Quoting: Liam DaweNot quite. I just read on Ars [External Link], that seems to indicate it will expand to include more sites based on who follows them. Will be interesting to see how they handle that and if we get included somehow...

"Any [press] outlet could show up to players who want to follow that outlet and receive that news. We need a system that can support any language. All six current outlets [in the existing Steam Library] only serve a particular audience, and they only speak English. Soon, any outlet can show up in there based on who's following them, and then we can support different languages."

Seems like they will allow players to mark/unmark certain RSS feeds, probably also add their own, and then sort the news, attaching them to a given game. This may work but it could also be easily abused. Gotta wonder what precautions they prepared for this. Also I think that publishers may be quick to protest it, since some game pages could easily get overflown by the usual drama and negativity not necessarily related to the game itself.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI hope it will let me disable that "recent news" section (or it will be gone altogether), as all that gets filled with is "quality journalism" from RPS and the likes.

IIRC the auto-aggregation of news will be totally gone in the new client, because it inadvertently promoted Epic news in the recent times.

Quoting: tonRI gonna say I'm fall in love with "Automatic Show", it's have very huge potential. The best alternatives to watch the games' gameplay/trailers and at the same time avoid/evading some bias youtubers/streamers/news/shill-curator bullshit-ness.

It's definitely my favourite project of the three. I hope it will become a monthly/weekly thing. Thought it would be cool to be able to enlarge the video without losing the clickable game banner.

I like the idea of Steam Labs. My suggestion: broadcasting from Linux.

Well, I'm still waiting for Valve to be ready for supporting VR on Linux.

Hopefully this means remasters are in the plans, not just the usual copyright mumbo jumbo. Doesn't concern me much as I have already bought them, I still hate it when a game just disappears from the store without warning.

Doesn't mean they won't be put back up, though. They removed Castle of Illusion in the past and now it's back in the store (apparently the licence has expired and then was renewed).

Happy birthday, GoL! Let's see what the next decade brings upon us. ;-)

Quoting: fagnerlnThey should switch the primary mint to Debian, LMDE is in good shape and off the canonical craziness.

I've used Mint for some time, switched to LMDE pretty early in the process, and never looked back at the ubuntu edition, which didn't work so well for me anyway.

Snap is a good idea on the surface, but it doesn't work that well. It might be useful for distributing some exotic apps that need specific dependencies (games come to mind...) but in everyday usage it's just too messy and feels bloated.

It's definitely the worst and the most confusing sale event I can remember, and that wishlist conundrum only underlines it. I hope the cards will return for the next sale, I have like 30 badges to craft, waiting.

Quoting: cprnI find my 360 controllers not working unless I run the game from Big Picture. No idea why there's actual difference.

Try going into controller settings and *disabling* "xbox cofiguration support", that usually helps.
