[Copons]

How long has it been since you reset your PC/restarted Steam?

Actually I don't think it'd matter at all.
I switch OS twice a day, so my Steam is constantly "fresh", but I get bugged playtimes anyway.
At first it seemed it was fixable just playing a game, but now it just feels totally random.

Like, for some time I got 10 hours added to every game played at least once, then games played where reset to correct time, and then again 1-2 hours added to them.
I particularly noticed it for my last LTTP Dark Souls "episode": I checked my time and it was 31 but after recording the video it was 29 and then I switched to Mac to edit the video and it was 31 again and then back to 29 when I went back to Win. I averaged it to 30 and said fuck it, but still.

 

[Turfster]

Almost two weeks, according to Windows. Restarting Steam fixed the issue.

Hm.
It adds an hour for every hour after the first 6 days, maybe?
It's gotta be something like that.
Or not. Curse you for destroying my beautiful theory, Copons!

 

[PixyJunket]

I feel like Volgar the Viking will offer similar gameplay and challenge. Though I haven't played that one yet.

Volgarr the Viking is a much, much better (and enjoyable) challenge than Spelunky.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'm so used to this thread existing that I just look at the first few letters.

Mea culpa.

The pattern of the bug is interesting though. It doesn't seem to affect all games, but almost all of them, and it adds exactly 194 hours.

The pattern of the bug is that it adds the amount of time that you have had the client running to your gameplay time. 194/24 = 8 days--you probably updated your Steam client 8 days ago.

 

[Durante]

It's a metagame. If we figure it out we get HL3.

The pattern of the bug is that it adds the amount of time that you have had the client running to your gameplay time. 194/24 = 8 days--you probably updated your Steam client 8 days ago.

Yeah, or that. I did just see that with the minutes I've had it running now being added.

Still leaves the question of why it doesn't affect a select few games though. Could be the ones launched in the current session?

Woah. I mean, really, woah.

Okay, so I was sort of close!

 

[Stumpokapow]

Well, launching a game corrects the time. I don't know if it immunizes it from further time being added or not.

This game is a candidate for the Indie GAF of October. If you play it, post your impressions there.

[EmergentFocus]

Well, that's the end of that chapter.

I don't care for achievements all too much these days but the ones in Spelunky were a fun challenge that kept me obsessively loading it up, frustratingly quitting after a few deaths, then coming back to it 20 minutes later. Now I'm left with nothing. I guess I could still partake in the daily challenges, but I don't know how long that'll hold me.

I guess it's time to play something else?

Wow, congrats! Have you tried TowerClimb? (Just Greenlit in the last batch)

So, what is the verdict on The Stanley Parable, and how long does the initial playthrough of it take? Enjoyed the source mod, and strongly considering getting it.

 

[KarmaCow]

How wonderful, chapter 4 of the Jake/Sherry RE6 campaign has two game breaking bugs right next each other. The first happens when playing with someone else and they can't see that a door is open. The other is right after that and causes the AI to continually run into a locked door without trying to open it.

I'm actually enjoying my experience with RE6 for the most part but it seems like the game can't go 30 minutes without either shoving some stupid insta-death QTE or "awesome" moment of running down a set path with no other options but to hold down run, and now there are these glitches. The frequency of this bullshit almost makes it seem like they intentionally sabotaged their game.

A fantastic game. I loved it on PC and I think the mobile version is even better. I find that the touchscreen controls are superior than the arrow keys. A game definitely worthy of your Greenlight vote

Boson X is described as a "rotational runner" but that quick description doesn't do justice to this polished reflex testing platformer. You play a man trapped inside a particle collider, running down a procedurally generated path that looks like someone mixed a warp drive with a Super Hexagon-induced nightmare.

Catchy music plays in the background as platforms materialize before you, giving you only seconds to jump left or right or over gaps. Hazards abound and all require quick reflexes to evade: falling platforms, crackling lasers, walls, and more. There are six stages, each with its own unique music, visual scheme, and obstacles.

Like the games that inspired it, Boson X is an addictive, challenging adrenaline rush.

I'll have my Stanley Parable impression up tonight. But in short, it's totally worth getting. I only played for a bit over four hours, but I haven't smiled, laughed, chuckled, or been surprised more by a game in those hours since...well, probably the Portal games.

So I finished Escape Goat, cool game, a little short but fun nonetheless.



There were some tricky achievements like Goat Squeeze and Daredevil.

Now, I'm doing the new challenges that are unlocked once the game is beaten.

If anyone liked this game, I'd also recommend giving Adventures of Shuggy a try.

Fixed!

I think I'm done with Knock Knock. Uninstalled after having 72% of my Achievements unlocked and after reaching to an end that, in order to have a "proper" finish I believe I would have to restart the entire game. I'm good for now.

Also, thank you for the kind giveaway Karma, good luck to all of you!

So my PC just did a POOF sound while playing RE6 and it shut off. Now it won't turn on anymore. Looks like my PSU died? Guess that'd be the cheapest part to replace.

I finished a game this evening too; Mark of the Ninja. I switched to a controller for the last level as there was one section that was demanding some manual dexterity with the keyboard that I am just not up to yet. Still I played all the rest of the game with kb&m and my abilities with same improved quite a lot in that time. When I play it again though I'll do so with a controller, especially now that I know that it was originally designed for that interface. I had a blast with the game but am ready to play something else now. However I just looked at my library and nothing was leaping out at me. i think i has teh steam curse guyz
