Why are they selling their games on GMG, HB and other similar sites then?
Doesn't make any sense.

Interesting.
Steam limit raised to $1800 USD to counter lootmarket and other online sellers. Dota 2 items on top for now. I would assume CSGO and others will soon follow
Crazy items being listed

Good Guy Bethesda /S

Good. Time to sell some good stuff.
Kidding, I only ever had at best an item worth $300. Initially, it was $200. Then the price crashed, so I sold it for $60. Two years later, it was worth $300 again.

45 hours into TLR and I just realized you can cheese the bonus stats system. You just exit to the world map and re-enter the area over and over, and eventually you'll get the red text bubble (seems to take around 5 times each). Repeat until they become chummy with you and get the bonus stats.
I'm really getting the hang of the battle system now. It's really fun for a turn-based system. This game has so much potential, it's a shame the devs made some incomprehensibly stupid design choices that hold it back from being a classic.

It's real, and kinda sad at the same time. I included link in my post.

Never had any trouble running it. I found the game a bit boring initially and just put it back in my backlog. I guess now that DS3 is coming I will have to go back to it at some point. DS2 just feels overdesigned. Should have kept it simpler.

But turn-based systems are the best...
Though I kind of agree, TLR taking off as a classic would've been nice. It has some of the best battle presentation in the biz; I think only Persona 5 has dethroned it. Like, it's turn-based combat that absolutely does not look it, and that's great.

I just finished Lego City Undercover and it turned out to be a surprisingly charming game. Full of amusing pop culture references, parodies and with the kind of silly humor that makes you shake your head at first but then smile anyway. Just a really fun experience. There were quite a few instances where I was surprised with what they managed to pull off in the game. The open world is filled with tons of content and collectibles, which is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. I stuck with the main story for the most part and ended with less than 25% completion in just under 15 hours. So, 75% of the game is outside the critical path.
Bit of a shame how it kind of bombed on Steam. Maybe people are tired of Lego games but this was the first one that kept me interested enough to finish it. Worth checking out for sure.

This came up with the Scrolls debacle. Something about Bethesda having to enforce their trademark because if they don't it weakens them when people actually try to steal their stuff? Maybe that's just an excuse, but I doubt Bethesda or any large company would willingly sit through the bad PR that would come from suing smaller companies for ridiculous infringement reasons if there wasn't some truth to it. But then again, I know nothing about trademark law, so...

Action-RPGs like Dark Souls 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Dragon's Dogma are definitely my favorite, and I don't see that changing. But I'll admit this game has given me a more open mind about playing turn-based RPGs in the future. (I've played turn-based games in the past, but only on handheld/mobile.) Unfortunately I see the Persona series in Playstation exclusive, so I won't be able to play P5.
praey...? lmao wow
The Imperial Radch trilogy is in fact the best science fiction I read recently, thoroughly enjoyed that (I think it was late 2016). Any other suggestions?

Holy shit! I was under the impression that this was dead as, uh, dead stuff. Please let it come to Steam so it has a chance at a wider audience and a bigger playerbase.
I played the living hell out of it but the game was always super niche. I would see the same names and got to know the people I was playing against. What time of decks to expect (those erase ones, ugh, so fun to play but so not fun to play against.)
Things that stick out:
+ It's not a successor the way it was originally announced
+ It uses the original assets as much as possible, which were always really great looking
+ They have enough code to be able to change values, suggesting future balancing (the game was super balanced out of the gate, but there were maybe 1 or 2 skills that were too popular for their own good)
+ Coming out SOON
- They "aren't sure" if they'll be able to add maps in the future
- They talked about "accelerants" to unlock skills that could be picked up with real money... one of the main draws that kept you coming back to the game were the rare, hard as all hell to find skills, and the investment it took to get the skills to make the deck you wanted to make
- Continuing the above, there was a hardcore mode where you would play against people but "bet" your skills. So, if you lost and it randomly took that lynch-pin skill you needed for your deck to work to give to the winner, you were fucked. This could let you throw down coin for that
- Coming out "SOON"
And before I hop off of my fanboy soap box here, if you aren't at all interested in multiplayer, you should probably still play this game. The singleplayer experience is everything that you love about the Souls games: it's hard as nails, but always fair; the story is bleak, foreboding and withholding, filled to bursting with all that it just won't tell you; the cast is frequently strange but weirdly endearing, almost unsettlingly so.

SSR is legit but really hard. The difficulty is probably on par with Snake Bird. I grilled 8 sausages so far.

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.
Uh, I hope Bethesda remembers to add the missing data depots to Prey's pre-order store sub before the game unlocks here. It seems 11 are absent in total, so I'd guess that there's one for each of the 10 languages that the game supports and another for the executable (see: Dishonored 2, Skyrim SE, and so on), the latter of which is kind of important.
Edit: I've PM'd gstaff.

Sheesh, I convinced myself I didn't want the Star Wars bundle at $14, and now to know it was a price mistake makes me regret. I only wanted the Legos and the Unleashed(s), and Shadows of the Empire but that wasn't included anyway.
Yeah, I'm fine. Fine.

Sorry, but Asuka is a bitch. I think she's at the top of my list of anime characters I'd punch in the face.

Neither does Asuka. I'm usually ok with tsunderes, but she is a straight up bitch and I don't care what past she might've had, that's not a good enough reason to behave as she does.
I think you should advance from Baron Loathsome, to Duke von Loathsome, you've earned it.

Baron sounds cooler tho
I actually took a second picture to get her in the frame because I knew it would get a reaction out of someone
I don't even like Asuka, I won the figurine in a crane game when I was in Japan. I mean, you have to try crane games right?
Edit:
But let's get back to book suggestions. So far, everything that was suggested was something I absolutely loved, with the only problem being that I already read all of it.
