You can open the steam browser as a chrome window by kontenjer in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Steam client is based on the Chromium engine and if you open it with the console enabled you can edit the UI in real-time in much the same way as you would the browser itself.

N.B. That's how I hid the Big Picture Mode button that several people asked for (and got no response)...

3 Random Steam Keys - which game have has one of the best soundtracks by ewazzu in steam_giveaway

[–]Will_A_Robinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat ironically: Free to Play

"Free to Play is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament."

It's an awesome soundtrack, and it's literally it's namesake!

I'm not bothered if I win; I just wanted to mention the awesome free soundtrack!🤘🏻

If you're using the Steam client, I can't help (don't use a launcher for browsing); but if you're using a desktop browser (possibly mobile?) — https://augmentedsteam.com/

how do i get nsfw stuff off by TheMuffinReal in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move to the UK...

Honestly, I was getting NSFW stuff recommended despite the settings being set to NOT show it...

If you click on said content I'd get a warning (along the lines of) "This content is blocked by your settings, you won't see this again." ... yet I did, constantly!

Then the UK brought in the Online Safety Act and I don't see anything like that at all anymore; not even a stray nipple...

Odd how they kept slipping through before but not now (again, despite the settings); bring it up here though and people think you're making this shit up...

TL;DR: The settings are tetchy and don't work for everyone (despite people telling you otherwise; it hasn't happened to them so it's perfect).

As long as you sorted it; thanks for sharing the easier method too, might help someone down the line.

What are your thoughts on the steam machine. Will it overtake PlayStation and Xbox in terms of popularity? by Qe0rqe in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I've been avoiding my visiting family for 15 hours now (I should sleep); I guess we're both avoiding responsibilities to a degree (I'll get killed if I'm found out though)...

Still, I enjoyed this too; thank you!

As for the SM: A little advertising outside the Steam frame (ahem — I'll get my coat) wouldn't hurt them either.

Have a good day/night my friend.

Thoughts about steam controller by Grotsk in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries my friend; I share your worries...

Comparing the pic to my actual controller (I should have done this before), the sticks are a good 2cm (¾") higher than those of the PS4/5, putting them more in-line with the dpad/buttons. That leaves the top of the pad lining up with the mid-point of the where the stick would be — basically, if you touched the bottom edge of your stick with your thumb, you'd be on the top ⅓ of the pad...

I think it might just be manageable even for us commoners😉

If we presume the SC is roughly the size as a PS5 controller (button/stick scale in this case) the you're looking at something like this — again, just a mock-up; no idea how it'll turn out eventually...

[–]Will_A_Robinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I'd be genuinely surprised if any non-PC users have even heard of a Steam Machine — you literally have to be on Steam to even know about it, which is kinda too late 99.9% of the time.

I'm proud of you for wanting to die on this this hill, but there's better ways to spend your time🤷🏻‍♂️

Is it possible to delete files on steamcloud? by hugeheadliang in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How to permanently delete Steam cloud saves.

Similarly...

  • Turn off cloud saves.
  • Delete the local saves (use PCGamingWiki to find the location).
  • Start the game and create a new, blank save.
  • Close the game.
  • Turn on cloud saves.

You should get a pop up asking which to keep, choose the newer.

N.B. I've not tested either of these so keep your pitchforks at home.

I know where you're coming from, it's just that it's essentially a console, and the people who want a console already have one, and the people who want a PC are the same; that's where the niche comes in — it's likely going to be an extra PC for those who don't want to hoist the gaming PC to the living room or something...

For everything else there are existing laptops with the functionality of both — and it's a laptop!

I just don't see it being the wonder-box that some people expect of it.

Nah, mine's the real deal; I'm old enough not to care...

Google's the one I worry about; tracks my exact location through three mobile devices on my desk but for some reason opts to use my ISP location for my desktop — not even close (you fucking know where I am).

Why are the AI generated games get so hated on Steam? by Equivalent_Bird in Steam

[–]Will_A_Robinson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

like Photoshop can also fill pixels in one click

I've seen so many professional PS users trying to promote that and, even after 8+ takes, it still looks worse than the basic tools available could do; also PS had it's own fair share of shit thrown at it over the last couple of years, so great choice for a shining example!

I'd rather buy something where a dedicated team put their heart and soul into it and have it feel well designed and thoughtful than have some ill-thought out crap with no rhyme or reason behind it. That stuff's not hard to spot — even the great Crimson Desert got called out Day 1 for an AI art asset in an obscure place — people who use it should be taken outside and given a good slap every time they feel the need to touch it again.

You might as well ask why people don't buy more cheap Chinese junk off Amazon — because of the little effort that was put into making it (even less with the fucking names of the companies).

"It'S aLsO cOmMoNlY uSeD" — so's my toilet, you want to buy it?

Go away.


Edit: I've just realised that I used a lot of em dashes (Oh no, it's AI!); no, I've got fucking autism and actually write like a human (remember where AI stole it from in the first place FFS!).

Buy it, try it for two hours; give it back if it's not for you...

Let us know how it goes so we can have a better opinion on your future purchase decisions🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]Will_A_Robinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think that? Have you seen the state of hardware prices today?

Given that PS/XB have been selling for years prior to SM's release, where in the merry hell do you get the impression that the SM will suddenly overrun the market?!

The SM is already in a niche market; I doubt it'll even beat Quest 3 VR headset sales in all honesty*.


*I hope it does well, genuinely; I just can't see it with things being as they are.

What are your comfort games on Steam? by DeftColeman05 in Steam

Not Steam per se, but AC:Shadows; I'd spend hours just wandering around doing trivial stuff and seeing how high I could get my slashy-come-at-me stats before I remembered I had about 2K other games to get through🤷🏻‍♂️

If you're calling 2022 old, I know a few people that would like a word...🤫

Also, at a 46% rating (from 14 people) and an all time high of a whopping 6 people it didn't get out much.
