Don't get hopes up too much as its just references, had shit like this pop up before and never see the light of day, but this would be nice to see come to fruition.

I changed mine back.
/me? Aw HELL yeah
hopefully they make their link deletion a little less aggressive
it feels like every other link i send is either deleted or run through a filter that for some reason takes like 15 seconds to work
Keep in mind the chess tweet is from 2013. Was posted in reply to someone else talking about it, unrelated to today's stuff.
either that or at least show it to me that the link got deleted. every single time i have absolutely no clue it got deleted because i dont know what the hell site they considered "safe", and the friend has to say to me it got deleted
God I hope that's not going to be the next message noise, that sounds gross.
i remember going through a bunch of stupid shit because my website got blocked by the steam filter for no good reason. and in the end it still wasn't unblocked
Looks like someone already got it working.

two cans and a string would be better than steam voice chat. So anything is an upgrade
I feel like I don't have the technical vocabulary to articulate this better, but Steam just straight up 'feels' very ten-years-ago-y if you compare it to a more modern program like Discord. Can anyone help describe why that is? Like everything is just more static and slow and kind of clunky whereas Discord feels zippy, dynamic, modern, fresh.
With the 2010 UI update it felt like they kind of just slapped a new skin on the same codebase, I really hope any new UI refresh addresses that creaky feeling that the whole program has.
🤔
is valve crazy re-implementing this im gonna get scammed every day now by people masquerading as steam moderators because im such a simpleton
That was the entire reason it was removed in the first place.
somehow having steam chat be anything but extremely primitive just doesn't sit right with me
I'm pretty sure the current Steam chat is based on XMPP. It's a decent protocol but it has a few flaws. It'll be interesting to see if the new chat is a completely new protocol or it's just XMPP with more enhancements.
because the fundamental UX and design language of the application hasnt really changed in that entire time. The UI is very rooted in the dense, dropmenu driven style that was typical of win32 desktop ui design in 2008. The only real updates to steam in that time have been slight styling and coloring tweaks, while the actual layout and fundamental user experience has been left to languish.
Meanwhile, everyone and their dog has been iterating through multiple modern UX revisions, including every steam competitor, microsoft, and new chat programs like discord.
I feel like this sums up the 2000's vs the 2010's.
No, we all know the real reason was to spite weebs, furries, and bronies.
If the new chat/client is in Panorama, I hope it isn't like VGUI which the client is now, where it refreshes every frame (it's meant for game UI) and eats performance.
