It was meant to be tongue in cheek, given I listed Wheelman which is basically impossible to get (just ask Jase)
That might be true, but it does seem at least more accurate than the other counters.
It happens on free weekends deals, the subs get added and then removed from your account.
I think there is only one instance of a game being removed from people's libraries though.

thanks for ethan meteor hunter diedac
I've switched to NeoGaf's dark theme. It feels so weird. Who's #teamdarktheme?
Also, no reply re. my AC4 issues? (viewpoint shows as not synced even though I did sync it several times)

I use the dark theme, it's more pleasing to the eye as compared to a bright theme.
It's odd how much I'm enjoying Super Sanctum TD when by all rights, it's no more impressive than a lot of the tower defences I used to play on Warcraft III mods back during Battle Net's heyday. Perhaps the simplicity works in it's favour as well as goals to achieve.

Dark theme, 100ppp, GAF Gold.
The only way to roll.

Decided to check the Community Page for Dark Souls II since it's pretty much my most anticipated game for PC in the upcoming month (but I will only get it in May, ugh) and the first thing I saw was this:
...Why people waste their time with such pointless post is beyond me!
He's a member of neogaf community also, and also has a vac ban on record too (aka questionable moral fiber).

I use dark on CAG too... but it sucks because block list entries weren't skinned.
agreed.

I'm still adapting to it, it all seems so dark, and the colours for one's own posts and quotes aren't super nice. But in the same way that going from light to dark seemed like everything was suddenly pitch-black and high-contrast, I imagine going back to light now would feel like waking up in a hospital bed, staring at blinding neon lights hanging from the ceiling

Pretty much.
Dark is much nicer on the eyes.
Tropico 4 Collector's Bundle (includes various DLCs) is 4.5$/3.25 on nuuvem at the moment.
You and your dark theme.
I try it every couple of weeks but it always seems a little off.
Like, way darker than the light one.
Also
Steam : Dark Theme = Origin : Light Theme
So I'm totally rocking Light Theme with no downtime and 10x bandwith of what is allowed by my ISP!

But of course I've switched to Dark because it's that time of the month.
Game by game basis. Check the prices for individual cards and compare them to the booster pack amount. Sometimes it is better to sell them individually, and you have the small chance of a foil.
If you really want a Call of Duty medal on your profile, then go ahead.
There is a settings menu for the mobile app, allows you to change theme and turn off gifs.

I know, but I can't get used to it like on my desktop. It's so weird with everything being black and the bars being blue.
I've been trying to solve this issue with Far Cry 3. When I access the Steam overlay I just can't click in anything, and when I alt+tab the game window keeps active, even when I click on taskbar items or try to switch to another app. Do you guys know a way to fix this? Tried in borderless, windowed and full screen.
Edit: Just fixed it. For those having the same problem on Windows 8 or 7, you just have to change some compatibility options on the executable.

Only peasants use light theme. Are you a peasant?
Ahaha, I murdered my own eyes in the same way right before your post.
Mass social websites should all converge to the same color for our comfort.

Dark theme only for me.
I recently swapped to the dark theme after getting my new monitor which doesn't really have backlight control. Was a bit weird at first, but I think I've gotten used to it.
Nice. Would be great if it did manage to get on Steam.I tweeted JAST USA earlier today in regards to a Steam release of Steins;Gate. They are working on it.

I switched to dark almost immediately. It's much easier on my eyes/headaches.

I just bought Thief: Deadly Shadows. I like stealth games and this one looks like something I could get into.
Questions:
- How good is it compared to the other two games?
- Do I need to watch/read a plot summary of the other two games before playing it? (But don't suggest me to play the other ones first. I'm not kidding myself, I simply can't get into old games when I lack my nostalgia shades and the graphics/mechanics look too dated. Believe me)

Same - light theme at work (looks a little less obvious that it's, umm, not work related that way); dark theme everywhere else.

I use the default theme during the day and dark theme at night. It's easier on the eyes at night, though the brightness doesn't bother me during the day.

I definitely prefer the Dark Theme (and in Football Manager too...), mainly due to eyesight. But it's pretty interesting to read that some people switch according to the time of day.

I'm a peasant using the light theme
As a guest, I clicked on the link for the dark theme and didn't know how to change it back. I found it harsher on my eyes.

The Thief game ranking is basically:
thi4f<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Deadly Shadows<Thief<Thief II
Hmm... Since it's the capstone of the trilogy, knowledge of the previous games' plot is not required, per se, but helps.
Also, there are texture and model patches for the first 2 games that make them look 'better'. The mechanics are timeless, and they're perfectly playable with the resolution patches.

I prefer dark themes on everything except iBooks, when its daytime.
Recovery Search & Rescue Simulator is 75% off for another 12 hours.
Ah, so Steins is coming to Steam. I knew I read that somewhere at some point.

The first two Thief games may look dated, but they're more mechanically complex than the latter two. Nothing nostalgic about it, what they lack in visuals they make up for in playability. Then again, I guess you could call that dated by virtue of being from a time where design was more sky's the limit and less about fear of lack of accessibility.
That said, the third game is a fine entry, and has one of the standout levels in the entire series.
There have Oscar winners that can't act for shit though
Should I buythis? Should I wait for a bundle?
I'm sure it'll be in a Bundle Stars bundle within the next few months.

Thanks guys. If I long for more after Deadly Shadows I will try the first two games as well.
Yeah, probably on ExtremeSims3 I'm guessing. Gonna wait then. Really want this and Car Mechanic Sim 2014.
Talking about Sim bundles, I'm still on the edge on buy the Groupees one. I do want Police Force but it doesn't seem that they are putting it on Steam anytime soon.

For the last 2 days every time i try to upload Screenshots on the steam cloud i get error, anyone else had this problem or its just my luck?
Works fine for me past few days. So not sure what the problem is, I've had that problem before once or twice, just went away by itself after a while.
