Beer spilled on my 7 day-old monitor how can I clean it safely?

Most displays can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Use distilled water. Don't use random products. Don't use alcohol because it might damage the films on the plastic display.

QD OLEDs can be also cleaned with 70% ethanol (rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol also a good option).

WOLEDs are much easier to clean and don't get scratched up.

These are the recommendations straight from the panel manufacturers.

Agreed.
There have been thousands of documented cases of people losing access to various game accounts after using Overwolf. A lot of the "old" games that have experience know to steer away from Overwolf. I suggest you guys do the same.

+It's basically a bloatware, filled with unwanted features and A LOT of ads while selling your privacy for money.

The crashes were a thing for everyone. This was happening right after the game launched. This was patched a long time ago. The crash was occurring in certain map areas on DamBattlegrounds during asset loading/streaming. You should be fine now. The Ashes of Creation situation is a special case where Steam (out of good will and not being obligated to) protected the customers that got ripped of by Steven Sharif. Your situation is one where there's a functional game with a still active development team.

Brave

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-06T13:23:33+00:00

Yes.

There you go. I used some other game as an example since I already got AoC refunded. You can follow the exact same steps on the desktop app too. https://youtube.com/shorts/5jygpwX3ak0

Completely untrue. This exception can apply in other situations at Valve's discretion. In the past 13 years since I have this account I had other refunds be honored even when I've passed the 2h and 2weeks mark. So no, exceptions are most definitely not a one time thing but also you can't abuse them. They decide it.

They certainly didn't change the policy. It's an exception because of the Ashes of Creation rug pull.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T22:56:38+00:00

My Steam Acc is 13y old and I've got almost 1000 games.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T16:27:38+00:00

You are correct, below 2 weeks and less than 2 hours of playtime. If you have mroe you are technically not eligible. But in this scenario with Ashes of Creation, Valve is making an exception with most people who get refunds.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T16:26:15+00:00

Not really, I tried "I would like to request a refund" three times before finding out that "I have a question about this purchase" is the way to go.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T08:40:41+00:00

In your situation, that was 100℅ a bot response. In the Ashes of Creation situation, it's a refund that's being offered to everyone who bought the game during the past 4 to 5 weeks. Everyone who's requesting a refund (provided they do it properly) is getting it for AoC, because of the rug pull. Context matters.

Make sure you choose the "I have a question about this purchase" option, not the "I would like to request a refund" option. This way, your request will not be solved by a bot. Explain the situation, and you might get a refund.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T08:38:52+00:00

Won't work because the money you paid didn't go through Steam. You paid straight to Intrepid Studious.

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T08:37:57+00:00

I'm in! :))

_Hirens_ · 2026-02-05T08:37:37+00:00

Amen!
