Steam is down right now. A lot of players are getting stuck on “Loading User Data” and can’t access their Steam libraries. The Store and Community pages still seem to work, but the Steam client is having problems. Valve hasn’t said what’s causing the outage yet.

🎳 Splinterlands × Splinterlanes — Official Collaboration Announcement 🎳 The classic formula just got a fun remix. 🕹️ Splinterlanes is here! A fresh, high-intensity take on the Splinterlands gameplay you already know and love. Battle across three lanes at once with real-time card placement, deeper strategy, and the same cards you already own. 💸 Every match feeds the Splinterlands economy. Tickets cost a single cent 🎟, and the prize vault is filled with real cards bought from the secondary market — so playing the lanes keeps cards moving and keeps the vault full of sweet cards to win. 🏗️ Build your Deck. ✨ Collect Talismans — Lane-twisting relics that change the rules of your Friendly Lane, won as battle prizes and traded for DEC. 🪜 Climb the Ranked ladder. 🏆 Win real Splinterlands cards, delivered on-chain. 🎳 Why bowling? Splinterlanes → Lanes → the only lanes that matter. Picture the alley down the back street: the neon buzzes, half the pins are chipped, the carpet has seen things, and the regulars would not have it any other way. So Splinterlands rolled out a limited run of “Lanes” skins for your Splinterlands cards — six of them, fifty copies each, bowling-flavoured through and through: Cursed Slimeball, Furious Chicken, Lava Launcher, Portly Cannoneer, Surly Drunk and Yaba’s Pickle. 🎁 How you win one: every so often, when a ticketed win rolls a Talisman as its prize, the alley hands you a Lanes skin instead — straight to your Splinterlands account, yours to equip and show off in the lanes. No separate queue, no claim form, no coupons. Just bowl. When the rack is empty, that’s it — they’re gone for good. 🥤 Your collection. New ways to play. Bigger stakes. Shoes optional. 👉 Play now at splinterlanes.com/
