As a reminder, Gabe Newell will have an AMA at r/The_Gaben today at 3PM PST / 6 PM EST
Unlike the AMA thread on the main forum, I hope Steam-GAF can muster more than memes.
Something is definitely confirmed.

It looks like that Nvidia is giving away The Division or WD2 keys to GeForce Experience users. Again i got nothing but if you use it and you are subscribed to their newsletter check your email
I saw Wario64 tweet about it. I don't have GE installed and my PC is dismantled right now, so can't even try to install it/subscribe now (don't think that would even work anyway).
Having Nvidia bloatware paid off for some people today.
They are doing giveaways often. They gave away Gears 4 and Obduction too.

I'm assuming this is U.S. only like every giveaway ever.

Man, Nvidia starts giving their users games again after I switch to an AMD card. :/

Shadowrun Hong Kong alone is easily worth five times the BTA amount ($3.50 now).
It's an NES inspired Metroidvania (we need a better name for this) releasing on February 2nd. It's looking good.
First, that looks awesome. Second, I disagree that we need a new term for metroidvanias. Dont get me wrong, I dont particularly like the name, but its evoctinve and you know exactly what you are getting when you use it. Castlevania-like doesnt help because it might mean tis level based and not a backtracking joint. I guess technically you could just say " a metroid-like" I guess, but that doesnt really roll off the tongue.
Its like saying "Anime Fighter". I mean, its still a fighting game, but when you say anime fighter, you know what to expect, just like when you say metroidvania (and just like with metroidvania, its often wrongly used).
Dang it, is they any way around it?

Finished Deadbolt on hard mode. Challenging stuff. Now my left hand hurts and there wasn't even an achievement for the effort I put in.

My god do I love Humble Bundle. I was waiting to see if they would add Victor Vran before buying it in their store and boom it pops up in a 1$ tier! I just bought 2 bundles and the monthly, hope they keep up the good work!

I'm glad we're getting Ex+ instead of the base Vita version. I don't mind waiting longer for it!

Technically, Metroid and Castlevania are platformers, but they do take elements of other games...one of their big commonalities is that map you try to fill out as you explore...
Mapformers.
There you go. That's free. You're all welcome.

Overgrowth is such an incredible game and I'm really glad it finally got a big update and progress is being made. Nothing out there that plays like it that I know of and the fighting feels so dynamic. Also some of the best blood splatter and drip tech.
Trying to do a running kick on someone and breaking your neck instead when you smack into the ground is hilarious. Getting slashed by a knife will make your character hold that wound and generally a good throw of any sharp weapon will be an instant kill.

Sometime in the past I would've been keen to hear what Newell had to say, but I just can't muster any interest nowadays. Valve, aside from my interest in (and dependence on?) their storefront, just seems to be heading in a direction that is, for me, increasingly irrelevant. *shrug*
Happy birthday!
I DO XANADU!
So, we're getting Trails 3rd and Tokyo Xanadu from Falcom this year, or am i missing something else? I know there are those 2 Ys and 2 Trails games that are coming to steam in chinese, but i'm not getting excited about those yet, since the situation with possible english translations that have been hinted at being considered isn't clear enough.

You can ask why he hasn't hired the talented and charming creator of Enhanced 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.
Haha well since he doesn't answer my emails, I doubt he would respond on Reddit either

Thanks for the wishes folks. Appreciate it.
Someone ask Gabe about UWP. While it might be tinfoil hat stuff, a future in which Microsoft has planned obsolescence for Win32 would wreak havoc on Steam libraries. SteamOS was meant to be the counterweight to that but it would be nice to know what they think about the situation now.

Now that's what I like to see. Excellent addition.

Thanks. Once this is fully integrated, I should also be able to add "review score" as a sorting option on wishlists. Should be pretty useful I hope.
A lot of it is the same info from his last ama (Hl3, source2)

It makes me think of how they handled that Steam user profile cache leak last year. They seemed to think that fixing it was enough, why say anything else?
I'm amused the idea that there are Valve employees monitoring communities though. Probably all of Steam's discussion boards and not SteamGAF.

Exactly, or the myriad of other things that people have been asking for for years and are definitely possible and seem pretty straightforward (many of which are fixed with Enhanced Steam aka client-side javascript) that go unresolved.
