Disgaea PC uses paletted texture formats.
I haven't seen one of those in a decade. Pretty amazing.
(Before anyone misunderstands, this is not a bad thing. Or a good thing. It's just a thing)

I think the Steam controller really is the first PC controller.

Great giveaway and thanks.
I entered for Ashes of Singularity.

I hope tomorrow when preordering the Vive that you dont have to pay up front. I still wanna see and wait. Hope someone will make Oculus games available for Vive and vice versa.
I suppose mine is basically like the majority here. Sorted on genres, but series with three games or more get their own folder. And while a few people call certain games "shit", I just call then games I'm uninterested in (e.g. gotten in bundles, or disappointments).
Are you going to do a write up, either on your blog or proper PCG article if you have the time? You seem quite enamoured with how it's been brought over so could be a great read.
Going from the blog post that was linked in the pricing thread it sounds like funds are checked/allocated on credit card transactions and paid in full on check out for PayPal transactions. So depends on your bank I'd assume but over here funds can only be held for 5 working days so it would more likely be a check to make sure you have suffcient funds and then charged on dispatch.
If with shipping it works out about £730-750 I get the feeling I'm going to do something very stupid.

I can't bother to go that in depth with my lists. I have maybe 10? I sort games by what priority to play, indie or aaa, and if I've beaten them or not.
ON HARD DIFFICULTY - BECAUSE THAT IS THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED, OR ELSE THE ALIEN IS DUMB AS FUCK
No, I'm just having a look because I want to try to xbrz the sprites.
It took me a good long while to understand what's going on -- I don't think anyone expects to encounter a palettized texture format in 2016.

Feel free to use these, every title on Steam fits in one of these categories.
Hey, good to have you back.
For once I can say, I know this reference.
I still wonder how I forgot to back Moon Hunters when the KS was ongoing. At least it's coming out soon.

You can just delete everything that is trash (anime) from your account. Do it. Right the wrongs.
Your list is very similar to mine. I go so far as to put games into multiple categories, in case I want to play a game of a particular type.
For someone who is completely stupid. What does palettized texture mean?

Cleanse it with fire.
My scroll bar so long my finger gets tired fam. Categories are really useful when you get into the high 100's.
I have a non-Steam category, but that's it. Can't have shortcuts mingling with my actual games, no sir!

How many pixels is your scroll bar?
Missed this post. Entering my first.
Haha, it stops shrinking after a certain point and instead just takes longer to move down.

Does that mean that you don't play games for extended periods?

Yeah that is nice but then we see situations like Adrift where VR is exclusive to Oculus.
From what Adam Orth wrote it seems its not exclusive, but will launch there first. The whole announcement is a mess though.
I just wonder why not just announce it now. I mean they announced it for the Vive and Oculus before and judging from that it seems they ported it to SteamVR/OpenVR.
I saw it with a lot of devs though. They say "We first focus on Oculus, then maybe port it to Vive."

This "it isnt exclusive and it isnt timed" seems it will also be available for the Vive launch. The whole exclusive shenanigans with the VR headsets are fucking stupid and not really consumer-friendly.

That's my goal, to get to the smallest scroll bar, then I stop buying Steam games FOREVER!!!
not really

My guess is that Oculus gave them money and they signed contract similar to one that MS had for X1 indie devs where game had to be X1 exclusive first (if i remember correctly). Yes those games will come to Vive to but people don't want it 6 months after Vive release.
Edmund Mcmillen initially believed Isaac would sell less than 100 copies due to the difficulty, vague mechanics, and subject matter.
There's also The Division and Black Desert Online.
I don't have the time for either any more, so my decisionn is essentially made for me.

Back before we had ample memory, bandwidth and compute power, rather than images being stored as separate intensity components for e.g. red, green and blue, many formats used a palette which maps indices to RGB values. That way, you only need to store an index into that palette for each pixel of your image, rather than separate R, G and B values. Of course, this results in a limited number of useable colors -- e.g. with 4 bits per pixel it's 16 colors, with 8 it's 256.
Glad you enjoyed it! Personally loved every second once I got into it. I remember the first time I failed to beat a trace. I felt shaken up in reality. The red screen and immediate shut down felt life ending. It was good at what it did, for sure. Best 6-7h I spent, I'd say.
I didn't realise the dev was planning to implement either of those. Huh. Will keep a look out. Maybe I'll see you when it's put in.
Actually, I don't think I have you as a Steam friend. Mine is my homepage here, so just click my name.
The No Data one is the best.

But at least Adam Orth said it isnt timed, so shouldnt it come to the Vive a at Vive release?
We will see but if they can't clear things now you know that something is happening.

I love mega giveaways that aren't free for alls because you really have to be strategic. Do you go for something smaller but less competitive, or for the big prize? But what if everyone avoids the big prize because they don't think they have a chance?

Probably my favorite games of this last decade. Has Edmund mentioned doing another dlc for Rebirth? I'm hoping he does a different game and then comes back with Isaac 2 a few years down the line.

Go big or go home. ARK being a small indie project, not even completed to boot (!) makes it a total no-go. No one should enter for that. Like for realz, guys.

Knowing the big giveaway was NOWINNERSDAILY, you did your own giveaway to take some competitors out of the pool. Smart man.
Arab countries don't like lesbians, innit?
You can always get the DRM-free version from Mangagamer.
Sadly, no Steam key there, due to all the scammers.
Isn't it bad though? I mean, GPUs don't support that ever since... SM1 days? Might this be the cause for the performance issues people are having?
(Or are the current GPUs strong enough that they can brute force this?)
