You're just upset that you're technically in the racist category because you haven't played Toki Tori.

It's okay. You can change who you are. You can break the cycle.
 
So uhhh, I am playing GTAIII on my new PC.

And for some reason, turning off Frame Sync messes with the controls and seems to put some odd permanent brake thing on every car I drive. Like, when I let go of the accelerator, instead of the car rolling to a stop, it instantly stops as though it is slamming on the brakes. And I can't seem to go into reverse or else it will just spin the tires and do a burnout instead.

Makes no sense at all.

Thanks for making me check my email and deleting all those WoW phishing scams that have been piling up for days.

But still no DOTA2 key!

There's a problem here. This Venn Diagram implies that everyone who hates on Toki Tori has played it.
Yeah, "people who have played Toki Tori" and "racists" have to be swapped around.

If anyone has an extra copy of DOTA 2, I would be happy to take one off your hands.

:D

Also that D-bag selling Batman on hardforum raised the price to $35. Apparently getting the cards for free = lets RIP OFF more people! Greedy bastard.

He's only a dbag now after he raised the price, right?

So he's collectively saved GAF a few hundred dollars, raises the price to a point that's still lower than what you can buy it for, and he's a dbag now. God forbid he sold it at $35 all along and saved everyone just a bit less money.

Is the community down for anyone else?

Yeah, it's loading the store page instead. I guess this is Gabe's way of forcing me to buy something. :(

edit - K now nothing loads.

The sole act of raising the price can be considered "greedy", not the price itself; If he started selling them at $35, it wouldn't be considered as greedy, because the price was set since the beginning.
As the release date gets closer, I'm guessing purchases increase due to increased anxiety of purchase or something :p

I am not sure you understand venn diagrams. it would be exactly the same after you swap it.

I have a Steam code that I'll sell you for $25. Nvidia code, so Steam and all.

No it wouldn't, because then it would be saying that people who somehow simultaneously have and haven't played Toki Tori are racists.
 
I'm done dealing with categories and I'm wondering if there's a fast way to remove them all rather than right clicking each game and removing it?

Wait long enough and Valve will do it for you!

How is that greedy?

You know I just typed 3 paragraphs trying to argue your points. But what's the point.

Sent a PM to Dyslexic.

YOU GREEDY BASTARD!!!

-_- I'm just saying, am I the only person here that sees the ridiculousness of him raising prices, no matter what you are saving. I think many people are missing the point.

They are stored here: Steam\userdata\<ID>\7

If you want to make backups simply copy/paste the folder 7. That's what Steam support said at least.

So a copy of Vampire: The Bloodlines was gifted to me, I try to start it up tonight and:

Seriously! What exactly is a Steam subscription?

I thought I owned these games. I'm not paying a monthly fee here...

I think it's just a general term for having purchased the game. You own a permanent "subscription" or whatever.

Think of it more as an indefinite lease subject to terms and conditions. After all, your games are tied to an account owned by the operator of the service. Really, though, for all intents and purposes, you do own the games tied to your Steam account.

Edit: As for your particular issue, my guess would be that the gift didn't process correctly and now, while the game appears in your library, Steam believes you don't actually own it. Send off a ticket to Support.

:lol

While agreeing completely with the preceding two posts, I have no explanation for why I cannot play this game.

Have you tried actually contacting Steam support?
Nope, just tried for the first time like 30 mins ago. As always I go to GAF first with my problems.

Will email them now...
 
So apparently Dungeon Defenders PC outsold the console versions pretty good, yet they will only have 'special events' on the console versions. I guess they didn't think the PC version would sell so good and then didn't adapt.

PC Dungeon Defenders sells 200k


Oh, and Fatshark (the devs behind Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, Lead & Gold and Hamilton's Great Adventure) are announcing their new game today, get hype!

Yeah, also got my Sonic Generations key, and Steam says the game will be playable at about 8PM EST. Anyway, downloading it now, a good 8.6GB

Knowledge is power, guard it well
So I transferred Deus Ex: HR over from a storage HDD to the Steam folder on my SSD, but I can't get Steam to recognize the game.

Any ideas? It would really annoy me to redownload all 8GB of data, when I'm already staring at them in the proper folder.

p.s. - I've already tried deleting ClientRegistry.blog

But the PC version does have special events. it shows you every time on what's coming up once you join a ranked server.

I hope the Sanctum maps aren't going to be 1,99€ a pop again.
