Dear @steam

Any PC game marked at $69 or above will be added to my ignore list regardless of the "quality" of the game

Enough is enough

Hey, my friend from another country wanted to gift me undertale since it was deeply discounted during current sale but steam had to step in and block gifting since there was price difference higher than 10% and now I am wondering… who thought that it would be good idea?

My 8 favorite demos from Steam Next Fest, including Promise Mascot Agency, Wanderstop, Demon Tides, and more! The quality of these demos are getting better with each Next Fest and I found some truly great demos this time around. There's something here for everyone: 3D platformers, tactical RPGs, puzzle games, and even a cosplay game.

Good afternoon y'all.

I recently installed Steam on a laptop running a fresh install of Debian 12 & KDE Plasma. I've done this dance numerous times on other hardware however, this time when installing games through Steam they hang at 100% Downloaded & Installed and only complete when i pause them, one occasion two games simply wouldn't install and took me a full day fighting with Steam to finish them and clear the queue.

Steam can't seem to move files between drives (note: one drive is an SSD and the other is an HDD) or uninstall files and i assumed this was a permissions issue at first however, comparing the directory permissions from the laptop to my desktop (also running Debian 12 & KDE Plasma) i see nothing out of the ordinary.

Any suggestions are appreciated - Some things I've already tried.

• Purged steam from the system (including ~/.steam)
• Cleared 'Download Cache' in Steam settings
• chown & chmod (777) the common directories (~/.steam/steamapps/common)
• Waited numerous hours assuming the HDD was ridiculously slow - moving/deleting files in the CLi shell works without issue!
• Tried different download regions/countries

Is there a lightweight version of the steamstore? It's loading forever and feels very bloated to me.

It's kinda sad that a game you love can only be 100%ed once, forever. I propose an option (and it should really be optional) to reattain the cheevos for a game you've already maxed. The original achievement unlock info should remain, but if the in-game pop-ups could be set to begin again, and for the next unlocked cheevo to add a little star or a +1 to your cheevo icon or something (even if it's only visible to yourself), that would be awesome.

Anyone else wish they could 100% a game multiple times or am I just too autistic for my own good? 👀

Mod makers rejoice: The Team Fortress 2 SDK has arrived! We've updated the Source SDK with all of TF2's client and server game code. Change, extend, or rewrite TF2, and publish them as mods on Steam.

Anybody got recommendations for some good idle games?

so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

Hi all,

I am looking to get a second-hand SteamDeck at some point in 2025, primarily to play Skyrim SE with mods. I've played a lot of Skyrim on console over the years and am at the point where I want to play with a few mods.

I've seen that it's possible to mod Skyrim SE on a SteamDeck but I'm aware that there's a limit to the hardware and wanted to sense check with the community in case anyone has had any experience. I'm not interested in graphical mods, mostly expanded content and some quality-of-life mods which help with RP'ing and some immersion.

My question: does anyone foresee any problem with any of these mods running on the Steam Deck?

• Moonlight Tales
• Frostfall and Campfire
• Immersive Armors
• Immersive Patrols
• Cloaks of Skyrim
• True Thane SE
• Civil War overhaul or Open Civil War SSE
• Vanity Mirror SE (or equivalent)
• Multiple Followers

I'd also maybe be looking into a player home.

Any help appreciated, ta.

If Linus were to visit Mount Everest, he'd reach base camp, spend the next day criticizing the sherpas, calling them foolish for taking the well-established path, and insisting that a direct line to the summit is obviously the best option.

Bazite has solid onboarding, hardware support (including Nvidia and AMD), and, dare I say, even printer support. All things he complains about in this video. But then again, what do I know? I'm just a sherpa.

Hi all, I played the shadow of the tombs raider back in August and got to about 25% of it. Today I wanted to play it and thought I'd be able to just continue, but I was wrong. First, steam was saying the game was "out of sync" so I clicked it and it said it was "up to date". Launched the game and it's almost from scratch, like 1 %, so me panik. Looked into the saved data files and they have all these .dat files with one that is a cloud one. Looked online and found a post where someone said I can download my old saves and add them to the folder. Sure enough, downloaded the .dat files for the correct date, but they have reaaaaally long names that have the paths to where they were saved then at the end of each name was the correct name (blahblahblahlinuxsomethingsave206.dat for example). Tried two ways,

One: removed the existing .dat files and replaced them with the ones I downloaded (with their long names)and launched the game. Same thing. I was watching the new ones get created and take over the old ones. Nope, still 1% in the game.

Two: same as one, but I renamed the files to match the existing ones which I removed and replaced. So, save202.dat, save206.dat, profile.dat.....etc Same thing. Am I doing this wrong? How do I go about it? I really don't want to start over on the game. I run Linux, if that makes any difference. Thank you in advance.
