Dear Team, good job on finishing the Elder Scrolls Steam Event! Especially the paid players who had to finish it out after the free play weekend ended! (I was already able to upgrade my precious artifact)
Who tried the Battlefield 6 open beta last weekend? I tried it and it was fun, but also it was kind of overly frantic paced and stressful. But for reference I'm pretty old, the last Battlefields I played a lot of were BF1942 and BF2.
So for the Steam Event starting now, the Elder Scrolls Online is indeed free to play for 6 days so everyone can join in!

Oh golly I'm feeling nostalgic about the weekly Steam quest, I hadn't played SW:TOR since it was in the free beta weekend when it launched... about a million years ago.
So in the intro for the cyberverse jumpy game it says "you can win up to 20DRP" which I hope is a typo becuase it's either ARP or 2000 DRP.
also here is my unsolicited opinion on the game:
530 points for 1000DRP. took like... 5 or 6 retries?
definitely the worst game.
however I noticed my spacebar worked to jump so that's better.
Also ended up with a stretch after I had gotten 200 points where I did as little as possible and ran on the bottom rung and only jumped to avoid a pit. Was weirdly good.
I notice the Ba'li arches are available in the marketplace. These seem like a good idea if you are logging in everday. Especially if you're already completed the steam quests for the week and can unequip the booster for that.
The new jumpy jump minigame is the hottest of hot garbage. Vague on which items are good and which are bad. laggy or non existent detection of keystrokes. seeming performance lags (?!) the jetpack will sometimes randomly dump you down a hole, and the 200 point threshold is too high for such a frustratingly bad game.
This week's Delta Force challenge links to the original Delta Force 1. From Novalogic. In 1998. YAY VOXEL TECHNOLOGY!. But it means it's probably supposed to be the newer free to play one, and so the quest may be busted?
current old school link:

probably desired link:

Just gotta say the the "Spore Hunter" game requires too many points (5000) to get to the threshold for the "good" reward. The game starts fun but gets tiring quickly. And it gives me carpal tunnel so needs keyboard controls.
So many of you already know that Dell has a weekly "spin to win" game under the Dell Rewards section of their site. well, for today, for my first time ever and after many many trials, I actually won 1,500 DRP! Just wanted to mention it to prove someone has ever won.
the USA link is here: https://www.dell.com/myaccount/en-us/rewards
reminder the SMITE 2 steam event has started!
Time to uh... smite some things... probably?

realistically, in the US for Dell where DRP expire after 3.5 months and Dell dollars expire after another 3.5 months, how much Dell bucks can someone reasonably accumulate? I've got like $240 right now but that's after intel gamer days and also $30 or $40 from when I actually bought something...
This is minor, but strange, today my control center's "Today's Rewards" lists only the 28-day calendar reward but not the 7-day streak reward. However, looking at my ARP progress it looks like I got both rewards today...
My Relay Challenge: Starfield, refurbished UC Prison Shuttle
I took the dinky UC Prison Shuttle and rebuilt it into a gun and missile truck and tried to keep the same awful colors scheme.
