50% ($528) more expensive than PS5 Pro for a slower GPU, but faster CPU. However there’s no PlayStation subscription. Factor in that there’s no need to repurchase games and that’s not terrible for a PC gamer that wants a console. I can agree that’s a niche market.
I guess my post about the GOG sale should go here, not the free game thread.
I picked up the Bard’s Tale trilogy for $3.84 (normally $15)

I made this simple browser extension for the Steam store. It highlights well-reviewed games and dims or hides the poorer ones (with configurable thresholds).
I needed it for myself because the flood of indie games and AI slop made it really hard to browse the sales pages to find the worthwhile ones. I don’t know why Steam doesn’t show these by default (you have to hover or click each one individually).
Would anyone find it useful? (Just wondering if I should bother publishing it to the extensions directories)
I would find that useful. There’s so much crap to wade through now.
Sure. I’ve submitted them to the extension stores, but they are awaiting review — might take a few days or weeks, not sure. Will report back once they’re live.
In the meantime, if you’re using a Chrome browser, you can install it manually from here (only if you want it sooner): Release v0.2.7 · arcataroger/steam-reviews-overlay · GitHub
@liirogue Chrome version is released: Steam Reviews Overlay for Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc.
Firefox version is still awaiting review.
Feel free to DM me if you notice any bugs or want additional features.
Thanks @Reply! I have Firefox so once it’s available I’ll download it and let you know how it goes.
It’s live now: Client Challenge
(And sorry for the spam. I should’ve just waited for everything to make one post.)
Downloaded this and been using it for a bit - it works great! It’s simple and easy to use, and I like how you can choose what level of games you want dimmed.
Thank you for putting this together and sharing it!
You’re welcome! I use it every day, myself.
It’s so useful, you might want to consider posting it in it’s own thread. I could see it being of interest to those that don’t dip their toes in this thread for whatever reason and will otherwise miss it.
Agreed. Generic title with 700+ posts is not exactly the most inviting thread for people to randomly browse.
I agree it is very cool and worthy of its own dedicated thread.
Sure, here is that other thread: FYI: Steam browser extension to highlight/dim/hide games based on review scores
In tonight’s release, I fixed a few bugs and added an options screen. 0.3.0 is out for Firefox already and should be for Chrome in a day or so (up to Google’s reviewers).
This is the last post I’ll make on that topic in this thread
