oh has steam air been updated as well? i had to go back to the default skin cause i had that issue with steam air.

The most recent update was September 25th, apparently.

Eeeew Mountain Dew? I'll take a crab juice.

I thought you'd get a kick out of that.

 

[Chariot]

one of our what? steamgaffers? youre talking like that doesnt happen all the time here lol

Apparently I'm less cynic, but I have the feeling that the people here have either a sense of honor or at least a sense of not doing such things in the same forum, as if nobody would see it..

 

[electroflame]

Its okay guys. I took my B/S/T post down.

Spoiler

and no I hadn't traded it yet.

If you're worried about it being a duplicate code, I'd be willing to give it a shot and let you know.

I thought that way too until I started paying attention more.

I cant tell if youre being serious, but its funny either way

 

[Chariot]

Well, I feel like an infant now.

 

[InfiniteNine]

There are good and bad people on every community, sadly. GAF isn't immune.
In example, a lot of people ignore my posts, those are very, very bad people, I know for sure.

Hey new guy!

 

[Grief.exe]

Steam numbers are insane right now

Dota 2 is nearing 1 million concurrent with Counter Strke: GO nearing 250,000. TF2 at 100,000 and Civ V, Garry's Mod, Skyrim, and Football Manager at 50k.

Finally we have the original Counter Strike, newest AAA in Mordor, and free weekend Space Engineers at around 30k.

Spoiler

Final Fantasy XIII has around 10,000.

 

[fantomena]

Played some Ryse coop with a friend. More fun that I thought.

But like, half of those are Dota alts using family sharing.

so happy I can stream at 1080p flawlessly now (or so I was told), might start doing it more.often.

Y'know, I'd love to be privy to how large Valve's cash reserve is. It'd have to be utterly ridiculous at this point -- I recall Gabe saying a few years ago that the company was more profitable per employee than Apple.

I would if I didn't have a shitty 1mb upload.

no wonder - since they only have like 5 people working in customer support

Dunno, a male, a female, who cares? I'm something for sure.

I believe in you!

Did Valve change something about Family Sharing at some point or could you never play one game from your own library, while someone else accesses another game at the same time? My GF wants to play Skyrim, but can't when I'm playing something else. As soon as I start a game, she gets a message.

I thought Family Sharing was only limited to the same game?

It's always been that way, luckily my friend buys games and never plays them Although lately I've been pulling most of the purchase weight.

Only one person can be accessing the shared account at a time.

Family Sharing has never allowed simultaneous game access. I do think Valve will eventually loosen this restriction, though

Edit: b10.

Please do since I need to make rude comments, and say that you suck at playing games over the interwebs.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I probably should stream more. Too bad people in my house never leave me the hell alone for any length of time so I usually don't bother...

 

[Rhaknar]

but you can do that right here, its a fact

facts dont offend, they are facts. like for example: "youre fat mokoi".

Good upload speed is a requirement for that, right ? Guess I can't if so.. :/

I think he's that pervert that wants his snake punished... or something.

 

[madjoki]

Yes, you need upload that is bigger than bitrate of video and higher resolution requires higher bitrate to look good.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

They just are scared of showing their W/L rate

So why is his pic of Snake and not Gray Fox?

Thanks!

Huh, that's interesting. That makes Family Sharing really pointless. In a real family situation I mean. Imagine living in the same house and sharing one account with a sibling. And then you can't play different games from the same library? Really?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
You could always create new account for each game and then sharing would be "perfect". I don't think there's limit to how many accounts you can get shared from. (It would be just big pita to setup).

 

[Turfster]

Naked

Snake got

his crotch grabbed twice in 3

Also, callback to stuff upstream to show him I do read his posts =p

If you only had one Xbox, you could only play one game at a time as well.

The Xbox One lets you share with a mate and play the same game on different consoles though.

Well, you can't play the same ps2 game on 2 consoles at the same time either.

 

[Pakkidis]

Does anybody here know of any good internal wifi adapters for win 8.1? Surfing the net is fine but any sort of gaming or streaming and my wifi card can't handle it anymore. It USE to be good but for some reason the last few months it no longer seems to give consistent speeds.

 

[madjoki]

But you can different game, that's on different disc. Pretty sure this is true for every console out there.

I'm pretty sure that streaming Marvel Heroes is illegal

Crazy to see how big CS:GO has gotten. I remember it had a pretty lukewarm reception when it was launched, and it wasn't very popular for a while. They really managed to turn that around.
I have to wonder how much longer TF2 will last. Personally I dropped the game a few years ago.

 

[Mokoi]

All you people wanting to know who is who... January is coming.

Spoiler

In January a lot of people on GAF participate in "Real Profile Pic January" where you change your avatar to an actual picture of yourself.

Cool

Y'know, I'd love to be privy to how large Valve's cash reserve is. It'd have to be utterly ridiculous at this point -- I recall Gabe saying a few years ago that the company was more profitable per employee than Apple.

With all that cash they have the least they can do is add 128 tickrate MM servers to cs;go.

but you can do that right here, its a fact

Rhaknar pls.

I know you said internal, but i have one of these, and it works great for wireless gaming when I disconnect my wired connection

I suspect TF2 will stay strong until CSGO goers f2p. CSGO has really benefited from streamers. I play it more when I watch people stream it. I've owned it since day one tho

 

[brotkasten]

That doesn't make sense. I'm trying to play FF13, she's playing Skyrim. Once I launch FF, Skyrim stops working on her end. With PS2 games, we could easily share games like that.

 

[Grief.exe]

I've been watching so much Isaac lately as I ease myself back into the overarching meta in time for Rebirth to break everything.

It's remained relatively consistent YoY (Steam Graph doesn't yet have the data for today's peak of 93k):
