This would be very useful to have. It's too bad I'm stuck on 5.1.

It's really crazy how inefficient the Steam page (and with it the client) is at some points. It's really not a good user experience, which is strange to me, since Valve seems to be all about good user experience.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yes, this is also available in Firefox. However, Mozilla just yesterday approved the first update I've sent them in 4 months. So it's only been available on Firefox (I believe) as of released version 5.7.
Next up, I'm going to try to automatically save the wishlist ranking as you move the items. It's really bad for the UX to require the user to click "save" after reordering a list like this via drag/drop.
Opera user? They recently made a change in their moderation process that makes them more like Mozilla in terms of approving updates. It used to be that I could sign the Chrome plugin and upload. Now they say that's a big no-no and want several things about Enhanced Steam changed.

Would it be possible to hide your own wishlist from other users?

More than 60% of my games are Steamsale.

Unfortunately that's something that can't really be done since it's a system-level setting.
However, it may be possible to allow users to create a "Private" wishlist that Enhanced Steam stores in it's Chrome Sync Storage area. This would allow you to be able to see it but would prevent others from seeing it.
Of course, if your Chrome Sync Storage were to get corrupted (this happens) you would lose your private wishlist.
wait what happened to Rush Bros on indiegala? well anyway have at it:

Ever since losing my categories once on Steam I don't both with organizing them too much on there. Just basic categories for Done / Not Interested, Currently Playing, and Upcoming. With all the sales PC gaming gets I did actually take the time to create a big old Google doc that organized all the stuff I owned into general categories. In each category I rank the top three or so games from that category that I'd like to play next. Using that list helps me with both choosing what to play next, and what to buy. My usually rule of thumb (with a possible exception for mainline humble bundles) is to only purchase a game or bundle if it's going to bump one of the top three games in a category down the list. Not that I always buy it if it meets the criteria (obviously or else I'd spend a ton), but just helps to have a rule to keep me from buying too much backlog fodder for cheap.

Every game I own on Steam, aside from gifts and giveaway wins, were bought on sale. I don't pay full price for anything if I can help it. Of course I end up buying more since I save on individual games, then I don't have time to play all the ones I do have. And I'm only just over 200 games! How do you guys with 500 or 1k+ do it?

I need to finish that.

Yeah. I guess I could try manually installing the Chrome version.
That's what I ended up doing. Opera 12 is still my main browser, but for Steam and a few other things for videos I keep Chrome open. Worth it I guess, and as long as I don't have too many tabs open Chrome never has any problems.
Shame the direction Opera has taken as a browser.

In what way did you find chrome to be a shit browser?...

Took that Batman-key. Thank you very much! Now I just need to buy Origins and I'll have the whole trilogy.
Too much for this thread but it started to become bloated when they included flash that never worked.. Opera Next is like the first years of Chrome. Lean and fast.

So does Steam Enhancement have any neat features in regards to Steam Achievements?
Freedom = $1.05

Thanks for LOTR! Always kicked myself for missing it when it was in a humble bundle.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Currently it has an option to show your achievement status on your "All Games" page. It also puts a "Compare" link when someone on your friend's list unlocks an achievement.
So - not much yet, but I'm always open to suggestions.
Thanks once more for all the hard work jshackles. That simply change (from my perspective) for wishlists is quite handy and smooth.
Ah my mistake. I guess I should do that myself for Opera 18 since they will someday stop supporting Opera 12. I'm going to miss all those nice features I use so regurally once that happens.
I'm glad add-ons became something of course for browsers, but I wish it didn't come with the sacrifice of companies taking away options in a browser itself.

I always thought it was a graphical issue for Nvidia cards, certainly has no relation to anything in the game. AC crossover shall have to wait.
Do you have access to leaderboard data? A bit of a stretch but I've always wanted Valve to implement in client leaderboards so I don't have to boot up x game to view them.
Hm
I have an AMD card so it's either a bug or some weird thing they thought would look cool. Whatever it is, it made me think my GPU is crapping out.

You know, I've been disappointed with achievements integration in Steam for some time now and now that I'm being asked on for suggestions, I'm drawing a blank.
I'll try to think of something though.
Chance Hale
Member
Ah ok, then I suppose it must be intended but there's nothing similar in the game so it's weird. But yeah, I wouldn't worry about your card.

The same thing happened to me today with Toki Tori 2+. I guess they want you to give it to a friend so they'll buy it as well.
happened to me too though I got 2 coupons instead. I think they also give you one if you put in a code for the first game.
I thought it was a booster pack...
try to re-login,
Two Tribes B.V. went bankrupt, mainly due to disappointing sales of Toki Tori 2+.

Thanks for Velvet Assassin! Downloading now and Steam says it will take 31 days to download despite my 50 megabit connection. Hopefully it picks up soon.

I should be getting £20 of Steam credit tomorrow, but I'm stuck on what to buy.
Ideally I'd like to get 2 or 3 recent well received releases, but there are so many!

Didn't see that the first image was so compressed
I mean, it still looks like an old game but at least the textures aren't blown up to gross levels
The compression isn't the problem with that first image...
