Apperantly it's a catching issue. From what I've found, it's causing 2 glitches: either changing the store page to a different language, or worse, grants access to another account's personal info, email and the last four digits of the account's credit card (if the info has been saved).
Before anyone panics, according to Valve, this is a glitch in the system, not a hack. In addition, from what I heard, transactions are not really possible from other peoples' accounts, so it may be unlikely too much personal info will be accessed.
For now however, it's recommended to stay off Steam until this is solved.

Did some Ark on the xbone. I lost my dodo, my guess is it starved to death due to my inattentiveness while I built my house. However, I got a parasaur, and am on the hunt for a phiomia, as I got a saddle for one from a supply drop.
I also did some Fallout 4, and I must say, the character creator for it has been great to me. (But not to my character, he's hideous )

I hear complaints that you can't leave your settlers alone for long, otherwise they do stupid stuff and get killed. Any issues related to this?

News to me.
Settlers in Banished will always try to fulfill their needs and do their jobs. Settlers that aren't assigned jobs default to the laborer role, and focus on assigned land clearance. Plus, there's not really anything that settlers can do in Banished that's immediately suicidal. You need to get houses up right away at the start to keep your settlers from freezing to death (and at the hardest difficulty level, you will lose people if you don't immediately start building). But you don't need to worry about them drowning themselves, or anything like that.
I've been rediscovering one of my favorites from when I was younger: Total Annihilation (courtesy of Steam). That game, although its graphics are very dated by today's standards, is amazing. It gave the original Starcraft a run for its money back in the day, or so I hear.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.

I've managed to get a good food reserve up, but I'm starting to struggle with firewood.

I reinstalled KOTOR and started another playthrough! This time with some mods to boot!
Best mod ever lets you begin the game as a Jedi. Loving it so far.
The Old Republic continues KOTOR 2 in a really good manner and picks up Revan again. There is a canon Revan, though, created after what most players did.

I'll sometimes have shortages of firewood. But adding another woodcutter usually resolves the issue after a bit. Also keep an eye on how far your woodcutters have to travel to collect more wood.

I just got a coal mine up as well - so far all my resources are going well!
I'm playing my first Telltale game, Game of Thrones.
The actual gameplay part of it is pretty dire (am I supposed to be using the mouse, the keyboard, what?).
But the world building and story stuff is awesome. I'm thinking literally everyone I meet is going to be stabbing me in the back at the drop of the hat.
I'm still searching for something reasonably simple to play on my tabtop. I've resigned myself to using the keyboard docked and even the mouse/tartarus if necessary, but I still want something vaguely simple that can be put down at the drop of a hat (as I'm tackled by children).
It's worth saying, though, probably not the best game to be playing with children around. - A character just launched a tirade at a 12 year old boy which would get me banned from dakka in a nanosecond if I were to ever repeat it.
Yeah, that's one reason I won't be installing the walking dead game(s) or some of my other stuff for use on the tabtop upstairs. I want something nice and low key like a good RPG or something simple. Magicka may work out though I need the game pad for that. I'd continue playing Agarest but some of the conversations get a bit weird for having it on around wife/children, and the second game has embarrassing boob-physics DoA style during talking parts of the game =/

Of course, the perfect one would be "Minecraft: Story Mode."
Tales from the Borderlands has a few scenes with some very unusual violence and/or gore. And every now and again, the language gets a little bit vulgar (Ramirez's comment early in the game about the shape of spaceships - which ironically doesn't really apply to ships in the Borderlands setting - is the worst that it gets iirc). Just things to be aware of.
I started playing Game of Thrones, finished the first two episodes as they were released, and then decided to set it aside until they finished the whole thing. And now that the last episode is out, I still haven't gone back to it.
