You *can* set it up that way, IIRC. Otherwise I dunno. never done it before.

Nope. Idling works too.
There's a JaseC guide that's better but I don't have it bookmarked.
Edit- wait never mind. Misunderstood, sorry. Posting when tired does that
But don't idle too many games as it's worthless. Gonna quote this from Steamgifts, better explanation than I can be bothered typing up.
Indeed! I've never played it online before, so it's pretty neat to try it out
Nice to hear that

Ok otherwise then you play at the same time. What can you do while the other players are taking their turn? Later in the game a turn could take 30 minutes.

You know, if there were only two entrants I'd still lose. Every time.Okay, scratch hyping up a game as a way of winning a modbot giveaway for said game
Also, only 35 entrants for Unrest? Boo!
Bah. Modbot refuses to like me even after all this time.
I'm free right now. So if you guys wanna jump in now, I can do it.

Okay, you're officially in the cool club.
Wanna say she has close to 200 hours in it and has a good number of the achievements
I liked Transistor, combat was super fun and pretty inventive. Although I must say I think Bastion was the superior game overall. Transistor felt extremely vague throughout, and I actually like the Bastion music a little bit better. Transistor is still a great game though and I recommend anyone try it at the sub $10 price point.
Time for you to play Divinity so we can change that GOTY opinion of yours =)

If you idle 5-7 games and restart them after every card drop I've experienced getting up to 7 cards at a time (this was just yesterday).
also, seriously no one interested in this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut2wbnY8saY#t=120

This feels like a depressingly accurate description of life at times
Getting a gf is easier than finishing Dark Souls.
Still have X-COM: Interceptor unclaimed. Somebody take it, pls:

Installed a bunch of cool Arma 3 weapon mods, a overwhelming amount of weapons in this game now, probably added 200+ guns easily.

I just close them all down and restart them all again. My invented theory is that steam servers log when you start and end game sessions and the card drop timer randomly resets when you restart games. Take plenty of salt with this though because i just made it all up, except it seems to work for me (if I get no drop in 20mins i restart them too).
Not from my experience, I actually manage to finish Souls games for one thing.

It'll be ok I promise.
I got bored halfway through AC while I loved AA from beginning to end. What are those improvements you mention? In my opinion the open city made the game worse, not better, as traversing it became a chore really fast, and the new gadgets didn't add much.
The combat system has quite a bit of depth too. My first play through, I paused constantly and used the planning mode. My second play through, I set up my abilities in such a way that I played purely in realtime.

Oh, didn't know Civ V has competitive MP. Just bought it today.
Gotta learn to play, then I'd happily beat yo moma

Nooo!
It's not really uncanny, especially depending on when you got it. There was at least a year or so of what seemed to be really bad batches all around if I'm not mistaken.

This is why I have 4 hard drives, not counting hard drives on other devices, and multiple redundant backups.
Just, like, in case.
I played some TowerFall on PS4. One of the best multiplayer games I've played in a long time, or maybe not, because I also played some SpeedRunners which is also excellent. SpeedRunners is like a side viewed Micro Machines.
I saw that TowerFall is also for PC. Too bad there's no online multiplayer.

I have no local friends to play it with so all of the talk about it I'm missing out on. Not putting online in a MP focused fame these days is just odd.
Even gun monkeys is online.
NOOOO! ModBot took all our keys and ran!
Seriously now, sorry to hear that. Hope you had backups of all your important stuff.
Well, Valve has an entry just for a Half-Life 2 level, so why couldn't they?

RE: "That's why you do backups"
I have an extensive backup setup; I was a sysadmin for a long time. Nothing I can ever lose can't be replaced. This was a media drive--my backup copies are the original optimal discs. It doesn't make sense to invest in significant backup storage for files that are themselves lossy backups of originals. In fact, my panic response was more "Oh crap, I don't know if I made a backup of the file listing on that drive to know what I need to re-rip when I get a replacement drive"; thankfully, I was able to go to one of my remote media boxes, go into XBMC's SQLite database, and dump the file list from that.
RE: "How old was it"
A few years old; not in the 3-5+ year death trap period, not in the out-of-the-factory lemon period. During a period of time where drives don't typically fail. It was the newest drive in my machine, but not new. I know all about hard drive failures
RE: "How is that uncanny, for example did you know Alanis Morrisette's song 'ironic' is not really ironic? That's pretty ironic."
It's uncanny because it happened with no warning less than a week before I'm moving internationally, at pretty much the only time I wouldn't be able to take the time to go out, get a replacement drive, and re-rip the data. Half of what was on the drive is packed in moving boxes, and the other half is in my father-in-law's house in storage. That's what was uncanny, I was just remarking to myself that I would not have expected for it to happen this way.

I'm talking about combat being more involved with more enemy types throughout the game, sneaking/predator gameplay having more options and not all taking place in-doors, new & useful gadgets that are useable during combat/predator gameplay, some decent boss battles, a legitimately great boss battle in Mr. Freeze, the grapnel boost/gliding existing compared to them not existing in AA, more than two (optional) side missions that extend beyond collect-a-thons, Riddler content that (while including too many collectibles) involves actual puzzles when getting trophies, hostage deathtrap rooms that give the Riddler content more substance and an end sequence that wasn't a completely disappointing anticlimax buzzkill.
Much of the stuff above that people might not enjoy (Riddler content, other side missions, using gadgets during combat/predator gameplay, Catwoman stuff [at least in the non-complete versions]) is also optional.
If traversing the overworld was a chore, what was it like playing AA where backtracking involved running through hallways all the way across the island? It's an odd criticism when stacking the games up next to one another since running through segmented sections of the AA was boring once you passed through an area already. enemies don't respawn in AA so there's literally nothing available to the player beyond running for large swaths of time. If getting around the (more) open world bores you more than running around AA, it's just a straight shot from one objective to the next.
Despite Valve having locked my account out just shortly after the Summer Sale ended and having done nothing in regards to it beyond the initial automated message stating what has occurred and why, I just got an email from asking me if I was satisfied with their support in resolving my problem.
Why would they do this to me?
