Can I safely nuke my \AppData\Local\Temp folder? It's taking up 22GB on my SSD.

I still have my embossed copy of Valiant's Turok The Dinosaur Hunter #1.
God bless the 90s.

I think most Microsoft games will be on Steam, easily. Fable Legends isn't because it's a F2P game, so eh.
Jesus fuck, god no. If anything they need to open the gates more! It isn't even close to Appstore levels, and if something is shovelware it won't sell or affect actually good game sales so I don't see the issue. The market regulates itself. And no, the "indiepocalypse" ain't coming.

They weren't good when they were new. They were mostly a neat thing to do with the new 3D cards of the time.
Well yeah, it's a Roguelike, so it is designed to be played over and over again. It's easy to screw yourself over early on (or just have bad luck with drops) and need to restart. But usually if I make a mistake late in the game I want to try to salvage the run rather than start over from scratch, since I'd already come that far.
It would make more sense to have a confirmation (at least if you make it past zone 1), since I can't imagine having to press 2 buttons to restart would be such a burden. But oh well, I moved the restart key to a button I'm unlikely to hit by accident, so it's a non-issue from now on.

I need Killer Instinct on Steam.
I would say it is safe to empty it
Awesome! I'll repurchase them. Where's Jaw at?

I'm actually more interested in that than the main Gunvolt game. Looks pretty nifty! Too bad it's more of a short tag-along though.

Now imagine it would be a chinese studio releasing that on Steam. I wrote it earlier in this thread, but I think there would be a lot of people shouting "copycats, those chinese."
Chances are that Pinwheel was in a different location entirely earlier in the development.
The tiny Capra Demon boss room would be kind of perfect for the Pinwheel fight. Maybe the Giant Rat miniboss replaced Pinwheel in the depths. Who knows.

They better really release it on Steam.
They announced Exhumed as well and then just released it for free instead of selling it on Steam

Day 1 for me...
Talking about re-releases, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse needs to be re-released on Steam, I really want to play it

Nice to see Turok is happening. There were murmurs about it for awhile. Also they should be nice and updated. It was part of the reason from what I had heard as to why the re release was happening.

OK, this is a weird bug. Try to open up Dragon Age, and this happens.
The launcher in the top left is what works.
I decide to investigate, since this didn't happen before, when I looked at Origin, I noticed that Origin was under the impression that Dragon Age + Awakening pack was installed (which it was, but I installed it on Steam, I didn't touch Origin).
Now, when I try to uninstall the Origin version of Origins, it just brings up the control panel. I decided "fuck it", and uninstalled Origin while verifying Origins. I'll see if that fixes it, with a clean install of Origin in the event I need it.

The Movies needs a Steam release.

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.

I had the same issue and finally ended up just playing the Origin installation. Every time I thought I had fixed it if I ever launched Origin it would find my Steam install and try to "fix" it.

Well uninstalling Origin didn't fix it, neither did verifying cache (need to try just restarting). But it's weird that I didn't run into this issue when I launched the game yesterday, it seemed to only start by launching Origin.
EDIT: Restarting didn't help, I guess the solution would be to try and skip the launcher altogether instead. Just need to hope the addition of mods doesn't break it.

Fucking truth. Give it the Enhanced Edition treatment, call it The Movies: Director's Cut or something. Make it so you can upload your movies straight to YouTube.
Make a new expansion with new scenes, sets, costumes, and props and the addition of child actors.

Disgruntled former employee, very messed up.
I like this. I like this a lot. Not sure I'll back if I have to wait long to get Divinity: Enhanced over it, though. I'd rather play it first.
That's how people stuck on Mac feel about all the Steam games restricted to Windows.
