I just finished playing Rise of Immortals (which is a free game, by the way). I ended up playing for just over an hour. It was more fun than I expected. I was able to get 10 assists fairly early but I continued playing until the match was over. I played a 3v3 PvE game that ended up being 2v3. My ally and I just owned the enemy team. If you're going to try the objective, I recommend playing a ranged DPS immortal. That way you can run in, get one shot off and run away. I managed to win Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. I doubt I'll play it so if anyone wants to trade something for me, just add me on Steam.

Also, I can't install Spiral Knights. I've tried installing it from the Steam browser as well as Firefox 9 and it just doesn't work. Can someone try it? I'd like to know if it's an issue with Steam or an issue on my system.

What's the error your getting with Spiral Knights? Spiral Knights tends to run at a snail's pace if I've have too many tabs on my web browser open. Some problem with Java maybe? But try closing your web browser or restarting your computer before playing it.

I don't get any error. When I click the install button, nothing happens. It's no longer an issue for me because I'm about to play it on my brother's laptop.

Bit of a crap day of sales today. :/ Probably would have considered buying the Tom Clancy pack if it was cheaper, but I've already got most of those games on other formats, so no real point in me getting them.

Nothing interesting for me on today's sale. Can't even complete today's objectives as I don't have any of those games!

Get the latest Humble Indie Bundle. Jamestown is in there, and so is Cave Story, and Super Meat Boy, which both have achievements that'll be future objectives.

EDIT: Oh, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER too.

EDIT 2: You've gotta pay at least a dollar now to get Steam keys for the bundle, as too many people were abusing the keys by buying them for one cent then redeeming the keys to do the objectives. Still, it's cheaper than buying Jamestown on its own, and you get seven games instead of one (or twelve if you pay more than $5.30). :)

I'll try that song if I can't do it with the one Singh400 suggested. Has anyone received anything good from crafting 7 lumps of coal? I just crafted them and I received a 50% off coupon for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. :/

My younger brother just won Wings of Prey and my other brother won all the Tropico games (minus Tropico 4).

I got Red Orchestra 2 from crafting coal.

Damn it, I bought Skyrim yesterday thinking there was no way it would be in the sale :(

contact them, I'd say you have a good chance of them honoring today's sale price and them refunding the extra

Valve is good about things like that IMO

I spent ages going around Dungeons of Dedmor to get the Diggle Nog achievement and ended up with a 60% voucher for the King Arthur franchise...

Gonna try the Frozen Synapse one next.

You're not the only one. It took me over three hours of gameplay to get that achievement, due to dying hundreds of times, constantly walking around in circles to heal myself, and the impossibility of finding grog (found plenty of Diggle eggs though). In the end, my reward was a 50% coupon off Demolition Inc. It's currently 75% throughout the sale!

I tried doing the Frozen Synapse one yesterday too, but bloody hell, it's difficult. Straight off the bat, everyone on the other side seems to go straight for my machine gunner. And you can't hide him away from a rocket man for too long. :p

The Frozen Synapse one is easy.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

      Exactly.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
