I just learned (and successfully tested) that we don't need an account to use PaySafe. I thought that was mandatory in order to pay anywhere, like PayPal is. And Steam allows paying (or adding to wallet) directly from the PaySafe code. Meaning, we can buy the code in a local shop anonymously and just add it to the account.

When asked to pay in Steam, just select PaySafe as the method, then the webpage to PaySafe will open where you enter the code from the receipt. After a minute or two, you should get a notification (usually through email). It's almost as easy as using a Steam Gift Card. At least here in Germany, Europe.

This is relevant for me, because physical Steam Gift Cards are official discontinued (the rest in the market will be usable, they just don't produce any anymore). And PaySafe works for me. In fact, I wonder to where I can pay with PaySafe else, outside of Steam. But that is a bit off-topic here off course...

Did you know this? Can you use PaySafe in your country? I hope PaySafe will stay as it is. What about the other Gift Cards, will they go away too or can people buy them for the consoles and other shops like Epic Games on PC?

Also I was curious why the list of Linux distros is unsorted, when switching to Linux only:

Original project its based on is larfingshnew/3d-controller-overlay, which didn't have an update in 2 years and does not support Steam Deck or the new Steam Controller 2026. Recently a fork appeared Khyretos/3dco-plus that does what I want it to, supports the new controller (and other controllers and has different layouts for displaying the mappings) and has a ready to go AppImage for Linux. It also supports Gyro and Touch, and even Keyboard and Mouse.

But this fork is heavily Ai assisted (the original was not). The developer assures us this is not vibe coded, but carefully examined and understood before doing changes. Now I'm in a position where I initially didn't want projects heavily developed with Ai, but this tool does exactly what I want it to and there is no alternative. I want to share it here anyway, so you can decide for yourself.

Small games and somewhat similar to gameplay of Vampire Survivors. I didn't play yet, so cannot assist with opinions about quality and if my description is accurate.

Hey everyone,

I got the Hitman Part 1 game on Steam a while ago for free I think but now I want the full game. Hitman: World of Assassination is on sale right now. Aside from the DLC's, would I get everything else with that edition? Is there a better option if I already have Part 1? I mainly ask because steam is alerting me that I already have a copy of Hitman which makes me wonder if there's a cheaper way to complete the game?
