For the first time in years, Valve has provided a drastic overhaul to the Friends and Chat system within Steam. It has an all-new look with some new functionality such as embedding things like images, Giphy links, Twitter, Twitch, and even YouTube. You can even use something like /giphy to insert a random Giphy image, because that seems safe?
It's got improvements to group chats, improvements to voice chat, it has a two week long chat history you can keep, it has a new "persona" invisible mode, a new way to rename friends, a new way to trade, a new way to add friends, and more!
You can try this new functionality out in two different ways. You can either opt into the current Steam client beta by going to Steam > Settings > Account and opting into the currently available beta OR you can try it out via your web browser....

Destiny 2: Forsaken to Introduce Gambit Multiplayer Activity
A new multiplayer "activity" for Destiny 2 coming with the Forsaken expansion is said to deliver an experience with an "upwards trajectory of fun."

Boiled down, Gambit is a competitive, team-based speed run, hooked around four core steps: fight, collect, bank, invade (all four of which can be happening simultaneously).... -

Cayde-6 is Murdered in New Destiny 2: Forsaken Trailer

As part of Sony's E3 conference tonight, Kojima Productions showed off yet another new trailer for Death Stranding. It's uh... it's something. It sure is a thing. After like three showings of this game now, we still don't have a damn clue as to what is going on.
