Do they change depending on which day of the week it is though?
I want some good costumes not this shit, it only will end up being I won't spend money on them (well maybe the fucking Mika suit because it was just too ridiculous)
Also I've decided to buy sfv, is it available on GmG and do you get a key for it now? (I've heard sfv is going to be a bit easier to get into, just what I need as a fighting game noob)

Anyone else have hot Resident Evil 0 costumes they're giving away 
Kind of lame the complete costume pack doesn't discount for us who pre-ordered.

Interactive Fiction fans, the three of you that might be in the midst of SteamGAF, Orihaus' richly detailed and darkly written To Burn In Memory has finally hit Steam. I originally played the web browser version before the audio was fixed, and still found myself lost deep within the city's cracked and filthy walls.
Unlike your standard Twine IF, TBIM has a striking visual design that solidifies the imagery of its destitute locale. There were some features the author wished to use but found difficult to produce in Twine, so they wrote their own IF engine that tailored to their needs. It's an immense undertaking, especially with the chosen lexicon being flowery and poetic over bluntly descriptive. Still, highly worth the read if one can swallow its dense vocabulary and navigate its labyrinthine pathways.

Is it a CYOA or a proper IF (parser and all the jizz)?
You mention TWINE, which kind of makes IFs playable for me. I always hated guess the word problems in IFs.

CYOA. It's a little more in-depth than TWINE titles since you have an inventory for items that give you access to more of the city, and special 'memories' you can unlock which will take you on side stories which explain how the city fell into ruin. But almost all of this is handled by clicking keywords or phrases in the text, rather than a full parser.

That is indeed fine. It'll be banned at EVO, but I still love it.

So those RE0 codes have an expiration date, do Steam codes ever really expire? Because I wasn't planning on buying the game before May.

Playing Resident Evil 0 at 4K and it's insane how good it looks, backgrounds scale well and the character models are exquisite. Bring pre-rendered back please.

It will get banned at EVO...?
Oh wait, when DoA 5 was at EVO they did ban some costumes didn't they? I don't think they ever had to do that for any other game though I don't think.
Technically speaking, codes can be disabled.
But let me highlight something: DLC Code is valid through 2021/01/05
BTW, I just noticed that one of the updates to Windows 10 brought Candy Crush Soda Saga. The Solitaire of the 21st century.
Too bad Solitaire is still a better game.
I havn't messed with it much myself, but you might be able to use something like NirSoft's FolderChangesView to find out where changes are being made. It's always been a real pain in the ass to track that stuff down manually if someone doesn't post a location in the game's discussion forum or something.

I refuse to play Candy Crush if I can't even compete with my own mother, who is at level 400-something. My jaw went to the floor.
If I buy soundtracks on Steam, will I be able to play them through my iPhone somehow?

Came across this interesting blog post on reddit. It's from the developer of Defender's Quest which has been out for 4 years now. In it he talks about how the game continues to sell reasonably well even after so much time. He acknowledges that the game never became an indie darling like FTL or Hotline Miami. It never got wide press coverage or Youtuber attention or anything of the sort. He then wonders why the game continues to sell well enough and comes up with a few reasons. He attributes it to luck (since the game launched in 2012 when the indie scene was very different), high conversion of demo players to customers and the Steam discovery update.
I found that last part pretty interesting. Here's what he says about it
I personally didn't like the discovery update and even use ES to disable it's functionality when browsing the site but it's good to know that it actually does function the way it's meant to.
Check out the post if you're interested in his thoughts. There's a lot of data to back up his reasoning and he's full of humility for the success he has had. It's a good read.

The first Costume Pack is already available but the pre-order t-shirt will probably remain exclusive given it's named "Pre-order bonus Rebecca T-shirt".

So after yesterdays shenanigans of finding out the SFV beta suddenly went live again for a couple of hours in the morning I was fully prepared for it happening again this morning. And low and behold at around the same time as yesterday SFServer tweets out again that the beta is up. And then I proceed to get hammered into the ground. If practice makes perfect I guess no practice makes for my shocking display.
Edit: Well it was only a matter of time...
Surprised I managed to abstain TIS long.
I actually agree (well in terms of the final products we play rather than hardware differences) but then again I'm an old git that grew up in the era of Spectrums, Amstrad CPCs and Commodore 64s. Really if you look back it's at around the Playstaion/Saturn era where titles are coming out for those systems and being closer together than ever before. Sure they each had their own strong suits with the Playstation geared towards 3D whilst the Saturn excelled at 2D titles and with the 4MB RAM pack got better treatment for arcade ports but when you look at some of the multiplatform titles released on those two they weren't these weird hybrid things we used to get even if each version was handled by different dev teams.
Nowadays the difference between one title to the next is maybe a difference in rendering resolution and maybe lower effects quality which compared to the sometimes completely different versions of games 8 and 16bit systems used to get is, in my eyes, pretty minimal when you look at muliplatform titles. Christ just look at Ghostbusters on NES, Master System, 2600, Spectrum, C64 and/or Amstrad CPC. Conceptually it's almost the same game but the differences between each are flipping huge. Fair enough each of these will be handled by a different bunch of programmers but the limitations of each platform really set each apart from one another.
