Can't wait to dock my deck in valve's dock. :whistle:

Steam Mobile App continues adding new features to the Beta

Quoting: BlackBloodRumQuick question about the new app, did valve change the 2FA at all? or is it the same?

What I mean is, can codes using the old key, still be generated using third party apps? or did they change the keys/code method?
In the new app you can switch SteamGuard between the QR code (which is default) and the "old" 5-char code. No idea about that KeepAss, though.

To each their own, but my kids bought this game a couple months ago, based on the hype, and from what I see, they only played ~1h each before getting bored. Personally I did two runs and it didn't appeal to me at all.

Speaking of the steam reviews... I should probably buy it immediately, no? ;-)

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and some reflection on Steam Reviews

My approach to steam reviews is:
1. mostly ignore the positive reviews, maybe read one or two of the longer ones.
2. read a few negative reviews and decide if the issues they mention would be issues for me as well

The overall score may or may not influence my decision, but it's true that it serves as a preliminary filter most of the time.

Quoting: elgatilSince it comes from EA I have to ask, do we know if it has abusive micro transactions embedded?
You mean something like Pay2Cheat?

Sweet, my stadia progress won't be lost if I want to (or have to) switch to the steam version in the future. [edit] or maybe not... [External Link]

Crusader Kings III: Friends & Foes releases next week, other DLC prices going up

> However, the main game and the Royal Court expansion prices remain unchanged.

Most markets got a price hike for the main game back in May. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again soon.

Is there a way to filter out topics irrelevant to, nomen omen, gaming on linux? This one is more about developing on windows...

> "this is impacting us so heavily"

ok, but what if people who go to such extreme measures are from other poor countries that *don't* have regional pricing and instead are paying "regular" prices in usd or euro? and it's their only realistic alternative to just pirating the game?
