Valve might also be looking for talent to hire with this. Which would be both cool and smart.

also the patch similar to this one was in Proton for years and is not known to introduce problems (before UFFD support was added in kernel 6.7 there was similar mechanism introduced with a custom patch in SteamOS and some custom kernels which Proton was using).

From how I'm reading the commit message, similar functionality seems to already exist in Proton.

Bloody shame the staff has to keep taking the L for what was a f-up by upper management.

We are only talking about roughly a week in the end of October of 2024. Which includes Halloween and the week leading up to Thanksgiving for the American market. I'd expect to see some drops in player count in general during that period.

There is also only 4 weekend days within that range discounting any special holidays.

None of this seems particularly exciting especially when you also consider the player count trend during the same period: https://steamdb.info/app/1172470/charts/#1y [External Link]

Seems like normal corporate face saving to investors to me.

This is not even remotely okay if true...

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? :grin:

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!
