Nah, Geralt and Yennefer were married. Witchers are sterile due to the mutations and Yennefer because she is a sorceress. Ciri is his (and Yennefer's) unintentionally adopted child. Geralt died defending a elf from a lynch mob, and then Yennefer (a sorceress) tried to bring him back which cost her life. So technically both of them should be dead. Geralt is currently suffering from amnesia so he doesn't remember his past life, and his love of Yennefer, or why he is alive.

Damn, that sounds crazy. I love the Witcher lore. Never read the books but I want to. Anyone read the comic? It's pretty good. They said they were influenced by BPRD and Hellboy and it definitely has a Mignola vibe.

WHAT

did they change the count again

robbing me of my 1k
 
I just got 2 copies of Sniper Elite 3, 2 Banner Saga and 1 Murdered: Soul Suspect for $20 total.

5 people are going to be happy between tonight and tomorrow.

Man, I'd like to figure out where Soul Suspect is so cheap. I've been pretty interested in it since before it even came out, but never got it as the word of mouth was pretty... not great. I was waiting for a sale, but haven't seen it have a decent one.

Also, all of that for $20 is crazy. Shadownet the deal machine.

Did they get married?

One of the later non cannon stories. It may or may not be used in the game. If not they were just lovers.

I actually haven't, but I've heard they were based on previous stories from the books.

Just finished Burial At Sea - Episode Two. I really like how
everything got tied together
, but
that ending...was kind of a bummer.
I liked it a lot more than Episode One, and the visuals are undeniably great. Especially during
the final walk to Atlas and his cronies
, that looked so good.

Also, if someone were to not read the spoilered parts, I sound crazy...well, crazier.

They really need to add an "Appear Offline" mode to the friends list. Not just "Offline". That way you can still see your friends / invite particular ones, while being "off".

First time ever adding money from paypal and I find out that such a drastic action requires a 7 day lockdown of my team market purchasing habits. Why can't they tell me this before they take my money and leave it in steam limbo?

Steam, of course, will still allow me to add more funds to my account before verifying that this is indeed a legitimate payment option.

These AMD promos are going void today, so if anyone have them, he should make use of them, and by use I mean just pick the games he wants

and on another matter, ever since they cancelled those f2p +1 count, my badge experience is fu**ed, anyone else having this problem and have any idea if its true?

So I had a game of XCOM EU that I was about 12 hours into, but I never finished and haven't played in a couple months. Should I just restart with a EW playthrough, since I don't really remember where I left off? I feel like I'd be lost if I jumped into that old save.

This is a perfect time to abandon your EU campaign and start a EW playthrough with The Long War mod. It provides more tradeoffs with starting equipment. Fixes the EW problem of MEC's coming too early. Doubles the number of troop classes; widens the choices for troop perk upgrades and balances them better. Fixes the EU/EW problem of triple-choice abduction missions (now terror missions are the big panic causers). Makes air coverage to spot UFO's actually important now. And more.

I think it's a Rockstar Social Club code, but you should be able to get it on Steam somehow. Enjoy!
 
Okay someone help me out. I'm not seeing any of these AMD vouchers going for cheap on ebay. Or it's more likely that I'm not searching for the right terms. I wouldn't mind getting Sniper Elite 3 for cheapish if possible.

Uncheck this box and you'll be fine.
Good point!

What I mean is a mode where you can be visibly offline to your friends, but still be able to invite them into multiplayer games that use the Steam friends invite system. Basically so you can easily pick and choose who you want to play with, and not be swamped with invites from 10000 people.

So.. wait, that's 2 AMD codes for roughly $10? Whoa. Any chance of a hint where you managed that? I'd love to snag Sniper Elite 3 for around $10.

The guy I bought off of is completely out. The code expired today so he redeem it all. I ended up buying both copies of his Sniper Elite 3. Which I'm going to give away anyway.

Uncheck this box and you'll be fine.
But I don't think you can still see your friends list once you're offline.

He meant like a "Lurker" mode. So you're offline to everyone but you can still send messages and see who's on.

Anybody here using family sharing? I tried it but it doesn't work for me, it only says "We've discovered the owner has already authorized this device for game sharing. You're all set" but evertime I try to start the game in question it asks me to request access again, just to see the message above. So I can't play the game even though Steam tells me I can

I'm using it and it does need some tuning before it works. I had the same exact problem but can't remember how I fixed it. Probably by updating to beta client but that was back then so I have no idea if that will have an effect now. From time to time I still have issues with family sharing I'd hope Valve would fix in near future.

Yeah, I've been using family sharing with two of my friends. One friend we've both shared our accounts with each other, the other I shared my account with him simply because he wanted to try some 2d games I have to see if they'd play on his laptop before he bought them. Has worked out fine, with no issues.

I've got a really bad memory. So ehh.. My rule is flawed. But it's a good flaw. :p

what did you win from me anyway? :)

I won Consortium from one of your giveaways, and you randomly gifted me Rogue Legacy on Steam because you're awesome.

Closest would be to set the "away" or "busy" status on your profile.

idleMaster is great to collect cards, but it is a pain to sell each card one by one.

Is there a tool to automatically sell cards at the market price indicated by Steam?

its just something small :3
Honestly I wish I could enjoy rogue-like games more. But dying over and over isn't fun for me. :( kinda disheartening actually. I still haven't gotten pass the 1st 3 floors of Rogue Legacy lol

Cake for everyone.
What flavor is it?
Lies?

Also that Waifu game someone posted a little while back. I'm guessing since the non-steam version is uncensored that mean Steam doesn't allow games with nudity and all that right?
 
I'm really proud of you all guys, only 2 threads this months.

Cake for everyone.

The threads been dead some this month, the last few months I would wake and have 48 unread pages, 3 price errors I missed and a couple dozen Divinity giveaways. Now I wake up and there are 2 pages of people talking about whatever the hot new anime/waifu game is. Must be people going back to school.

Steam allows nudity and illusions to and depictions of sex, even player initiated, e.g. Max Payne 3, The Witcher 1 & 2, Mass Effect 1 & 2, GTA series, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Alpha Protocol, etc.

I think they might have issues with porn games though.
