Annnd here's the article I got this from. Apparently it's a tribute to how Bill Gates credited him in Windows 1.0.

Just found this kinda funny.

STEAM FINALLY SEPERATED MULTIPLAYER ACHEIVEMENTS FROM SINGLE PLAYER I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO ACHEIVEMENT HUNT NOW

The hacker stole all my items in arcraiders as well as launched pubg for 1 minute. Putting the stolen items aside are they launching pubg for 1 minute to scout out if my account is sellable?

​

I'm curious to see which achievements are the rarest in your Steam library. Show me your rarest one! 👀

Why does this randomly pop up? Been showing at random times starting from today. Im on the beta client. Anybody else?

Via the Steam Community:

General

• Second round of Steam startup performance improvements following shipping of prior improvements in public client
• Fixed some cases the Steam Service Error dialog was showing incorrectly if you quit/restarted Steam quickly
• Fixed another error displaying dates for our friends in British Columbia.
• Fixed Steam Frame native-only content showing as installable on Windows.
• Fixed the layout of the volume slider in the voice chat context menu
• Output volume settings for friends in voice chat will now persist between Steam sessions rather than resetting on restart

Linux

• Fixed Vulkan games hanging after alt-tab.
• Fixed a bug that caused some native non-steam games to fail to launch.

Steam Input

• Fixed NCAA Football 27 not getting the game configuration applied at game startup

PyroWave is on the stable Steam client! I like it a lot, and I tested it by streaming from PC to my Steam Deck and outputting to a 4K monitor. I used a custom 240 fps lag test timer, a sustained gameplay test, and an image quality test. I also tested it vs Moonlight (Vibepollo/nonary moonlight fork). It's a lot of data, but here are the results!

Lag test (4K60 → Steam Deck LCD, median)

Gameplay test (FF7 Remake Intergrade, host logs ingested/aggregated)

Image quality test (VMAF 0–100, capture control = 94.5, same on both links)

Opinion based on the data and the "feel"

For ethernet - I prefer PyroWave even though the frame lag was close - the picture just looked a little smoother and a little better to me! But I was impressed by Moonlight's latency optimizations for HEVC.

For wifi - unless you're really confident in your wireless setup I'd recommend Moonlight's HEVC (or Steam's) for most people you're going to have a better time. I put a lot of effort into improving my wireless network, but I still couldn't get the latency as low as I'd like. But I still prefer the PyroWave picture on wifi

They removed the YouTube
achievements from Team Fortress 2 so people can actually 100% the game now.
I'm asking Valve to please look at Good Guy Nick and either remove it or change it so it can be attainable!

I know a lot of people have been saying that the Badge/Trophy should have the yellow color added back to it, so I came up with this rough mockup in GIMP.

The Right Trophy is the exact SVG shape and color gradient as pulled directly from Steam's website using Inspect Element.

The Yellow used is the same yellow as the center of the current/old 100% achievements badge but it gradients down the same amount of change as the blue that steam is using in the new trophy (top blue is #1A9FFF, bottom blue is #1465CF).

I also made slight alterations to the blue pillars in the svg, I assume Steam/Valve was going for the left and right being mirrors of each other but as you can see they are not the same shape.

Image 1 mirrors the left pillar onto the right side, and Image 2 mirrors the right pillar onto the left side. In both images, the Original Steam Trophy is left untouched and is Stock to how it is on the website.

Steam recently added custom screensavers to Big Picture and SteamOS Gaming Mode. That gave me the idea of having animated SteamGridDB artwork from my library playing while Steam is idle.

Steam Animated Screensaver lets you pick games, choose their animations and install them into Steam. You can prepare a bunch of games at once, change the artwork, add a cover next to the title and keep the original framing or crop to 16:9 or 16:10.

Steam handles playback itself. Once everything is installed, you can close the app and the screensaver works offline. No Decky needed. You’ll need your own SteamGridDB API key to download the artwork.

After installing it, open Big Picture, go to Settings → Customization → Screensavers and select it there. This is a screensaver for Steam, so Steam needs to stay open in Big Picture or Gaming Mode.

There are builds for Windows, Linux, Mac and SteamOS. I’ve mostly tested it on my Steam Machine and MacBook Air, so I’d really appreciate some feedback from Windows and Linux users. The video was recorded on the MacBook Air.

Contributors are welcome too. Animation smoothness could use more work, especially with SteamGridDB artwork that already looks choppy before you put it on a big screen.

I just received my Steam controller, and had to do the drop test…. I was expecting the Wilhelm scream as I’d seen in countless videos…. So imagine my surprise when….
