Valve was telling you, that you have no friends. :p
----------------------------

So I reinstall Steam > then I followed Anteater instruction on how to save your Grid View Game Banners locally. I think it work because now my art is loading pretty quickly, though there is still a noticeable lag when you try to scroll up and down.

I don't think you have to reinstall Steam for it to work but I just wanted to start fresh. Here is his instruction again if you want to try it out.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Just got a +20 to my game count by going through Steam and finding the Free or Free to Play games that I was missing that give a +1.

And I just got a -1 to my game count. What the hell man :/

I've had 1,160 games for a looong time, and now it just dropped to 1,159.

Is there any way to check what game it was?

Anyone played Gods Will Watching now that the new patch is out? Wondering if it is worth bothering with right now since I really didn't like what I played when it launched

Do you need to begin installing them or clicking on play now should be enough?
Click to expand...

I think you have to have it open the installation dialog in Steam for it to register. You don't have to actually start downloading anything, you can cancel that dialog immediately after it pops up if you're just chasing that +1.

Yup, I didn't remember I already owned the first of your list, so it wasn't adding the +1 no matter what. ^^


EDIT: also I'm feeling kinda bad I'm getting the 500 badge this way. :(
no, not really

Have plenty to play but currently in that mood where I'm just too lazy to start anything.
Will probably just finish up Star Trek THE GAME.

Hmm...today is the last day for Target's deal on Steam wallet (and PSN/XBL/eShop) cards. Basically 12.5% (with an additional 5% with RED card) off when you buy two cards. Considering if I want to stack up on them for the winter sale.

I mean, it's a decent deal, but there might be a better deal closer to the winter sale, sort of similar to how there was a Target deal near the summer sale.

I bought a card solely for money to last until the winter sale and for buying cards. Those Trails cards weren't cheap as far as cards go :| The backgrounds though :D

I have been interested in this game after watching a video on Joystiq. However, comments in here have made me think harder about if I would enjoy it. The video made it look very interesting though.

Screenshot problem from earlier also exists in Sniper Elite 3... I have no idea what the heck is going on. Probably somebody is around who can help me out now.

So, I have everything set up like this. I never had any problems until recently.

But the screenshots of more and more games are not placed in the Steam userdata screenshot folder so I cannot share them comfortably. Instead, Steam decides to put them into a subfolder (named after the game) in the "uncompressed" screenshot folder and doesn't even save the uncompressed copy at all.

So for example Sniper 3 screenshots are jpgs placed in a folder like this and are not recognized by the Steam screenshot utility. The meta.txt contains a hash of the GameID and the game name.

So is it common for Steam cards to feature spoilers? Really disappointing to find that a mystery game has a pretty obvious character spoiler on a card.

Will Kingdoms of Amalur get better after a while?

The quests I currently get are usually pretty boring ("Break 10 chests" or "Kill the two guys") and the comic look graphics are not exactly my cup of tea.

I'm still rather early in the game (between 2-3 hours) and I'm currently deciding if it's worth 5€ and if I will even finish it. If the same style of quests stay on for the next 50 hours or so, I don't think I will be friends with this game. It's like a simplified "Skyrim" (has almost every aspect Skyrim has) but in quests and handling more like "Diablo". Is that assumption correct and can somebody tell me if I should continue or quit?

Yeah, the entire game is comprised of tedious fetch quest design through uninteresting spaces.

I finally got the Kisses pattern in Payday 2 (my first one in the entire time I've been playing) so I can make the mask I've wanted to try since early on when I started the game.

It uses the Gagball Mask + Kisses Pattern + Double Red Color but I'm unsure of what material to use. I have most of them, but I've thinking between these three (excuse the shitty compression).

I'm leaning more toward the third one but I can't decide. Due to how mask customization works in Payday 2, I only have one shot with the pattern unless I randomly find another one. :(

Those masks (and most masks in Payday 2) are absolutely terrifying. In my opinion. Really, though, I find all the masks in that game pretty ugly, except maybe the Optimus Prime ripoff.

Don't obsess about completing every side-quest you find. There's far too many of them and it just means you get incredibly over-leveled.

I think usually 10% is the highest it goes outside of stuff like this. Might just buy $100 though.

Yea I don't like most of the masks but there are some great combinations from the limited customization. I'm way too cautious about experimenting because most of them are single use only though.

I've been using this mask since basically when I started. I did it before I realised that patterns were once use only so if I could find another I would probably go a little different with it. I still like it though.

I tried to make one that looked disturbing but ended up just looking bad.

That's reassuring that someone else likes that one the best.

Overdrive Working On New Go! Go! Nippon! Game

Earlier in the year, Hiroshi “Bamboo” Takeuchi, the president of visual novel developer Overdrive, said that he was encouraged by the sales of Go! Go! Nippon!, the studio’s first visual novel aimed at the Western market.

Go Go Nippon! is a game that puts you in the shoes of a boy visiting Japan for the first time, and being shown around by a pair of twin girls. The game went on to sell 10,000 copies, which is fairly impressive for a visual novel, and Takeuchi said that he would like to create a “version 2” of the game with updated aspects.

True to his word, Takeuchi appears to be doing just that. Last month, on Twitter he revealed: “I started the development of ‘Go! Go! Nipppon-2014-’.”

Why is this thread on the second page?

Is there any way to fix/remove the download progress bar?

If you're looking for an outside opinion I like the middle one better personally, but the third would definitely be my second choice.
