Hey guys, I just received this email from Steam. Should I be worried?

I got that too recently. From googling it seems that happens when someone tries to register a key that you already registered to your account. Like the free keys people post in threads.

Edit: links to threads about this.

Yeah, it's not a big deal.

It's the automated message sent when someone uses the "Forgot password" function of Steam and provides a valid e-mail address.

Yeah, OK, that's what I figured (it says specifically about a query for the email address), so I am changing my Steam password regardless. Thanks.

I hadn't been paying attention and had no idea that this was in the works. This is happy news to me.

So close to the summer sale though.

Getting a lot of FF snes era vibes here, wish there was a smooth filter option though.

Have you tried Dungeon Defenders? it's pretty cool if your into loot.

Dungeon Defenders is good but one thing to be aware of if you are on a connection with a data cap - dungeon defenders updates more often than any other game on steam (even TF2) and they are usually 300mb a pop. I've seen multiple updates in one day before. Just something to bear in mind.

Every time I read posts like this I'm so happy I live in a country without data caps. Sucks for you guys though

The combat style (WAIT / CMD / ACT) looks straight out of Grandia.

Yeah, that's a good thing too. I might get this, though I didn't care about the previous episodes or the creator's previous games.

I replayed FF6 on PC and it's a whole different game with those filters.

 

[ShaneB]

I never played Episode 1 and 2, but I'm a sucker for pixel graphics, so I'll probably check it out. Which reminds that Zeboyd's other games are still sitting in my games list waiting to be played

Cthulhu Saves the World is completely worth your time, it is an excellent old school RPG with a fantastic sense of humor.

Ugh, now I have an urge to play Grandia II again. Too lazy to unbox my Dreamcast and dust off my discs. Sega needs to get on bringing more DC games to PC.

Seems like it's happening. Of course we have Jet Set Radio incoming, but according to leaks we have a few games coming later this year, the two I remember were Sonic Adventure 2 and Shenmue.

 

[MRORANGE]

Apparently the Shenmue port has already been finished for some time, last year I believe.

Wouldn't playing on a CRT TV like...have blurred the pixels already? Those huge pixel images from the Penny Arcade game kind of hurt my eyes, and I'm someone that doesn't really mind pixel-ish graphics in say, VVVVVV or Superbrothers.

 

[Nabs]

Maybe you should go get that checked out.

 

[Alex]

I figured there'd have been some kind of good CRT/SD-type filter someone could do by now but I've yet to see one, pixel art is nice but raw pixel art from older games on HD displays can be kind of ick at times.

The normal smoothing filters are just very smudge and look awful, though.

Not the same. Not the same at all. There are CRT filters (which look great) but I think he's talking about something like this: BLAARRGH

Ugh, and I thought the days of clip art were long since gone.

rofl and I thought I was the only one

Smooth filter ≠ CRT filter. CRT filters can look amazing, but they're pretty rare:

Oh I thought he just meant an anti-aliasing or smoothing filter, not that weird stuff.

But I also hate scanlines in CRT filters, so eh. I guess I'm a graphics horse for life. =(

Steam on Linux.

After wearing Steam on Mac, Valve has announced a Linux version of its platform digital distribution would land by 2013, accompanied as it should be a Linux version of Source Engine. That should please fans of this free operating system.

Steam on Linux.

I'd take that with a grain of salt. It appears to be paraphrasing this post over at Phoronix (without giving credit, mind you).

Here's the latest in the steaming excitement concerning Valve's Source Engine and Steam client coming to Linux.

Over the weekend an email was sent in by a Phoronix reader, Joe Davinson, about an email exchange he had with Gabe Newell of Valve. Below is the email screenshot where he says "Yes" to "Will the Linux version of the Steam client be released to the public before the end of this year?"

[Valve's Gabe Says "Yes" To Steam Linux This Year]

This isn't news at all to me, but unfortunately back when I was in Bellevue they asked me to not comment more specifically on their targeted release schedule, so for now you will just have to wait. But what this email confirms for release plans by end of year is already quite accomodating compared to what I was told. Maybe though Valve will finally provide public Linux comments from the E3 Expo?

If you missed the earlier exclusive Phoronix coverage of Valve games and their distribution client coming to Linux, see: Valve's Gabe Newell Talks Linux Steam Client, Source Engine, A Video Of The Source Engine On Ubuntu Linux, and A Special Linux Delivery At Valve Software. If you missed it, they're also still trying to recruit highly-skilled Linux developers.

why you gotta smash my dreams morningbus? Steam is the only real reason right now I'm using Windows

Yeah, there's this weird cycle lately of Steam Linux news showing up (a new NeoGAF thread for instance) that seems to be the news that was already mentioned a month or so ago, when the Phoronix guy went to Valve and took a screenshot of L4D2 running on Linux etc.

 

[morningbus]

I'm excited for it, too. Don't worry.

It's definitely coming and a 2013 target is an incredibly generous release window. So I definitely think we'll see it by then. Just that an alleged email from Gabe is hardly rock-solid confirmation of its release.

 

[HBroward]

There are only a few more hours to get the 25% off discount for pre-ordering Endless Space, an amazingly well done new 4x game. The beta releases today, and the discount will probably drop to 10%. I highly recommend checking it out if you are into those kind of games.

Question, just got the Saints Row the Third Season Pass, but I didn't d/l immediately. How do I install it now or is it automatic?

DLC gets added to the game and should automatically start downloading. You may need to try starting the game to get it to download.

 

[Last Baron]

Anyone else have Dead Hungry Diner Demo - Download paused stuck in their games list? I can't clear it out and can't legitimately download the demo either. My OCPD is twitching.

Hey everyone! I just saw the news about Rainslick3's release date pop up in this thread! Glad to see people are excited about it - it's been extremely fun making this game, but also a ton of work, so I too am excited to see it coming out soon.

That said, I just wanted to clarify that the release date is July 10, not June 10! So it's not a week away, it's about a month away!

ah cool.

Can we have a smooth filter option for the game?

Spoiler

Just to annoy GAF.

And then a super-smooth filter where everything's just blobs of solid colors.

Just in case smooth isn't smooth enough.
