As a consumer, I like Steam's policy to maintain low discounts on games.

Trying to stay on top of my card drops was something I gave up on long ago - the potential time involved (even if just largely idling, setting and forgetting, etc) just got a little out of hand:
2069 card drops remaining
548 games with drops remaining
Righto, you've convinced me not to bother, zky.

sweet
i feel like if i did one good thing in 2016, this was it
Oh yeah, taking about cards and selling them, is there a way to rank them in a fast way through selling price? I currently have 64 pages of cards and doing it individually would be horrific.
Thanks!!

I was at your point a month and a half ago. I launched a script to make the cards drop instantly using Idle Master. Then I used a script to auto-sell them at an adaptive price, with a tool inferior to this newer one: https://github.com/Nuklon/Steam-Economy-Enhancer
It is not that annoying if you can automate the process.
You don't have to do it manually: https://github.com/Nuklon/Steam-Economy-Enhancer
If it wasn't for cards, I'd never buy cosmetic DLC for Paradox games.
I'll never understand how:
- system wars horseshit stated honestly == derision
- system wars horseshit masked as pretending to be a stupid member of opposing party == totally fine
OH MY GOD HE REALLY GOT EM THOSE CONSOLE FANBOYS DON'T KNOW SHIT when the entire thread is people trying to correct the OP for his errors. Like, who are we supposed to be laughing at? The fake position that console warriors haven't actually taken? The non-existent position that PC warriors also aren't taking?
I'm just mostly shaking my head at someone purposely trying to start shit that no one is falling for.
How do you know the Steam thread isn't a parody?

I might've bought more games in BST than I did from Steam or other storefronts during the sale... I have about $10 in Steam credit from a couple refunds that I need to make use of considering putting it towards either God Eater 2 or Xanadu Next, the latter I might hold off on for a bigger discount especially since I probably won't get to it any time soon.

How do you suddenly appear here? You hear your name whenever someone writes it on the Internet?
This is your first post in this 144-page-long thread.
You don't post in the Steam thread, so it can't be a parody.
kill la kill is not a parody
kill la kill celebrates all it's making fun of
and it makes fun of all that stuff cos it knows it's awesome and it loves it
yeah thats why I dropped it

"There might be a tiny minority of console fanboys that would look at the state of 4K gaming and think that it might be more feasible by buying a PS4Pro, so I will purposely take that false position that barely anyone holds and present myself as such. Now hopefully a bunch of console fanboys will agree with me and we can point and laugh. But since I am facetiously posting here, when no one actually falls for it, I can say 'it was all a joke!' and laugh at the people who were trying to correct the falsehoods in my parody. Either way, I will come out looking clever and prevent my own Junioring/banning by saying it was all a ruse."

It's nearly the same price on steam and you can refund it if it's crap.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Depends if you want like to play a subpar, broken, buggy and ugly Hitman.
Hmmm. OK.
On a related topic, I have a 1080 and a 6700k and I can run a lot of games at ultra and 60fps at 1440p. 4K is a totally different story. If developers keep making their graphics more demanding, performance at 1440p will start to suffer and I'll need to get a better graphics card and better processor. So at what point will things converge so a single graphics card will be enough to push 2160p@60fps, and especially not for the $750-$850 graphics card.

It's not good satire if it's not relatively plausible, and I can tell you, any time you leave any of the major PC community threads, you'll find that isn't far from what's usually posted about PC's. If you've missed such sentiments, I applaud you.
In fact I should spend less time on GAF anyway.
Sure, you can argue that it'd be best to make an educational thread, but those aren't mildly amusing, and they won't get read so, dunno.
I think now that VR is mostly covered by mid range cards, 4K will be the next generation GPU selling point.

Avoid Alekhine like the plague. Play Death To Spies or, better yet, Hitman instead

I read a hell of a lot of GAF (though I tend to stay out of obvious console wars threads), and I don't really see it. Here's what I usually see:
- People who are excited for console iterations because they like the newest shiniest stuff, but stick solely to consoles for their own reasons. They will usually get really excited about the perceived benefits and will speak positively about them ("Holy shit, 4K, it's totally jaggy free! Looks like a bullshot!"). These people will be seen as "console fanboys that don't know shit" by Pc enthusiasts because really clean image quality has been available through PC games for years. When someone mentions that, they either get defensive or just APPEAR defensive because they don't want to buy a PC, they just want to continue down the upgrade path they've been on for forever.
- People who are sick to death of constantly being told PC gaming is better; some will just not care, but a lot feel like they are being looked down on, so they get defensive. They look for reasons why someone might not want to game on PC and blow them up as argument points.
- People who are sick to death of PC versions not getting mentioned in announcement/hype threads. This one seems weirdly personal to some people. They go into threads where console fanboys are arguing exclusives lists and say "It's on PC too!" as if there was a reason to engage in those discussions in the first place. Aside: I've seen the console-exclusive thing first hand with our game...it's on literally every Youtube video comments section - people whining that it's only going to be on Xbox One, then someone saying that it's also going to be on PC, then someone saying that it will only be on Win10 store, then people going crazy, when we've had the Steam logo and GoG mentions every single time we've released any info about it.
It all just reminds of the "backlash to the backlash is larger than the initial backlash" that seems to happen around here. Everyone gets up in arms about someone else getting up in arms about something that they haven't gotten up in arms about yet.
People are weird.

Started and finished Pony Island, and with the year almost done, that's 40 games "beaten" for me this year.
Looking at that post now, it's a bit sad that most of the games in my "in progress" and "plan to play in 2016" lists have been there since January. I need to start finishing games.

I wonder what games next year ill spend hundreds of hours in which will sidetrack me from the 52 thing.
Marvel Infinite maybe (or 3) if I get into it, but even SFV I only put like 60 hours into.
There's no mmo next year (no wow xpac like this year and no ESO on the horizon that I want to try, unless FF 14 drops the sub), I wont get into any competitive game like I got into Overwatch because thats just not my thing, that one was the exception that proves the rule... so yeah, next year should be easier to do for me.
interesting... F1 2012 and 2011 survived.3.05 - Mr. Robot 🤖: #21281 » [Steam Store] Removed Game: GRID - https://steamdb.info/app/12750/

might have more to do with 2013 having the "Classic" Edition and stuff so possibly rights related
