Steam users redeemed over $80 million in physical wallet cards in December 2023

Quoting: PenglingAm I the only person who can't even find the physical wallet cards anywhere? All of the places that they list as UK stockists don't seem to actually carry them!

Like so many geeks, I'm frequently told that I'm difficult to get gifts for on traditional gift-giving occasions (and I always say they don't need to worry about it, and on it goes :tongue:) - physical Steam cards actually being available would be kind of helpful.
Available at about every second store here in Germany.

I'd be curious about the real "printing money": psychical wallet cards not redeemed.

I don't think Linux can currently compete on that front, but I look forward to being proven wrong.
I'm surprised. Why would you think there could be a problem for Linux on that front?

Quoting: drjomsIs multiplayer important for you? If yes, just use proton. My experience with native cross play was BAAAD. Windows/Linux players desync all the time.(same players played l4d2 no problem)
Not at all, no.

I basically stopped multiplayer games somewhere early in the Call of Duty series, when they stopped offering server browsers where I could choose an environment where toxic behaviour would have led to bans. I don't want to spend my free time with being insulted.

Over a hundred bugfixes, including several notorious 20-year-old bugs
I'd love that, as a software developer!

Quoting: EikeDid anybody succeed in making Riptide run natively on Nvidia?
I used the same launch options than for Dying Light because the artifacts were the same and it works.

Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Which driver version are you using?
Sorry for the false hope then… I use the last stable 535.146.02 on 6.1.0-17.
Thanks for trying to help! The latest driver Debian is offering (on "experimental even") is 535.54.03, so I guess I'll save the launch option in Steam and revisit the game later.

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaHey! I had already figured out my workaround for Tekken. Now it comes already fixed. What am I supposed to do? Actually play now?
Silly ElamanOpiskelija. Linux users don't play games. They just tinker with getting them running.
So, pretty much like any PC game modders
Modding games is for wimps. We're modding operating systems!

I've been playing Opus Magnum. Wanted to use the Deck, but the controls don't work out for larger machines/programs.
