How does steam cloud work? New comp here, some save files are here and some aren't, what gives?
Click to expand...

Not all games have cloud. Those that do will sync the local and cloud save files. Usually right after you stop playing they will upload the save. Maybe it happens during play to idk.

Right-click on the game and check properties/updates for the game's cloud settings.

Enter The Gungeon is the bees' knees, for sure. It's willing to sting you, but when you die, it's ultimately because you suck rather than the game being over-powering. Each time I play, I can tell I'm getting better. Thoroughly digging it.

that WindowBlinds program looks interesting...not interesting enough for me to pay $9.99 though
Click to expand...



Yeah, it's 10 bucks, or 5 if you had already paid for a previous version.

I think it's well worth it though.
edit: There is a 30 day trail and I recommend to try that first. To make sure you have nothing against the "feel" of having a custom skin applied. Because there could be very tiny visual glitches.
Also some incompatibility stuff is still being worked on. For example, I can't click the File buttons etc. in the top left of Spotify.


----------------------------------------------------------------


However, there is a free theming method. And the possibilities also look good enough, or maybe even better than with WindowBlinds. This method enables more "clean" skins: WindowBlinds skin can look too bloated in comparison.

Installation method:

Baldur's Gate is still amazing. I lost 4 hours to it without even trying yesterday.

I'm always impressed with how epic the game is, right from the start. Wild areas are expansive, cities are bustling, and quests are around every corner. Even with the spartan dialog in BG1, so much character still shines through. And I haven't even met Minsc yet.

I didn't even know there was a business for selling Windows skins wth
Click to expand...

Yeah, lots of themes on wincustomize.org are free but there are also paid ones called Master Themes. Note the stamp in the upper right: http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds

I've paid for some, though I find the price to be quite high: 5 to 7 bucks each.

But some really do look slick though. Samples:

I've also recently started replaying the game and have similar feelings. As for the bolded part, I'm going to give at an epicness score of golden pantaloons out of 10

Vaping Congressman accused of using campaign funds on $1300 worth of Steam games

Anyway, he's back in hot water -- hee hee! -- for allegedly using campaign funds on videogames on 68 separate occasions over a scant two month period, totalling $1302.
Click to expand...

Supposing each transaction represents a separate game, that's an average of $19 per title, and considering the buying period ran from October 13th to December 16th of last year, I'm going to wager a lot of those were newer releases and big box games purchased during Steam's end-of-the-year sale
Click to expand...

The purchases are disclosed in his 2015 campaign finances as "personal expense -- to be paid back."

well I guess we have a politician that can fight for more anime now

But what is that in metacritic? These are perilous times for Baldur's Gate and its scores.

Is the gameplay for The Banner Saga Factions the same as The Banner Saga? I'm trying to find a demo to see if I like it and that was the closest thing.

The combat, yes. Factions is basically the MP part of the game, released earlier as F2P.

The regular game also has all the caravan management/roleplaying part.

As I understand it, yes. Though it's just the battles, not any campaign or narrative stuff.

Speaking of SRPG's, I would pay upwards of $15 for a PC port of Final Fantasy Tactics.
It got a mobile port and everything..

when given that choice i always go 60fps
whats the point in it looking good if it runs like shit
Click to expand...

Well, personally I prefer better IQ than framerates.
Rather than turning down settings to low to achieve 60fps, it's better to set it to high/max and deal with 30fps.

I'd pay $60 for a remaster/remake version of FF Tactics.
The game is way too old and that's also the reason why I don't bother with Disgaea PC.

Sorry mate, I've already played my fair share of Disgaea when I owned it on my PSP.
