May 9, 2020 Rumor: At the end of 2020, the re-release of Diablo II Resurrected will be released

May 10, 2020 Twitter of the Mafia series came to life two years later - this is probably the teaser of the reprints of Mafia II and III

The best comments

But it's fun! No other playground makes from sales a whole holiday with special tasks, glasses and nishtyaki in a digital collection.
And what will disappear? Backgrounds, emoticons, badges-all this will remain forever, and if not, you can sell and scrape money for some indie at a discount. Steam is very good in this regard.

Copons give a discount from the residual price. I wanted to take The Division 2 then to take on a sale with a coupon, so -20% coupon were counted not from the main amount, but from the final discount.

In one of the latest sales I liked the score system. I bought several desired games at a discount, and there were enough points for converting into rubles and buying a pair of potentially interested indie games just like that. That was cool.

Cool, again wretched the accrual of pokes for the awards that you will disappear through months / year and expensive coupons.

The system has a better system, a discount from the dome for UClub Pointes on top of the game with a discount on the sale, thus pulled off the whole Odyssey

Steam Deck – Valve’s (non)console

Just recently, our beloved Valve announced SteamDeck. In this blog, I, Catman, will briefly talk about the new Valve console and my personal opinion about this thing.

I hasten to inform you: this is my first blog, so there may be shortcomings, so please notify me about them via PM or in the comments

Why Steam Deck is not a console?

Let's try to answer this question: Steam Deck initially comes with Steam OS v.3, what does this OS include?? Regular desktop Steam with a huge game store, chat and cloud - everything we love about Steam, only on a laptop: BUT - one big one BUT, on Steam Deck you can screw Windows, Yes! This is stated by the developers themselves, that is, we can play, for example, Fortnite, through Epic Games! Essentially this normal work/gaming PC, By the way, through the docking station you can connect a monitor and a keyboard - which will make it a full-fledged PC

Steam Deck - the “iron” part

Let's take a look at the https://pravdacasino.co.uk/withdrawal/ technical part of the Steam Deck: let's start with the processor, namely the AMD APU

Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5 GHz (up to 448 gigaflops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA with dual compute units, 1.0 GHz–1.6 GHz (up to 1.6 teraflops FP32)
APU Power: 4-15W

At first glance, it is good enough for a small PC, but it will be visible on a real model: although IGN conducted tests, you can check their channel.

Let's move on: RAM, SD (I will sometimes reduce Steam Deck to SD) is as much as 16GB; Now this RAM is enough for all games. Now let's move on to storage: Different models have different numbers of GB, they are all presented below:

Screen: 7 diagonal screen with resolution
1280 by 800 pixels (16:10 aspect ratio, weird choice). By the way, it is touch-sensitive, with 60 Hz screen refresh. And also other characteristics: Bluetooth version 5, batteries for 2-8 hours (Valve conducted a test with Portal 2, for example, if you lock it at 30 fps, then the SD will last 5 hours!) But the weight is scary: 700 grams!

My opinion

Steam Deck is a very interesting thing, but given the failures of Steam Mashina and Steam Controller, it’s very scary for SD, I hope Valve will do everything right and SD will be at least on par with Switch.

Steam Broadcasting – Valve launched their game broadcast server.

New features available in the Beta version of the Steam client - the ability to stream games. However, you can broadcast not only games - if you wish, you can broadcast a photo of a cat on your desktop)

In order to take part in beta testing, you must select the appropriate item in your account settings (Settings - Account - Beta testing).

After rebooting Steam and installing the beta version of the client, it becomes possible to configure streams..

... and the following broadcast settings:
1) Privacy settings:

¤ Only friends I invite will be able to watch my streams;

View from a friend:

In the community (http://steamcommunity.com/?subsection=broadcasts):

Starting today Steam gamers may watch their friends' games through the click of a button via Steam Broadcasting, now available in beta.

Steam Broadcast is designed for ease of use, allowing anyone to view a friend's game by simply clicking on “Watch Game” on their Friend's profile or Friend's List to open a window into their gameplay — no game ownership, special fees, or additional apps required. The beta is open to everyone who opts in to the Steam Client Beta (via the Steam Settings panel), however bandwidth may be limited during the beta.

As always, Valve is interested in all feedback and ideas on how to make this feature better. To find out more about Steam Broadcast and offer your feedback, please check out the Steam Broadcast update page: steamcommunity.com/updates/broadcasting

PS
Valve sends the following splash screen when the stream is paused:

Steam will soon be added to Tesla cars

Tesla is not only electric cars, but even five minutes a full -fledged game platform! At least everything goes to this.

There are already small entertainments on the on -board computer, including Stardew Valley And Cuphead. Steam will appear there soon - according to Ilona Mask (Elon Musk), his company makes successes in the integration of the store, and the demonstration of the working version in one form or another will be held in August.

Does this mean that only certain Steam https://esballcasino.co.uk/withdrawal/ projects will be launched on Tesla? By no means! In February, the entrepreneur wrote that the purpose of the company is to make sure that all the games of the service are available in cars.

We’re Making Progress with Steam Integration. Demo Probably Next Month.

- Elon Musk (@lonmusk) July 15, 2022

There is one more question: whether the Tesla computer will have enough for the most demanding Steam games? There should be no problems with this either:

There have never been a car with modern computing technologies, a modern information and entertainment system that would literally correspond to the PlayStation 5 level. Productivity is really at the PlayStation 5 level.

Ilon Musk About the new Tesla model (Model S Plaid)

As an example, the businessman gives Cyberpunk 2077. Like, the action-RPG operates on Model S Plaid with a high frame rate. Also Mask promises that the rest of the fresh games will work on Tesla at 60 FPS.
