A lot of native games, think I'll pick some up. Worth anyone's time for Mindustry alone.

I'm always amazed at people getting the survey regularly... I just had it on my desktop for the first time in living memory (admittedly mine's not that great!), at least ten years I reckon. During that time my desktop's changed MB's, drives, GPUs, CPUs at least three times. And I ran Steam most days for the whole period.
Valve appear to be banning games with AI art on Steam (updated)

This so called "AI" (true AI will never be realised IMO) has opened a very, very large can of worms. And these worms are never going back in the can. Chaos will ensue.

This is not generally a good thing, in my view. Jobs will be lost and the quality of human creativity will be diluted and swamped by a tsunami of this stuff.
Steam UI scaling should work even better in the latest Beta

I've set my scaling to 1.1 (1440p monitor), just enough to make reading "discussions" legible for these old eyes. Desperately needed!

I'm currently on holiday from Valheim (Fallout 3) and I don't want to fire up as I'm modded, I'll sort it all out when I come back to it. So has anyone noticed any "performance improvement"?
Steam gets overhauled with new overlay, Steam Deck big stable update

Quoting: fabertaweI really like the notes and browser in-game, it just came in very handy trying to work out how to do something while playing. Much better than quitting, looking it up, restarting etc.
For a lot of games, wouldn't alt-tab work for that?
Yes, for some. But not the one I'm currently playing :wink:

Steam will now scale better with KDE and GNOME

I run no DE and I cannot get Steam to scale with any of the suggested solutions. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I'm not running Beta... and an idiot! :unsure:
Huge Steam Beta upgrade with new overlay, screenshot manager & more

Quoting: rcritIt's the smaller fonts that is killing my aging eyes. There doesn't appear to be a font size setting, just toggle to scale to monitor size (whatever that means)
This is a constant irritation to me. And also that Steam steals focus no matter what. Drives me nuts.

Quoting: fabertaweEDIT: I don't have the patience for this so I overwrote two folders from backup, deleted the beta file in the package directory and started with "-clearbeta".
Did this resolve the issue?
Yes! Steam proceeded to download the stable and launched fine.
