What is the highest Steam profile level? I've seen people with levels like 142 and they still have a next level indicator on their profile. Is there an end to this?

The Steam Trading Cards Beta currently states:     What about free to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2?      Free to play games drop game cards based on your in-game purchasing.   For every $9 USD spent (approximate) since the start of the Steam   Trading Card Beta, you will earn one card drop. This card will drop at   some point as you play. If you have made in-game purchases in Dota 2   or Team Fortress 2 prior to the Steam Trading Card Beta, or if you   owned Team Fortress 2 prior to the Free to Play update, you will have   4 or 5 additional card drops available.   While it only mentions in-game purchases, will buying items from the Mann Co. Online Store count as an "in-game" purchase? I more often use the the Mann Co. Online Store when buying things; I can easily switch tabs to the Wiki and see each item's detail, and that helps me when buying any item.  Essentially, if I purchased $9.00 USD of items from the Mann Co. Online Store, will I get a trading card, or must all purchases be completed via the in-game store?

The hard limit for the legacy Windows console was 9999.  I'm surprised to see that, in the new console's dialog box, MS have still set a limit of 4 figures (therefore 9999) for the maximum screen buffer size.  Is this a technical limitation or just the UI refusing to let you go beyond this?  If it's not a technical limitation, how can I increase it beyond 9999?

I know that according to the text it should be impossible, but global achievement statistics suggest otherwise. Is there a legitimate way to get this achievement?

Since Team Fortress 2 is available for free, many of my friends have downloaded the game. Can I copy the game on a digital media (USB stick or external hard drive) without creating a problem with Steam? This will save me almost 6GB download.  EDIT: I said that this transfer must be made between two different user accounts.

Assuming you are level 1 and have access to any item that you can afford at character creation rolling the maximum amount of starting gold, how high can your permanent  AC become (permanently, not for any lesser set duration)?  Constraints:   Only , Unearthed Arcana is not legal for this character creation. All  are legal, all other races are illegal for character creation. Items are those that you can purchase. All skills, feats and abilities available to a player character are eligible. A sole player character has to achieve this AC on their own, without any help from allies (pet companions, PCs, NPCs etc.) Starting attributes can be rolled (that includes all 18s down the line) or achieved by point-buy. I have no preference for either.     Heavily related:   This linked question also includes temporary AC. My current question, however, is strictly about permanent AC.

I just browsed through my steam games library and saw 'Steam App 210890' as something I could install. When I tried to install it,  to see what it was, steam told me that it would be downloading now, yet nothing happened.  Now I'm just wondering, what is that?

At every level from 1st to 11th, the experience needed to reach the next level (from the current level) increases every level. However, this pattern gets broken for most of the later levels:   Going from 10th to 11th takes 21,000xp (= 85k - 64k), but 11th to 12th takes only 15,000xp! (= 100k - 85k). Both 13th and 14th level only take extra 20k experience each, i.e. the amount needed doesn't increase between those two levels. Levels 16 and 17 similarly only need 30k experience each, and 18 and 19 only need 40k experience each.   Why does the last half of the experience chart have some of these levels maintain the same experience costs, and even briefly decrease the experience cost for 12th level?

Context: the last version I played was AD&amp;D (ie. 1e) where characters could (technically) progress to unlimited levels. Looking at the 5e PHB I get a sense that 20th level is now a concrete ceiling in terms of character level, and no progression beyond that is possible -- but I can't find it explicitly stated anywhere. Is this the case?   (NB. I'd have no objection to a Lvl20 limit, but I'd like to know for definite, since of course it has a major impact on how one plans a multi-class character).

I'm trying to share my steam library but Valve seems to have updated their interface without updating their docs.  Every Tutorial I look at features the settings window with a horizontal tab bar, mine has a vertical list and no "Authorize" button.    I've been on the Beta Channel for years and the client updates regularly.    Has anyone been able to enable family sharing through the new interface?  Edit: I am logging into both accounts from the same PC.

Just recently (today), I bought a Humble Bundle and I do not have access to a PC with the Steam Client...  Is there any alternate ways to activate the keys I've got from my bundle? Like calling APIs manually or external programs? (Re-downloading and reinstalling Steam is NOT an option)  Or is it not possible whatsoever?    I remembered the Humble Bundle had automatic key redemption... But it's not there anymore as the key redemption API has been shut off.

Is there any way to prevent others from seeing your Steam status without removing them as a friend?   Let's say I want to play Borderlands 2 without letting some friends know. Is there any way to hide my status to prevent them from knowing I'm playing it?  Basically, what I'm asking if Steam has an "Appear Offline" option.

I have just bought a new computer and I have everything migrated over except for my Steam games.  I looked in Program Files/Steam/ and I found a folder full of the games I have downloaded, but I do not know if it is safe to just copy these folders from one computer to another (seeing as a lot of other applications will not work if you do this), or is there another recommended way?  I don't really feel like re-downloading all my games. I don't have the time nor bandwidth to download 20GB over a 1.5mbps connection.  Is it possible to contact Valve and get a disk with the games on it?

Since there is a maximum reputation cap, is there also a cap for how much can be lost in a day?

I want to make an XP shop but I'm not sure about how to detect if people have sufficient XP Levels.  Can anyone help me?

In the Steam Auction, every Steam item (card, booster pack, background and emoticon) has a gem value, which is awarded when the item is "recycled" (user clicks the Turn into Gems... button).  How is that gem value worked out? Is there some sort of biasness for rare items? Valve-made items?    I've noticed that all the sale emoticons/backgrounds are worth 100 gems each, along with items from Valve games^, free-to-play games and sales, while all other games only reach a maximum of 80.  ^CS:GO somehow fits this rule, but Half-Life 2 doesn't.

... and if so, what criteria must you meet? I keep hearing conflicted info, like    "Only through inactivity." "Only from challenger." "You can never drop Tiers." "Yes."   Does anyone know definitively?
