I have Origin installed but every time I boot it up to play something it asks me for my password. It can't remember for shit.
That's funny because I had a difficult time noticing it was different. I only noticed it was the new client because of the new, round tray icon. The only other difference I can really tell is that Steam no longer relies on Flash player for screenshots and videos in a game's store page. Oh, there's also a couple of colored buttons here and there, like the "Play" button to start a game from the library page. I think the fonts might have been tweaked a little here and there also, but only a little.
There might be some others, but the interface is largely the same looking. Same old "New Releases / Top Sellers / Coming Soon / Specials" lists. Same old "Today's Deal". Same old "Spotlight" and "Featured" windows.

I lived through the age of winamp skins so im pretty exhausted by the whole thing. Just give me the plain jane steam and i don't have to worry about it matching up well with my Vampire Hunter D skin that i got off of fileplanet.

Ah, those were the days. I'm with you though. I used to skin anything and everything. Now I can't be bothered.

There's no Hatsune Miku skin, that's why.
Agreed. I use Metro and it improves usability so much I can't go back to the default skin.
I think this is really a problem EA has with increasing Origin purchases. The store lacks the third party variety to draw in more unique users and multiple purchases from the installed base. Some of their popular titles can be found on Steam which is a curious problem.as Steam continues to offer significant enough sales to dissuade making them Origin exclusive.
I prefer the font, the styling, and icons in the default skin.
Because I find Air, Metro and PixelVision skins rather unappealing to look at.
On that note, I got it to look about the same as it looked pre-update even with only the Graphics directory backed up. I even tried to mix it up with the new look and it was sorta working, but I don't like how new items like cards in the inbox have white text instead of green with the new update and while taking stab in the darkness I can't figure out what I should change to make the text green for inbox items.

A new hint from a new blog post for that Japanese Action Game Ghostlight just signed:
"Lastly, Im really pleased to report that we have now officially signed the game that Ive been hinting at over the last couple of months. Unfortunately we wont be able to announce it just yet, but do keep your eyes peeled for more information in the coming weeks. Just to remind you all, the game in question is an action title that was originally released on console in Japan, so were getting busy with the process of converting the title over to PC for an upcoming release on Steam. More on this soon "

Ta for that
It's technically objectively worse due to the encounter changes, but its effect on your personal experience is entirely subjective.
Depending in your knowledge of the original game, you may not even notice the changes.
That reminds me, my fav winamp skin is Harvest Moon one. Why there is still no HM skin for steam, or even why there is still no HM game on Steam, bother me.
I'm Ok with it, and I don't mind new steam looks including logo either. But then again I rarely care about details, unless in my books or games.
edited: guys, you are mean, talking about NG talk. We are not getting it, don't do this.
even less Bayo
Does she use a sword in Bayonetta? I thought it was mainly her hair, heals, and guns, but I have never played the game.
Onechanbara, is that you?

She has swords and sabers and gauntlets and other stuff
Winamp was a lost cause, it always looked ugly to me whatever the skin.
Skins often offer usability upgrades too, it's not only about looks. Personally I enjoy customizing my desktop experience in general so I don't see it as a hassle.
she uses everything, including a whip!
edited: I mean everything that can be a weapon and some that can't

There are Japanese games which aren't Milamber class?
Many bullethell shooters, for example.

I can see EA turning it into another anti piracy measure.
Somehow I am not surprised.
On the matter of the JP action game, do we have a reason to expect a well-known title or it's just wishful thinking?

But it's hideous, poor Miku
I think the chibi miku in the upper right saves it.

Why does SteamOverlay have Creepy Miku?

what's the webpage for trading keys for games, not tf2outpost but the other one where it's automated, depository?

Wishful thinking, of course. They publish smaller, less known games and I even can't remember an action game they published. Have they ever?
yes, I consider SMT smaller
that's not simply spooky, that looks really bad!

Mega Coin Squad is out, buts 11.99. I don't think i can jump on that when its only local multiplayer. It still looks really fun though, if anyone plays it, mind posting impressions?
Also, i finished the first Frederic game today, and that was one of the more enjoyable games i've discovered through Steam recently. Got some serious Osu/Elite Beat Agents vibes from the tone and style of the game. Solid soundtrack too. Worth picking up if it goes on sale again.

Eh I get why some use skins, I'd personally use them if they aided functionality (PixelVision is good for High DPI scaling with fonts for example) but to be honest next to none of them do anything that would add anything for me. So it's browser and Enhanced Steam all the way for me and that's a better end user experience than the client offers, even with Enhanced Steam Standalone bolted on.
I use the default skin. It's not like I spend a lot of time looking at it.
I wish Valve would start throwing their weight around a bit.
Contract with a publisher to jointly fund a console port, help fund an indie game, just further diversify the platform.
Good. I would still imagine Platinum would want to handle the port, but they may be too busy with other projects.
Essentially marketing for the WiiU sequel.
Valve is adding in ways to advertise your favorite games on your profile and customize your main store page.
Good chance Valve is adding ways to check on on additions of others.
I would take that as well.
