Gonna have to reinstall Steam I think to fix my network issues
Don't mind uninstalling the games with it, but just wanna make sure that my Dota profile is on the cloud. Is that the case?

You can reinstall Steam without it touching your games.

Most of mine are stored in their respective game folders in SteamLibrary.
2 months ago when I transferred my SteamLibrary folder to my laptop, the saves were there too. I did nothing with userdata.
If you're going to erase the entire folder and reinstall, move the SteamApps and userdata folders out of the way first and put them back afterwards.

Moving everything to HDD first in some desperate attempt to fix it since my download page shows that my SSD write speed is all over the place, and its become bloated anyway
edit: didn't work

You know who to ask...
Not that it means much since whether Arkham Knight runs acceptably can be pretty random. My 980m and 32GB RAM just crashed to desktop when trying to start a new game.
Maybe a Prinny joke too many?

When I first started playing Civ V that was always my goal, small peaceful focused empires, but the A.I. just wears you down the longer you play. You know what it will do, how it will behave, eventually you start to preemptively stop its bullshit and suddenly you've warmongered for a few thousand years and control two thirds of the world.

MB: Oh fine, just fine.

MB: So...
LB: You want to hear some news?
MB: Great! Here's a giveaway from someone banned yesterday.
With a modern engine that is more or less the case. But old, 2D sprite games coming from a handheld? Yeah, that's a bit of a pain in the arse. ;o
Hopefully it'll be fixed up within a week or two though.
Hopefully.
I could, but he always insults me when we're talking. Thanks for the link.
At least some people will rejoice in that case.
Don't forget about AWB0t!

The 1080p defense force always cracks me up, are they a bit handicapped in the head? Like let's say I own a 1440p display (I don't yet) and it's not a game I'm completely sold on. Totally reasonable I'd then pass just because of that, look at how many games are out there, this is a buyers/players market and if you want to compete you gotta step up your game. Never been easier to skip any entertainment product without the feeling of missing anything, too much other shit to watch/play/read/listen. And calling those games out is the only reasonable thing to do because it will create awareness in the studios doing the port which very often is the sole issue as already mentioned. Granted, sometimes there are reasons beyond anyone's control but if a studio communicates that well enough in advance the backlash is usually limited.
I scrolled through the pack's list and wondered how a publisher can survive with such an overall subpar assortment of games. I own a few but would play none.

Anyway... ARK: Survival Evolved is pretty fun. It's an unoptimised mess which, in the light of these past two-three years of super-polished incredibly-functional-really-a-beta alpha versions is... Infuriating and really refreshing.
Anyway, the character creator is pretty fun, and I made a T-Rex person thing.
His name is... The Human T-Rex, buuuuut his nickname is Jawmuncher.
Sorry about the 'eh' quality, couldn't be arsed grabbing the high-res versions, and imgur slightly beat them up aswell.

Is this gif nonsensical enough? I even put it in spoiler tags for absolutely no reason and now for a list...

Robert Z'Dar lives on.
Neither does a T-Rex!
But seriously I'm not quite sure how he actually manages to pick stuff up from the ground. I don't ever crouch.
He might be a magical wizard rex. Who knows.

I don't have a clue what's going on
Reinstalled. Didn't pull Dota in immediately, needed to redownload at least part of it. Was downloading at a solid 2.5MB/s (used to be stuck at like 250kbps), then just tanked back to the old speed.
Shut down and restarted PC, got a solid 3.0MB/s for a couple of minutes. Gonna try downloading some stuff to see if it stays consistent. The store is loading in an instant, and that goes to shit when the connection does.
edit: allocating disk space seems to take an age on HDD

That $1 tier is opposite of Thrills, not even chilly enough
overall a bundle isn't bad tho, only I assume most already have those games, I have all.
allocating disk space always was longish process for some reason.

Not the first or last indie dev who botches the marketing aspect, I fear Volume will suffer the same fate. As I mentioned above this game market is maybe the harshest it's ever been and if you fuck one thing up that's it. And if you don't you'll probably still fail without some luck and excellent timing, even newgen consoles with their limited libraries have reached the point where only being on there isn't enough anymore.

The future evolution of man
I still don't get what exactly we're missing. I guess just the fact the BB hasn't actually been evil yet in any of his games.
But I dunno if that counts as a conclusion.

Nope, I'm not watching that trailer.
Too many spoilers in trailers.
Too many spoilers in trailers.
Maybe that logic works for you, certainly not for me, I would rather have a game I want to play at any res (well almost any) than not at all also I don't think that all games are replaceable by others.
Letting know what you want and feeling entitled are two different matters.
IDK what is FF0 situation with resolutions and why it was limited to two, but I wouldn't assume some malignant intentions of devs right away.

Went dark on MGSV trailers and press months ago.
It's almost here and I'm not having things get ruined now.

Begging the fans to do their press coverage for them... haven't seen that in a while.
Yes, the gaming market is a very harsh place these days.
If I remember right, those job losses were part of a refocus away from console games towards PC and mobile. Which makes sense for Sega, given that they're one of the bigger PC publishers around.

Honestly I still think SEGA will make console games, just not that frequently.
Speaking of which, has VC1 reached 500K sales yet?

Volume done, good game, little repetitive towards the end though; 100 levels is a lot =/
It's a good bite size stealth game, but don't go in expecting a heavy narrative focus like TWA.
The next game to play is Zombi
*sigh*
My first UPlay client game , I am unclean

IIRC wasn't it's lifetime PS3 sales like 1 million copies sold?
Alright
*clears throat*
Beatbuddy isn't a true platformer as you just float around making your way through the level, there's some enemies and some stage hazards but the real difficulty comes from collecting all the gems in the level otherwise the levels are very straightforward with some light puzzles now and then and only one medium puzzle (hard by comparison) in the later stages.
The plot is ok, not great but not bad, it does enough to set the characters and the world which as you can guess revolve around the theme of music.
And the music, ohhh the music. The BGM isn't just background, they deconstructed the tracks to their elements and atributed each to a hazard or enemy leaving you with a always present backbone and those elements come in when the enemy/hazard is on the screen, if you move with rhythm you'll add a beat and tempo to the music and in some situations (guaranteed at last 1 per level) you have the music going at full swing which makes that section of the level feel that much special.
And the musics themselves are great, there's only one that I can see not being to everyone's taste (the one by Austin Wintory) but still, giv it a go, the game is fairly short and you have nothing to lose, a must-have (and more importantly must-play) for any music lover.
No links because:
1 - the tracks don't play out in the same way as in the game
2 - I want each level to be a surprise, part of how the game plays out is the sense of discovery when you find a new element of the song (basically - no spoilers)

Not sure if I should get $1 tier for Neverending Nights I heard on this thread that it is bad and people should feel bad if they play it. Corey Frost said so and I believe others did as well..
So now I am to be scared.
were to what?
I have headache after reading this post, thanks I guess
edited: also you should check Underwater adventure I posted about earlier
you play Godus and Dragon the game, I don't see how you could be scared by anything
I gotta say, The Charnel House Trilogy looks more like a teaser for whatever they are releasing next year than a finished game, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Will do a more detailed write-up later. In the meantime, did anyone else play it (I know at least Turfster did, at least I read his Steam review and it was a huge factor in purchasing the game)? What do you guys make of the story?
What are saying? I do not understand O.O
