Probably not. You'll most likely have to patch it in like HigurashiAre they redoing the art for the Steam release? I prefer the PS3 ones
Humble store has a lot of narrative focused games/interactive fiction on sale atm and they are at their lowest prices ever.
Sunset
0,99
Her Story
2,99
Sorcery! Parts 1 and 2
3,39
Sorcery! Part 3
3,39
Total: 10,76
I think I'll pick these up.
Also the banner saga is 4,99 over there.

Well, let's see how it turns out. I guess there will eventually be a mod to change the sprites in case I don't like it.

Just like the Higurashi release, they redid the art for the Steam release. You can see shots on the Steam page.
Even if they did, they'd overprice it to kingdom come.
This morning i've had six women in bikinis adding me on Twitter.
Hmm
what is going on....
Are you wearing Lynx (Axe)?

Too risky for them. Steam users still don't trust them.
They need to clear their name first, make a good PC port.
Uncharted 4 was okay.

Oh, gosh, it's worse than I thought. What happened to you, Rudolf?
I'm totally downloading a patch to change the sprites and the backgrounds to the PS3 version.
EDIT: Holy fuck, I just saw Eva. Why is this artist making the adults look like they are dying corpses?

Between 10-15 hours each.

So about the same then, wonder why they decided to put all the episodes together unlike HigurashI?
That's going to take me like a month to finish O_O
Any word on how many total episodes there are for Umineko?
They didn't need to retranslate this game, instead they just used fan translation.
Both Umineko and Umineko Chiru took me roughly 60 hours to complete each.
Dude, spoilers!

There was a Golden Wake giveaway and I missed it?
Ah well. I sure hope you play it, Ozium.
My mother used to work for Unilever and would get Axe on the cheap - like 50 cents a can. She'd just hand me the stuff. I'll just say that I have several different colognes, but Axe was the only one where women would compliment me on my smell. It wasn't like the commercials show, obviously, but...women noticed it. It was surprising.
And no, I'm not endorsing it or anything, they're not paying me. Just saying.

wow he just straight up made Ash Lake in 2d.
he straight up made a lot of things in 2d
This one https://userstyles.org/styles/89441/neogaf-dark-blue-v2-2 for example, has this feature.
You have to enter your username on that page before installing the theme.
Can also change the quote box color to your liking.
He is fabricating a custom case. He'll be sending me renders to choose from within the next month or so. The case will be a slim ATX... it'll be big, but thin. All the water cooling will be internal.
To be fair, we always get fucked in Europe due to VAT and customs and whatever.
970 is still 340 here, while it's on sale for as low as $289 on Newegg.
Just because it always happens doesn't make it any less of a bummer. :\
This is awesome, hopefully you post here when it's finished.
How big of a radiator are you using? What fans?
Edit:meant to combine these

The 970 had sales since the announcement here in Germany for about 220-240.
But actually it was pretty clear the 1080 wont be 700 here in Europe.

After putting in about 7 hours, I think I'm qualified to post impressions of another game I won here in a raffle (thanks again!) that being Doodle God.
The story: You play the role of the Doodle God, who starts with four elements and forms the world through their combinations. Then after a while, you decide to separate things into "science" and "magic," (have you played The Longest Journey or Arcanum? Read the Sword of Truth books? Okay, then you know the deal.) That's as far as the story goes, but...this game isn't really about a story per se.
The gameplay: The main game involves combining elements by clicking two or dragging one onto the other - the standard interface does this by grouping the elements and having you open up groups on two sides of a book. This is fun and interesting - and in some ways logical - for a while. As you get further along, the combinations get much more esoteric and downright illogical (like, you somehow invent the computer and the internet before the typewriter, or the steamship somehow came before the wheel.) You're left with brute forcing it - you know in point-and-click adventures, sometimes you just try combining everything in your inventory? Okay, now imagine you have over 200 inventory items, and you've got the endgame of Doodle God - or using slowly-regenerating hints. Or, of course, using a guide, which has been around for years since this game was originally a free game on flash sites, then became a mobile game with microtransactions. The Steam version also had microtransactions at one point but wisely backed off. The main game is okay, but it's probably 50 elements too long.
There are other modes like "Puzzle" which are somewhat more fun than the main game because they dilute the number of elements available, and make it more about logic than brute force. You play Santa and create gifts for various people, you play a party of adventurers trying to kill a dragon and save a princess, or a guy trying to get off a deserted island, that sort of thing. I'm currently on a puzzle where you have to "create the top ten inventions of each decade of the 20th century" and I'm just thinking how that's gonna be way too many guesses again. So there are hits and misses.
The graphics: Did I mention it was originally free on flash sites and a mobile game? So expect that level.
The sound: Pretty repetitive. There are a few congratulatory voices when you find a new element - "Gracious me!" "Inspirational!" "Spectacular" etc. - and some more condescending ones when you combine to find an element you already have - "Cool." "Wow."
The length: Depends on how fast you think, whether you use hints, and whether you just rapidly brute-force. Could be 3 hours for the main game, could be 10. There's an achievement for playing the game without hints, and even though I strive for achievements...lol no way on this one. You could call it "Waiting for Hints: the Game" and you wouldn't be far off the mark.
The verdict: This won't be a game for everyone. It starts off like a fun puzzly game and then gets too wrapped up in itself. On the whole, is it more fun than not? Yes. If you're thinking about it, I'd recommend finding it on Kongregate or wherever and giving the free version a go. If you want more after that, then this game is for you.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I really like it, though it wasn't as good for games as I hoped, the resolution is a pain to get games running smoothly and that makes also input lag be quite severe.
Edit: Did they just change the fonts on Steam? Not sure if I just hadn't noticed but it does look different.

Awesome to see everyones places! So here's mine.
Old wood, 21:9, French Press. This is my favorite. I had an old huge typewriter desk with a slate top back in the day. It had so much character.
Homefront: The Revolution Performance Boosts Coming
Why would they want to change performance? The game runs at more than 25 fps most of the time, even on a potato-level hardware. 25 fps is perfectly okay for FPS games.

Thanks! Glad you appreciate it.
I really like the desk, I was lucky to find it in a second hand store for a measly 40 euros. Will be a pain to bring it with me where ever I move though, it heavy as hell. I had no idea what typewriter desks were, after some googling yeah they seem quite nice!I agree! I'm having such a blast, I've even had moments where I felt absolute joy, when the music is just right and one feels like badass.
