My parrying is still a little sloppy, but I mostly got it down. Armstrong still beats the crap out of me tho, mostly because of the fucking lava fountains he creates. And when I get him to 160 health or below, I'm screwed when I have to cut the debris he throws at me since the time window to slice it is so ridiculously small. But maybe that's down to the fact that I haven't upgraded Blade Mode much at all.

You can just run straight ahead when the debris appears, but if you can cut them you get healing pastes.

Do you prefer Saoirse Ronan gifs then? SteamGaf has been this way for quite a bit of time, and many times we end up talking about stuff that hasn't even anything to do with Steam. It's basically a chat room. And I love it this way.

As Salsa said, the thread is a mess. And we like it that way.

I don't really care what people post, just trying to explain why some people were upset

Is there any backgrounds for Astebreed or Long Live the Queen? I'm pretty sure Astebreed has background.

EDIT: LOL wtf one of these background is 22$ Who in the hell pays 22$ for a steam profile background!?!?!
Click to expand...

Well one Astebreed background... oh you found it already :p But the chapter ones aren't bad :eek: Thanks for the suggestion! I want to tidy up my profile before I add myself to the GAF list and start chatting and all.

Seems to me that the problem are those people. Not him or the people posting screenshots.

It's an unfortunate side effect of the screenshot posting.

people complaining about what happens "in the thread" in general is just weird to me

I mean I pile up on the "no lists" joke cause it's fun

but come the fuck on

thread is a mess, and we like it as is. Sometimes it steers into some good game recommendation/helpful info/questions/what have you but the only reason this thread moves at the pace it does is because people basically keep it alive as a chat room/community

and I like that, it's just fun, as messy as it is

apparently mods are fine with it too since we're not on community yet. It's cool to complain about NSFW and whathaveyou but lets not pretend this thread is some sort of beacon for legit useful steam talk 24/7. It's, for the most part, just people having fun
Click to expand...

I like it as a mess too. Most of my posts are now exclusively in SteamGaf and the occasional off topic section post. I just think that the gifting brag posts, no matter how good the intentions of those posts are, are starting to get a little too much negative attention.

I mean come on, even you were parodying them :p

Rhaknar said:
is that Alpaca game coming out soon? :eek:
Click to expand...

There's no official date yet, but it has to be relatively soon. Sekai Project's blog mentioned that they would be "selling a limited run of physical copies of PacaPlus at Anime Expo this year," and that started today. I'm hoping it's on Steam before the end of August, but I could see it arriving later than that, since the publisher does seem to be taking on a lot of different localization efforts at once.

Aye, let's let SteamGAF keep steamgaffing. I barely even step outside of the Steam thread anymore, there's always something fun going on in here.

I just need more time to catch up to this breakneck posting rate we seem to have achieved all of a sudden.

The game doesn't tell you this but you don't need to line up all the squares to cut them. As long as you're generally in the area, you can cut it. This only applies to that fight though.

Really boggles my mind all this talk about people gifting each other.



And people that feel "left out" and "jealous"? Holy fuck ahahah, can't find that anything more than hilarious. Thinking that you aren't part of SteamGaf because you don't receive gifts? What a horrible and childish way to think.
Click to expand...

I didnt get a gift from nbnt and

41022-will-smith-I-aint-even-mad-tKbi.jpeg


actually that what motivated me to start giving more. I realized even with the ridiculous wealth that nbnt has. He couldnt gift everyone. So I started gifting some to help out. Thats all it is.

People shouldnt be mad if they're not getting gifts. Gifts are NOT required in SteamGAF. if you happen to get one. awesome. if not. just chill and have fun. good things come to those who wait.

I never once ask for anything from SteamGAF, I still dont. But I do get stuff every now and then, and I appreciate them from the bottom of my heart.

so can we all just relax and just enjoy discussions and every now and then a giveaways?

well, I think there's limits but I also think the thread just steers itself towards wherever it wants to go

usually you complain about something and it's already gone. it moves fast and nothing really sticks

no gifts in the last 2 pages

haha you don't have to worry about that! I'm background less myself right now :p Used to have the Rare SHODAN System Shock 2 Background and a really cool Witcher 2 background, but since then I haven't really worried about it and ended up going back to background less. I really gotta find myself a new background, I used my old ones for too long and gotta find something new.

speaking of TVs

my monitor sometimes will crap out and goes off for like, a second, then comes back

this happens cause I have a DVI-HDMI converter on it since my graphics card only outputs 1 HDMI slot and im already using it for my TV

so now I have:

1 - HDMI - going to the TV
1 - DVI - converted into HDMI - going to the monitor


BUT

if I use the HDMI on my monitor, the turning off randomly issue goes away

AND, if I use this DVI-HDMI adapter on my TV.. the issue doesnt show up there!

so yeah, im bound to start using the DVI-HDMI converter on my TV instead and the HDMI on my monitor, since that gives me no issues

problem is my DVI cable isnt long enough, and im lazy but I need to buy a longer one

Eh, once again I say: that's the whiners fault, not the gifted or the gifter. Those kind of attitudes are quite frankly disgusting. Even more so if someone really thinks that they need to be gifted to consider themselves part of this community. Feeling left out because of not receiving a darn gift. Are those people 12 or something?

either Don Bradman Cricket 14 or Divinity: Original Sin.

Which one should i gift? On one hand you got super duper GAF hype. On the other hand you got probably the best cricket game released in 10+ years.
Click to expand...

I picked up Don Bradman Cricket 14 and it is really fun even for me who has such a little understanding of cricket. So I say get the only good cricket game in years and it could be a while for another one.

That's some damn good parrying, I'm trying to beat all the bosses in MGR:R without getting hit once and so far I've done everything up to Monsoon, so I should probably learn to parry like that, I imagine it'll make my life a bit easier.

Be careful. This is why the Rock Band mega thread was eventually (rightfully) closed. If an OT eventually just becomes an insular private "off topic" unto itself it really doesn't serve its purpose anymore and the mods shut it down.

On that topic that's kind if the annoyance with the public gifting. It comes off as "clique"-y to those not getting gifts and people can say "just blow it off" buy how can it not be haves and have-nots in that case?

OT threads should be about welcoming in and including people getting turned on to this for the first time.

Anywho whatever. I just started recently for the sales and hidden gems as I am getting back into PC gaming. But yeah the threads have turned into pages and pages of gifting and "pay what you want bundle" megagiver spamming.

I agree with you completely. I have no expectations that someone will give me a gift just because I post in this thread. If they do, then that is fantastic and I will be immensely grateful, but if not, I still think it's awesome how generous people are. I don't see the need to keep gifts a secret. People seeing the generosity is actively encouraging more people to be generous. That should be encouraged.

Now that's not to say I'm not a bit jealous when someone gets gifted a big ticket item. That's only natural. But I'm not going to turn that bit of jealousy into resentment towards someone who is only doing a nice thing, or towards someone who literally did nothing but say thank you.

I say carry on being amazing SteamGAF. Everyone should just enjoy it and not have any expectations.

Some of the Guilty Gear Isuka ones are cheap. I'm using the Millia Rage/Eddie one right now. But I figure that's not what you have in mind. :lol

This is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for. But dat price...

Checking out Guilty Gear right now still, thanks too! :) And yeah I saw that one earlier but naah... too season specific and not really my style :p

Also yeah these prices are ridiculous, I saw one I might have liked but 5€+... no thanks Steam.

Divinity's not my thing. But also my thoughts on cricket most resemble the cricket scene in the masterpiece of cinema King Ralph. So out of those two above, I would recommend Shovel Knight.

Exactly! Hell, I don't think I ever got a direct gift from a gaffer (only through raffles) and I feel pretty integrated on this awesome community <3 and I even give some gifts to gaffers both through raffles and directly many times :). Never ever felt out off it because of something as mundane as gifts. I don't think I'm entitled to gifts just because I'm part of the community :p

And I agree, people need to relax the darn off.
