Quoting: TharvasI hope there is an option to have the cached data in RAM if plenty to spare to not wear down and degrade the SSD too fast and only with the hotkey pressed the clip will be written to disk.

I just did some calculations and I'd need to be recording (at 12 Mbps) for 16 years non-stop to reach my disk's TBW limit. With my gaming usually limited to 1-2h a day, it gives close to 200 years. I think I can afford to have the background recording written to SSD. ;-)

BTW is it just me, or does changing the recording folder segfault Steam client for everyone?

Yes, finally! Thanks, Gabe! So many times I wished I had some background recording after witnessing a weird or funny moment in the game, but not enough to warrant setting up constant recording with OBS or some other tools that came and went in the meanwhile. Hopefully this one will work nicely with wayland (it must).

Might be wise to wait until the Summer Sale with this one.

If in a game scenario you bargain, AI can remember this the next time.

Holy shit, they just invented persistent game states! Now I understand why everyone is hype about AI. Sign me up!

Imagine this: you buy an RPG game and the NPCs view and treat you depending on whether you bought it for a full price or on sale. If you bought it at -90%, your reputation is minimal and everyone sees you as a pariah. On the other hand, if your reputation is balanced, every cosmetic DLC you buy makes you more of a celebrity in the game's world.

I like how they're labelling layoffs as "increasing resource efficiency".

Doesn't look much like a bean to me... :whistle:

What a nice idea. BTW do the skins fit both OLED and original SteamDecks?

Very decent price in the age of indecently priced games.

Quoting: williamjcmIn the case of point #2, I'd like to mention there's a British game that actually allows this: Talisman Digital Edition (by Nomad Games). You can buy DLCs for the game on Android, iOS, GOG, or Switch, and use them with the Steam version just fine, as long as they're registered to your Nomad Games account. And except for the Switch version (Nintendo doesn't like games accessing DLCs bought from outside Nintendo's system), same the other way around, too. Bought a DLC on Steam ? You can access it from the mobile game, or the GOG version.

And Valve has been okay with this for years already.

There is a lot of games that have in-game shop where you can redeem (externally acquired) codes for items or in-game currency, like Brawlhalla, Dead by Daylight, Dying Light, Smite etc. etc. I have no idea how they found that "problem".
