STEAM | February 2015 - Steam GOTY results still delayed

Status
Not open for further replies.
DigeratiDistribution bought the IP rights for Paranautical Activity off of the the guys who said they'd kill Gabe Newell and are putting it back on Steam.

I asked how much involvement the guy who threatened to kill Gabe has and they said none.

They probably picked it up for pennies on the dollar. With all the exposure the "new and controversial" re-release will bring, they'll make some profit off it.

The Lost Pisces... Something tells me my wallet is going to get light on the 20th of this month. I told myself I'd stay away from Kickstarter this year, but there have been 3 games so far this year that just look awesome. This being one of them

Pretty much, but I don't really remember the jump scares even being that startling/effective.

As someone who was expecting a nice walk through the forest with maybe some cute mythological creatures (people said they loved it, people usually don't love jump scare games) I wasn't expecting it. Nor was I expecting the blood or the screech.
I scare easily. Sue me!

Le sigh, I was super excited to play NBA2K15 during the free weekend to see if I should actually purchase it, I skipped on the console one because of boycotting them due to the VC nonsense of last year. But I can't even download the free weekend. I hit play and either nothing happens or steam says it's checking for updates to the games list for a millisecond. I've restarted steam, installed the beta, tried everything besides deleting that blob file or reinstalling steam because I don't want another marketplace ban for a week. Anyone know a fix?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
DigeratiDistribution bought the IP rights for Paranautical Activity off of the the guys at Code Avarice and are putting it back on Steam.

I asked how much involvement Mike(the guy who threatened to kill Gabe) has and they said none.

I'd love it if Valve required them to show the paperwork to show they aren't getting a royalty from sales.


What happened to Spinal Destination?

Turns out they're spineless.

One third of my Neptunia playtime is grinding and moving shares in the last chapter to get the boss fight right. So far. I probably have to do some mkre tomorrow. Urgh.

Finally got some decent AO working with Gears of War (yeah sorry it still ain't on Steam but it's not like we have a GFWL Marketplace thread on here now is it)
Before said:
After said:

Still for all it's contact shadowy goodness now Gears still has the blandest colour pallet in a game ever. I'm never a fan of SweetFX and the like (especially when most people who use it go fucking nuts and ruin the colour balance something chronic) but I'm half tempted to have a dabble with Reshade just to bring a little less saturation out of the blues, greens and reds that exist in the environment.

I played some solo Evolve just to get used to the game a little better. Picked assault class...and I am really, really, really, (you get the point), bad...lol

Hopefully this weekend I can play a few games with some GAF members

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.
lol opened Idlemaster for the 1st time, 1315 card drops remaining $$$

Out of curiosity, what made you use it for the first time? Did you just now hear about it?

Yeah heard about it in this thread a few days ago but couldn't use it then as steam wasn't sending emails so i couldnt log into it

Cool. :) If you run into any issues, let me know. I'm on track to release a new update some time this weekend if all goes well, so keep an eye out for that also.

Also man while your here is it possible to put a thing into enhanced steam that notifies you when a games pre-load goes up as i preorder and good few games and sometimes forget to preload
 
so i've been breaking in my new mega PC over the last month, getting used to all the various sound (it runs the fans so quiet and little compared to my older machine, so I can hear things i've never heard before like the water-cooler pump on the CPU kicking in, coil whine when they don't FPS-lock a menu screen and suddenly the FPS shoots into the 700s, etc) but when just playing I kept hearing this

*click* *click* *click*

Almost like a Cherry Blue mechanical keyboard switch, which is odd given I use Cherry Browns.

*click* *click* *click*

... the hell? Well, I finally just figured it out. It's the damned pistol shrimp in my fishtank. The one I put in 10 days ago that promptly disappeared into the rockwork and I haven't seen since. Well, he's out now, and basically harassing my damn Goby 18 ways to Sunday. On the one hand, good to know it's alive. On the other hand... leave my damned Goby alone!

... so I think it's time to give Neptunia and Evolve a rest and play some Sunless Sea instead in honor of the dumb thing.

Just figured I'd chime in and say that I started using it only a few months ago. I knew about it for awhile, but a big reason why I started using it was because I've been playing a lot of Divinity: Original Sin, which I bought off gog.com. As a result, I could keep the game and Idlemaster running at the same time.

edit: and when I go to the store page it says it's in my library but in my library the game was never updated.. I call shenanigans.. false advertising! gaben pls put an end to this chicanery thx m8

Well, these sorts of things aren't exposed in the Steam API (besides maybe in the "news" section, sometimes) so it's difficult to get a source for Enhanced Steam to get this information from. It would have to be cross-referenced with a list of apps that you own (which, fortunately, is in the API) either every page load or on some kind of timer schedule.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's not something that lends itself well to what Enhanced Steam does and how browser plugins in general operate.

Makes sense, thanks. I hear that a lot actually, wish there was something I could do about it but obviously that's on Valve's end.

For you.

I don't think that the update is live just yet.

K, kinda wish steam would implement it in someway or just put it in your download list when the preload is up
 
What a great bundle!
