Oh thanks
especially for the webm. I do like that art style; more aesthetically pleasing to me than uber realism. Looking forward to this .Good luck! [/Great Fox]
Thanks
it's good to be back.There's quite a bit of chat about it over the last few pages. I haven't played it yet so unless someone posts their impressions again it's worth having a quick look back a couple of pages or so

Yes.
One might say it is time for me to get Dishonored, but I dislike such bloated games.

One of my earliest 3dfx Voodoo experiences. But I can't imagine it held up.
I'd say play first Ys Chronicles+ (I, II), then Ys Oath in Felghana, and then Ys Origin.
Yep, Origin is a prequel, however, it was released later than the first three, and it improves on a few gameplay/graphic aspects. So, that way you won't feel that the first three are a bit archaic or lack on some stuff (specially I&II, Oath in Felghana is close to Origin, but still I consider Origin to be obviously better).

Yes, it's really cool, I think the game is much better than it gets credit for.
Anyone knows what happened to "Whore or the orient" or whatever their new game was called?
Has anyone had issues with Steam taking nearly all available bandwidth for downloads, even when using the "limit download speed to" setting, and when its displayed "current rate" is nowhere near the max download speed of the connection?
When my brother tries to download Steam games our connection which Speedtest usually shows as 7-8 Mbps instantly drops to 1.2-1.5 Mbps. As soon as Steam downloads are completely paused it jumps back up to 8 Mbps.
This is despite Steam saying it's only downloading at about 300kb/s (max speed I've seen for downloads on our connection is 1.1mb/s) - so it's using less than a third of what's available, yet hogging the connection almost entirely.
We've tried using the download speed limiter in Steam options, this made no difference. It seems to be as soon as Steam starts downloading, the connection becomes almost useless for doing anything else. As soon as Steam is paused, things are back to normal. If Steam was downloading at near 1mb/s I could understand, as that's the full download speed we can usually get with this connection - but it's getting nowhere near that.
Has anyone else experienced this?

The sequel is also on PC, on GOG, but not Steam. I always wanted to play it. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit on my Saturn.

I frequently use the limiter since I share the internet connection, and I can tell you that my experience is often the opposite of yours: if I turn the limiter on to say 512 KB/s, the download will frequently stop completely or go down to 50-100 KB/s, but I can still use all my other internet applications with no problems. But if I turn the limiter off, it happily gobbles all my bandwidth at max speed until the download is done.
numbers like that demand a recount
It was very close.

Sorry guys it's my fault I forgot to vote
The Long Dark is pretty cool it seems. First try I got spawned in the pitch black night and got attacked by a wolf almost immediately, I survived for 31 minutes. Second try was a similar story except I survived an hour longer. Did not find anything during those tries.
Third run went pretty great. Found decent clothes, tools and food and was exploring the world and loving it. Found a 'fishing town' and made the dumb mistake of sleeping in an open cabin, so I died during the night -_- did not know that could happen. I probably could have lived a lot longer if I didn't make such a dumb mistake, but the other choice was crossing ice to get to a cabin. It was pitch black and I've been told the ice can crack so I did not want to risk that. Ugh.

For what their benchmarks' views, seems like GameGPU went back to the big releases of 2014 and tested them again with the latest game updates and the gfx card drivers.

If I buy Talos Principal on Nuuvem can I activate it here? I still don't quite understand the region lock thing.

don't know what it is,but i've played shovel knight for 3 hours without realizing it
only problems i have with the game so far are the fact that to change secondary item you have to pass always from the menu,and that the "invincibility for a couple seconds" it's the "win button" and they give it to you pretty much at the beginning of the game

Force yourself to not use that item, just pretend it's not there. Makes the game a lot more interesting.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
J, you could change the downloadable file name or zip it or something, because I think this warning in Chrome 39...
...could scare away most people.
Chrome is doing that just because the domain is new, hasn't been crawled by Google, and they haven't run their AV over the site just yet. My alternative would have been to wait a few more days to release, when the software was already ready. I've submitted a ticket to Google so hopefully that'll get cleared up in the next few days.
That... might work. I'm working on an update that will let you type in or copy/paste your information into the program similar to the old version, if you prefer to do it that way.
Neither the old nor new Idle Master have any sort of transport mechanism where your cookie data is transmitted anywhere outside of the program in any way. That said, if you were to email me your settings.txt file or IdleMaster.exe.config file without sanitizing it first, I could theoretically sign in to Steam as you and trade all of your items away. It's also worth pointing out that people have done that in the past (out of ignorance) and I'm not the kind of guy that would do anything like that.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't need to worry about this happening with either version.

I imagine some others here are similar to me:
-If you don't have a public profile, I can't make shit of you and you will probably get blocked.
-If you aren't even in the NeoGAF steam group, you'll probably get ignored.
-If you have some mutual friends, I'll let it sit and investigate when/if I ever feel arsed to do so.
-If you are in the NeoGAF steam group, have 5 or more mutual friends I recognize/talk to and over 500 games and level 10 profile, I'll probably accept.
Basically, I do get spam and I do get mooches and I do get people who just want to be in with the GAF group guys and I don't have use for Steam friends that I hold no ties with/potential to actually play games with.
You bought a 2-pack, activated it and got a giftable copy. That's what happened
It's been like this forever, I wonder if they ever care

It's the popup which is supposed to show you that you have an extra copy of the game in your inventory. Seems to be bugged and Valve don't give no fucks.
