Steam download servers down?

I have two games in my update queue, Dominions 4 and Straiga, both seem to time out during downloading the update...

I've been having this issue for a few days now maybe even a week. I use Steam Limiter to limit downloads to a specific server as it doesn't count against my quota but I suspect my ISP or more likely the ISP that bought my ISP has closed it without telling anyone. Once I turn off the limiter it works.

Not really gaming related, but it's Steam related.
Here is a developer showing how to create Steam achievements and how code to unlock achievements in GameMaker Studio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc74zptCNFM

Looks like it's quite tedious to add new achievements. Now think about the devs who added over 1000 achievements in Tales of Maj'eyal and have to keep track in all of them, all of the names, when and where to unlock them and all that

That looks actually a lot easier than I imagined. Even I without coding knowledge found it very straightforward. Huh. Obviously it could be more work depending on the engine used probably.

How about the battle for a decent PC port?

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Is that tagline hinting at a morality system?

I'm sure it'll be great.

Hmm. I'd guess at MKX like stances/variations, that you gain based on...Uh. Whether or not you hit below the belt?

Expecting anything more of a port than the resolution on consoles is just cause for letdown.
Expecting anything more of a port than the framerate on consoles is justification for institution.

Am I doing it right?

Maybe they'll even give us the GGPO netcode if we buy the Injustice 2 season pass!

The game itself seems interesting enough after a few hours, and the presentation of the intro makes it feel like a slightly higher budget affair than Elminage Gothic. The 2D art is gorgeous.

The port performs really well and runs at 60 FPS, it also has good mouse controls and keyboard rebinding options. It's locked to 720p for its 3D rendering, which honestly isn't anything to write home about regardless of resolution...

however, the game roused my interest sufficiently that I fixed that.

Selfquote, but for everyone else having the same problem - changing the download region to Russia (of all things) fixes the issue.

Does it automap or can you add your own annotations, like in EO or MMX?

Man, you should stop doing this, you don't have any more room in your tag.

Wait where the fuck is Far Cry 5?

Shouldn't this winter be its date? Well maybe Ubisoft is holding it back so it won't feel like a retread of Far Cry 3 again.

I want to say the next rumored Far Cry is supposed to be Blood Dragon 2?

The Far Cry formula has permeated the rest of the Ubi games just as much as AC has, I can see them delaying it to get away from the new Ghost Recon which looked pretty Far Cryish the last time we saw it. I would expect one next year, not this one.

I've been playing too much of the Ded by Dedlite beta. It's fun in short bursts and I can see it's lighting up the Twitch charts. Curious to see how the whole game looks like before I put in the money for it.

Just wanted to pop in and say I've been playing through the Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone.

The wedding sequence was one of the greatest things I have ever experienced in a videogame.

CDProjekt Red consistently putting the ENTIRE INDUSTRY to shame with their storytelling.

80 days is addicting.


So far I..

..nearly frozen to death because I crashed at the North Pole
..was thrown out of a rocket headed for the moon
..solved a murder mystery on a ship
..went on a grim journey with slave traders
..was threatened by automatons
..made out with a guy dressed like Death
..was made to take opium and then abducted
..punched Jesse James in the face

All while I tried to travel the world with my master in 80 days or less, managing scarce luggage space and funds. It's a lot of fun trying out the different routes and discovering new plots.
Amazing Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type of game with a ton of replayability, if you enjoy reading. It's not overly challenging, but very charming.
