Hey, what should I play first machnarium or botanicula?

In steamgaf I trust.

Depends on what you feel like playing at the moment? Machinarium follows the path of a traditional adventure game with inventory management and elaborate puzzles. Botanicula felt simpler and straight-forward while having what I felt a much more lively world.

Restarting the game has, surprisingly, proven less tedious than I'd thought, but if by some cruel twist of fate both my current saves and backup saves vanish into the digital ether, then it'll be a long time before I bother again.

Is there any way to remove unwanted games from Steam? My sister got me Trine 1 and 2 on GOG and I have Trine 2 Steam staring at me. My OCD is killing me.

You can actually remove subs from you Steam account. Just do a quick bit of googleing and a couple guides will pop up.

Essentially, you email customer support and tell them to remove the licence(s) completely from your account, citing a portion of their TOS. Then tell them that you know you will no longer have access to the game and that you will get no compensation for the action.

Incorrect, the only way is to start a new account, surely.

Thanks. I will try that. : )

Delete the GOG installers. Steam Trine 2 is infinity times superior because it has online coop.

I did not know that. Will look further into it.

A couple people posted this earlier in the year, and we had a couple people document its use in the thread.

Apparently its built right into Steam's EULA and you can use that to your advantage.

He's jokingly referencing HolyBaikal's little meltdown earlier in the year:

HolyBaikal said:
It sounds like there is something wrong with the system that once you buy a game, you're stuck with it forever.

If that's the case, I may just create a whole new account or abandon Steam altogether. I don't to put up with my DD library being a nasty place. My Steam library should be my happy place. A library full of good stuff I'm happy to open up.

Though that would mean buying the games I love all over again. And I don't think that would be worth it. It might be best to just abandon Steam altogether.
Click to expand...

It wasn't the case, but he went ahead with making a new account, anyway. And so we fast-forward to...

HolyBaikal said:
WHY THE FUCK DID I NEED TO SHARE THIS SHIT? WHO'S FUCKING BUSINESS IS IT?

FUCKING MINE. AND I'M SOME FUCKING ATTENTION WHORE BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS.

FUCK.

You didn't have to respond to such an overused retort, but I appreciate it :). Man that guy did go crazy though, I loved that melt down.

Good to know there's a way though.

Steam Trine versions are better, auto patched, achievements, etc, etc

I keep gog for old games, but generally I prefer new games on steam. Of course Gog versions are DRM free.

Sorry guys, references like that always go over my head. I do remember that little meltdown, though I did check out of that one quickly once it started escalating.

I read the explanation above...had a look at the thread creation history... Yeah not touching that one.

At least the steam thread has a little closure.

I guess having an issue with Saints Row 3 and being an anime fan could work...but it is still like a one legged man spending his days hopping through minefields.

That's because you're too busy playing classics like Knack on your new PS4 :p
