So is Ultra Street Fighter IV suppose to be a new sub or one that replaces AE?

It seems like Valve is allowing people to Remove recently added free titles through the Account Details page.

Its so nice to be back in America. Now I just need Internet for my steam.

Welcome back!


That was pretty great. I don't know if I'd like to see it turned into a show, though.

is this like a thing on the steam thread now? lying about how you're laughing?

Authority's apparently been banned, so that quote is his mark on Gaf. That and booty gifs.

Very nice to know that you're home safe and sound, Jawmuncher, much to the joy of family and friends, I'm sure. Just in time for the sale, too - well played, Sir.

It was always a bit surreal reading your posts from abroad, mindful of where they were being sent from.

I see that Knightmare Tower is out on Steam. With Towerfall, Freedom Fall, KT on Steam, Human Element cancelled, Polarity on Greenlight, Hidden in Plain Sight and CLARC greenlit... Ouya really has basically nothing left. They've got Soul Fjord, I guess, by Airtight Games? That's pretty much it. Wow.

For what? I had no idea what he was going on about most of the time but I thought he was harmless.

Checking the record it appears to be for posting magazine scans in the Final Fantasy Explorers thread, which also explains why you don't see it in his post history, since it was deleted.

Hey Stumpokapow,

I was wondering if you would be open to adding a 1 or half an hour raffle to modbot? 15 minutes is a bit too short, especially if modbot messes up the steam images for the games, and you want to correct them prior to posting; and the next choice at 3 hours is a bit too much for short giveaways.

"Thank you for believing". Rather sad, really.

Anyone who got an Ouya for its "exclusives" is doing it wrong. I have one and love it, but let's call a spade a spade...it's a fun emulation box, with the ability to sideload apps (I mean legal stuff in my own case) and there's also stuff like XMBC (which I don't use, but that's important to a lot of people). With that being said, I was happy to see Jumpman Returns on it. That debuted on the Ouya and isn't on any other platform yet (but it will be). Since Ouya sent me a $5 credit a while ago, I happily used it on that.

Yeah I'm not super happy with the timing options myself. I'm wondering whether or not it makes more sense to move to: 15 minutes, 90 minutes, 3 hours, 12 hours rather than instant, 15 minutes, 3 hours, 24 hours. I dunno. A lot of these sort of... administrative decisions are stuff I don't really like doing. It's really demotivating as a programmer having to make those decisions instead of working on fun stuff. Thanks for the feedback, like I said I'm kicking that stuff around myself.

As someone who have been playing a bit of Game Dev Tycoon, I think this post opened my eyes when it comes to decisions in that game. Seriously.
I'm going to give someone a long vacation in my game company.

On a side note:
It would be interesting to create another layer of Super/Mega Giver Rule. Something like 40, 50 Games or similar. It would also be interesting to create some sort of rule like the Blacklist but in the other way around. Instead of adding some people to Block, create an option only for certain members to be able to win (Whitelist?). This could be useful if someone wanted to create a Giveaway for the most common Steam-GAFfers/posters in the Steam thread. Might be a silly idea, just wanted to share.

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.
Today I learned that you can install Steam games directly to your logged in client without any sort of confirmation dialog by sending some XHR data to Valve's servers. Interesting.

EDIT: wow you can do all kinds of stuff, even uninstall remotely.

It's getting hotter, as we have officially launched La Tale on Steam! <3 To make it even STEAMIER, we have cool packages, and a chance to win Toam + Lv. 20 Pet Coupon Box! PLUS, a Guild Event + Love Event are in SESSION! HOT HOT HOT!

At least it's f2p and has cards.

For the less technically inclined among us, is any of that a security hazard? Sorry, just worried after the whole issue brought up by those Euro Truck guys (thankfully now patched)

I am in tears

I think about that every time someone says "I SPIT [drink] ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD" or "RUINED MY MONITOR WITH [drink]".

The internet spit take is never real.

You're not being honest.

Stop lying.

Guys, my next phone is going to have a significantly higher resolution than my monitor.

That is just silly.

Yeah I've got a similar thing for now. 1366x768 lappy vs 1920x1080 phone. It's weird. The performance of YouTube vids on my phone is far superior tom my laptop...
 
For what? I had no idea what he was going on about most of the time but I thought he was harmless.



The second I keep checking.... thx

All I know is I got tired of his RSS newsfeed style of posting relatively quick and he was added to my ignore list. Not because of what he posted, but just that most of it was copy and pasting news articles from other sites.

I like those ideas.
More options don't necessarily hurt, unless the logic is something that breaks modbot. :p

What phone?
