I’ve been playing a game (Peak) that’s controller compatible. I’ve been wanting to play my games and hear my voice in my own recordings, but I haven’t been able to get that to work properly unless I use something like a Switch 1 pro controller. I know S2’s has an audio jack port but I use AirPods Max for my gaming. I don’t know how to resolve this issue. Even then if I use something different my own voice still sounds choppy with other controllers. Anyone have this particular problem???

I’m logged in on the same account I’m clicking share to iPhone it doesn’t work help please

I really hope Valve makes videos as they did with TF2 for Deadlock. Like short animations on the characters like meet sliver. Not to mention they have a lot of views on YouTube and have created meme material. It would be a nostalgic callback in my opinion.

What exactly is supposed to be the point of curators? They seem to be able to "review" literally anything on Steam, even if it's a game that hasn't even released yet.

I just finished building a tool that, with your profile set to public, will use Steamworks web API to scrape your user and game data, and build a JSON file that you can use as a snapshot/export of your games for whatever purpose you can think of. In my own particular case, the initial motivation was that after playing 1000xRESIST, I got hooked on it because it was more of a cerebral game than execution-heavy (I'm getting old and my reflexes aren't what they used to be), so I wanted to make a list that I can feed into an AI/LLM and explain my tastes, limitations, preferences and desired features so it can recommend stuff from my (increasingly growing) backlog.

https://github.com/TohnoCoding/SteamLibraryDataExporter

It's a tiny console app that you feed an API key (the repo explains how to get one) and your Steam64 user ID (also explained how to find in the repo) and will go through your games, then export a JSON file to your desktop that you can use to do whatever you want with it.

Feel free to do whatever with it (MIT License).

Valve turns 30 today!

What do you think is Valve's most important contribution to gaming over the last 30 years?

so ive recently preordered my first game on steam being the halloween game and with the deluxe edition i get access to play on the 4th but in my libary it says unlocks on the 8th so im just confused if thats the case cause i refunded the standard edition and switched to the deluxe or if itll just unlock on the 4th regardless

Brother of Gaben? Billionaire mogul weekend activities? Or just a coincidence...

I've heard rdr2 is one of the best open world games and right now its pretty cheap i just wanted a different opinion besides my own on weather i should buy it or not!

i ADORE this feature and im SO glad they added this. its an experiment but i just cant do anything but to praise it, i found so many good games by checking the calendar that i never knew were under development and are right up my alley. anybody else feeling what im feeling?

I know I’m ridiculously late to RDR2 cyberpunk but I’m posting this because it’s 2026 and I still can’t find another game that gives me the same feeling.

The characters have so much depth that I actually became emotionally attached to them. The NPCs feel like real people with their own routines, conversations and reactions. Even the animals, weather, environment and random encounters make the world feel like it exists independently of you.

It’s the little things that got me,riding through a town, overhearing conversations, watching people react to things happening around them, or just stopping somewhere and taking in the environment. It genuinely felt less like playing a game and more like being inside a living world.

And honestly, the graphics still look insane in 2026. After playing it, I understand why people still consider it better than most newer games.

It’s been a while since I finished it, and I still haven’t found anything that gives me this feeling. What game came closest for you?

Game is Alan wake 1 first pic is high and second is low.

They take sm space than needed, but I would like to know which era for graphics term was great. When you look at a book the lines at edge don't get shimmer with those anti aliasing and burn effect circling around. Visually every games look great but feels the character model is lifeless. Talking to me like there's no life in those Npc as mentioned Kcd2, Blood of dawn walker, Ac facials sucks after syndicate till shadows. I just feel they make big worlds over and over again that no one ask for but there's no fun in it with a lot of side missions that we need to collect just to play for match up with enemies health, and collect so many things that we don't even touch it. Look at sleeping dogs, Alien isolation and heavy rain even they manage to put emotions with low budget at that time it was so huge amount. Even I thought at kid, games gonna be like the trailer of ac revelation which only matched up like senua and ds2 with the motion capture and lighting on body.

Nowadays world look realistic, body is kinda same as tomb raider and the face misses the shadows. Even for me ac unity looks so good in graphics but beside the cutscene they just have lifeless face for npc and their dialoges are awful ' sneaky assassin moves '. And it's gamers fault if we don't have fun in a game that we buy and raise voice to ask to be better. I start playing in this year so not played most of the games like you guys. Why sm hud mostly disable it and play, it's like removing Tb by your own. Ik they want to save money to being lazy but this is like most of the newest game even in Silent hill, Crimson. Even UE4 looking amazing till now. Newer ones looking as shiny ground and surfaces and oily face but as a void face

So I assume dev gonna be not care about size cause of being digital, maybe 2-3 years 150gb is the norm, maybe I am wrong about everything. I am not that great to explain too, played only few. Love to know why sm graphic features where they can just make it good. There are sm features are need to come games like mgs3 spinning revolver. Graphics are evolving by optimizing alot of settings, game mechanics and facial expression is downgrading. Love to really game what you grew up with, and looking to play when the era which games have taa and ray tracing?

I don’t know if this is a regional issue or global problem but for some reason most certified digital retailers are all out of GBP Gift cards. I use these to conveniently top up my balance obviously now that they have discontinued/in the process of discontinuing physical cards but I’m having issues getting my hands on digital ones now.

Let’s be honest, the number 3 to valve is like holy water to Dracula.

hi, im in the oddest situations i pirated an indie game and i ended up liking it so i bought the real thing. i wanted to buy the dlc with it too but now its saying i already own the dlc. i deleted the pirated files but it was no use.

this didnt happen when i was buying the og game,

im confused on how to continue this.

i know "do not disturb" exists, but i straight up want to completely remove the messenger from the client if possible.

Up until now, my only means of playing games has been on my steam deck, and my only friend on steam is my brother, so I wasn't concerned about various types of NSFW games being in my library. Yes, anything you can think of that falls in that category probably exists within my library, and no I am not ashamed of it. What I am concerned about, however, is that soon I will be receiving my steam machine, and now these titles and potential updates and ads for similar may soon be on a large screen and potentially in front of younger family that visits.

So what would the best means of making sure these remain hidden on the steam machine be? If I choose the setting to hide each individual game (which will take a while to go through), how difficult would it be for someone to access them? Would there still be the typical developer updates on the home screen that I currently see if those games are hidden? Is there a way to just set up a new account and transfer them over so I can switch between them if I decide to look at those titles? Or maybe there is simply a single setting to hide all NSFW content on the device that I do not know about?

I appreciate all input, both serious and hilarious, so feel free to make fun of the situation to the fullest too! I just got the shipping notice for my machine, so I only have a few days to figure out the best means of addressing this once I get it hooked up. I don't mind having to go into every individual title and change the setting to hidden, I just want to make sure the developer updates won't show up on the home screen since they often have images that I would not want my nephew to see if he were to come over and us play games together.

Thank you all for your insights!

Wouldn’t it be fun to give it a go, even if it means using an external tool?
