after the sale the top rated 2015 steam game list changed, I noticed accidentally, for those interested:

1 Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
2 Crypt of the NecroDancer
3 Eternal Senia
4 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone
5 Secrets of Grindea
6 Infinifactory
7 Undertale
8 Kerbal Space Program
9 Broforce
10 Nuclear Throne

back in December it looked like this

1. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes 99%
2. Undertale 98%
3. Eternal Senia 98%
4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone 98%
5. TIS-100 98%
6. Infinifactory 98%
7. Assault Android Cactus 98%
8. Kerbal Space Program 97%
9. Broforce 97%
10. Nuclear Throne 97%


that discount really worked for NecroDancer. IDK why I haven't picked it, I should have

I didn't notice Secrets of Grindea being discounted, though

Look at Eternal Senia holding it in 3rd place.

I haven't checked recently, but when it was released, it was literally a some bought-on-the-asset-store models and a basic unity heightmap with sample textures on it, scaled badly.

I'm not a fan, if you're wondering. =p

I've always been too weary to try it (also I don't buy EA games).
Yes, it was obvious how you felt.

So it's powerful enough for anything I can through at it and worth picking up at that price then I take it?

Tom's Hardware has it as one of the best UHD cards.
A single Radeon R9 Fury X is fast enough to post playable frame rates at 3840x2160 in most modern games using carefully chosen quality settings. It’s actually quicker than Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980 Ti by virtue of its HBM, too. But you’ll need to place the liquid-cooled card’s 120mm radiator in your chassis, making it a little unwieldy. Again, the two boards are equally impressive, compelling us to call this a tie.
Don't really know much else, though. Sorry.

2016: I started a bunch of games I'm never going go finished.

that's every year

but those games aren't going anywhere, i'll finish them by 2018

Yeah alright. I'm not gonna do that.

i know this is likely not a thing since no one gives a shit about their ps3 backlog but me but

sometimes, the game timer doesn't show up in the game BUT it does show up in the save file. So if you check your save file while at the crossbar menu, it'll show how long you've played in the campaign.

most nintendo machines from the last few years have a log that shows how much time you've spent with a game so that's an option, too.

but yeah, i wish all games had timer's built in for shit like this. I guess developers hesitate because one of the things that people bring up as a complaint against a game is that I BEAT IT IN 6 HOURS BLAH WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT. So why feed fuel to the fire? Just look at the folks who complained about MGR and Vanquish before their releases for example

No games
Mockingjay Part 2 - my wife wanted to go
No books

So far this year. Join me in not committing to anything!

I have read one chapter of Anna Karenina and have been playing The Old Hunters in my free time.
 
I beat Lightning Returns last night so I'm done with it in time for Dragon's Dogma.

I suppose after that I'll finally have to get around to playing one of the Final Fantasys that isn't XIII.

I feel weird trying to commit to playing games. I have goals and commitments with regard to work, personal projects and other hobbies, but games are just my preferred leisure activity. I feel like making that an obligation would ruin my enjoyment.

Sounds like you're the perfect candidate to commit to nothing with me in that case. Welcome!

not sure if this is new or not.

someone made a 60fps unlocker for split second.

Are you talking about the one linked here? Supposedly that one had some lingering powerplay related issues so I never tried it. Or is there something else out there? My googling isn't coming up with anything.

Yeah bit so-so that the codes don't exist but within 24 hours mine worked (actually the code said it was already activated) but I was sent a replacement one that gave me the Steam key and I'm all activated :D

The Newegg email covered the Dirt Rally codes so they should be fine.

awake now- I should specify I'm not mad about the specific situation because it's not a rule on GAF.
Moreso advocating that it should be a rule that if your key comes from a potentially questionable source (G2A, glitch keys, etc), you should have to specify that.
Especially when people are selling keys from thin air at like $5 above G2A, because why would someone buy a shady key if it's the same from G2A directly and cheaper (not like I ever want to buy a G2A key anyways)

Is the pawn stuff really that important in the game? I've seen a lot of talk about it but I still don't get what it is or how it works.

nah, it's just a gimmick imo

it's a pretty cool gimmick tho because you can also share items and stuff with it, and say you created a disgusting loli pawn she'll show up on my end and I can hire her, when I'm done I can gift you gears that I found or put on some clothes for your pawn that might be useful to you

I didn't know this. Thanks for this tip. Though I'm on PS4 but the save file might also have data on it. Gonna check it out.

I haven't completed anything this year. 0 games, 0 movies, 0 books. I have started a few games and tv shows though. Still proud of my current achievements in Final Fantasy VII though.
