So I'm checking out Greenlight, and I notice, that Death to Spies 3 and H-Hour: World's Elite isn't there anymore. Is this because it weren't greenlighted, or could it be, that it were greenlighted and they just removed the page because it's on the way to the store?

 

[Endruen]

Why would a snake even have boobs?

 

[Soulflarz]

oh hi guys whats goi- NOPE

 

[Knurek]

Hopefully nobody here bought Skylake CPUs?

Intel Skylake bug causes PCs to freeze during complex workloads

Lamias != Snakes

 

[tuxfool]

This looks cool, is it confirmed for PC or just Xbox One for now?

Here's an interesting Korean 3D arena fighter / beat'em up type game I saw on Steam greenlight:

SMASHING THE BATTLE:

Visually reminds me a mix of Guilty Gear 2 Overture and Android Assault Cactus. Oh, and with hot anime girls.

Can't see anything past the horrible CA.

Oh come on. It's cute.

Daniel Fedor, who made the highly acclaimed NEO Scavenger, is apparently making a highly complex space crew management game, which he describes as a mash-up of Starflight, Prison Architect, and some Firefly. Rock Paper Shotgun recently wrote about it and you can check out the development progress here.

Sounds good to me, I still need to give NEO Scavenger a spin though.

Steam concurrent user numbers peaked again at almost 12.4M

It is really interesting to see concurrent user going above 12M so many times in so short timeframe.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Oh come on. It's cute.

Pikachus are not fans of snakes ladies.

 

[YianGaruga]

I wonder if its not mainly because of the discounts, but because of all the new regions that were added in November.

At least, anecdotally from what I can see, since Valve introduced the RMB (chinese currency) there are far more Chinese using Steam now.

Yeah I'm hoping they adjusted their data for that and general user growth.

My thoughts: People generally buy what is on the front page during sales, daily or not, so worse avg discount leads to more revenue overall.

EDIT: I approve of posting monster girls

Soon jshackles has thousands of Steam account infos!

I've been using it for months without any problem, it's totally safe, but of course it has to connect to steam to play your games.

All riven, kith and kin,
All given for this, a never-ending riddle,
My flesh worn, heart betorn,
Mind, by mem'ry, begyved...

As I wander, cold and immane?
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coils of light,
The life I desired?

"Anon must we part?"
Words like a dart, red and dire,
Eyne that accoyed with their heat,

O! How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma!
Unbound by time, all-binding, grand design,
Land and skies and seas yearn,
Finish the cycle of eternal return,

When thou pulledst this boy from the sand,
Didst thou see him bearded, with brand?
And within the coils of light, when our blades took flight-
What future didst thou envision?

As I keep this frozen demesne,
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coils of light,
The life I desired?

How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma

I have a theory that the best thing that happened to Steam wasn't necessarily good pc ports or having publishers jump in more and more, it's that minecraft took off on PC. It introduced a whole new generation of children to desktop PCs and PC gaming and as those minecraft kids grow up and want to play something else, the fact that they grew up on the PC platform and dont see it as some sort of impossibly obtuse device for old people who are set in their ways is going to be a hell of a thing

Obviously that doesn't mean that the other factors aren't helping too but im wondering how helpful that has been for exposing young gamers to PC gaming in general

 

[milena87]

That's really generous of you. I hope you enjoy Dragon's Dogma!

I hope as well, thanks
The new videos of the PC port finally sold me. Now I just need to read about the Pawn system and decide what combination of classes I should go for.

A lamia. Also, it's adorable is what it is.

im the last person to defend some of the anime antics japan gets into


but sexy snake ladies dates all the way back to the ancient greeks if not even further

I think the new sale system is ok: everything is on sale the entire time, with the same discount throughout. If you were considering a game on the first day, you can bite the bullet and get it on the last. I get that many people think this is boring compared to dailies/flash deals, but I have no real problem with it.

I forget which Gunde- game it was but I was fighting this boss. She did a charging attack. When it connected I went from FIVE lives to NONE.

Biggest WTF moment. I've never seen that in a 2D shooter before.

I'm just accepting that these games are too tough for me, even on the easiest setting. That's why I loved Jamestown so much, just manageable enough if you're a casual player of these games.

Idle Master grows your Steam Trading Card collection in your absence

Idle Master accumulates Steam Trading Cards while you sleep

I had a huge surge of traffic this morning, guess this explains a lot. Those comments are depressing though.

RIP jshackles' mailbox.

Also, this. Idle Master is strange for me now because there really isn't much I can do to improve on it. Unlike Enhanced Steam, there isn't much "new" to do with Steam trading cards. The tool does it's job when it can, then doesn't when it can't. The vast majority of support requests I get are still from people that don't understand that you can't get trading cards for games you don't already own.

The few things I have thought about adding into Idle Master, such as it automatically selling the card drops you earn from using it put it far too close to the type of "total market automation" that Valve actively tries to shut down. What's weird (for me) is that Idle Master has been on a trend the last six months to be more popular than Enhanced Steam, so I feel like I should be working on it.

Nobody ever wants a reverse lamia. I wonder why?

everyone knows that the ancient greeks and romans were just a bunch of weebs anyway.

Oh yeah, I know he did Enhanced Steam. I just thought he also made Idle Master based on the comments.

Tinybuild will be announcing 4 new games on PAX South. 1 of them is assumably a sequel to Lovely Planet.

There are descriptions and a picture to all 4 of them in the press mail, but it won't let me copy them. One is "This War of Mine" on a train, another is about a ball.

WoW did that too for the early teen generation imo. That game is still the biggest and most profitable game ever made. And its a pc exclusive too hehe.
