- Aug. 1, 2026, 8:21 a.m. : Any games that have Steam Cloud support will upload their save files to Steam Cloud. You can visit https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage to see what save files your account has in the cloud.
- July 31, 2026, 1:59 p.m. : Steam community pages are public, you dont need to own the game or even have a steam account to view them
- July 26, 2026, 11:42 p.m. : Woohoo, this is great! Would love to win.
- July 22, 2026, 11:06 p.m. : On a whim I bought this fun little #Transformers Blokees blind box to see what it was like. I got Wheeljack! These are pretty cheap - they're the smallest ones (ballpen for scale). You need to assemble them, but its not too hard even with my poor dexterity. Its a pretty clever product because I can see these as being nice cheap gifts for kids, but the blind box gives it collector appeal too. Photo of the toy with the packaging
- July 20, 2026, 2:38 p.m. : It annoys me that this prompt has a checkbox to always open in app but not the opposite option i.e. never open links in apps, since I almost always prefer #web A firefox prompt to open a link in the Youtube app, with an optional checkbox labelled "Always open links in apps"
