Well, if the sale thread doesn't move too quickly, I have a fun* little surprise for you guys.

*Fun probably means sadistic

 

[Dusk Golem]

I look forward to viewing these next couple weeks from behind a restricted mobile screen and to give all my horror recommendations and chatter with you all... and more~

If i was a mod I'd ban everyone that posts the whynotboth gif/img when someone asks if they should get A or B.

Also ill ban people that post imgs/gifs of games without even saying what game it is.


I'd be a good mod.

but you scare mods away so wouldn't you just scare yourself into oblivion?

RIP

Where have you been?

 

[Stumpokapow]

A community sticky spotlight seems like a good idea. Just like what AustraliaGAF has.

This is something we are about 90% sure on moving forward with in the new year.

yeah 5 topics about Drive Club or Bloodborne is so much better

Setting aside the obvious bad attitude in the complaint, I can walk you through our thinking. There are currently 0 topics about either on the front page. When a game (or movie or hardware or...) launches, we expect it to have a few threads it's being talked about in. This is typically something like a review thread, a spoiler thread, and an OT, but there are sometimes reasons for others. We also expect new threads every time there's major news or a big announcement for the game. That's OK. It would be weird if GTA5 wasn't a central focus of conversation at launch week. But we also want to make it possible to discuss other things, which is best achieved when threads that are very high volume (either due to many participants or chat room type posting) are not taking up limited slots. So after a month of being in Gaming or OT we typically move ongoing official threads into community. We also actively moderate to restrict the number of threads that pop up during this launch period, which is why we've locked maybe 18 or 20 Star Wars threads in the last week. It's about striking a balance, and I think we do a good job. The typical standard now is that high volume OT type threads get about a month in Gaming/OT before they get moved to community, and I think that works for us given the constraints of GAF's navigation system.

No because I'm the chosen one.

 

[ramoisdead]

I wonder what kind of holiday activity is planned for this year to coincide with the big sale. I hope no more clicking stuff.

 

[neoemonk]

So much anticipation for that first wave of sales that usually just ends in me going "meh".

I love this time of year.

I should probably play my games some time.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

8 mins to go!

[Hektor]

Are you ready Steamgaf?

Good news, this time the first wave is also the last wave.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

from the last couple of xmas sales i'm preparing myself for disappointment

 

[neoemonk]

The flash/dailies had me routinely checking Steam every eight hours. It was actually something I enjoyed. I find it strange that it will be missing this year.

 

[Leafhopper]

How about we all play our damn video games for once instead?

 

[JaseC]

Is that same for the dlc keys ?

Valve's changes apply only to store-bought items; keys are unaffected.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Thanks to jshackles for his great stewardship of the community thread over the last little while!

 

[Jazz573]

5 minutes left. Well, this was a great year, and I'm glad I met you guys, even if I didn't really join SteamGAF until the summer. Either way, here's to another great year for SteamGAF! And with that, it's time for the seal!

 

[Arthea]

Are you ready Steamgaf?

I was born ready

Thanks to jshackles for his great stewardship of the community thread over the last little while!

seconded, jshackles made a good job

For the past few weeks when I sit in front of my PC I fire up PCSX 2 and play FF XII.

Nevermind that I have MGS V and Fallout 4 barely touched.

 

[DasFool]

How about we all play our damn video games for once instead?

Last sale was pretty lackluster, so if they continue that, I might take that offer.

 

[Parsnip]

See you guys on the gaming side.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I wish Steam users cared about the lack of dailies and flash sales as much as they do about a revolver in CS GO. We would have a written apology letter and the best dailies of our Steam lives by now!

 

[ramoisdead]

On the bright side, you don't have to worry about staying up late hours just to see if a game you're interested might or might not be on sale. I hated staying up to 5 am.

 

[Vazra]

Lock this up

 

[Jawmuncher]

Thanks again for the threads jshackles.

 

[electroflame]

Lock this up

Here we go, on to 2016 and beyond.

Thanks again for the threads jshackles.

Also this. You did a great job!

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

See you on the other side

 

[Hektor]

It was fun while it lasted. Can't wait to see ya'll in the Sale- and in the next Steamthread. And au revoir to those who won't make it unbanned 'til then. We'll miss you!

 

[Se7enSword]

Are you ready Steamgaf?

Ithink so. If i'm not, I just have to improvise!

 

[Jazz573]

See you guys on the dark side.

FTFY

Yes.

And morningbus.

beautiful

time

 

[neoemonk]

Plot twist from Valve: Steam Link/Controller go on sale.

I'd jump all over that.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm typing up long horror game recommendations most will skim over and wonder why I talk so much about horror games all the time right as we speak.

 

[Annubis]

Yup yup! Thx for the threads jshackle.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Anybody got a link to the new thread? Or is it not up yet?

 

[Shantom]

I'm ready for the inevitable Aviary Attorney price mistake

 

[Capt.Haddock]

Locked and loaded lets go!

 

[madjoki]

It just has extra games with it. (CS:GO + L4D)

 

[Se7enSword]

Thank you for the threads jshackles!

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Here's hoping for some price mistakes.

 

[jshackles]

Thanks to jshackles for his great stewardship of the community thread over the last little while!

Thank you Stump for your excellent oversight of this great community. It's really been a pleasure SteamGAF. I'll of course still be around, and I'll be in charge of the SteamGAF GOTY voting taking place next month so stay tuned.

 

[Jason Frost]

 

[Jazz573]

Thanks for your great work jshackles. On the threads, and on EnhancedSteam and IdleMaster.

 

[neoemonk]

I hope this isn't true as I have one and don't care about the other.

 

[Grief.exe]

Excellent work Jshacks, see you all in the new year, and in the sales thread!

 

[Dusk Golem]

Here's hoping for some price mistakes.

I bet there will be some.

And I'll be sad since I can't participate in sales until later.

 

[Deques]

It was nice knowing you all, bye bye wallet

 

[Leafhopper]

I'm ready for the inevitable Aviary Attorney price mistake

It's until January 4th, I am pretty sure they aren't changing it's price.
