Larian also confirmed that no DLC expansion is coming for Baldur's Gate 3, it's a complete game and they will be moving onto their next game although Baldur's Gate 3 will still get patches to fix issues.
All I need from BG3 at this point is a photo mode, to be honest. There are too few opportunities to take good close up shots of a character without the UI getting in the way.
Hit F10 to remove UI?

I've been looking forward to this one ever since I played the demo. I have a short wish list, but it's on it.

This already exists within privacy settings under your profile, however there is no granularity at all. Your friends can either see what you're playing or nothing that you're playing. Same goes for game inventory and purchase activity.
I've asked the Steam support for this feature years ago. They said no.
You should be able to give different visibility to different 'friend'.

My close family can see when I game.
My work-friends shouldn't.

Such a simple but useful privacy feature..
I agree. PlayStation has allowed the concept of friends and close friends for a long time now as another industry example.

Helldivers 2 is almost exclusively the only game I've been playing since it came out. It's wonderful co-op. Will it hold my interest long enough to put as many hours as Deep Rock Galactic? Not sure. With over 40 hours of giddy fun with friends already, I'm at $1 per hour at this point. Money well spent. This game brings similar feelings and draw like the Halo days long ago. I'm like a kid while playing this game.

Due to my backlog, my wish list is less than ten right now. I figure I might be able to fake some hype and FOMO to actually play games I already own but have never even tried yet. I'm trying to do what I already do with books, which is wait to buy until I'm going to play it the same day. I have a long book wish list, but I do not watch for sales and do not buy in advance.

This is anecdotal, but nobody who has told me they play Nintendo games on the Steam Deck also told me they purchased those games. They did not. Nope, they didn't already have a Switch copy. They were willingly ripping Nintendo off because they had a distaste for them, and they "don't need the money." It is thieving out of hatred and an unjustifiable sense of deserving something for nothing. That attitude gets on my nerves really fast. Wanting something doesn't mean you deserve it. Grow up.

I'm not talking about the people who own a physical copy or digital license.

Is this related to under-volting for crypto mining?
