Puzzle fans, how are Yankai's Triangle and Disoriented?
I'm coming to the end of LYNE and Snakebird and will need a new puzzle to take their place in my occasionally visit puzzle go-to.

Great news about Doom ditching Denuvo, even though I don't care about that particular game. But Deus Ex: MK is hopefully next up with doing this?
Nice,i have maybe 4000 hours on the browser on my old 3dsxl.
So how come games are removing denuvo? I mean sure they realize that it didn't really have an effect on sales but I also thought that denuvo was quite harmless? Haven't heard people having problems with it?
Started playing Deux Ex Mankind Divided and I was little suprised how much I wasn't feeling it at all at the begining but now couple of sidemissions in I'm loving it! Was also little weird going into it directly after Watch dogs 2, since it feels like playing the same game haha, using "hackervision" to look around and plan stuff, hack computers to shut down alarms, then stun guards and try and play every mission unseen.

The problem is when Adam Jensen was approached to discuss the option of removing denuvo he said 'I never asked for this' applied cloaking and vanished.

Denuvo is being removed because it apparently costs the dev quite a lot of money, at least for AAA games.
There's also a rumour that the devs can request a refund for Denuvo if it's cracked within a certain period of time, but they have to remove it from their games if they do.
For Inside, it was completely pointless to keep it since it was cracked quickly, and would have become redudant as soon as they released the game on GOG anyway.
At least he didn't pull out those built in spike thingys in his arms.

SEGA adopting Valve Time for their announcing of PC ports. Makes sense since they are putting them on Steam.

Seems ghostlight ross has 4 projects planned for pc
Apparently one of them could be a psp ghostlight release but looming at their released titles on the psps they dbe releasing either
A) fate extra 1 which is now obselete due to its sequel
B) persona 1/2 psp, which wouldnt be a bad idea imo
C) some shovelware

Ah alright, it is of course awesome that more and more games go DRM free. Eventhough it usually doesn't impact me much there are cases, for example can't play The Saboteur on Origin because securerom gives me trouble. Would be awesome if GOG Connect started to include Origin games also.

music bundle by the guys who did the soundtrack for Brigador, mid-tier features the game also for $10, which is about the lowest it's gone on steam..
if you have coins from older bundles you can use them.. some of them have gone up in value (like I have two 16 dollar coins, and one that's 14, and another that is about 7) but you don't get change back so why would you use them for cheapo bundles, and how often does groupees have expensive bundles?
I say this while thinking about using a 7 dollar coin and 1 dollar coin to pay 2 bucks for it but then I worry it will be in the humbly monthly lol

Just bought it with my $16 coin and threw in my -$1.12 Trump coin for good measure! Also using my Trump coin further devalues everyone elses Trump coins, a bit like real life.
nice lol I dunno what to do with that Trump coin
ohh is that how it works? and the fluctuating values of other coins go up as people spend them?

Depressurizer.
It happens all the time.
I think it is because there are games not available in my region. I remember the queue getting stuck if I did not mark as "following" some of the games which are not available in my region.
Then Steam was updated and I could remove the "following" tag from these games, without getting the queue being stuck.
Then I noticed this happened.
My process is the following:
*click click click*
Oh let us try again.
The bug happens.
Use the top menu.
Repeat.

Yep as someone spends their coin, everyone elses goes up slightly, or in the case of the Trump one, down. Not all the coins vary in value only some like the Johnny Anti-matter one.
so my Steam is broken... after the usual "steam need to restart for an update" shit I swre I get every day, now it wont start, it gets stuck on "Connecting Steam Account: X"
Ive rebooted and nothing. What do?

Maybe reinstalling Steam helps?
And wasnt there a file you could delete to "kill Steams cache", something .blob or so
will that not delete all my downloads? >_>

That's just weird. If it's released on GOG DRM free, but sold with the outdated Securom on Origin, then EA are really being lazy, or don't have an organisation that cares enough about their own service.

honestly, I dont know
but you could just move the Steamapps folder out of the Steam install folder before uninstalling and move it back in after the new install... and before the first start... Steam should find the games then
go into task manager and end any task relating to steam
then launch steam and see if it works
Sounds like you're on the beta program.

Hmm. Isn't that more or less what you want?
Otherwise, if it is about tags, there is always this in your browser: http://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/

No, what I want is, after I've personally categorized them, to start with a full alphabetical list of my Steam games, then bring down a drop-down menu of categories to narrow it down by.
EDIT: That appears to be closer to what I want, filtering. What I'd like is for something like that to be in Steam and customizable.

A tool for people who have defined their own customized tags/categories would be too nich for Valve to develop it. I don't expect to see that. It is much lazier and much more time-efficient to rely on crowd-based work with the tags seen on the Steam store and the website which I linked to.
Depressurize auto-cat by genre pisses me off, because like really.. it shoves games into multiple categories, creates an "indie" category (what the fuck does this even mean?) and puts things into categories that aren't even applicable IMO..
for instance in Wok's picture, how is Influent a simulation? or The Magic Circle.. which is like a first person adventure game with meta commentary about game design. FTL and Rogue Galaxy are weird things to put into the simulation category as well IMO...

Happened to me too. There's an issue with the latest beta update it seems. I got back into Steam by deleting the "beta" file inside the package folder of my Steam installation. That opts you out of the beta, after that I could login again. No need to delete anything else.
well too late now I reinstalled. The steamapps folder was actually left over on its own too, so I managed to just copy it back to the fresh install and it seems to work (at least ESO is running)
Only 32-bit support for now, so not that interessting. I guess when in the future everything is ARM, that means you could have instant backwards compatability with all x86 games.
Best I've been able to manage is a sort of sub-division:
It's not fantastic, but it's surprisingly robust. Catagorised most things on the basis of store tags, but that breaks down occasionally... For example, Metamorphabet is in "Adventure - Investigation and VN", because I don't have an Education catagory, and I'm not creating one just for that one game.

Typically, Influent appears in several categories, it is not just in the "indie" category. The combo "tag + search bar" is what is being used everywhere these days.
The tag system is superior to a tree structure for the purpose of filtering a library. I think the only reason we did not have this before is that you need some crowd-based tagging system, otherwise it is too much work.
Anyway, I think Steam should just drop the categorization altogether and provide a more potent tag-based library search similar to http://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/
Most people won't take the time to categorize their library, and even if they do, they won't come up with fancy categories, it will be "Tower Defense", "Horror", etc.
All Valve needs to do is pay Lorenzo Stanco for his current work and put it under a Steam community tab. No time wasted for Valve, literally no difference in terms of annual revenue.

there should be a Steam Workshop for categories and the possible games that occupy them

Wouldn't that be really slow though ?
Although if true... HOT DAMN NVIDIA BACK INTO BUSINESS FOR A W10 HANDHELD.
As for now, I'm enjoying my GPD Win A LOOOOT.
So should I stay away from Seagate external hard drives? I keep hearing they have a bad failure rate. They so affordable though...
How short is it? I hate games with good ideas that end too early.

It took me about 25 hours on my first playthrough but I read pretty much all of the text in the game. I would say an average playthrough without rushing would be about 20 hours, give or take. The ending is a bit abrupt too.
There are a number of branching paths in the game and I find it interesting enough to replay it and see the rest of the content, but a lot of it will still be a retread of the same areas etc.

At least It didn't do well and is already removed by devs, after being cracked by revive.
Arizona Sunshine's history is absolutely disgusting.
Was meant to be a Vive launch title but then mysteriously went completely silent till returning as an Oculus Touch launch title (paid delay). Around the same time, there is a promo video to discuss the game, but instead it veers into what can only be described as a promo for Intel i7 processors. And now here we are with the game launching, but all issues of content with i7 requirement were hidden away and not on the store page.
Thankfully people got around it pretty quick, but this is definitely a game I wouldn't support out of principle

Good to know, thanks. Can't believe that someone acutally thought that would be a good idea.
Oculus, ugh. The Rift appears to be a solid VR headset but I don't want to support their business practices (+ Facebook + Palmer Luckey).
