Hmm 25 bucks in my Steam account but, I want to finish some stuff up more.
Question. How much more mileage do you think I can still get out of my i5 3570K, R9 270 and 8 GB (which might go up to 16 soon anyway) of RAM? I am not afraid of turning stuff down or even lowering the resolution, more concerned about performance.
I mean depending on what job I have come this time next year I might upgrade or something anyway but, I am just curious.

You graphics card will likely become the first "bottleneck" and thus be the best bang-for-buck item to upgrade.

I was under the assumption that even if an update is scheduled by Steam to start after say 1 hour, you could just go to the download list and press the Up arrow on any game you want to have updated.
I know how to force an update to happen.
What I want is not to have to wake up, log on to my computer, and discover that the game I want requires a few hundred megabyte patch.

Indeed. Right now it's only my graphics card which is holding me back.

Why not overclock it?

Yeah, I realize that the GPU is the thing I would more than likely have to replace first. Just wondering how long I can last on it.
I can but, that won't help much if there is any game that I want to play that ask 4GB of VRAM for even Medium or High. I should be fine though for awhile I think. Still the 2GB card I have is starting to kinda make me worry.

HELLDIVERS coming to Steam has got me playing Klendathu Drop on repeat and quoting lines from Starship Troopers.
Just training for when I'm actually playing HELLDIVERS, and my group of friends will be communicating solely through Starship Troopers quotes while listening to the soundtrack.

*shakes fist at the demographic i was a major part of but instead only wanted to play jrpgs*
Doesn't give a +1, for any wondering about such things.

Cool of them to do this but correct me if I am wrong, we cannot download it, right? I remember this option was available on soundcloud a while ago.

I bought Helldivers when it came out and literally never launched it. Hopefully I at least manage to start it this time around.

For some reason it was already in my library
I don't see a link to download the whole thing at once, which sucks, but you can download each individual track.
I guess it's better than nothing.
There should be download soundtrack button on first link I think. Or you can download tracks separately.

I must be blind because I do not see the download button. I need to be signed in, maybe? Thanks for the answer Parsnip.
Thanks for the answer too dex.

Did Durante fix the resolution lock?
Just the basegame.
GeDoSaTo, yeah.

What monitor do you have? I have to actually flip mines if I want to play TATED.
Aww.
How good is the Steam Workshop stuff for Beseige? Is it Broforce levels of output or is it kinda low key.

Was wondering what my dog was doing in his off-time.

What do you guys figure the price will be?
Just move your mouse over any of the tracks and the rightmost icon is the download link.
Looks like they are lossless aiff files.

Ah, I must have been blind, thanks! I'm able to download now.
It's the way to go If they want to ensure that nobody actually buy it.
But do you get to keep it or are you only renting it for a year.

Neither, you just get the gratification of giving your money to sony and prompt them to port more games.

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.
So I know that most of you know this already, but tomorrow morning I'm going to be live-streaming great Steam games for 24 hours straight on Twitch - and it's all for charity.
Even if you're not donating, hopefully you all get a chance to stop by and say "hi" at some point. I've got some pretty awesome games lined up (Ethan Carter, D4, Shower With Your Dad Simulator, etc) as well as a great lineup of games being raffled to those who donate, courtesy of IsThereAnyDeal.com (Rocket League, Tales of Zestiria, Pillars of Eternity, etc).
I'm really looking forward to it! I was going to add a thread on gaming side about it, but there's already one there for Extra Life with someone else and was worried about sounding spammy

You can get the Definite Edition of Darkstarkers 2 for around 11 dollars on Nuuvem if you'd like.
And Mega Man Legacy Collection for 7

PS4-related, I started up Infamous Second Son and played it for an hour or two.
Yep, it plays like Infamous. Not a fan of using the touchpad as a button though, especially in the heat of combat. I have the game locked to 30fps, but I swear I'm getting lag/fps drops. Or maybe it's just the scenery loading.
Well we will see soon if they were lying or not. But from few other screens and impressions game doesn't look good, has bugs and glitches...
