Prolific Team Fortress 2 collector is selling his in-game case arsenal for an estimated $100,000 — 1.7 million items collected over 10 years are enough to fund a house purchase

Vincent Stech has collected over 1.7 million Team Fortress 2 cases across multiple Steam accounts, with an estimated value of 0,000. He began this collection around late 2017 and used automated methods to accumulate the cases while avoiding detection by Valve. Stech holds approximately 17% of all publicly known TF2 cases, making it challenging to sell them without disrupting the market. He has found a buyer for his entire collection, with the transaction in progress and expected to be completed by October. Stech plans to use the proceeds from the sale as a down payment on a house.

The maker of the Baldur’s Gate 3 over-the-shoulder camera mod has gone to great lengths to demonstrate it’s not like other third-person viewpoint solutions

Relysia's True Third-Person Camera mod for Baldur's Gate 3 transforms the game's traditional bird's-eye perspective into an immersive over-the-shoulder viewpoint. While Baldur's Gate 3 has a third-person mode accessible via controller, many players find Relysia's mod enhances the experience significantly. The mod has sparked discussions on platforms like Nexus Mods, highlighting the dedication of modders. Players have reported a distinctly different experience after using the mod, leading them to revisit the game. Other popular mods include the WASD Character Movement mod and the Party Limit Begone mod, which offer additional gameplay enhancements.

Windows 11: Movable and Smaller Taskbar in Beta Test

Microsoft is expanding the testing of its redesigned taskbar for Windows 11 to the Beta Channel of the Windows Insider Program with the release of Beta Build 26220.9022 on July 31, 2026. This update allows selected participants to reposition the taskbar along any edge of the screen—top, left, right, or bottom—and introduces a more compact variant that reduces icon size and overall height. Users can adjust their taskbar position through the Settings menu under Personalization, and Windows will adapt associated flyouts and animations accordingly. The implementation aims to restore flexibility lost when Windows 11 was launched, where the taskbar was fixed to the bottom of the screen. However, some features remain under development, and limitations exist for alternative positions, including incomplete touch gestures and a simplified search box. The compact taskbar feature currently only supports reduced height at the top or bottom positions. Microsoft is also exploring taskbar positioning across multiple monitors but has not guaranteed different positions for each screen. The recent updates include renewed certificates for the Windows Insider Program and additional builds, with the timeline for stable release of these taskbar adjustments still uncertain.
