Is there a way to disable comment notifications? Like, when I comment on someone's profile, steam, for some reason, "subscribes" me to that profile. Notifying me about comments on their profile. Just.. Why?

What, I never experienced that.

By default Steam splits results across pages of up to 10 results each, however you can Install Enhanced Steam to enable continuous scrolling of search results (i.e. one big list).

Yeah, but i don't think you can search for something from within that group. Something like 'all games that are on sale right now' -> 'FPS games that are on sale right now'.

Crysis shows up for me in my link, but the Dead Space games are no longer on sale from what I can tell. What region are you in?

USA, when I click that link it says at the bottom there are 83 games from that search. The Crysis games are not listed. What do you see?

EDIT: I am using Enhanced Steam in Chrome. Also, it is only showing me the first 25 search results. I am confused.

Also, is there an easy way to get to your messages? I have just been waiting until I get a notification and then clicking on it and getting to my messages that way. It also seems to me that if I miss a message notification as it happens there is no indicator anywhere that I have messages waiting. There must be something that I am missing.

Which notifications? There's the envelope icon next to your account name that will be green and closed when there are new notifications like unread chat messages, new stuff in the inventory, trade offers etc.

Not yet (they haven't even started working on it yet), but I think you get it for free if you purchase the base game during Early Access.

They have a good roadmap here: Sunless Sea Roadmap

Ah, thanks. I'll probably snap it up myself before 10% early bird discount ends.

You can.

I don't get any notifications for unread chat messages for some reason

If continuous scrolling is playing up for you, you can disable it in the extension's settings and return to Steam's default view of individual pages.
 
i've been tasked with this before and the reason I keep it simple is because it's kinda hard to convey or even say much about it

it just feels perfectly polished. A lot of games go for that sort of "feel" or homage to that era but none really nails it as much as Shovel Knight does.

It also doesnt shy away from being modern where modern is better, game being widescreen for example. It's annoying when an "8 bit" game also emulates everything that was shitty about 8 bit games.

I think looking at a video gives you a pretty clear idea of what you're in for, and there's no bad surprises along the way in terms of boring parts or lacklusting levels or anything. It's short and sweet (5.5 hours to beat) so they clearly took their time in making it as neat a package as they could.

3D effect is deep as fuuuuck. like 4 layers deep. makes it stand out a lot, couldnt help but feel the levels lose a lot of charm when they're on a single plane probably.

I have never been impressed with 3d anything. Especially on my 3ds.
I sincerely doubt I'm missing anything with your inferior version of Shovel Knight. 8p

It happens with only some people's profiles I've noticed, not all. Not sure why.

Chalk it up to my current by choice laziness (but will probably soon (hah) change once I get a sizable chunk of backlog sorted out)

but what is the cheapest I could get Broforce 4-packed? I thought I saw a GAFer doing $18.50 via Paypal but I could have been in a fever dream

These two keys are still left if anyone wants them to +1 their collection go for it. Otherwise they are going to the sad sad place that unwanted games go.

It was my comment wasn't it? ;-;

I'm pretty sure you can turn it off somewhere but i forgot how.

It notifies you because we are all mutual friends, by the way.

Well you can choose a price point and a genre and search that way but you'll get games that aren't on sales and that's just their base price. You would also need to make several searches for the different price points.
It would be better if you could also choose 'on sale'.

You can disable comment notifications related to profiles but you can't "unsubscribe" from individual profiles.

Are you saying that Steam should distinguish between, say, Sunless Sea's 10% discount and 75% off the Crysis games? Because any additional filters you apply to the specials page don't overrule &specials=1.

Weird never had that happen to me yet, and I comment on peoples pictures every once in a while. I didn't even know you could subscribe to profiles activities lol.

Does anyone want any of these coupons?

Someone should totally take that Lyne coupon if they don't already have the game. It's a simple yet soothing puzzle game that'll help you slowly unwind without stressing your brain. Totally worth $0.30.

I've barely even turned on the 3D on my 3DS, but I've left it on as I play shovel knight. It really does add something, as hard as it is to believe

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
JaseC doing support for me. :) Good on ya.

Also, all this Shovel Knight talk is making me want to grab it - I have some free time this afternoon and was thinking either that, Valiant Hearts, or more Divinity.

It's a great time to be a PC gamer.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
hmmmm Sunless Sea has a fuckload of unique terms and shit for their mechanics, makes it a bit wee harder than usual to know whats going on (as opposed to games that call stuff gold, or mana, or whatever)

my biggest concern right now, from just 15mins or so, is the logbook is way too small for what seems like a important part of the game, any way of making it bigger?

I mean that text box in the lower left corner that keeps updating you on whats going on

Oh bollocks, I forgot to buy Jazzpunk from the Humble Store yesterday and now it's back to full price again.

Shouldn't be long until it's back on sale, though. I have plenty of other shit to play in the meantime.

Do you upload every single one you take? Or do you pick your favorites, but that only narrows down to 75.
 
Do you always play at that time roughly or just whenever you can get a few together? That's too late for me but I'd be happy to play in the future if it was a more reasonable time for me (GMT).

Still working out times, we played on Friday at around this time (right now). I can try making it earlier to allow for more people to play with us in the future.


I assume CS Source owners can't join?

Just CS:GO sorry.

As always I usualy cherry pick the good ones and non spoilery one. Uploaded about a third of what I've taken via Steam
I've got waaaay more from RTSS/Precission but they're not too much different than Steam shot to be honest compression wise.

When I was going through Mass Effect 2 I had about 40gbs worth of screenies just through Steam. Shadowplay has become the new Scratch Disk storage hog though.

I have a meeting at that time, but if you guys are still on an hour or so after I'd be happy to jump in.

Personally I don't upload anything I don't have a good, original caption for. So it's normally less than half the shots I take. I'm a little more permissive with games that almost no one has played.
