I may reconsider my stance on Invisible, Inc. itself if they add the aforementioned stuff, but I'm still salty over the sellout to Sony and refusal to cater to the requests of their fans that supported them on PC in the first place. Fuck Klei.

What's this 'sellout to Sony' thing? I don't follow the news...

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Hmm I feel like the dumbest person on earth right now, looks like I cant create a PayPal account using a debit card, I also tried to added it to my google wallet and it says my card info is wrong.

This happened to me during the M&M days. I eventually figured it out by going through their store portal.

Assuming I'm looking at the correct profile it seems you own Tales of Maj'Eyal but haven't played it yet? Perhaps give that a try if you are interested in a more "classic" yet approachable rogue-like. It would also be a natural progression from Dungeons of Dredmor. It might not have Dredmor's humour (few games do...), but Tales is a far deeper game and ultimately has greater longevity and is much more satisfying to play.

Good catch. I must have randomly gotten it in a bundle and never payed any attention to it. I will play it now for sure.

Not cool, not cool at all. Game (Detective Grimoire) was okay and I don't regret the purchase but nothing special, RPS was mostly right though I didn't have issues with the interface after disabling the buttons on the edges. There's just not a lot more to say about it.

Something about them not adding achievements to Don't Starve Steam while the PSN version has them.
 
Thanks InvisibleStride for hopping in and for tips on CSGO! Hopefully, I can improve some. XD


Haha, that's interesting to know.

Just got a Bad Rats booster pack. Gonna open it and hopefully get some cards to complete my badge. :D

Oh man, can't believe i missed out on the Revelations 2 news. Surprised it's cross gen.

I haven't even played the first one yet! :(

Oh cool, new Steam thread! :)

Perhaps it should be mentioned in the OP that Shelter 2 is no longer planned for August, but is coming out sometime in the "Fall" instead.

Stop making me post in here.

Klei makes Don't Starve. Refuses to add achievements despite PC fan base requesting them repeatedly. Cite "achievements change the way people play the game, and we didn't want that to happen in Don't Starve..." or something to that effect.

Somehow Klei becomes involved with Sony -- ends up agreeing to bring the game to PS4. Sony says "Hey, we require ALL games to have trophies these days. Make some if you want this money and the release on PS4." Klei sacrifices original vision and complies. Fans beg for a PC patch porting the already made "achievements" to PC. Klei continues to ignore.

Klei makes Reign of Giants DLC. No achievements. No patch for PC version in regards to achievements. Fans still make requests.

Klei wants to bring DLC to PS platforms. Adds trophies to Reign of Giants DLC for PS4. Packages everything together in a "GOTY" style edition being ported to Vita -- again, trophies in tact.

So Klei is okay with corporations mandating that they do something so long as they're getting money to do it, but doesn't give a shit about fans who would like an achievement patch on PC since they most likely already have enough sales here.

TL;DR: Klei ignores fan requests for (optional) achievements but adds them to comply with Sony's mandates because $$$.


There are 10 achievements.
Even with all the grinding they put in to get one of them, the trophy guide figures you can 100% complete it with 2 playthroughs at around 15 total hours.

I'd want good achievements in Don't Starve as much as anyone, but the achievements they added to those versions because they were mandated by Sony are worthless and wouldn't add anything of value to the game. And if you really think they should refuse to even put the game on the Sony systems because they didn't want achievements, that's just insane.

Just booted up Last Light to see how it performs on my rig before I jump into 2033 next week. It ran really well, but my PC has made this noise since March, and it's louder when I play LL. It only happens when I'm in a game (only when something is being rendered, not in menus), and only in specific games. But its a very consistant noise, sometimes just a whirring, more of a buzzing when it's loudest (like when I play LL), and sometimes there's nothing at all. I think it might be a fan, or just what my card sounds lik under load, but it makes me worried that it's something else. So that's going to have me paranoid all through my LL playthrough. I know it's probably nothing, but damn is it unnerving.
 
Someone gifted me Terraria but I have never played it :(

its really fun. I play it on my vita from time to time. I got myself a whole underground house with a glass room with two fountains and a gold chest where I keep all my money and cool equipments. I don't like fighting bosses in it much tho, they're pretty boring, just his sponges. anyway, goodnight guys.
 
So, im giving away these since I will not play them... first come first served, the one who gets the crusader knights game will get the 3 DLC's keys via PM.

That is literally the opposite of how I play terraria. I have the most dinky, unaesthetic house you could imagine but I don't care as all I do is seek out boss summon items and explore underground caverns for material to make new weapons.

haha thats funny. actually terraria is the only game where I enjoy building stuff. I hate doing it in minecraft, and starbound(which is very similar to terraria for those who don't know.) I'll post a pic of my base tomorrow if I remember.
