Is this officially documented as a higher profile perk? Never heard about this before. A little bit more useful than an increasing friend capacity and profile number.

Yes, it is:

How can I get a booster pack?
Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack, which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. Make sure you log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility.

Once eligible, your Steam Level increases your rate of receiving a booster pack drop:
Level 10: +20% increase in your drop rate
Level 20: +40% increase in your drop rate
Level 30: +60% increase in your drop rate
Level 40: +80% increase in your drop rate
Level 50: +100% increase in your drop rate (i.e. the rate has doubled)
Etc.

Something to remember when people ask the point of leveling I suppose. Thanks.

Yes it is, but nobody really knows how many more packs it actually translates to.

 

[Ascheroth]

Now it just gives +1 and library entry as they didn't give anything to those who paid for base game before it went F2P.

That's not entirely true, if you had an account before it went f2p you could transfer some stuff over and got some of the stuff that now costs money for free.

 

[Tonton]

Can you use only a certain amount of your wallet when buying something on Steam instead of all of it?

 

[texhnolyze]

Finished DSIII + DLC, so good.

 

[Lashley]

Anyone know any sites that sell wallet cards for discount?

Like $10 topup for $8 or whatever?

 

[Chance Hale]

Final chapter in The Letter and all but two of the main characters dead. Love getting people knocked off lol.

 

[sprinkles]

It wouldn't be japanese without the hot springs episode.

But the Onsen episode in Cold Steel wasn't even in the game, but came as a short side story on their homepage...

 

[ThingontheFloor]

I went in expecting Tacoma to be short as I saw some 4-5 hour estimates in the reviews yesterday but when the credits started running 2 ½ hours later, I was a bit surprised as I was expecting a second half of the game. Using environmental storytelling to unravel what happened to an abandoned space station is up my alley, but felt it was still too brief, mostly I just wanted more. I plan on replaying to get collectibles/easter eggs but can’t help but feeling a bit empty by the experience even after enjoying the game and loving how it looked.

Maybe I worded littely badly, but I meant there's nothing extra tied to keys themselfes so if you register today, you get nothing. (or did not play yet)

Yep that's true.

Sounds like Gone Home again which had the same length issue for the price. By the time it really starts to sit with you it's over. Looks like I'll wait a bit on the price.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I've seen walkthroughs on YouTube of Tacoma that are less than 90 mins
Christ sake...

Thats really stretching my love towards Gone Home for my purchase here.

 

[bobnowhere]

I'm in the level 50s and I get 1 booster every week on the dot Monday 4.30pm in the afternoon like clockwork.

Is Slime Rancher any good? I don't see an OT for it here.

1 hour until Cold Steel!

He changed the license and stopped offering a free version and had a meltdown over all the backlash, now he just released cards for the app saying "Propriety software is an injustice" which is a jab at those people.

 

[Lashley]

Yep just got those cards too

Gonna sell em

Mmh this sucks, even though I bought it on Steam.

? Free version still exists.

Oh I guess he changed it again. It was back in April he tried to release exclusively through Steam.

Only after the backlash (I think)

Steve was estimating 2-6 hours on Twitter so it seems like something that potentially has a lot more to dig through on the side if you want?

Ah, it is Richard Stallman!

I have got to say not providing the excutables is kind of crappy behavior from the dev, but I guess someone else could do it for everyone since it is free and open-source. Not that I need it, because I bought the app.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Busy month eventhough it's summer.

Doesn't seem like he stopped publishing the source code though, so it seems like a pretty silly backlash. Just compile it yourself, or wait for someone to do it?

 

[Carl-Sagan]

Can you use only a certain amount of your wallet when buying something on Steam instead of all of it?

Steam prioritizes your wallet first and then your second payment option. There isn't any way to split the payment.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Can't believe I'll be buying Cold Steel again T.T I'm doing it to show appreciation to Durante's amazing work and to get the remaining trails games on steam as I don't like the game much.

 

[Rhaknar]

how much is Cold Steel going to be anyway? in a huge rut and ive fallen off my blizard train hard, really need something to play.

He was sending DMCA notices to people that forked it after he illegally changed the license.

[Orakio Rob]

Durante, you're doing a great job with Cold Steel and I'll soon buy it to show some support. Just wait a bit, as I'm close to the end of Trails 1, then I'll play through Trails 2 and 3 and then I'll buy Cold Steel. I promise it won't be long.

Spoiler

I started my Trails 1 playthrough in 2015

 

[ramoisdead]

Cold Steel is now live for downloading.

I really need to play TitS FC for real this time. Congrats on the release!

It looks like it is back to normal now.

 

[kionedrik]

Does anyone know if The Banner Saga 2 is region locked? I looked at the SteamDB entry but I'm still not 100% sure.

Thanks for posting, I never knew this.
But what exactly does this mean :

Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community.

Does this mean, if your friends craft a badge, or the whole community ? Because in the last few years, I only got 1 booster pack :/

Shows that you have good friends : P

 

[Rhaknar]

was hoping for 30€, but at least it seems its quite long (HLTB has it at average 65 hours) so it will last me. hmm.

Trails of Cold Steel is $32.39 on Humble if you have a Monthly sub. Link

oooh, I even have 2.67€ in my wallet, drops it down to under 30€, neat.

Average time will probably be lower in this version since it has Turbo Mode which let's you speed up the battles. I'm guessing -5 hours or so.

 

[DeliciousDoc]

Finished DSIII + DLC, so good.

What do you mean finished? You still have achievements left which means you havent unlocked all the possible builds yet. Do you even have the soltaire set? 🤔

 

[Nyoro SF]

Cold Steel purchased. Looking forward to trying out Turbo Mode the most. Cold Steel is actually an already pretty snappy game, but it never hurts to make things even faster.
