There's a newly announced VR game called Boneworks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=352Hmh0b3Ps Interesting thing about this game is that it's in the Valve game master package on Steam. Seems like Valve may be buying these devs or funding this game.
Or wanted it for knuckles testing
Steam Community Eh?
Regarding Community Market, is it possible that illegitimate buy orders exist? (e.g. buying without funds in wallet) I was purchasing multiple copies at same price as 1000+ other buy orders, that item is moving only about 10 per day but I was able to get them in 2 days.
You can have such buy orders by placing them then spending away your wallet Also, buy and sell orders are weird when your currency isn't USD, if what you're offering converts to more than the highest buy order in USD by a fraction, but still rounds up to be the same as the highest buy order, you will be prioritized
i see. I'm sensing patterns of hundreds of buy orders appearing overnight, gating the item at a certain price point. Well I guess if it is not urgent it might be worth saving a few extra cents by lowballing.
I'm just now finding out about this, does anyone have any archives of this or ideas of what this means?
I assume it's the robot repair VR portal demo, and the stuff found within its files
@Jelman I thought this was some kind of sarcastic post?
Godamnit I meant to quote the Valve London Job offers. Does anyone have a record of those being online?
Let me see what i can dig up
Do you remember what types of jobs they were offering?
If I recall correctly it was the same as the stuff you'd see on their website normally, but on LinkedIn I think they were listing specific positions that they needed/prioritized more. The only one that stood out though was the London Level Designer, which is why I asked. I don't think there were any other weird ones like that. All of the other listings were in Seattle. The listing was pretty similar to the one on their site as well, just in London?
You can send me whose contact information specifically?
the person at valve that emailed me and probably listed the job also, has any one else seen this piece of concept art? I saw it while visiting valves offices a few months ago and thought the helicopter hunters looked really cool https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1169/3f1498fe-21ba-4411-a8bb-0d586afe29fb/image.png
Valve's offices are like "look at all the games you'll never get to play".
There was a bunch of really awesome concept art in that art book. I wish I took pictures of the rest of the probably Episode 3/Half-life 3 stuff. Lots of Simon Stålenhag-ish art of combine stuff. They didn't let us into the parts of the office with secret stuff going on, although you could kinda see in. I didn't know what they were working on though.

Level designer was the only one i saw
Does anyone here like the steam controller? I think its one of the best controllers I've ever used and is in my top 3, but my top 3 people might not agree with Xbox Duke Controller (6 face buttons are great for fighting games and feels great to play Halo 1 and 2 on) Gamecube Controller (Face buttons layout is fucking great, having sharp edges for the sticks feel great) Steam Controller (The inputs this allows is amazing, only downside I think is relearning aiming in shooters with a trackpad/gyro combo)
its my favourite controller! i still use mine a bunch, i love how versatile it is its such a perfect controller for emulators too, it can work with almost any home console you throw at it i've been wanting to make a retrospective video on it for a while now since i think the history of it is really fascinating, and it'd be interesting to take a look back at how the controller did at launch compared to now
It's definitely not my favorite controller, but I've never regretted the purchase. It mostly gets used to play strategy games on the TV, or as a handy general remote for when I'm watching media. I don't really use it for general gaming that much - though it is always handy to have an always-connected controller handy, especially when it's as flexible as the steam controller.
I love the steam controller for how much you can customise it, how much options it has and that you can basically use it with any game, even if it doesn't support controllers due to how configurable it is. I mainly use it for racing games or strategy games, as well as games where you see your character from the top (like the Sims, LOL, overcooked, etc). I don't like it for FPS tho, I feel better with mouse and keyboard on them.
GDC Conference started - new UI among others https://steamdb.info/static/img/blog/89/libraryoverviewgdc.png Steam Business Update at GDC 2019 · Steam Database
To me it seems the window itself is still the current vgui version but the library is using what the chat now uses.
Why it has ME Catalyst And Blops 4 on it tho
RIP Steam skins?
People are gonna hate on it but I'm SO happy to see Steam finally climbing out of that 2009-era style of UI design. The updated chat (while a bit buggy, and took a while to find its footing) was a really fresh breath of air and having the whole interface to match will be really nice. Just hoping that this is more than just UI update, and that they're focusing on good UX as well. Nothing is worse than a really pretty UI that feels like shit to use.
the new UI looks so good
The irony is delicious.
