Is there an easy method of uploading uncompressed screenshots to Steam? I've seen some rather convoluted instructions online, but is there a simpler process?

I think this is the simplest:

But with some automation you can get it done too:
Upload screenshots with Steam Overlay UI

 

[Kadin]

Edit: The new GamersGate Dailies are:
- 50% off Dark Matter ($3.75; seemingly a price mistake as the base price is $15 on Steam)
- 50% off Football Manager 2014 ($25)
- 66% off Farming Simulator 2013: Titanium Edition ($9.52)

I am really, REALLY tempted to check out Football Manager. It's always towards the top of the Steam charts for activity and gets so much praise. Yet I've watched some clips on YT and I'm just not seeing it. But at 50% off, I might still bite.

Black Soul Steam keys are now available on Desura for everyone, it seems.

Nothing at my end, just a Desura key.

From looking into more about ShareX it appears this relates to uploading to a regular image host, rather than directly to Steam officially. Seems like a brilliant capture tool though, so I might install it

Apparently there is no way to upload your own .png screenshots to Steam apart from rather hacky ways. Oh well.

Weird. Apparently, he's also working with Groupees to send keys via them, so... maybe it's just for people that bought them elsewhere for now?

A Story About My Uncle will be released on Steam this year.



Ether One will be released on March 25th.



And QBEH-1 in April.

These games interest me, will keep an eye on them.

My giveaways ended, so congrats to the winners, YianG, I will send you the Ikaruga copy via Steam once I get back home in 12ish hours (at work as I type this).

The number of entrants for my giveaway were quite interesting XP.

Looks that way.

Hello GAF

The three most common recommendations are:

- Air
- Metro for Steam
- PixelVision (which is what I use)

 

[Kaleinc]

Have some giveaways GAF!

Thank you for Volgarr the Viking!

 

[Nabs]

I'm back playing Guacamelee for a 3rd time. This combat is just too good.

Thank you for Volgarr the Viking!

'grats, bro. Good news for everyone else, Volgarr is 50% off on the Humble store! Go snatch that up.

That goes for all you

50+

entrants!

 

[Garrus Vakarian]

I wonder if they will ever expand the store page to take up the whole window, seems a bit odd that it doesn't scale to resolution.

- Steamworks allows devs to set their own prices for games.
- Family sharing is now for everyone.


Anything else that occured this week? (I already know about the fake vr rumour)

 

[Thorgal]

Just for final confirmation :

The steam version of south park is uncensored everywhere across the EU sans Germany ,correct ?

Austria gets the German version, too. Well, at least as far as copies bought through Steam directly are concerned. Austrian retail keys may be ROW ones.

New-ish scamming/phishing method using SSFN file, which holds your post Steam Guard authentication information or something like that.

hmm does that happen even on the client? ><

guacamelee is terrible to play with a wore out analog stick, keeps registering the wrong direction, fml

Playing platformers with the analog stick. The horror, the horror.

 

[Mavromatis]

It especially happens if you use the client, since it is the client which creates that SSFN file. But Steam will send you to your default browser when you click to an outside link, in this case to the phishing site asking for your Username/Password and the SSFN file.

They can also try to confuse you with a link like this one.

It feels better than using the dpad, maybe I got used to it, the ds3's dpad hurts my thumb anyway

The stick X360 controller's Dpad sucks.

I think you can use this one.
Not really detailed but would help.
But basically anything looking like this is suspicious.

Wow, I posted faster than JaseC, I assume Australian Winter froze him.
Anyway, Steam has a set of Account Security Recommendations over here.

I guess adding this stuff to OP may help someone if we all act as if people reads it anymore with this posting speed on Steam threads.

Also my personal warning, carefully read the urls and if an offer is too good to be true it is.

 

[derExperte]

Can we talk about why everyone who loves intelligent puzzles should stop ignoring Tetrobot? My brain is cooking here, the tasks, while based on easy and logical rules, can be brutal when going for all three golden blocks but it hasn't become frustrating yet thanks to a limitless rewind function, new mechanics every chapter, being able to jump around if stuck and the great presentation (high quality indie music strikes again). Really impressed right now.

And Stick it to The Man! is (and looks) cool too while much, much easier. Great pair to play alongside.

I see.. I remember reading it in this thread... and saw something like a trade request... so I've been avoiding it now ><

 

[dark_inferno]

God. I played 2 games of One Way Heroics and its awesome and for 1.99$ on Playism its a fucking steal.

Haha, usually I'm the slow one. It's just that sometimes I have my moments.

 

[Mavromatis]

By the way can someone explain EA's pricing at Sims 3 for me?

It seems wrong to me that the original game costs more than the bundle including it.

 

[nicjac]

Hey guys,

as I do not yet have room for an additional monitor in my flat, I am currently using a 42" 1080p Samsung LCD as my main screen. It works fine as I have one of those 'gaming chairs' low on the ground and I can use the coffee table as a surface for the mouse. It is not ideal but definitely workable for now.

To best accommodate this setup, I need to invest in a wireless keyboard and mouse. I know that most gamers do not want wireless (mostly because of latency and battery life I assume?) but I don't really have to choice for now.

I was wondering if you guys had recommendations? From what I have read, the Logitech K750 and K800 seem pretty good. For the mice I am not sure, so much choice out there. I suppose having 2 Logitech devices would make it easier as they can share the same USB dongle thingie.

 

[Nabs]

They forgot to jack up the prices on those bundles. You're getting the same prices we are.

Cool, thanks, will add all the info to the OP later today.

 

[kudoboi]

so what happened to this

or this

i know family sharing was only meant for family members but i want to share them with my friends but i don't really feel secure letting them play any game they want especially online games that can get my VAC banned

Requesting access on a per-game basis was never set to be a feature; the message you're seeing is what is displayed when someone has authorised a system but not a particular account:

 

[Mavromatis]

The security is as good as it can get. Steam would prefer that we all bought MP games instead of sharing them, a lot easier for them.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

So I guess the next logical question is... how many games does Jasec have on his secondary account?

 

[JaseC]

So I guess the next logical question is... how many games does Jasec have on his secondary account?

Hah, just the Counter-Strikes and a few other Valve games. I only made an alt because I was unjustly banned from my preferred CS:S server.

 

[Mavromatis]

So I guess the next logical question is... how many games does Jasec have on his secondary account?

The answer is "nofuckingidea2" but I can only assume that he is using that one to demo and to stockpile licensed games in inventory because he already reached the inventory level and he probably has accounts to 10.
Also "unjustly banned"!

I killed somebody through a floor. The admin present at the time assumed I was wallhacking but in truth I saw the other player's foot clip through the geometry.

Gorgeous avatar Jase. Keep this one for more than 15 minutes please.

Just got a Walking Dead Booster Pack. Now; do I try my luck and unpack for a foil or sell it as is..

 

[Volimar]

I've still never gotten a booster pack. Valve hates me.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

What is your Steam level? I got a CSGO booster pack just yesterday

 

[Momentary]

Man... I feel like Yaiba is going to be a better game than LOS2 in terms of combat. Combat in LOS2 just doesn't feel great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTTHzi_yexw

People can hate on this game all they want, but this looks awesome in my opinion. Definitely looks like a game I'll 100%.

 

[Blitzhex]

They used to drop frequently when trading cards launched, much rarer now I feel.

The TWD cards still have a surprisingly high value, you wouldn't lose too much compared to selling the booster.
