Yeah, I can't think of a single game that's not improved by going up to at least 100 fps.
Even stupid low-resource intensive games like Hades or Bloodstained look a lot fucking better all the way up to 240 hz.

OK I've been on Steam since it launched all those moons ago, so I guess it's time to ask this: is there any point to all these "cards" you collect when playing games and show up in your "inventory"? I have something like 9 pages of cards or whatever. I was trying to figure it out and it seems like you can either sell them for something like 6 cents a pop or so (who the fuck buys them?) or turn them into Gems that you can then use to get new Steam avatars or something. For someone who uses Steam only as a games repository, and occasionally to look up guides or download Workshop mods. Is there any point to them? Should I do something with them or just continue to ignore them?

If you complete a set you craft a badge and increase your Steam level. Have you ever cared about your steam level? Then don't worry about it.

steam level as said earlier, also you can buy/sell them on the marketplace. they used to sell for a lot more, i'd buy bundles for years and make back like 80-90% of the cost selling cards (which is why i have 5000 games in my steam library lol) but they are pretty much all worth like 5c each now
a program called ArchiSteamFarm (there are others) automates most of it even

A quick look through my cards shows that they are all in the 5-6 cent range with a couple high rollers that I could earn a whopping 25 cents on. Thanks for the info.
It's like a credit card rewards program with extra steps, where you do all the work. It's great.

Yeah, I might use it if it had a "put all on median price" button, but going through 20 years of accumulated cards for 6 cents a pop... yeah... nah...

Augmented Steam lets you automatically sell all your cards at market price, most though sit forever unsold. You need your authenticator app to auto flag all sales as ok otherwise you'd have to mark hundreds manually, I use SDA as my Steam 2FA authenticator and it allows auto OK but i dunno what else does. Nice thing about Steam 2FA is you can have multiple auth apps running at once, just have to share the secret ID or w/e to start up each one, so I have SDA on my desktop and both the steam authenticator and another one on my phone as backup.
It is effort to startup and do and honestly not worth it anymore

This will be a COMPLETE shitshow.
I have hopes the sequel to Jedi will be good though since it's respawn. Liked the first one even though it had zero character building and skill builds.

Yup then everyone would do it and it'd all drop from 5 cents to 1 cent lol
Would love to do it with all my old dota2 shit so the pennies rolled in all year
