Previously a family member could only play your shared library if you weren’t playing any game.

With this new steam families, they can play any game except the game you’re actively playing (unless the family collectively owns multiple copies). So if me and my son want to play Lethal Company together we need two copies.

This implementation of steam families has been available in beta for several months. This is just the non-beta roll-out of the feature to everyone.

Glad it helped!

Tbh I think I’ve only run into that maybe once. But very few of my games require keyboard, so maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Steam versions of games tend to run a little better, and also benefit from things like Steam distributing pre-compiled shaders for the games. There are also some cases where non-steam games will require you to install specific windows components through wine for the game or in-game media to work.

Overall Fallout 4 should work, but without actually trying it I can’t say if it will work without tinkering or not.

Edit: did some searching, sounds like it mostly works, but you may have to manually install xact_64 to get sound working.

Obviously there have been major improvements over the past 80 years, but that’s still considered the first neural network. The need for multi-layer neural networks was recognized by 1969, but the knowledge of how to do that took awhile to be worked out.

Fun fact, the Perceptron is basically the first machine learning AI, and it was invented in 1943. It took a long time and many advancements in hardware before it became recognizable as the AI of today, but it’s hardly a new idea.

I think Overwatch 1 at it’s peak could be compared to CS2.

Right, that’s why the collective play amount is ~140k when the steam daily is only ~30k

That’s honestly not that good, when games like CS2 are regularly pulling 2million+.

According to 3rd party websites (that may not have accurate estimates), Overwatch 1 had between 600k-1mil peak concurrent players through a lot of 2020/2021. One of those same websites now says that OW2 had about 140k peak players today when combining all players on all platforms. So it would seem there’s been a huge drop in players.

They have a 1 time $6 payment for GoG access, which isn’t too bad. I’m loathe to agree to a subscription payment for anything else these days, but a one-off payment isn’t too bad if it’s something I’ll use.

Innoextract sounds pretty good, I’ll definitely keep that in mind for non-steam games in the future.

Sounded like they ran fine from the moment the updated version was released. Glad valve is finally getting them updated, that meme about how doom will run on everything except steam deck was a little painful.

I’ve heard of it fixing various sleep related audio bugs. Overall it’s a great plugin and I recommend it to everyone.

For clarity, my understanding is that landlords in the game basically live rent free. Some of the buildings spawn with low numbers of apartments, so if you had a building with two apartments, 1 would be a landlord and the other tenet would pay x2 the rent.

So effectively they’re changing from having local landlords to instead paying rent to a distant landlord.

That was a good investigation and explanation about a weird number of up votes. Thanks for explaining it.

Truly the end of an era

The steam recovery media let’s you reinstall just the OS while preserving user files.

As long as you haven’t done anything too dramatic like converting your file system to BTRFS

Edit: This will downgrade you to a much older version of SteamOS though, from which you would then have to update back to current. This can be a problem because some early issues (like the OLED deck not being able to connect to wifi 6E networks) can make it frustrating to update.

Presumably the hand grips on the deck keep enough of a gap under the deck to keep this from being an issue.

Clearly this shows that North Korea is the peak example of a successful society, and that the rest of the world should aspire to mimic them in all their wise practices.
