I have mixed feelings about Hatoful Boyfriend, for one side I want to support more of these games coming to Steam, for the other side I hate pigeons, disgusting flying rats that like to poop in my head. -_-

On the simulator front:

Apparently Water Simulator, Black Screen Simulator, and Blue Screen Simulator have all been removed from Greenlight. Valve does listen to complaints, sometimes.

Looking for moderators/facilitators for NeoGAF's Games Night group.

To apply, do not reply in this thread. Reply to the thread in the link above.

Have three so far but we're all based in NA. Would love some EuroGAF facilitators!

Why not just give everyone the ability to host events? That way if people are thinking about playing a game, but want to play with others, they can just host one. Maybe have there be unofficial events and official events by approved members?

I might randomly set some stuff up if you need. I'm English but my work time varies depending on how much I get done in a day so not going to be the best for planning. So not applying, just saying I can help out on occasion ;)
Click to expand...

The application is to just get a general idea of when moderators can set up games times. You don't have to be available all the time. If you wish to create events for the group, even if it's a few hours before you want to start you should think about applying. :)

If everyone has power it might get a little crazy and events may start to overlap. I'd rather keep the power limited so the group doesn't become too spammy and event littered.

Hey I'm looking at a 4 pack of Magicite over here. Seems to run about 1 key per copy if I can find 1-2 more people who are interested, according to the wise and helpful Russian bear.



I've been saying this since I played it.
I did post that webm of Octodad putting the pirhana in the microwave and turning it on... I suppose nobody was paying attention though.

The game made me laugh so hard while I was playing it, unlike my experience with Surgeon Simulator 2013 where I get frustrated by the controls and my inability to make them work precisely.

I might be interested in Magicite. I'll be home in an hour and a half. If you can wait until then for me to make sure, that'd be awesome.

To add on to this, nothing is stopping anyone from messaging a moderator to set up an event if you wanna host one but aren't a mod yourself.

Id love to, for EuroGAF - but I'm not always available so I could only host something once in a while. On a regular basis I suppose, but inconsistent in terms of what day etc.. ;_;
Click to expand...

As I said above it's just to get a general sense of the times you are available, I'll make a note of that in my original post.

EDIT: Promoted you Marco. :)

To me, Water Simulator was more of a gag, a piss-take on simulators, while Black Screen Simulator and Blue Screen Simulator just seemed like petulant people angry at Valve for letting junk on the store. I reported the two latter and voted yes on the former. to be honest.

I'm not really sure about Black Screen Simulator, but Blue Screen Simulator seemed like a blatant ad for the creator's other game. This was included at the bottom of the Greenlight page for it.

So it just felt like it was on Greenlight to draw attention to the other games that were put up by the same person. SanctuaryRPG, the game that the link is for, is currently on Greenlight too. I don't really get why the person was trying to draw attention to the game since it would be a free release anyway, but that's just my take on it.

I could see Water Simulator being a parody sim, maybe.

Ended up doing pretty decent doing some random pub CS:GO Comp matches. Completed my Mission in Dust 2 and got a new one for Castle. Won my first game and did pretty well K/D wise, then second game was insanely close and we started to comeback, but still lost 16 to 13. I'm just happy I seem to be doing a little better.

Thanks for the links, but my DS4 is working great with everything else, just not BoI. I wonder if it is something specific to that game. I'll tinker some more
Click to expand...

I remember I had to come up w a custom controller profile for BoI previously - when I was using... lol Motioninjoy

it doesn't support controllers natively right?

Really not feeling Magic... kinda regret getting it. I was pretty big into MTG the first 10 years it was out, and dabbled a little bit in the earlier versions of DOTP series, but I find this game really lacking. The interface and menus are slow and clunky, I swear earlier versions were better. I was excited to customize decks, but this just seems overboard with the microtransactions and the push to play physical MTG in some of the menus. Coming from some moderate Hearthstone play, I find the presentation and fun factor just better with that game, even if the mechanics are extremely dumbed down. I'm not totally giving up on it yet, but I am a bit disappointed.

Which game is this? Reminds me of Tomb Raider 1. Actual tombs.

Yep, gonna enter too. Just need to have that special moment. Probably L4D2.
Would have been better if you could enter ~3 videos. Oh well.
Did you also enter the scavenge hunt?
Click to expand...

Yup, I entered all 5 (including the PrecisionX 15 one).

Disagree, it's best with pure keyboard. Many fingers to input four directions for each hand instead of just your thumbs. You definitely don't want to use a mouse though.
Click to expand...

Diagonals are easier on gamepad sticks, making gamepad movement more fluid. Executing a circle on a keyboard is cumbersome, for instance. Time to move a stick left is functionally the same as switching keys. Nor is Isaac a game that requires overly exacting twitch reflexes, if there is a demonstrable milliseconds difference between the two input devices. Most situations can be overcome with knowledge of room spawns and enemy movement/fire patterns, as well as proper resource usage.
