Valve's method of implementing local currency support could be better. Instead of a sub being removed should a publisher not update pricing, it should just auto-convert to a 1:1 price based on the exchange rate of the time. E.g. In the case of BG&E, USD$9.99 -> CLP$6,752. Converting to a price based on Steam's recommended conversion rates would be ideal, but that's probably expecting too much as some publishers would undoubtedly complain that titles they ignored converted to too low a price without their knowledge/say-so.

They should have done that and add the chilean currency when the US dolar was CLP$460 instead of almost CLP$700
unless the last ones were a failure for valve (which they didn't seem to be by steamspy data), you will never see dailies again.

Shame. I feel like dailies were a good way for more exposure to smaller and more niche titles.

Ah, right, I remember someone saying that removing dailies had proven to be a successful move. That's a shame, they were a sort exciting and fun surprise each time.

While it probably did make for better exposure for some indies I think removing dailies is still a positive for them. Indie games are usually the games that most people wait for sales for(at least from my experience), with no dailies people will never have to question whether an indie title will go for lower at another time during the sale. This leads to more people outright buying the indie title instead of waiting for a daily and/or forgetting about it during the sale.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Well, they're still doing the cards so at the very least we can expect to be forced to go through our discovery queues again.
You guys like survival games and F2P titles, right?
Huh. I wonder if I'll actually be able to sell the cards with the no-phone trade hold I have. Maybe that's why the sale is going to be slightly longer this year? Won't matter for anything got at the end though, I guess.

Does GOG have it in Chile? They have it and their summer sale is on right now. Ubisoft usually puts its stuff on sale sale so it'll probably be on sale soon. Right now it's the PoP bundle tho.
saw the warcraft movie thing
i laughed my butt off
i totally concede i'm pretty bad at overwatch but i'm kind of weirded out at being singled out cos i don't think i do that awful and also haven't played with grief at all?
idk what's going on or why ppl were talking about me -___-

many thanks, haven't played many space sim games before so i'm curious how i'm gonna feel about it
I think I hid behind a counter during the chase. It was easy, the cops never came into the store.
They lose me within seconds. I tried hiding in a gas station. I blocked the entrance to Marty's place and tried to keep them searching.
Guess armoured truck chase is the way to go?

I miss the thrill of the dailies but looking at my ever growing wishlist and how many games get released I don't think the old system works anymore, even if I personally would curate the sale, exclude all anime, general trash and Alan Wake it would be impossible to get through everything. Maybe what GOG now does where once a daily it stays at that price with more frequent updates like every six hours?
The current Paperwhite is excellent. Still can't motivate myself to read more but when I do it's great.

Will keep an eye on GOG then, thanks.
I started playing Demonicon. The screens posted in the past made it look as if the incest was coming from the brother, but it's the sister who goes and tongues Cairon out of the blue. It surprised me.
Another thing that surprised me is the game's performance. With everything maxed I was dropping from 100ish to 40fps while moving the camera around in the first city hub. Considering how little details there are and how graphically the game isn't anything to write home about, I expected the game hold 60+ fps like nothing on an i5 2500k+970.
The game is also res locked, not going higher than 1080p even though I have DSR activated.
Gameplay wise, the fighting feels sluggish and janky, the UI leaves a lot to be desired, the character models are kind of ugly and damn them for the fonts for the subtitles! No backdrop shade either to make those subs easier to read.
So, basically, the only interesting thing in all this seems to be the incest angle.
Since I bought the Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY from the Origin sale to get the DLC for my copy of the game, maybe I should go play that one instead.

Great. Loved Dishonoured. Like a thief game that should have been rather than what we ended up with, but with cool powers and stuff. Need to replay it in a non stealth way soon
I guess that's what Anime does to you.

That would have been me this year, but I got some Steam wallet gifts and I figure I should use 'em.
When hiding behind the counter you should also try to kill a cop so the wanted thing doesn't go away
Yea I was popping in and out.
Armoured truck worked far better. Loaded Chapter 7 and right at the intersection was one. Got in ran over a few police. Killed some more with it and a couple hid by their car and took pot shots at me. Got it ten minutes later afking there lol.

Okay I'll take a l...30 bucks AFTER discount?! How about Sakura...20 bucks?
...Looking at those games just makes me wonder if I shouldn't give Legend of Grimrock another try.
Sakura Dungeon has naked girls in it, does Stranger? Probably not.
