Yeah, this is something i'm iffy about. At the beginning Valve gave a free backpack expander for everyone because more and more items were added. I think Valve ought to expand every user's inventory for free so that everyone can have at least one item of everything there is in the game. So if TF2 current has 3000 unique items that take a slot into inventory, then every user should have a 3000-blocks inventory.

That second shot looks a bit too clean for me. It's the only issue i've had with the project: some of the HD textures need to be a bit grimier so that they match the overall sense of dirt and rawness that a lot of RE4's environments are known for.
Click to expand...

I actually agree with you on this one -- the low quality textures kind of added to RE4's environment. I haven't played the HD remake yet, but they definitely look a little too smooth!

Warning for everyone playing Trails in the sky who's having fun with examining already opened chests:
Don't look into the monster chest that's on the fifth floor in Sapphirl tower after you looted it or your game will get stuck.

Notice how on the left side you can see an arrow pointing downwards, indicating that you can close this text box? Not possible with this chest (on the right) :(

All sounds a bit daft. They really should have made it dlc by now.

On a related note, I wish I could find a custom grid icon for M&MVI. That blank space annoys me.

edit: hmm should I sell my upgraded shotgun, sells for a ton and I could buy the new case and the riot gun, its only 1.0 less dmg un-upgraded, a lot less capacity tho, but Im always reloading anyway

Sell the rocket launcher. It takes up too much space, is one use only, and it's worth a good amount.

I think my tracking for the achievement is bugged as I'm on a lesser count than chests where I've read the message. I guess there's some kinks to be ironed out with them by the looks of things. Saying that I'm holding off updating to a newer version as it appears to be running fine for me.

in OT it was said several times that plot chests don't register and aren't needed for this achievement.

as chests are sometimes
very dangerous to open
, it's better to save before opening any of them, and thanks for warning.

could someone explain to me what sane person would pay $9.99 for just Stranger's Wrath HD when the Oddboxx with the entire series goes for the same price? If you own none of those games on steam then that SW price is incredibly stupid.

The texture project sure is going to be interesting once it's done. I always find it hilarious when fans do more work than the companies.

I was looking into corrosivefrost's modbot issue but it took me forever because I kept searching for cosmicblizzard instead of corrosivefrost. Blizzard. Frost. Both start with C. I didn't sleep much last night. Durrr.

I did find this in one of corrosive's giveaways:
Code: 
31 21:39:23	GA: Adding key for game Transistor
31 21:39:23	GA Search 2.0: Searching for Transistor under check name transistor
31 21:39:23	GA Search 2.0: Still no results, checking Steam
31 21:39:23	GA Search 2.0: Searching Steam for Transistor
31 21:39:24	GA Search 2.0: Steam search result, maybe?
31 21:39:24	GA: Giveaway process: new giveaway created by corrosivefrost
31 21:39:24	GA: Giveaway process: Auto-repost requested and granted.
31 21:39:24	GA: Giveaway Process: Added setup PM to giver corrosivefrost to PM queue
... other stuff here...
[b]31 21:40:55	GA: Error during sending PMs[/b]

I unfortunately can't see what the error was. I don't save detailed error logs normally, because I just go through the main log feed and scroll back to the error, but it's obviously been too long now to do that.

Anyway, it doesn't look like something I can immediately fix.

Also have you noticed that a lot of the Steam Community Pics are from GAFfers? I'm getting weird random people commenting on mine every so often. I've seen a couple of yours in the top 10.

Hmmm idle master was closed again when I woke up. I wonder what the issue is. Since there's no sort of log I can look at. Steam and everything else was open and there's nothing that said it crashed.

It's the newest version so I'm guessing its toes to my PC falling asleep or hibernating.

I think it's like 7-8 drops a week and it resets on Wednesdays or something like that. Drops come at the end of games usually. My drop rate is super consistent in Competitive.
Click to expand...

They mostly drop alot in Comp due to the longer nature of the matches. But yeah it's usually 4 crates and 4 skin drops a week, sometimes a bit less if you unlucky or don't play enough. Pretty nice with the Breakout cases from teh new Operation and I have easily made back the 6$ I spent to get the pass.

Try running it through a command prompt (as in search for 'cmd' and go to the directory where you have Idle Master and then run start.exe) and then you should be able to see that activity IM is doing and what might cause it to stop. Unless the command prompt crashes you should see the actions and more importantly the last action of Idle Master and if it does crash for some reason you can go have a look in Event Viewer to get a better idea.

Sorry, i saw the words of 'inventory' and 'no space' and automatically thought you are talking about TF2, which to my knowledge asks of you to buy inventory expanders even if you only want to store 1 copy of each item in the game. I shouldn't choose what item i want to loose because Valve wants me to buy backpack expanders instead of giving everybody as big of an inventory as the amount of unique items available in the game.

Not something you talk about in public.

SAM was decent but you had to switch games manually.


With idle master..I can sleep at night instead of waking up every 15 minutes.

I just felt like I owe everyone here a heads up in this thread D: I know I wanted to make a Astebreed OT and I still want and will make it with the risk of it disappearing into the nothingness for being late.

The reason for the delay is me having to prepare for my exams and a unfortunate couple of other issues at the moment but it's still coming, all I have left to do is some write-up and WebM's/GIFs! Sorry about that :(

You open the SAM window with the achievements for a game. Steam thinks you're in that game. Gaben gives cards. And since we talk about that regularly the main problem is you not hanging out in here often enough all the time.

It has been mentioned pretty often in here, but SAM shows you as in-game while you're editing achievements, so many people have been using that. Everything had to be done manually though (selecting games, checking for remaining card drops, exiting games)

Ugh I entered a new area in Transistor and got locked out of the previous area where there was still an area I wanted to check out. I hate when devs do this. There is literally no reason that door should lock behind me.

Deep Silver is taking way too long to address that. It should have been switched to Steamworks as soon as they picked the dev/property up.

Nordic games will more than likely not jump on a patch until it affects the game being played. They said it was in the works but they're going to take their sweet time on it.

Hahaha here's the thing when it was believed that GFWL was going belly up on 1st July a representative of Nordic Games, who bought the Red Faction IP as well as Darksiders and everything else no one wanted from THQ, said that they would look into removing GFWL, replacing it with either Steamworks or another solution. Now obviously that hasn't happened so no idea what Nordic's plans are or more to the point who these mythical people who would be doing the engineering work seeing as Noridc are a publisher with no development studios at all.

I think there was a bit of discussion over on their own forums about it. Needless to say the MP in RF:G is pretty much dead as the Dodo.

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.

Speaking of the Drunken Robot Pornography 60% Coupons:

They work on the 3-pack. And the three pack is already extremely cheap in Russia.
With the coupon the 3-pack should be 200 RUB, which translates to ~$5.60 (without trader margin)
