Ah, ok. Nice explanation. How did you like the "breeding" aspect? That does stand out for me.

I didn't get far enough to see it's effects but mechanically it's not different from anything else you do in the game. Put two people with high agility in your dining rooms and the generate food. Put two people with high charisma in the living quarters and they 'generate' a baby. And you get a +1 to your population I guess.

I just read very positive things about dying light. Is it true that this game is worth a damn after the incredibly crappy dead island. I trust most of your judgment steamgaf.

I liked Dead Island well enough, but Dying Light blows it out of the water and then some.
It really is a mix of Mirrors Edge and Dead Island but it all work. Biggest complaint might be that the story isn't too special but it gets the job done.
I wanted to see what happened next and cared about getting to the finale. Also if you didn't like Dead Island because of RPG stuff, it's a bit more light here. RPG stuff is more related to the perks and such you want on the skill tree. You don't really run into i'm too low level to fight this random zombie.

I am on vacation so I only have access to handhelds. Time to complete Assassins Creed Liberation. The frame rate is so bad in this game I am surprised they were allowed to release it.

Perfectly good title "Something" not being used on Steam. Someone should get on that and grab it. It could be a Bad Rats type for all that it matters, just so you can say you gave "Something on Steam".

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.
So Valve redesigned the account page recently, so I'm trying to re-engineer Enhanced Steam's "Total Spent on Steam" feature using the new layout and APIs. There were a few quirks in the old page that I'm assuming aren't there anymore but I don't know for sure (since they didn't affect me) and I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

First of all - for people who have made purchases in multiple currencies (aka Valve started supporting your currency after you previously made purchases in USD): does the account history page show purchases made in both currencies? Or did they convert your USD purchases into your native currency? I'm trying to figure out if this page displays two types of currencies or if they've consolidated it into one.

Secondly - the old account page only showed up to 200(?) of the last market transactions on your history page. I've tested this myself and see that I have transactions going back to May 2013 which is probably when I first started using the market. Can anyone else confirm that their market history is complete on the account history page and goes back more than a few years? Preferably someone with a large amount of market transactions can chime in on this.

Thanks all!

New Fresh Prince is...what.
Won't be the same without Mr. Avery as Uncle Phil though :/

Non the less if it's good I'll give it a watch, it doesn't have to be 1:1 the original 80s/90s series.

Using cyberfox 39.0 Here (aka firefox)

1) It does show both currencies for me. US and Canada

2) It loads up some of the transactions. I had to click "load more transactions" and I could see all my transactions from the very beginning (July 2013)

How old is the market to begin with? My history goes back to May 2013 as well, I also didn't interact with the market before cards were introduced. Anything in the transaction history before that are just store actions.
Strangely enough, the oldest action in the history is not the oldest store purchase I have. Oldest in the history is 20th of November, 2008 when I sent Half-Life gift to my brother, but the licenses page has 7 Steam Store purchases before that.
