I log into Steam and see I have something new in my inventory. Oh what could it be I asked myself.

It was coal. Valve gave me a coal emoticon.

Well that won't stop me. Another five copies of Super House of Dead Ninjas being gifted to people.

But it's the 2015 edition of coal. Think of the vintage value in a couple of years.
 
Just a quick repost in case anyone had any ideas.

Ok guys, make me buy some games. I'm taking the week off and want to play a bunch of the sub-10 hour games that I shouldn't miss for goty.

I already have:
Undertale
Her Story
Contradiction
Not a Hero

What am I missing? You can leave out VNs, they're not really my thing. Same for straight puzzle games like snakebird.

Will Borderlands 2 get really repetitive and frustrating if you play it solo? I've heard so many good things about the Tiny Tina DLC especially which I've wanted to try for a long time

Yes.
Also, you can't play the tiny tina dlc until you're like, level 40 or you'll get stomped flat, so you basically have to finish the full game first.

It's repetitive as fuck, everything looks the same, the bosses become bigger and bigger bullet sponges without any actual strategy involved...

Nothing about this trivia giveaway is connecting with me, I've read the page three times, still can't even get what the answer could be, I'm usually pretty good with trivia but I feel really dumb with that one lol.

I'm trying to come up with a good game to get for my Dad. He's about 150 hours into Fallout 4, and I can tell he's starting to get burnt out on it. I'm slowly luring him toward PC gaming, after convincing him to play Fallout 4 on his laptop rather than the PS4. He's using an Xbox One controller so the move over isn't that big a deal, versus trying to fight with the keyboard + mouse controls of Fallout 4.

He's played Fallout 3 and New Vegas to completion, Skyrim, and unfortunately Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on PS3, so I don't really wanna bother getting him something he's already played to death.

He's also really into Borderlands, but has already played all of those to completion as well.

I've been considering the Souls games, but he's seen me play them, and I'm not entirely sure he's up for the task.

Few possible ideas.

Well, Morphine looked interesting until I read the description.
"An independent story-based cinematic FPS game describing the drama of a student's. Story is based on experienced emotions."
Yeaaah, I don't think I want to experience a full story if that's a sample of your writing, sorry.

Only one I don't have is Downwell and I know it's only $2 and I know it has great reviews but I have this feeling I won't care for it because it doesn't have a story. Maybe I'll give it shot for $2.

psychonauts is worth 99cents if you want a game that just feels long, i played like 2 hrs and it felt like eternity
Click to expand...

This is a nice meaty game for the price. I was afraid it would feel too outdated to be fun, but it turns out it's pretty damn solid. Almost hard to believe this is a 10 year old game in some respects. I'm also blown away by the Super Mario Galaxy-like levels. I thought SMG was the first game to have 3D spherical platforming, but apparently not. Already looking forward to the sequel.

For real, though I don't see them going back and patching it. I'd grab a mod for it, but I don't feel entirely comfortable using mods outside of workshop.

If you don't have super house of dead ninjas you should get that instead of Downwell. If you do have the game you should play that again instead of playing downwell.

Downwell looks cool, but I feel it is a pale imitator of the other game and is ultimately kind of crappy.

I think I may have made it a bit too complex.

You need to take parts of the answers, I think that will tell you what to do next.
 
The Universim - Kickstarter Update #62 - Creator Powers

WHAT IS IT?

Creator Powers give players the ability to influence their surroundings and have a great time manipulating the game’s physics and simulation aspects. Think of it is as one, big physics-based sandbox. You can grab objects and throw them around, influence your people with special commands, and even trigger horrible disasters. Remember, everything below represents powers and values that are still in testing. They will very likely change, especially once we get some of your feedback.

CREATOR POINTS (CP)

CP acts somewhat like sand in an hourglass. You accumulate CP at a certain rate and each Creator Power costs a varying amount of these points. 3600 Points is the maximum that you can collect at any given time. The CP cost for casting a power depends on the scale of the action it performs. For example, if you want to pull a tree or rock from the ground and throw it, it will only cost a few points. However, should you wish to cast a more awe-inspiring power, such as a natural disaster, it will cost a huge number of points, if not all of them.

TYPES OF CREATOR POWERS
  • INTERVENTION
    • Basic Object Interaction. Cost: 60 CP
      This is the bread and butter of any god. Who doesn’t enjoy throwing stones, trees, or people around? The harder you fling an object, the more damage it will do to anything it hits.

    • Inspiration. Cost: 600 CP (10 minutes)
      Screenshot_at_Dec_26_09_45_09_4.png

      A rousing speech can only be so effective, which is why your unquestionable sway over lesser-minded creatures is so important. Casting this on a crowd of Nuggets will make them work faster, increase their Might, and refill their stamina bars. It’s like an energy drink from the gods.

    • Construction & Repair Focus Cost: 600 CP (10 minutes)
      Screenshot_at_Dec_26_09_51_32.png

      Nuggets aren’t really programmed to do exactly as you wish, especially when it comes to construction, which is why you need a way in which to communicate your orders without drawing too much suspicion. Casting the Focus power on a building will make it shine brightly and draw Construction Nuggets to the scene to either repair or construct the building. They won’t suspect a thing.

    • Inconceivable. Cost: 600 CP (10 minutes)
      Ever wondered how you lose 100 or so kilograms of useless fat? Cut him out of the relationship. This power will make a female Nugget pregnant without the help of a male.

    • Immortality. Cost: 2400 CP (40 minutes)
      Some say immortality is a curse. We say that our favorite Nuggets don’t have much of a choice in the matter. This power will ensure a desired Nugget never feels the touch of time. They can, however, still feel the teeth of a wild animal or the effects of starvation, so try to keep them safe.

    Destroction.gif
    Bounce.gif

  • TERRAFORMING
    • Plant 10 Trees Cost: 2400 CP (40 minutes)
      Cutting down trees a little too quickly? Is the air getting a little too hard to breathe? Well, slap a few trees down and call it a day.
    • Plant 1 Tree Cost: 420 CP (7 minutes)
      For every 420 Creator Points spent, we will plant a tree to help save the planet.
    • Drop 10 Stones Cost: 2400 CP (40 minutes)
      Planting trees is one thing, but you don’t really plant rocks without good reason. It’s far more fun to drop them.
    • Drop 1 Stone Cost: 420 CP (7 minutes)
      This power is interesting in that one can actually throw the rock with varying force, damaging or destroying anything in its path. You can also just drop it, but that doesn’t sound nearly as fun.
    • Cloud Formation Cost: 840 CP (14 minutes)
      Want a quick shower? Try forming rain clouds that react to the environment around them. Better watch where the wind is blowing or your plans to put out a fire may go in a completely different direction.
    • Thermostat Cost: 3600 CP (60 minutes)
      Everyone has fooled around with the thermostat at least once in their lives. Now you can do so on a planetary scale. Using this power will allow you to increase or decrease the temperature of the planet by 10 degrees celsius for 1 hour. It can be cast multiple times. Be careful, many plants and living creatures don’t react kindly to rapid climate change.
  • DISASTERS
    Yes, I do want to set the world on fire.

    Collapse.gif

    • Lightning Strike Cost: 420 CP (7 minutes)
      Pretend you’re Zeus by unleashing the power of lightning upon the world. Lightning strikes deal damage to both buildings and creatures. They can also cause fires to start spreading, which react with wind direction and speed.
    • Earthquake Cost: 3600 CP (60 minutes)
      Earthquakes are fun to watch, mainly due to their destructive nature, but they can also assist your civilization. Earthquakes open up new resource deposits for your people to mine, and include resources such as oil, wood, stone, and so on. However, the location of an earthquake is always random, so be mindful of the dangers.
    • Volcano Cost: 3600 CP (60 minutes)
      You raise me up, so I can spew out lava. That’s how the song goes, right? Using this power will create a volcano that increases the temperature in its radius of effect and destroys anything within its critical zone. It lasts for 120 minutes, so don’t expect this to be a simple trip to the disaster drive-through.
    • Tornado Cost: 3600 CP (60 minutes)
      Tornado.gif

      An uncontrollable, spinning force of nature that sucks up anything in its path and spews it across the countryside. You can choose where it begins, but it decides where to end.
    • Meteor Strike Cost: 1200 CP (20 minutes)
      There’s something about bombarding the surface of a planet with giant space rocks that’s so very satisfying. However, these are no mere space rocks. Every meteor strike will include what we call a Pandora’s Box. These boxes can either include helpful gifts, such as a new Research Item or a collection of resources, or deadly surprises, such as a bomb or a contagious virus.

Please let us know in the comments if we're missing "Must Have" of Creator Powers.

Happy Holidays!

Yesterday it simply seemed like nobody was in control at Valve and everyone just had to race to HQ.

I'm sorry but what did you expect to see?
A sort-of 90s bad sci-fi hacking scene, with a 8-bit virus sprite eating your data while a rain of green numbers spread all over the screen and a big white "counter-hacking in process: 20% of the hack remaining" writing flashing in the middle?

Fixing web servers problems is an absurdly boring thing, and I'm pretty sure if movies and series started depicting it as it actually is in real life, we would see a huge drop in CS courses attendance.



Fun fact, now that someone mentioned it in the other thread, I remember once that my ISP had pretty much the same problem.
My account page was another person's account page, and I had access to pretty much everything (didn't try doing shenaningans, but still).
I called them immediately, they acknowledged the fact and told me to just wait.
After a couple of days things were back to normal.

They didn't give me neither Infamous nor the Valve Pack, nor anything really. :(

I assume the difficulty ratings mean which letter from each word you have to take. No idea what 0 means though.
