Yes. The only non-SteamPlay Mac game on Steam is the original Black Ops (two separate products).
Edit: Beaten.
The way I see it, you have two options:
1) Get a better monitor.
2) Stop mirroring and extend that desktop, which is what you should be doing in the first place.

The problem with extending the monitor is, that I always have to "move" the window to the right or is there a better solution?
3.63 jiggawatts! Great Scott! That reminds me, I need to get round to playing those games
My brother and I do it this way.

Just noticed Revengeance was not installed on the hdd, but on my sdd. can i just move it to where i installed all of my games then check the cache on steam, or i'll have to wait for the game to launch to do it?
Everybody does it. The system is working as intended - Family Sharing allows you to share some games on your account with people you log with your account on their computer. Offline mode allows you to play games while offline. Only way to enforce the limit of people playing the game at once is checking online to see if the other player is online. Since he's in offline mode, there's nothing wrong with it. But people abuse it, by sharing with people other than family. And like, with 5 people.
The way I see it, this will either end up with us losing the ability to family share (by publishers flagging their game to not be a part of it) OR losing offline mode completely.
The first scenario is more likely.
And just so you could save 2 dollars on Don't Starve.
You have to wait. Pre-load data is encrypted and sits in the depotcache folder until release.
Edit: Though if you need the space you can just move the depotcache folder to your HDD and drop a symbolic link to it in the root of the Steam folder.
Wow, I somehow won the one with the most entrants. I must be one lucky motherfucker. Thanks mate!
The main question is: Why is his Steam installed on his SSD?

New Win 7 installation on my PC, feeling so fresh and so clean

I see. Thanks!
Makes steam be way faster and responsive, and then i created a Library folder on my HDD.
I was going to answer this and then on the space for the question: "What game would you want? " I answered: "The_Monk"
LOl, this is a sign to get more Coffee...! But either way my suggestion was going to be Fallout 3 GOTY which is 2.50€ and you can get it cheaper by adding the code "10thanks" but since I haven't tried myself I'm not sure.

Also thanks to GAFfer Divius for helping me in a new area in Dark Souls, such a Brave Soul too! But man if this game does not give me an heart attack it sure is close.
EDIT:
Rising Storm giveaway?
Btw, Monk, you can put another answer, since you goofed and only put your username (although might be another person in your place, dunno)
Well, here it is, haha. Sorry about that fellow GAFfer!

Spot on! I know have all the pseudonyms.
Sorry, I recognized your avatar but could not put a pseudonym on it.
Just a heads up, I've been sending friend invites to a bunch of people here, so if you got a friend invite in the last half hour or so, it's probably me.
I figured out.
Every game that doesn't allow to be installed on another folder, or uses the "common" folder, or leaves trash on the Steam shared folder... that's all going to your SSD.
Every piece of software that doesn't keep tabs on their files and keeps everything organized (and I'll give you a hint: Every piece of software sucks terribly at it) is leaving traces on your SSD. Hell, my Steam installation is on my l:\ folder, along with all the games, and i STILL get massive amounts of files under "my documents", "my games", "my documents/games", so on and so forth.
Why would I want to leave ANOTHER place to gather all kinds of random and leftover files, like the main Steam installation, on my small SSD?
I was debating it as well until I saw there's an iOS version for half the currently on sale price.
I love the idea of these sort of games in general but not the "PC Premium" that comes with a lot of iOS ports. It'd be one thing if they add something but there's some ports that are lazy that add nothing but double the price or more.
Just a little reminder that there are 2 hours and a half left to try your luck and score yourself a copy of Valdis Story: Abyssal City

Dunno if games like that really exist, but i never had the problem with a game that wouldn't install on my HDD. Second, the common folder on the ssd is actually empty, just checked. probably, because i created another library folder on the HDD.
What's this Shared folder you're speaking of?
EDIT: and i did that because at the time i was reformatting my pc, i asked if i should do it here on the steam thread, and nobody talked about any problems or disadvantages...

Two more questions:
1.) Is there a way to preload MGR on a different HDD? I have Steam installed on my system-SSD, but all the Games on my Game-HDD.
2.) Is there a list of which games will be featured in the Amazon Editors Choice list? Till now it looks quite "bleak".

best giveaway ever!!... thank you!!!
I thought they were just mood gifs based on what was happening in the US at the moment. I liked them! I like them even more now that you've uncovered the meaning behind them

That's incredibly generous! Good luck to all who enter, I better get preloading
You can use Link Shell Extension to achieve this: once you've moved the folder to a different drive, right-click on it, select "Pick link source", then navigate to your Steam folder, right-click somewhere within the empty space, hover over "Drop as..." and select "Symbolic link".
woo and indeed hoo

lol. But yeah, that was easy to miss among the friending frenzy from the sale thread.
Also yeah, I get that feeling of looking at your library and saying "nope, later". I've decided that I'm going to change that though. I was playing Rayman Origins, got to the end of the second world and didn't feel like continuing. And then I didn't play anything else on my library for weeks. Although I liked the game, the collectathon aspect of it was annoying me and sorta sucking the fun I was having with the game. I was planning on keep playing the game through the month but now I 've decided I'll just drop it. Now I'm looking forward to playing Fall of Cybertron, those 15 dollars I dropped on the game must have a good use!
Well if you will have a Steam username that is sooooooo different from your GAF one, how am I supposed to know it's you?! >:|
*cough* Apologies denx
I have added a nickname of "denx GAF" now so I won't have that excuse again . Nice to have you on board! I apologise for any offence you may take to my politically incorrect and sexual innuendo laden screenie captions. Finally!
Although I would be a very sad panda if you were banned so be a very good boy from now on until you get to full member status, hm? Please?

But you're a kitty, not a panda.
