This should be VAC safe, it essentially simulates loading the game and sitting in the menu.



The idling application is written in C# using Steamworks.NET. The actual program logic is written in python. The full source of both applications will be available on Github.

I had the same question yesterday, you actually don't connect to the VAC servers it's like you open the game and let it idling at the start screen. I Idle M@ster opened for all day got all my cards and haven't found any problems.

No idea.

Was just thinking out loud lol.

Would need some serious brainstorming but I'm sure it can be done.

Some new rpg classes to the usual would be nice. Or get rid of classes overall. Just one standard build that you customise.
Click to expand...

Classless tends to gravitate toward either a one-man army or, if you have several customizable characters, fitting each into some variant of, say, tank, healer, support, and attacker.

As for new classes... what niche remains to be filled? All existing classes basically conform to (or are a variation of) the core roles of tank, healer, support, and attacker. There are only so many combinations of these you can make before you start repeating. I mean, look at rangers and mages: one attacks from a distance and has some support abilities, and so does the other.

People have been trying to brainstorm a new niche for years. I think the bigger problem isn't whether classes are new or original (they won't be), but whether they're any fun.

Impressions, please, sir.

Just provided them. I really wouldn't recommend it if you only casually like racing games. The main purpose of getting it for me is to have something extremely lightweight that I can pop on and off without a bunch of company logos, cinematics, long load times, and laborious menu systems. I wish I could mod Trackmania or GRID1 to just jump immediately into stripped-down menus like this to serve the same purpose at a higher quality of game.

Anyone in here collect steam wallpapers?
I'm thinking of delisting a bunch from the marketplace and I'd gladly donate them to another GAFer who actually wants them. You might get dupes and more in the trade offer, but that's a risk you'll have to take. :)

I tend to collect them. If you want to unload them, I'll take them off your hands.

I don't think we're friends on Steam, so I'll have to add you.

It was actually 2 guards -- I was looking for them as Shadownet handled the tellers and they were both over in the corner. I instinctively put them both down and then almost had an aneurysm because I thought that I might not be able to finish answering pager 1 before pager 2's timer ran out. XD
Click to expand...

Oh damn you actually managed two pager answers in one go? I thought a second one would be alerted if you take to long since you have to deal with the first. Still can't believe I got the 100 Grenades used achievement just from using them to suicide lol.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Is Dusk's Pigeon Love giveaway over? I don't want to enter for others if that's still going

Mr Shackles, not sure if I found an Enhanced Steam bug or not - I added Colin Mcrae to my wishlist from the store page, then realised I didn't want it and tried to remove it via the remove button next to the "already on wishlist" message.... but nothing happens, it just reloads the page. Had to remove the game from the wishlist page instead

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.

Yeah Valve changed this process, so I've got it fixed in the next version that should be coming soon.

Nostalgic as fuck playing Colin McRae Rally. Would I have preferred a nice cleaned up version of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for Steam? Well yeah, but this version reminds me of the good ol PS1 days.
