Steam Summer Sale.

There's a scavenger hunt, but it seems to be bugged.

I'm seeing reports that traffic is so high that it's not working.

I know the answer to Clue #1 and you can't even search for it currently in the way they want you to. Other games show up, but not it. Skip the way Steam wants you to find it, and voila it appears right away. But again, it doesn't register that you found it.

I managed to get 4, but couldn't find the 5th the way Steam wants.

Not sure highlighting your less than optimal search system is the way to go Valve, but whatever.

Games are hidden in different spots for each user. Searching for them from the main search box does not work.

You have to go to the clue, hit find it now or whatever, then choose various categories in the big red bar that follows you up and down the page. After that, scroll down and search for a game that is priced "TH.4X". That's the game you're looking for.

I have added the list of them under the spoiler tag.





1) You'll find riches in rhythm, and fame in six strings
But beware the tax burden axe mastery brings.

Guitar Billionaire

2) You've settled a city and put down your roots
But now can you settle small legal disputes?

Custard Castle Small Claims Court

3) Sport is the angle. The bait the allure, Success the disease, And you are the cure.

Bass Ain't Bitin' 2022

4) Maybe you managed to shut down your rivals, Your lucrative theme park’s still dead on arrival

Dead Seagulls Zoo Magnate

5)A know-it-all’s monstrous need to correct you
Will give you and your friends a lot to object to

Actually... Frankenstein's Monster Edition

6) No actions to take or choices to make
This passive adventure prefers that you wait

It's Probably Fine

7) Your role in this realm Is to guide your king true To sit on his throne Or mayhap on two

Help The King Get To The Toilet

8) The horror the horror, pretentious explorers
This one’s the father of all arty snorers

The Consecration of Esthme

9) This virtual river has a full boat conveyed, Two princes that paddle with three little spades

Pro Poker Amateur

10) If your strategy is to keep me close, I'll make you think. If your strategy is to let me go, I'll make a stink.

Hold In Your Farts

An FYI for the Steam Deck. Linux updated recently on my system and when I launched Hollow Knight, which I've been playing in my far less available free time of the past few months, my save game was gone. I was throw off track because Hollow Knight had also installed an update (I don't have my Steam Deck on daily.) so I thought it was the issue and not the Linux update. Anyway, turns out that the Linux update affected Hollow Knight (not all games) because it used some protocol. Thus, I had to go into Hollow Knight's properties, then compatibility, and tell it to run under Proto or whatever (it's listed) and then launched it. Boom, my save game file returned.

I wonder what pointless activity they'll add in this time.

No quirky game that I've seen.

You can vote for the best game awards, and get 11 cards. And, do 1 queue per day to get a card.

No. I'm considering it just for free cash. However, for all I know it's a scam.

I mean, what's the case?
-Games sell on Steam for the same price they sell everywhere else.
-gog, Humble, Epic, MS, Apple, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, etc. all have stores where they sell their games and others. Some are exclusives. How does Steam have a monopoly?

I'm not mad at Valve or Steam, except for them not ever getting to HL2:Ep3 or HL3. So do I really care about this?
