Steam's Built-In Game Recording Now Available To All Users: What You Need To Know
Valve Corporation has rolled out a new game recording feature on Steam, allowing players to easily capture, replay, and share gameplay directly from their PC or Steam Deck.
This built-in system, which has moved from beta testing to a full release, offers users streamlined tools to document and save their gaming moments without relying on external software, according to a blog post.
New Recording Features On Steam
The game recording tool introduces a “Background Recording” mode, which automatically saves gameplay footage to the user’s chosen storage drive while respecting set duration and storage limits.

For players who want more control, an “on-demand” option enables manual start and stop functionality, letting them record specific gameplay segments.
Another feature, called “Timeline,” adds event markers to gameplay recordings, allowing users to quickly find key moments. For games with “Timeline-enhanced” capabilities, markers will automatically appear whenever significant events, such as Steam achievements or screenshots, occur. This makes it easier for players to organize and edit their gameplay clips before sharing them.
With this update, Steam Deck users now have a native option to record and share gameplay directly from the handheld device.
This addition aligns with Valve’s aim to position the Steam Deck as a versatile platform, providing users with more of the same features they might expect on a traditional gaming console.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Enables the Discovery, Development and Delivery of New Innovative Medicines That Are Key to Addressing Significant Unmet Medical Need
Alexandria to lead mission-critical panel on immunology and inflammation as a cornerstone of treating human disease tomorrow at the 2024 Galien Forum USA at the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – New York City
PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ARE, the first, preeminent, longest-tenured and pioneering owner, operator and developer of collaborative mega campuses in AAA life science innovation cluster locations, continues to leverage its position at the vanguard and heart of the $5 trillion secularly growing life science industry to foster the development of new therapies and cures for the 10,000 diseases known to humankind, of which less than 10% are currently addressable with treatments. With $4.5 trillion in U.S. healthcare spending in 2022, the majority of which is attributed to hospital and physician services, the opportunity to reduce the economic burden on the country and better manage disease for patients through the development of new innovative medicines remains immense. Driven by decades of scientific discovery, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this year has approved 38 novel small molecule and biologic therapies, as well as six new innovative medicines, which include novel vaccines and next-generation modalities such as cell, gene and mRNA-based therapies. Alexandria tenants are responsible for five of these six innovative medicines, reflecting the cutting-edge science taking place within the company’s Labspace® facilities and the high quality of the company’s client base. Innovative medicines continue to gain momentum with a 286% increase in approvals by the FDA in this class between the 2017–2020 and 2021–YTD 2024 periods.
“As innovative medicine approvals by the FDA have ramped up over the past several years, the promise of next-generation medicine is being realized in key areas of unmet need, including oncology, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and diseases of the immune system, which means expanded treatment options and enhanced quality of life for patients,” said Joel S. Marcus, executive chairman and founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and Alexandria Venture Investments. “Innovation in medicine is the only effective path to solving the over 90% of diseases that currently have no treatments and to reducing long-term costs associated with the healthcare system. New medicines delivered to patients and early detection of costly diseases, like Alzheimer’s or cancer, mean fewer visits to the hospital and fewer treatments over the long term. At Alexandria, we are working to ensure that the life science industry can maintain its collaborative science-driven advantage as one of the world’s most innovative, impactful and critical industries, and one that is vastly improving health and well-being.”
Alexandria has a remarkable track record of partnering with trailblazing life science companies to enable the development of life-changing and lifesaving treatments and cures. Since 2013, Alexandria tenants have developed or commercialized half the novel FDA-approved therapies, and so far in 2024, they have been responsible for over 80% of the FDA approvals for innovative medicines. Many of these approvals are first-of-their-kind medicines. Notably, Moderna, with which Alexandria began its strategic relationship in 2012, received approval for a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine. Moderna’s novel RSV vaccine validates the potential of its paradigm-shifting mRNA technology to address multiple diseases, and it is also the first mRNA vaccine to be approved for a disease other than COVID-19. Included among the Alexandria tenants harnessing the immune system to treat cancer is Iovance Biotherapeutics, which received FDA approval for the first tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte cell therapy to treat advanced melanoma. Alexandria has been providing mission-critical real estate to Iovance in the San Francisco Bay Area since early 2022.
The field of immunology and inflammation has emerged as fundamental to how we approach a wide array of human diseases. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the immune system are leading to revolutionary therapies and opening new frontiers in medical science. Moreover, immunology is predicted to become the second-largest area of biopharmaceutical spend by 2028, behind oncology, and the global immunology market is expected to more than double from nearly $103 billion in 2024 to $257 billion by 2032.
In light of the paramount importance of this burgeoning field, Alexandria is leading a mission-critical panel titled “Immunology & Inflammation – A Cornerstone of Treating Human Disease” tomorrow, November 7, 2024, at the 2024 Galien Forum USA at the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – New York City. Co-moderated by Mr. Marcus and Lynne Zydowsky, PhD, chief of science of Alexandria, the pivotal discussion will feature pioneers in immunology who will delve into the latest advances, current challenges and future opportunities for harnessing the immune system to combat chronic and inflammatory disorders. Alexandria’s panel will also explore how immunological and anti-inflammatory approaches are reshaping our understanding of disease mechanisms and opening new opportunities for treatment. These latest developments — from engineered cell therapies to novel immunomodulatory drugs — hold the promise to transform the treatment landscape for millions of patients worldwide.

Trump's 20% Tariff Plans Could Unleash Wave Of Spending On Big Ticket Buys In Holiday Quarter, Says Economist Justin Wolfers — 'Already Hearing Anecdata'
A leading economist warns that U.S. consumers may rush to purchase big-ticket items in the fourth quarter, anticipating President-elect Donald Trump‘s proposed 20% tariff on imports.
What Happened: “I wonder whether we are going to see a burst of spending on consumer durables in Q4, as people pull forward spending on big ticket items ahead of the tariffs. I’m already hearing anecdata of this,” economist Justin Wolfers wrote on X following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Wolfers’ observation comes as Trump secured a decisive win over Democrat Kamala Harris, capturing 277 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote, according to Associated Press figures. The president-elect has promised to implement broad tariffs, including a 10% levy on all imports and higher rates on Chinese goods.
Why It Matters: Trump’s victory, marking the first non-consecutive second term since Grover Cleveland in the 1800s, sets the stage for significant economic policy shifts. Beyond tariffs, his agenda includes extending the 2017 tax cuts and exempting Social Security payments, tips, and overtime income from taxation.
The potential consumer response highlights the broader economic implications of Trump’s trade agenda. ABN Amro senior economist Rogier Quaedvlieg cautioned that “a full-scale implementation of Trump’s tariffs will increase inflation and put the U.S. in a recession.”
JPMorgan analysts estimate the proposed trade policies could push inflation up by 2.4% in a worst-case scenario, potentially triggering a surge in consumer spending before the tariffs take effect.
