[Toshin]

whens yaiba? D:

I too am with this in watching .
*hands sal some saki*

 

[Vuze]

May bite on TWD S2. Could someone refresh my memory if S1 had cloud saving? Also never played 400 days DLC. Should I buy that also?

It doesn't

As for 400 Days... it's alright.

 

[Monooboe]

I guess it was just a matter of time before I had that game. My 1000th game nonetheless... Thanks Milamber!

 

[Vuze]

I have a few hours to kill at work. What are some games that I can play that don't require my undivided attention. Looking for games that aren't timed and that I can play with just a mouse or minimal keyboard interaction and that I can run windowed. I was thinking a puzzle game perhaps, though it doesn't have to be. I was tempted to play some Hearthstone, but that makes my laptop's fan get pretty loud, which is quite obvious in a quiet office.

Just having finished a set... how about LYNE? I see you already own it and have played it for an hour, so I'm not sure if you like it or not :x

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

You got to be bullshittin me with this Orion Prelude winning over IL2.

I just don't care this year.

That's right. It was me.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I forgot to tell you guys, I got the neatest emoticon from crafting the starbound badge the other day, A PENGUIN!!

the only way i can think of making it any better was if it was a prinny. pls NIS.

yes

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that fucking blows, then that means its a problem on my end and I have no idea what it is ._.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

My giveaway is still going, if anyone cares.

Extension -> Options: uncheck this box:

This feature was put in place for people that accidentally click into the Steam store in a region that isn't their own and don't have a way (through the UI) to get back to their default (billing) region.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

how about Dungeons of Dredmor? or Civ V?

Hmm, I do own Dungeons of Dredmor, though it looks a little more involved than I'm looking for at the moment. I may have to check it out later. Thanks!

Just having finished a set... how about LYNE? I see you already own it and have played it for an hour, so I'm not sure if you like it or not :x

Ooh, yeah I've only idled it but haven't played it yet. It sounds like a good choice. Thanks!

Have you tried ES settings? It can be disabled there.

The 400 days DLC is not essential, no, but 1 of the characters from the DLC has an important role in Season 2.
You will see others as well, depending on your choices, but only 1 is actually relevant.

Both seasons have Steam Cloud saves, I'm not sure if season 1 had the feature from the beginning, though.

Yay, Mom's heart is history! This time I had a huge controllable tear, so I just ran around the room and let it do its work

Someone should take it, game is fun.

For a second there I thought your poor old mum was having a heart attack and you're dancing round the room singing 'ding dong the witch is dead' when I get the feeling you're talking about Binding of Isaac.

Haha this time I forgot to add that I was talking about the game.

 

[autoduelist]

So I was having issues with my Steam client being extremely slow -- on store pages, viewing inventory, etc. This was on a new computer with a fresh install so it made no sense at all to me.

For anyone experiencing that, this fixed it:

Steam is now fast like it should be. Simple solution too.

 

[Anteater]

i still got 4.68 steam bucks come on

 

[MMBosstones86]

Another day, another bunch of sadness for deals.

Depending on where you live*, you'll be fine.

I've had three root canals in my life

Spoiler

mostly due to nerve damage caused by a car accident I was in 16 years ago

and they're not too bad. *The first one I had was in southern Alabama and that was an experience.

Thanks for the encouragement. Dental care in Alabama sounds incredibly ironic.

And terrifying.

Protips: Get the crown. It's expensive, but it's absolutely worth the price. Also, don't use the pain meds they give you afterward unless you really need it. Not only does that lessen the chance of addiction, but you'll have a few left over for emergencies!

Dentist didn't give me the option, so I guess that's good. Insurance is picking up most of it which is good, cuz that shit is not cheap.

I paid full price for 4 a couple months ago.(ugggghh) Having to wait until June to get the crowns since the insurance has a 12 month inaugural period before it covers major work.

Holy Shit. That sucks dude.

I refused to pay the high price for a digital copy of Dragon Age Inquisition, so today I paid 60€ for a physical copy.... though i was looking for a Steam Wallet card or a nice SSD at the store but I couldn't find anything else to buy as a present. Hopefully it's as good as it's hyped to be.

It is.

The game got absolutely torn to pieces in The RPS GOTY thread.

Even the people defending the game were making massive concessions for the story, gameplay, etc.

 

[Turfster]

Harsh. It wasn't my favourite adventure game, or even my favourite Daedalic game, to be sure, but it wasn't THAT bad.

It was better than fucking a new beginning, but it was still utter dogshit.

am i the only one who keeps getting signed out of steam? its getting annoying.

Steam's been doing stupid stuff for the last few hours

 

[MRORANGE]

Anyone up for trading cards?

So, is this second DA2? Great press reviews, gets absolutely slammed by anyone who played more than 3 hours?

 

[Dr Dogg]

For those of us filthy Europeans who aren't good enough for Arc System Works and BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend and for what ever reason can't go the trading route Amazon.com have a fantasic 10 whole percent off right now ie $26.99.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QWGF16Y/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Yeah I couldn't wait and still have an abundance of credit.

 

[dex3108]

Garden Warfare will be downloaded in couple of minutes so any advices SteamGAF?

 

[freshVeggie]

I'm starting a streaming on GZ because I'm bored.

please link to it
browser is chugging quite a bit when i open friends tab

 

[Kiru]

If it doesn't turn out to be fun, I'll come to you, Kiru.

lol
Well I had fun with it. Worst case: It has cards !

 

[Tizoc]

Oh thanks forgot we had that thread.

 

[derExperte]

You can add me on Origin (derExperte) and we can play a round together some time.

 

[Grief.exe]

I've been doing some reading around GAF the past couple of days and listening to some informed arguments. From what I have been able to gather

Shallow combat
Streamlined RPG mechanics
Boring quest design
Good world building
Solid visuals
Story and writing is hit or miss

If you like the streamlined direction Bioware games have been going, then you will probably like Inquisition. If you are looking for something with some depth, then it seems you are better off looking elsewhere.
The good news is, this has been a banner year for RPGs. You don't have to look far to scratch that itch with objectively good games.

woo i got a hatoful boyfriend foil~~

I got inspired by this post and crafted a hatoful boyfriend booster pack.


The results:

Thanks zkylon <3

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

So idlemaster has been "working" for nearly 2 hours.

No card-drops.

Is this normal?

 

[Corpekata]

DAI isn't as good as Origins but is nowhere near worthy of the backlash it is receiving in some threads, and certainly not the new DA2.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Thanks!



If it doesn't turn out to be fun, I'll come to you, Kiru.

Welcome!

 

[BasilZero]

Question. A noobish one at it as well

If you delete Borderlands 2 GOTY (and any other DLC you purchased) - do you lose any of the DLC (that you have to buy them again) or do you lose those keys, or anything?

I know there's a certain number of times you can download the DLC for BL1 GOTY....or am I wrong..?

do u have other games running in the background?

the card drop rates plummets spectacularly if you're playing more than one game at a time

No. Older games had activation limits but most games do not have them anymore.

 

[Dr Dogg]

DA:I is alright, not great but certainly not as bad as I've seen it painted. Definitely leans very heavy on the action side of things, story is much more focused than 2 and the cast are certainly more enjoyable too. The reason it has resonated so well with a lot of the press is that it's very easily digestible mechanically, narratively and thematically.

Though if anyone even thinks about saying it has a tactical combat option I really would err on the side of caution with that opinion. Tacked on would be an understatement. You can't queue actions, the camera is a bit fettered until you get the hang of it, party assignments and behaviours are thin on the ground and sometimes don't work reliably. The advance time/fast forward option in a nice feature which somewhat mitigates the lack of queuing but it just adds to the tedium of having to constantly micromanage party members and the battle and ends up taking longer than it should.

No pigeon foil for me.

But I got two foils from an Gunhound EX booster. Was a good day. Even though I still haven't managed to sell the second one.

New Devs Play series, interesting line-up.

Great video.

 

[Hero Prinny]

...okay?
