PC Upscaling I love you.

that looks awfully stretched
 
Does Steam default to top sellers now instead of new releases on the front page?

Yes, it does, I have noticed for some days Steam client has been showing top sellers in the default tab - indeed it looked to me a bit odd but I thought it was only due to my faulty memory -, just now that you come to mention it I realise it used to show new releases.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just an analytics based decision. Before the switch I always automatically switched to the top sellers tab out of habit.

Or maybe they want to give more exposure to their top sellers as they have evidence this way they sell more copies perhaps?

Top sellers besides most anticipated new releases often include also special deals - right now in the top 10 there are "Hotline Miami" and "Sins of a Solar empire" - so that's a way to highlight the most wanted stuff.

People like you wreck CSGO MM.

I've been suffering from Myelitis (which causes numbness in my fingers and a mild spastic in my left hand) for the past 6 months and now I'm finally where I can sort of make WASD work again. Playing on my regular account is just frustrating, this on the other hand is nicely relaxing.

Not sure if it's more embarrassing that you smurf hardcore against silvers or that they killed you 7 times as a LEM.

Relax. This is the first match on this account and it's not even ranked yet. The match-ups will even out shortly.

Play casual then instead of wrecking others experiences.

It just seems redundant if it was designed that way since on a 1920x1080 display, the point at which you're scrolled down that far, you've already passed an entire screen's worth of selling space they already have explicit control over. It's just as easy to assume if the switch went the other way that their reasoning would be to drive attention to new games because people already know about top sellers.

Thanks, Lomax, I just searched and wishlisted it as well. It looks great, mixing several ideas into one single puzzle concept; judging by the trailer (and the fact that 44 people of my friend list already own the game o.o ) it surely is a must have.

It's been very heavily bundled, I'd imagine a lot of people here have a key laying around, in fact I'm surprised I don't. I'm sure at very least you could pick it up super cheap from a trader.

Dude, just roll into the elementary school soccer game at lunch and score 10 goals. You could be a hero too.

If those kids have the ability to consistently hit the ball and shoot it approximately where they want to I'll get destroyed. I'm not even joking, I was the dude that no one wanted on their team.

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.

Yeah, indeed it feels redundant to me, especially since most of top sellers often show up in the top banner as well - at the moment Watch_dogs, Wolfenstein, The forest, Stomping land - that's why I would tend to think they prefer to bank on their best sellers giving them further prominence.
 
thanks for Ravaged, missed it everytime back in the day

Why do you win everything I want. :p

Hey GAF! Everything's gone to shit and I'm poor as fuck! Facilitate my delirum-induced purge of all material possessions by winning some Steam keys, huh?

Nice giveaway. I think I took Radical Roaches. Thanks!

I played exclusively with the controller, and I totally agree that it never once felt like an impediment. My brain, though, never stops feeling like one.

I know the feeling all too well.

thanks vermadas for Runner 2!

this game needs more love:

Amazing giveaway. Sad I missed it as I'd love a chance to play it.
