Is there an option to receive a notification when someone quote you?
Just search for your own name.

There was once a feature similar to it I think. Caused performance issues and was reverted.
When someone quotes you, your text will be in a green box (if you use light skin, dunno about the dark and gloomy skin)
On Steam Community or GAF? In either case you can instead search for your name or, if you sport a common name/word, use quote=yournamehere. The problem Steam Community is that you can only search for text within a given app's specific hub. As mentioned above, GAF did have a "Who's quoted me feature?" for a brief while; it was removed due to being too much of a resource hog.
Today (January 14th, for those in the future.) is officially the 33rd anniversary of the day of my birth.
So, here's a tiny something from me to you.

So publishers are just going to label every negative review as a funny review. Oh yeah this is going to go over well.
I'd guess that a certain percentage of "Funny review" reports have to be filed before the review is flagged for, uh, review. Developers don't have final say when it comes to reviews being flagged as inappropriate (that's left up to moderators and, higher still, Valve employees themselves) and I doubt that's going to change.
I'll take a couple crappy people doing this over the "Lol I punched a tree" shit that drowns most Steam reviews.
Happy birthday! =)
Happy anniversary day. Was going to enter for Summoner, but I have it already for some reason
oh ya, I was supposed to rant about Sega bass fishing last weekend, but then I started Transistor and totally forgot.
Those controls are bad, like in awful, they are killing the game. Is it any way to improve it, some mod for mouse to work at least for aiming-area picking, for example? Or nobody plays and cares?

Kinda late here, but kudos to the person giving away Distance. Just going by the Early Access version, it's a fun game. I'll get back to it once it the "full" version is released.

I really wish I had more time to go back and finish 100%'ing Dark Souls 2. Only have a few achievements left relating to getting all the sorceries, hexes, etc. But that means going into a 3rd playthrough.
Shame.
Shame.
Happy birthday !
At least they are improving something instead of adding more features
I'm not sure it'll turn to be improvement... It means these won't count as negative-positive reviews, because that's the case, volvo ruined all system, however flawed it was, it still kinda worked, more or less
edited: what I mean, even if I write a joke review, my thumb is very serious, I assume that's the case for all joke reviews.
steam key for Retention available through Desura
With the game selling for 84c it's almost not worth the effort, haha.

Yeah, I'm missing like 2-3 spells in each category and I've been putting it off for the same reason. The NG++ or obscene covenant requirements were pretty dickish of them seeing as that Dark Souls 1 didn't require more than 10-30 of whatever activity to unlock covenant stuff.

I was hoping someone on GAF, if anyone would have found a good way of playing it with a controller.
This games plays perfectly well on consoles with a controller, which is how I've been playing it since it was released. I'm not sure about why games like these have no business being compatible with controller, I like to play this whilst lying down.

And as we all know, moderators and valve employees are dedicated to ensuring the appropriateness of flags. Just like all those Disney games that get tagged with things like "Dark Fantasy," "World War II," "Nudity," "Violent," etc. They get taken down almost immediately after someone reports them! ...Right? ...Oh.
You really need to have this controller to play the game correctly.
Damn, halfway through January and I'm still ways off from having beaten 10 games.
Need to look for some short-ish ones, quota to be met and all that.
They Breathe, Shelter, some freeware adventure games should suffice, right? Need to finish Mega Man 3 as well, that shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours...
Decisions, decisions...

Valve employees have no time for that, they are super busy with... oh wait.

That's pretty much where I'm at as well. NG+ provides nothing but a grind to NG++. I loved DaS2, but not enough to grind through it twice when I have a long list of games to play through for the first time.
So, Scratches: Director's Cut was pulled earlier and may not return. Meridian4 doesn't own the game and in such cases publishing rights always revert back to the copyright owner after some time -- the problem here is that the copyright owner, two-man outfit Nucleosys, shut up shop in 2009. I can't seem to find any information on what happened to Scratches, however if it went with one of the co-founders to Senscape or was otherwise sold, then it'll probably be back soon enough; otherwise it exists in limbo.

morning my hoes <3 up extra early to watch that nintendo direct lmfao.
Was this in a bundle before? Because I don't remember I got it at all.
Buying too many game bundles is problematic if you want to remember what games you have >.<
One thing I've been noticing with my gaming habits as of the last year is that I'm finding differing stopping points due to various factors and my enjoyment with said game. For example I didn't get all the collectibles for Far Cry 3 but just enough to get all the achievements where as I wouldn't leave an island on Black Flag unless it was clear of icons. Most game I tend to playthrough the first time without looking at the achievements just so I can enjoy it and not feel obliged to go out of my way to do things. Some I will go through again and mop things up straight after where others I will leave for months or years later when there's a lull in releases or a time when I have an urge to revisit something. Others get cast to the side never to be spoken of again.
But the one common thing between all of them is that if the game is starting to feel like work and not fun anymore then I have no qualms shelving it. Saying that due to a local HMV about to go up the spout, sensing a deal on FFXIV timecards possible due to their being bloody loads there and what with a new patch on the horizon I get the feeling I might be falling down that hole again for a while.
Edit: Oh and Happy B'Day pahamrick.

I was playing Space Channel 5: Part 2 earlier and it was being an enjoyable experience, but at the second stage the frame rate started to drop, the worst part being the level boss, it becomes unplayable when the games runs at 18fps.
Edit: Searching on the community it seems this problem was introduced in the patch that added achievements to the Dreancast collection.

Yeah, it was bundled quite a few times (mostly Groupees).

This is quite the scrub question but if I buy a pack (like the 1C Strategy Collection or the Darksiders Collection) from Steam's store any choose to have it in my inventory as a gift do I then get to activate specific items and gift the others or is it stored as a single item?
NingenJanai

No, it's a single item, you either activate the whole thing or gift the whole thing, can't split it.
I see, thank you.

Watch dogs, why you gotta be so damn mediocre? It's like someone took the filler missions in a GTA game and made a whole game around that. C'mon, ubisoft, you gotta make this shit come together for WD2.
It just looks that way because you have one eye.
I can run Watch Dogs acceptably with max settings aside from textures, but the moment-to-moment gameplay didn't do much for me. My disinterest in Watch Dogs is why I hope Ubi doesn't go all out with a modern-day AssCreed.
I wound up giving up on this one midway (maybe most of the way?) through.
Time for "PC Monster Race" to shine!
Yeah, about that...
I play at 768p.

It's disgusting terminology and Gaf should honestly just auto-ban for having it in a post.
Most of the people I have seen using it around this site generally aren't PC gamers though.
Some bundles leftovers... Enjoy!
