Steam Autumn Sale is live for you to empty your wallets, Steam Awards open for nominations

Man, I was just being a little cheeky and inadvertently created a discussion. Sorry about that.

Winter unfortunately has a lot of definitions, depending on context.

Astronomical winter is the period between the Winter Solstice and the March equinox, with the Winter Solstice being the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Then the meteorological definition varies wildly, for instance here in Sweden the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute defines winter as being started when you have five days in a row below 0°C, meaning some years certain parts of Sweden can effectively "skip" winter and go straight from autumn to spring.

Finally you have linguistic and colloquial definitions which of course are a lot more vague. For instance in Gothenburg we really just kinda decide when it is winter based on how we feel about the weather and how dark it is outside. For reference, today the sun rose at 8:25 and set at 15:34 giving ~7 hours of daylight.

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: CloversheenThat's a pretty cute backdrop! But isn't it a bit late to call it "autumn" in late November?
Winter doesn’t start for the US until late December.

Sad times, though to be fair, winter is slow here as well this year. :/

Quoting: NezchanBut I'm thinking Arcanum, which is at a temptingly low price of less than CDN $2 [...]

Good choice!

Neat! Though as someone with short thumbs I hope it isn't too wide given the joysticks are apparently in the middle of the device.

Steam Deck update has fixes for performance issues in long sessions and Remote Play Together

Not really a bug, but I wish it was quicker at "pausing" games when you hit the sleep button.

Sometimes I need to sleep it in a situation where I can't pause the game (by opening a game menu or w/e), and it can keep on going for quite a while before the deck suspends, ticking down timers etc.

Quoting: rek2This is 100% a false flag, [...] also I work on cybersecurity for 30 years this type of attacks are not done by your typical cybercriminal, DDOS+breach+DDOS etc... [...] in any case one way or another dont believe the HYPE.
Not trying to be mean, but you are just some random person. You might work in security, you might also not, your statement is basically "don't believe the hype, trust me bro" which... is kinda weak as an argument.

The sensible thing to do is to not believe any wild theories, just believe what we do know:

  • IA was attacked.

  • IA had a breach of 31 million accounts.

  • Breach was confirmed by Troy Hunt who has a good reputation.

  • A random twitter account claimed responsibility.

Quoting: scaineYeah, so they enter weirdly during the assignment, but when you exit that config box, they should show up normally.

That they do! Thanks!
