We've been working on making the loading and rendering threaded in Source 2 Viewer, as well as freshened up theme.
It's a surprising amount of refactoring to make OpenGL load and render in a thread and sync up with UI controls.
And styling winforms is really hell on earth.

It's rather ironic that I haven't been getting ads on twitch for months (because no one buys ads here), and now all of a sudden they keep repeating an ad for twitch turbo promoting ad free viewing.

the new steam controller 2 (triton) icon is just that, an icon.

It's currently not possible to view issues in the @github.com mobile app because they can't handle their own deprecations. Embarrassing.

You can now browse anyone's owned games or wishlist on steamdb with all the filters.
It was partially possible before by specifying the accountid in the url, but now it's more obvious, and you can get to it from the calculator.

I've got @cloudflare.social to sponsor Workers for steamstat.us, it's pretty cool.
The status json is stored in the KV, and I've now added SSR support, which means page load is faster and you can see the status without JS (rendering the canvas graphs still requires js though).
