I'm trading a Last Breath for either coal or Psychonauts, Dungeons of Dreadmor and Anomaly: Warzone Earth. Also accepting the former one or two games and coal for the trade.

I also have two copies of Portal 2 and a copy of Portal if anyone can strike a decent trade with me.

What are you looking for for a Portal 2? (How much metal, hats, etc?) Obviously I already have it, but I can give my brother's account some items so he can play it.

How much metal or keys is it worth? I am not familiar with how things are priced in the TF2/Steam economy so I check existing trades if there are any to see what stuff goes for. I am looking for refined metal, coal and holiday crate keys in return for the trade, no hats.

Speaking of coal, is crafting that useful at all? Can coal be crafted into just coupons or games as well?

I should have mentioned that I am also looking for games that are part of The Great Gift Pile such as Psychonauts, Dungeaons of Dreadmor, Anomaly: Warzone Earth etc..

I'm down for trading the DotA 2 key,

Is that the full game? What are you looking for in return?

I'm not even sure, to be honest. I don't know the monetary equivalent of a refined.

No discount on COD:MW3 :(

It's Activision, so don't expect a discount for it. They only just sold MW2 for ?9.99 for one day a few days ago, and that's two years old.

Looks like I'm only getting one game today, and that's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky to complete the collection, as I've already got Shadow of Chernobyl, and Call of Pripyat. :) Probably a good thing too, as I'm low on money at the moment, and payday isn't until Friday for me.

Oh, forgot to say I picked up the Half-Life Complete pack and Bunch of Heroes yesterday. Bit of a shame they didn't give giftable copies for HL2, Deathmatch, and Lost Coast, but even taking those out of the mix, the pack was still cheaper than buying individually, and I'll finally be able to play the first Half-Life game. :)

Oh, just got the achievement for joining the official group, but I had to leave and rejoin to get the achievement. This time, I didn't get a lump of coal; I got something worse: a 50% off coupon for F1 2011, which I've already got. :p

Anyone up for trading it?

I swear Valve must have some algorithm for generating gifts that will be useless to the recipients.

My 3 non-coal gifts so far:

25% off THQ coupon - Their games are already on discount, for more than that in most cases.

Half Life 2 + HL2: Lost Coast - Already have it

Blocks That Matter - Already have it

Getting any games at all are a pretty good deal... you just got Half-Life 2 for nothing.

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
