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).

You should have a performance bar always available in production which has timings and logs all the individual queries.
This helps you find bottlenecks that need attention just while you're using the site.

There's a reference to TF project in the source1import code, that means Valve are trying to import S1 assets into Source 2.
This is still assuming that TF actually means Team Fortress.

Battlefield 6 is a lot of fun, shotgun is op as hell, and you can do a lot of tomfoolery with respawn beacons.
The empire state map feels like a deathmatch map though, it's way too small.

Added two new rankings to SteamDB: daily active users and wishlist activity.
This data comes directly from the Steam API, so I don't exactly know what "wishlist activity" means.
Battlefield 6 is the #1 for upcoming games.
