It's not an option. I was probably disconnected from Steam. When you are disconnected, your friend's avatars are cached on your PC.

I've had that happen, but generally if I'm disconnected from Steam it doesn't show who is and isn't your friend. For example, if you don't sign into friends, it doesn't show avatars (I believe) -- including your friends.

Good job, Anaron (Y) had fun playing

Thanks! I had fun too. :)

Really? Because that's too good to be true :p

@Anaron: If only the server wasn't full at the time I wanted to join :( Nice work though ;)

Yeah, it sucks. I disconnected and tried to go back in but it was full. Waiting in the queue to get in is boring. :(

... and for the following match, this guy here proceeded to dominate my rear as a sniper. :angry:

I will get you back someday. :shifty:

Haha! It felt good. :D By the way, you dominated me as a Heavy. I'm not sure if it was before or after I dominated you though.

How do you change it to not show user icons except friends?

Hasn't it always been like that? :/

We definitely need another Neowin match tonight (European time).

... even though I keep being thoroughly owned by some of you.

/me glares at gigapixels, the sniping b**t**d

I was going to join, but after a quick game I noticed my connection quality has dropped a bit.

Edit: Actually, it can be awesome, I killed somebody with the help of a freeze and an enemy demo (he launched me into the air while the server was thinking I was firing my weapon, which hit somebody and killed them)

:( I lost my cd key but I had a cd backup luckily from before but with the new update it now wants me to purchase it again this is bullshet I hate valve now WTF...

I got my Orange Box key from an auction site for the equivalent of $6. The only downside was that it was censored, but a quick letter to Valve customer support, and they unblocked it for me.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
