No. NO! NOO!
This is all Turfsters fault, he broke the balance of the world when he wasn't here for two days to post the dailys. I knew it, I knew it!

I partially agree, if only because the last time I came into the steam thread asking for advice on a deal I got no help at all because people were too busy doing fucking bad rats joke giveaways and crap, but its a pretty arbitrary line as to where "news" and discussion of news ends and sub-community begins with a digital platform that updates daily.
I do.. well I generally just leave it open and I have chrome set to reload the last page I was on so it's always there... I honestly don't get the subscribe thread thing.. I subcribed to the Doctor Who thread, but when I clicked it on it brought me to the last page in it, so I had to go and find out where I stopped reading it... 2confusing4me
well you can always ask again, m8...
also did you just diss bad fucking rats? no need to get nasty now
I probably wouldn't care as much if I didn't feel like someone's just condemned the Steam threads to a slow, lingering death. And for what? Did we really need to free up another slot on the front page for "People Who Don't Understand Hardware Arguing About Technical Specs Thread #422" or "My Console Manufacturer Can Beat Up Your Console Manufacturer (And You PC Guys Have Cooties So Don't Touch Me)" so urgently that we needed to be shipped off like this? 
You should click on the Neogaf logo of the thread on the left of it.
EDIT: JaseC destroying me.
If you're on Mobile GAF I think there's the option in your preferences to either take you to the last page of the thread or your last unread post when you click on the arrow in subscribed threads, the latter is much more useful.

Twice a year we get let out into general pop.
Might as well do some weights in the yard so that I can intimidate all the fish this Xmas.

If the next AAA game comes out, you can be sure you get 5 threads about it.
"The world in AC Unity is so great!"
"What I didnt like about AC Unity."
"Little secrets in AC Unity."
"Which was the best character in AC Unity."
"My love for gaming is back thanks to AC Unity."

Yep, understood, but even that in itself is arbitrary, and has to be a right nuisance to maintain for all concerned.
Perhaps OTs need a 'Games' section, where they can simply stay put together, and as I said, perhaps 'news' and (for want of a better term) 'community' threads like this one each have their own.
Bah, I dunno - it's a mess - I don't envy those making these calls, or those having to maintain whatever structure they're actively tweaking at the moment.

Threads that start with 'Guys...' as in 'Guys, I Think I Hate The Okama Gamesphere' are the worst.
Your fingers ain't broken so you can always ask again. Stuff get lost fast in Steam thread.
Sale threads will still go in Gaming proper because their primary function is to inform -- there's a big sale on, here are the details and here's what's discounted. Think of Steam's bigger sales as new releases and their threads as OTs.
"So can we all agree that...." threads are also way up there with the worst of them.

Which would actually be the most important one.
Btw. I tried to buy the game from Origin India yesterday, but after I gave out all my information it shows "The transaction could not be completed."
I wonder if I should use an Indian adress when I type in my CC-data, but I guess that would already be considered a fraud.

It really is, because you have some OTs (Halo games for example) where the game hasn't been touched since forever and its just a list of people talking about the last match they played and arranging a new match, whereas other games that are still regularly updated (like LoL or TF2 before they started winding it down) get shipped off to Community to die despite being games that are actively adding new content.
I assume there are OTs in Community for games that have never actually been released yet like DayZ standalone.
To be fair, if he asked a question and nobody responded, odds are that people saw it but didn't have an answer for him, so they didn't reply. I know that's my usual rule of thumb, because I doubt most people want to wade through a couple of pages of "Sorry mate, I've got no fucking idea" every time somebody posts a question here. >.>
why was it stickied in gaming tho #stickygate #thefirerises #ethicsinforummoderation #threatenwomen
pls disregard my final hashtag dunno how that got in there

Anything that opens with someone's opinion instead of say news, fact or even asking other people what they think 'ie What Are Your Top 5 Okama Gamesphere Games' are usually not destined for great things.
Except for hilarious bans when things get heated.

Yeah, its not my first post in a steam thread, and it also wasnt in the first 15 minutes of a major sale update cycle where things genuinely are too fast to keep up with.

There should be a new NV driver coming up very soon.
Yeah I thought about that too and you're right. Sometimes no one has an answer.
During sales, this thread move about 1 page per 30-45 mins or something. But yeah, if we stay in community. I doubt many new people will come here.
Luckily I don't mind talking to the same old folks day after day.

Thanks. That sounds nice.
I played 1+2 on the Ps2 and 3 on the 360, but the third game was a really clunky and technical mess.
Fuck, shouldn't have updated yesterday, 300 MB of download down the drain...
Could've used the bandwidth for some Steam games
I'd be glad if they offered significant improvements to the older cards as well instead of the 900's series only.

at least we don't have to worry about new members shitting this thread up anymore
Question is will Advanced Warfare be downloaded for me before or after they're up.
No but now were stuck with the same horrible lot (yes I'm including myself in that as well!) and when the shit goes down it might become an even smaller number of posters as others leave. Could be a nice social interaction experiment.
Just the regulars.
