Its a ramdisk app that handles transfering files to and from the ramdisk and symlinking the non-transfered files.
Yeah, I know that feeling with TLD. I was at 2% HP at one point, and I was for a long time - I was stranded in the middle of a blizzard, at night, sitting in a tiny Icefishing-shack, and it didn't even have a door! If I hadn't had a good amount of firewood and the shack hadn't had a wood-stove, I would've frozen to death. And without a fishing hook n' line, I would've starved whilst waiting out the blizzard.
Worse yet was hearing the wolves outside howling, trying to track me via the blood trail I'd left behind, luckily the one that tried froze to death :3
... I ended up eating it. 'Twas a bit stringy.
It was a joke ;<
Though I can safely say that there's something wrong with most, if not all, of SteamGAF. Atleast those of us hoarding!
Which may or may not be why I love ya'll. And I hope you enjoy it! I'm definitely jealous now though.
That is encouraging! Thanks Maniac
If you do, I hope you enjoy it

Well it certainly looks like my sort of game so thank you, I expect I shall
.Why does this have achievements?
Everything should have achievements! Was super disappointed when YNAB didn't have them.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll hold off for the moment, and pick it up when it's out of Early Access.
Well considering the Ps3 and Xbox version are getting just a balance mod, no new hairstyles, no new stages and gotta purchase the fighters I figure they gonna give us the PS4/XBOne version. Doing the opposite would be shitty and unfinished since the PS3/360 versions will be missing features.

The Long Dark has a campaign-story on the way. The Sandbox mode is mostly for testing and creating features fore the campaign. And the only thing that's 'generated' is loot locations, loot-stash locations and wolf spawns and patterns
On Steam the dev mentioned that if you don't want to wait for the January 1st release, you could 'buy it on his site right now', so I'd assume every user / customer from his own site will get a Steam key aswell.
Honestly, if I had 32 gigs of RAM instead of 'just' 16, I'd totally jump on it. But not just yet I guess!
Games with no achievements unlocked won't count in the completion rate

This is only tangentially Steam related but I needed a place to vent.
I played through 2/3 of MGS Peace Walker (HD) and watched the rest on Youtube in preparation for Ground Zeroes / Phantom Pain. Good lord the game is so bad. Absolutely terrible.
The actual sneaking missions, while short and super easy, were alright, even though they were never more than "go from A to B". Fulton Recovery and managing your base is somewhat enjoyable as well. But the rest...
- The plot is a joke. MGS3 is my favourite and it kind of builds on that but there's just nothing happening. And the twists that do happen are bad even for MGS standards.
- The characters are even worse and have no reason to exist. They are introduced and then never appear again unless you listen to some tapes hidden in menus. Why is Chico even there? He knows things about animals I guess?
Then there are Amanda and that one french girl. And "Hot Coldman". Are you kidding me.
- The boss battles ruin the flow of the game and take way too long. They clearly require multiplayer to be enjoyable. If you're playing solo you run around and shoot at each one for 10 minutes until your ammo runs out, then request more ammo from mother base, rinse and repeat until it finally dies. Yes, weapons do not come with enough ammo to beat bosses, not even close. It's not difficult, just tedious. It makes no sense that they didn't scale boss HP with the number of players.
- To get the true ending you are pretty much required to
- Y can't snake crawl?
My hype for MGS V deflated so hard after playing it. It needs to take absolutely zero inspiration from PW to get me back on board. Sure, it's originally a PSP title but that does not excuse most of its faults. The overall reception of the game seems positive which is baffling. Can't remember the last time a game disappointed me that much. Watching the MGS4 ending on loop for 5 hours would probably have been more enjoyable.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: Thank god Hayter is gone. Unbearable.

Also Snake forgets the end of MGS3 and The Boss becomes a singing robot. Ok.
Paz does absolutely nothing the whole game until she's revealed to be a triple agent in some shocking twist.

grind missions and bosses over and over again to level up your base and Metal Gear. Fuck that.

Hmmm... *looks it up*
OH SHIT (;O__O)
That is very comforting to hear, especially since...And the only thing that's 'generated' is loot locations, loot-stash locations and wolf spawns and patterns
I gotta get on this.
I use https://www.xmarks.com/
It syncs across all the major browsers. And you can check all your bookmarks on their website after logging in as well!
Hadn't heard about Ken joining, that's cool.
As for the voice cast... Aaaaayuuuuup! Both Sheps, a Snake that's reasonably Solid and a cyborgy dude whom NEVER ASKED FOR THIS
Oh and I forgot to say; rabbits and deer spawns are randomly-ish generated too, hope it's not a deal breaker.

Skullgirls, alright. Now to learn how to play fighting games.
I've nearly survived a month in-game. However this was day 28;
But hey, I survived through all that! Atleast for now. I'm just hoping I'll reach day 30 and get the cheevo.
What game is this?

The Long Dark, AKA the best survival game out right now.

That's how Valiant Hearts was for me, I should probably play COL if it's anywhere as good as Valiant Hearts. Them UbiArt games have been pretty great.

. It's nice to be back .I shall happily do so
. He will no doubt purr his appreciation to Uncle cicero most enthusiastically .Oh and The Long Dark GET!
I'm far too tired to start a new game today but really look forward to digging into this. SteamGAF's impressions have really sold me on this game so thank you for that <3. Unless of course I hate it and then my wrath will be terrible!
I'll set William on you! His purring will deafen you all! Bwahahahaha!!!!!

I liked Child of Light more than VH, but both were well worth their asking price and great efforts from everyone's least favorite company.

Playstation requires it to be on their PSN. Also: cash money.
The developer's intention was to not include them, since it incentivizes playing the game for that end rather than the open struggle they want.
I wish I liked that game more. It's got some interesting things going on and the art is kool with a k. Survival games just aren't up my alley, I guess.
wheres Turf at? I need my partner in crime on dealing with janky ass Focus Entertainment games
Just played a little bit of Bound by Flame, seems... ok. Well, ok-ish? Theres some potencial here. Daggers feel good, sword feels awful, theres 0 impact to the sword. Already looks like the best Spiders game ive tired, which granted, isnt saying much, especially if you are the type that is turned off by these janky ass eastern european games.

Because Sony said that game needs achievements to be on PSN. Klei doesn't want them and they made stupid achievements just to pass Sony certification.
But Klei stated since beginning that they don't want them. And i respect that. Game really doesn't need them.

Klei doesn't care about PC gamers, I'll never purchase another Klei game unless it's 1 on a indie bundle and I can give all money to charity.

That was released before Klei became assholes.

Its excellent, one of the best stealth games in years.
But its on X360 XBLA.
Published my MS, thats probably why it had a PC release later.

I love how people are posting MOTN on the favorite indie game topic. I really dislike the game anyway, it's like a bad stealth game wrapped in a early 2000s children cartoon
