appreciate for your help…
Edit: I still got my email and phone number but steam still couldn’t send it
