Is anyone else watching TI? it has been fantastic so far. Absolutely loving it

hit the post, crazy times

I'm really looking forward to tonight. Bills vs Chiefs. 49ers vs Cardinals Chargers vs Browns

Looks like I jinxed the Panthers and then the Jets go and play well lol

Watching Sam Darnold ball out for the Panthers, the Jets must be a real dumpster fire to have got so little from him.

Also some pretty big news for the Steam deck and Linux, easy anti cheat now works on Linux and battle eye have said their games will be compatible with the Deck. I don't play multi-player games but I know this was a big talking point but it looks like Valve are delivering on their promises.

I think I'd like to see a Bills vs Rams Superbowl

Who would have thought Josh Allen would become this good when he was drafted.

Jesus Christ, I've been trying to watch the pre-game shows on NFL network. 60% of the shows have to be commercial breaks, it's unwatchable.

The more I interact with other digital stores, both on PC and console, the more I love the Steam platform. It is so far and above any other store, only gog.com comes close imo. I love the sheer range of games you have available to you, I love the sales and the fact you can buy Steam keys from 3rd party resellers to get great deals as well. I love that you can easily go to the reviews section, not just to check if people think the game is good but reading the recent reviews can be a great way to find out if a game has gotten better or worse. Some games launch in a terrible state, Chrono trigger for example, and if you just went by "professional" reviews you would never know that the developers put the time in to fix the issues and is now a great pot on PC. Like wise you might find out if an older game has issues with newer OS or latest drivers you might have to work around. I love the user forums where you can go for help or just general information on the game. I love the community portal for each games that lets you access guides or forums easily in game via steam overlay. Games are getting much better at providing options like borderless windowed mode but there are still a lot of games that don't like it if you alt-tab to a browser. I really like Steam achievements, not in every game but I find they make me think about the game in different ways some times. I have even rebought games I have on other stores to get access to Steam achievements. Hell, I even like the trading cards and badges. Steam input is amazing, enough said. All in all I simply find Steam to be the standard I hold every other store to and like I said I feel like only gog.com really approaches it. For Christ's sake the Epic store still does not have a shopping basket! Browsing the xbox store you will find games, especially older games, that wont even have a trailer available to watch before you buy a game. I will of course grab the free games from Epic and I will buy older titles on gog.com but given the choice I nearly always buy on Steam for all the features it provides.

Curse you people! How is a man supposed to finish the games he is playing if you people keep turning his head with other games?

This is just my opinion and it isn't hyperbole on my part. But I'm genuinely more excited about humble games getting day 1 releases on Gamepass than I am by anything shown at the Sony conference.

Playing old games is honestly one of the top reasons I bought a Series S.

I'm always wary when a release year isn't even given though, if they were confident any of those games would be 2022 I'm sure they would have said that in the trailers.

Don't worry, you have plenty of time to save for them
