Quoting: mrdeathjrIts my impression or steam dont give cards for christmas this time ?

only give some stickers

:smile:
On the website if you go under your name -> badges there is a Winter Sale 2024 badge.

"How can I earn more cards? Steam Sale trading cards are awarded for purchases made on the Steam Store during the sale." So pay to win?

It also adds "Earn even more Steam Sale trading cards by crafting game badges." but I have no idea what that means. Craft them out of what exactly?

Gotta say I'm a bit envious of your Internet speeds.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault open source remake gets a first Beta release

I've been playing it from a CD-based installation for a few months now. I probably have a couple of game patches installed as well.

The last I played it in October the AI was a bit wonky but I didn't run into any level bugs that prevented me to proceed like I had with earlier builds.

Every time I think I want to play this I look at reviews that call it a backpack management simulator. I don't know what to believe.

OpenRazer v3.9 released with many new Razer devices supported on Linux

I've got a Deathadder Elite mouse and I appreciate the control that openrazer provides. IIRC the default RGB was a tad annoying to me. I also like the DPI changes. It can be done via buttons on the mouse too but I have more fine-grained control in polychromatic.

As for build quality mine has been running ok for a few years with no issues. So sample size of one.

Thanks for the link. Soldier of Fortune is very tempting. I doubt my Loki version launches any more :-(

The Elder Scrolls Online now Steam Deck Playable, to be fully Verified in "a future update"

I haven't played for a few years but it was fine when I did. I felt like it did the Elder Scroll's universe pretty well and had a reasonable quest to grinding ratio. I'm just not that into MMO's and lack the time to be a good party member. I tended to play solo which was fine as long as I was careful. I only grouped up to take on bosses.

7 Days to Die gets an experimental Beta for the 1.0 release

Quoting: EhvisI always played the Linux version (with Vulkan enabled). Haven't tried 1.0 yet because it is currently too hot in my computer room.
I tried with the opengl renderer and the video was very washed out and generally awful looking. I remember earlier Linux alpha builds had similar problems. It looks great with Vulkan. I hadn't tried that renderer in a long time. Played a few hours last night and it's working great.

So thanks for the tip.
