It doesn't specifically look at browser history from, for example, Chrome, Firefox et al (though it may make an exception for the Steam ingame browser), but as mentioned in the Reddit post it checks the DNS cache of your computer as a whole.

Good to know. I read into it a little bit but honestly I'm not nearly computer literate enough to make that distinction. 

If you're really paranoid, you can always flush the DNS cache.

Lol... yeah I suppose I could (if I knew how to do that  ). I'm not looking at any really questionable content anyway. It was just kind of a weird thing I noticed logging into the steam page. Could have been just a coincidence, who knows. I know some sites and programs do look at your browsing history and adjust their content accordingly. Funnily enough it really didn't bother me back in the day but as I'm getting older it weirds me out more and more.

So, I don't know if I'm late to the party on this or something, but this caught my eye.

I noticed something weird when after looking at a let's play on SMITE and lasso'd into downloading it, I logged back into steam and found all the recommended games on the store page as free-to-play MOBA's, free to play RTS's, and variations on the theme. Indeed, the entire front page seems to list games as variations on the theme. I was curious, so I looked up if steam actually tracks my browser history. (I'm using google chrome.)

Well...

So, I suppose there's nothing wrong with trying to appeal to the proper demographics when advertising, but still I feel like this is kind of a huge violation of my privacy. Do you guys know if steam/valve still does this? How do you feel about it? Discuss.

A pretty classic MUD that was pretty popular a few years back when it was known as 'Moongate'. (Changed due to copyright issues)

Definitely worth checking out. I'll post the description from the wiki here:

"The fantasy world of Materia Magica, Alyria, consists of four major continents, a massive underground area called the Great Alyrian Underground, and the Faerie Plane, an ethereal zone. The overall theme is medieval fantasy wherein different races live in strife and bloodlust is commonplace.

Materia Magica is a text-based game based on the principle of endless killing and leveling up. The game does provide roleplay and non-combat elements, such as a ship combat system and roleplaying enhancements, helping to expand the game's content beyond the typical hack and slash classification."

The description is somewhat lackluster, though the license was recently aquired by a new developer and they're looking to do a $100,000 rebuild on the client and website, bringing MM to HTML 5.

I know friends of mine that lost their entire high school and college years to this game.

For some reason I can't get any sheet metal imported. After building a workshop and setting prisoners to work there no sheet metal gets delivered and they just end up hanging out in the workshop and then eventually stabbing each other to death with powertools out of boredom. Anyone else getting this?

The delivery/storage area, are they restricted?  That is where the sheet metal end up going.

Nope. They're behind jail doors but I have guards set right near them. The trucks just aren't coming with any sheet metal in them. Wood logs getting turned into wood planks works fine but for some reason they won't import any metal whatsoever. I'll try with a new prison and see if I get the same result.

That's the one. Thanks man. Earth 2150 is a (rather poorly made, I think) remake of it.

OH! completely forgot about that thread. Thanks bud. I'll lock this one.
