    I've got a foil Lungfishopolis. Anyone want it? I've got tons of missing cards I need instead.

    PM if interested.

    Hey, grain of salt, but this post on Neogaf is making on the rounds on /v/ right now.
    Steam just stealth rooted everyone. No, seriously. Remember Blizzard's "Warden" anti-cheat measures? Well, Steam has something like that now. Hooks into core Windows DLLs and if you try to use a trainer in a game, it doesn't matter if you're online or offline, it'll crash out. In fact, it doesn't even matter if it's a Steam game. I put most of my GoG collection into the Steam launcher because, what the hell, why not - but go to use a trainer or edit the memory, and it's game over.

    This is a level of invasive, malware-like activity that concerns me greatly. I sometimes cheat in single player games. I don't give half a shit about achievements, I just like to enjoy the game on my terms. They're single-player, why not? Apparently because Valve says so, is why not.

    Huge grain of salt, his "source" is awful at best, but you never know.

    If true, I would take it as confirmation of a meta game. Can't have people training up their prizes, now can we?

    Well if Steam is really going to start allowing game sharing, they can't be having people be running programs in the background, right?

    Yeah, I'd say it's a temporary anti cheat device for the summer dale and then that's it. Or at least, if true, that's all it is.

    But, what is this /v/ he's speaking of? I never ever ever go to neogaf.

    Naw, just the CheatHappens trainer guys suck at making their trainers:

    From Gibbed, probably the main reason we know about any Steam upcoming game leaks, among other technical Steam (he made Steam Achievement Manager) and general PC gaming stuff:
    As far as I can tell it's a crash in GameOverlayRenderer.dll's LoadLibraryA hook due to an invalid pointer being passed off to stricmp (probably the library name getting freed before the hook code executes?). Definitely not an anti-cheat mechanism.

    Valve employee already responded: It's just a handler bug. They rolled out a quick fix and will be working on a more permanent one.

    It's possible you were targeted by multiple people, almost simultaneously. Not that I'd know anything about that.

    Well that made the ninja gifting it to @Wooden Spoon even better. I got to gift the two biggest targets almost at the same time!

    People are getting me confused with you, obviously.

    I'm actually scared to come back into town at the end of the Dale. I know that when I get back into the states and power up my phone, I'm going to have 6,000 steam and work emails to go through.

    A word of advice for everyone with their new HiT BiT / Doodmann avatars:

    Save them as a GIF instead of JPG before uploading them to the site. It'll prevent the nasty jpeg artifacting in the solid color blocks.

    Guess who got a rather large bonus at work today for basically doing absolutely nothing? This guy!

    Be prepared to have your collective faces stuffed with gifts this summer dale.

    I wish being a stay at home dad could earn you bonuses.

    Like...one morning when I get my son up he just says "Dad, today, instead of having a meltdown every time you want to actually do something, here's a few thousand dollars!"

    Well...that'd actually probably just freak me the fuck out because he just turned one and my 4 year old doesn't even speak that well.

    But still!

    EDIT: Actually, a bonus would just be him not having a meltdown every time I wanted to do something. That would feel like a few thousand bucks. :P

    I don't know how you do it.

    I can't speak for any other stay at home parents, but for me, it's mostly spending 3/4 of my day thinking "God I wish I could just take a nap" and then when the kids are in bed, the last thing I want to do is go to sleep. :lol:

    What I'm saying is: perpetual (partially self inflicted) sleep deprivation :P

    Games aren't gonna play themselves.

    My wife and I have partially offset schedules, such that I have Saturdays mostly alone with my son while she has Mondays.

    Every Saturday afternoon, when Tommy (21 mos.) goes down for his nap, I think: I need to just go lay down and take a nap. I never get to really sleep in. I should take advantage of this.

    I *always* end up in the office playing something because, like, "Hey - a free uninterrupted hour-and-a-half-to-two of whatever I want to do."

    Also, my son's getting partially addicted to PlanetSide 2. He likes when we go into the VR training area and drive around in the "cars" (tanks) and the "cars" + "airplane noises" (airplanes, natch).
