What's really sad is that they wouldn't have this problem if they simply embraced modern HTML5 standards (which most browsers now support). Instead of having
Code:
value="search the store"
they had
Code:
placeholder="search the store"
it would work just fine.

They disabled the bit of javascript that pre-populates search results (presumably to reduce server load which is actually pretty smart) but broke their bit of antiquated javascript that gets rid of the placeholder text in the process.

Hey, gotta give credit for Valve wanting support all IE9 users.

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.
Looks like the search box was fixed in this morning's store update

Where do the two expansions for Pillars of Eternity stand exactly vs the base game? Are they just extra story content or is there new mechanics and stuff?

Like is there any reasons to have them installed at the beginning of my playthrough?

Not at the beginning, no. End of Act 2 is about the usual time to get into the expansion content.

I blame paypal - I acidentally bought the first half on my card, then realised I had the £5 off via PayPal, so had to buy more.

Good thing it was payday today

Anyone able to get the stickers for "Customize your Discovery Queue"? I customized and saved a few times but nothing.

I only got stickers for that after I went and followed/unfollowed a curator. Otherwise no matter what I changed in my discovery queue preference page didn't register to get me the stickers.

So far I've picked up Divinity: Original Sin, Fallout 4 (lol), Noire, Harvester, and The Witcher 2. Thinking about picking up either Stardew Valley or Age of Decadence with the $11 I still have on my account right now, but we'll see how I feel in a couple days.

Anyone else having trouble getting the quest to check your discovery preferences pop? I've tried changing and saving settings like four times, but no luck.
 
So yesterday when I finished my first queue (which took 2 hours thanks to their inability to support summer sale launch) it awarded me 13 cards. Today completing the queue awards me 0. I don't know if it's making up for the mistake yesterday or if my stuff is just broke. Has anyone else experienced similar funkiness?

I was wondering what was going on with this.

Time to start shilling I guess.

One of the best Visual Novels (if not the best) on Steam and one of my favorite games of all times.
I'm even confident in saying that this is among the most mature games in the entire gaming medium. And when I mean mature I don't mean 'blood & sex' "mature", I mean legit mature themes.
A rollercoaster of emotions.

If there is one indie winner for this summer's Steam sale, it's gonna be Hollow Knight. I fully expect sales to explode for this game on SteamSpy soon.

Going out of your way to block good games from appearing?

The only good games might appear under VR like Superhot VR. Other than that, nothing else.

I also don't have any VR headset and have zero interest in VR.

I did have a lot of interest about 1-2 years ago, but my interest died.

Fully deserved. It came out at such an impossible time for mainstream coverage to give it the attention deserved. Good to see that word of mouth is doing so well in keeping sales going into this sale and now pushing it to the top.

How's Witcher 3 running on a 770? It's USK 18 so buying (and selling) it for console is kind of a hassle over here. I wouldn't mind getting it digitally, I think. And it's 25€ for a pretty big game I believe. Can't imagine it going lower than that.

Runs fine on a 960.
 
You've completed your queue and have unlocked 3 event trading cards!
You can get 2 more cards today by continuing to browse your Discovery Queue.

Except I didn't get any cards. Is it supposed to say 3 sticker packs, or did I get ripped off?
