Quick questions:

Splinter Cell: Conviction is $5 on Amazon as a download. Is that download DRM-free or does it require Uplay??

Uplay.

There is no mention of the Uplay integration on the page, nor can you add a 'Uplay' tag via the tagging system.

I've contacted Valve about both oversights, haven't heard a reply back.

I still believe that Valve should have sent Steam Controllers to 300 international users to apologise for the last-minute announcement that the hardware beta would be US-only. The controller is the primary reason why people were interested in the first place and if nothing else it would have kept discussion alive and given Valve far more data to use for iteration.

Yep. Hell, most of the people that got selected didn't even seem to play games, or log into Steam more than once every 3 months.
Volvo, pls.

Speaking of Steam Music, it doesn't support Apple Lossless, kind of lame, because most of my music library is in that format.

Weird. Isn't that open source?

Hopefully they'll make a next testing round with DOG or a newer iteration and send it to not just US people.

It'll probably support it. The biggest problem with SM is they released it in a very early state. Not even desktop support? Please. And haven't touched it since.

Apple? Open source?

Apple Lossless is open source--both the encoder and the decoder as of three or four years ago--and Apple does a lot of open source stuff. WebKit (which powers Safari and initially powered Chrome) was a large open source project primarily maintained by Apple employees.


It's OK. I have it on XBLIG (where it was less than $3.99). It's a stage-based, very fast, behind-the-shoulder perspective infinite runner. I got maybe an hour or two of enjoyment out of it.

Steam uses WebKit, too. The switched occurred when the client was ported to OSX in 2010.

At first I thought it was just more Traim Sim DLC, judging from the name. Then I noticed it was listed as a game, haha.
 
Yep, I couldn't believe it myself, so I looked it up.

You learn something new everyday huh?

If only Apple would start using ALAC on their store.

Has anything ever been reported on how much devs take home from cards/backgrounds/emoticons? I was just curious if it was a big money maker for them or not. I would assume it at least boosts the sale of their game.

so, Valve aren't at PAX, right?

Doesn't seem like it. I suppose between Steam Dev Days, GDC, and the next International tournament (which looks to be coinciding with the Summer Sale), there's not much left for Valve to talk about in the interim.

Sucks, the worst part is that I can't modify nor remove the listings that are already there.
And what is more crazy is that (I use steam in 2 computers) I was allowed to use the market in one of my computers for at least 2 more days after I changed passwords and then I was locked out of it completely on both of them.

That's strange, I changed my password after the heartbleed stuff and I still have access.

sigh, figured. Waiting for S2 is painful. Maybe at E3, I guess.

I just got eleven hours of sleep (collapsed in bed yesterday). I don't really feel good, but I feel... stronger than I have in quite some time.

How long does it take Playfire support guys to get back in touch?

woo, avatar has returned to normal
 

jshackles

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.
I see Playfire just got about $10 worth of rewards for Lego The Hobbit. Now it's going to be even harder to resist.

Resetting Steam Guard is what restricts the market.

Changing your password is fine but resetting it imposes a five-day market cooldown period. Resetting Steam Guard, on the other hand, imposes a seven-day trading cooldown on any newly-authorised devices.

Paypal is the worst, doesn't let you copy/paste into the password field so you have to manually type the randomly generated password twice ;_;

With the timestamps it makes it even more comical. I always thought Kabouter was a patient fellow.

Is it bad of me that I'm not really that fussed about changing 280+ passwords right now? I'll get to it eventually but I've got other priorities and all the critical ones are 2 factored anyway.

Can I just say that I haven't ruled out you being behind heartbleed as a way of getting people to use a password manager? I've seen you talking them up for years now and finally changed over my accounts just last night .

Paypal is the worst, doesn't let you copy/paste into the password field so you have to manually type the randomly generated password twice ;_;

Oh, I know the feels. What's worse is that my seemingly-more-important websites, like my main banking website and my mortgage lender's site, actually have some of the weakest password requirements around. One of them has to be under 12 characters and not include symbols, for fuck's sake.

These people own my fucking house.

My bank, for the longest time, had am exact 5 character requirement for passwords. I wish I was joking.

Honestly I think the better use of one's time is not just to change the passwords, but close all the unnecessary accounts. Ain't no one who actually needs 280 accounts. Close that shit down, lower your footprint!

gave away the keys to the kingdom.

Praetorians is set amidst the political machinations of an emerging Roman Empire. You will be transported back to the dusty battlefields of Egypt, the combat theaters of Gaul and finally to the heart of the Empire itself, Italy in the crusade to become Emperor. Your quest will not be easy, as the Empire is heavily defended by thousands of different troop types and war machines, all with special skills and individual strengths. The road to becoming Emperor depends on strategy! You must learn to combine your units and exploit the weakness of the enemy, but as you get closer to the Emperor things become even more difficult as you must face his personal guard, the most powerful and deadly fighting force in the Empire - The Praetorian Guard!

So... has the Heartbleed thing been fixed already, and it's safe to change them? I'm not quite clear on that. I'm getting a lot of "change your password!" advice, but... if the problem isn't fixed, what's the point?

Changing your password is fine but resetting it imposes a five-day market cooldown period. Resetting Steam Guard, on the other hand, imposes a seven-day trading cooldown on any newly-authorised devices.

But if you reset steam guard every device is a "new" one. But thanks, now I know it was steam guard and not the actual password change what imposed the restriction.
