Giggle.
It's in Settings - Ease of Access Center. Turn Sticky Keys off permanently if you aren't using them.
This is all Arthea's fault.
Not only are the robots fighting back, they're making me hungry
A Focus game with a bigger budget seems quite odd to me. But hey they know their market very well.

What does he mean 'later seen', Last of Us released long before the PT demo didn't it?

They probably had concepts for quite awhile though.
sure, blame poor discriminated robots that don't even eat! unless you find electricity appetizing.
Understandably so. Its already his second failure of making a horrorgame, both times not beeing his fault.
Konami making people upset? what else is new?
I am upset too. Del Toro, Kojima and Ito? And they cancel that? I can't handle horror, but I can't handle this travesty even less.
Sillent Hills would have been riddled with microtransactions anyway. 100 SH Points for a battery for your flashlight, 2000 SH Points to make the door open quicker, 5000 SH Points to have Pyramid Head in a sexy bikini costume.
I'm pretty sure by saying 'it's all Arthea's fault' I blamed you

Or maybe DelToro is wrong, thinking The Last of Us only got a PS4 version while it was released earlier on PS3.

Whatever rises from PT's ashes will be a bajillion times better than whatever the original could of hoped to be with the Silent Hill albatross around it's neck and Konami sticking their greedy hands in your pocket.

Yo Steam gets Picross today. It is a good day for all.
Looks like they forgot to cut and paste the game name into several instances of "IP". Oops,
IP sounds like some in game currency actually.

That's because it is. LoL uses it, Influence Points.

On the front page of Steamdb there's a "fun fact" regarding the total sum one'd have to pay in order to get all items sold on Steam. Right now, it's reading $78k. That's quite an interesting number.
Some napkin math, no idea how accurate, comments welcome:
1. I am not interested in apps, just games. That said, most of Steam is probably games (have no idea, that's a gut feeling). Let's say, apps are $8k. $70k left.
2. Let's say I forfeit being able to play games while they are new and commit to only buying games which are at least a year old. That removes the most expensive year. I'd roughly estimate that to be around $20k. $50k left.
3. Let's say I want to keep up with Steam in that I am after each and every game except those issued less than a year ago. Every year I only have to buy games issued between (today - 2 years) and (today - 1 year). Going from $50k in the previous step, this looks like something around $10k a year.
Sum total, if I were to keep up with Steam, just buying everything after waiting a year, this would cost around $1k a month. Divide by 2-3 for places like South America or Russia. I am a bit surprised in that the number does not look all that big. The obvious elephant in the room is that Steam will likely grow and this number can easily skyrocket. But right now, it doesn't look scary. And if you filter out obvious BS, perhaps you can further divide it by a factor of 3-4... (having everything worthy for $1000 / 3 for region / 3 for not buying BS = $100 a month? doesn't sound half-bad).
JaseC / other people with huge collections, are the computations above about right or did I miss something important?

I know! total lack of enthusiasm of steamgaf can only be explained by not playing it before
Haha, I see. The note sounded like a generic lawyer notice where they replace the variables with whatever their name is called. Which maybe it still is, I dunno.
Ooooooh! Thats what "Paint it back" is. HUGE FAN of Picross, went to preorder it but not possible.XD
I still believe.
I'm kinda not qualified, as I never was able to keep up with steam, nor I was trying, but only buying all games I want I used to spend above 100€ a month on games (most discounted heavily too), until I was pointed out repeatedly how ridiculous it is, as I never was able to play all those games by the time I bought new. So I toned down somehwat, but! I'm pretty sure Jasec used to spend more than that monthly and he just recently caught up with steam by starting collecting in 2012? or was it 2013? He'll correct that. So what I was trying to say, sales is the answer, 1K number is probably correct if you don't wait for discount, but if you do, it's probably closer to 200-300 a month.
you know how that will end, don't you?
every single time
What if you lift the skirt and there's just an extra eye there staring into your very soul?

Not going to feign excitement for another genre I don't like. Well, maybe I will if you ask nicely, but you'll probably get a post seething with sarcasm.

Yes, there's obviously a huge upfront expense (or long ramp up time during which you are spending more) to catch up with everything Steam already has, but once you are there...
And, like you say, if we try to buy *every* game with a discount - opposite to the Steamdb figure which is just a snapshot, ie, some games are discounted, but most aren't / the discounts aren't big - it's even less.
I hear the point on never being able to play all these games, though. It's true.
wait, you don't like puzzle games at all, no kind? Even puzzles in non puzzle games that have them?Not going to feign excitement for another genre I don't like. Well, maybe I will if you ask nicely, but you'll probably get a post seething with sarcasm.
no worries, it's fine, you don't have to like everything, I don't like permadeth for example, not anymore anyway.
nonograms are really fun tho and not obtuse, pure logic.

No, I just don't like picross. I would consider it it's own genre of sorts. Could be a sub-genre, depending on how you look at it.
To further agitate you this morning, since I'm grumpy at being awake long before my normal timeframe, I will add that this applies to "minesweeper"-esque games as well, which is why I haven't really given the hexcell games a go despite all the raving about them in here.
Puzzles are fine... so long as they're not ridiculously obtuse. :3

Arthea what the hell is that avatar and why is it not a waifu?
I didn't start collecting until the end of the Summer Sale of 2012, but I use the term loosely since I didn't have much money to spare at the time. These days I spend about $100-$150 per week. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but generally somewhere around that ballpark.

Understandable. That would be far too easy to use and would mean they could never make more money off of a sequel.
glad you asked, it's Ring Nebula and you can consider Nebulae my waifus if you want.
here is a good res pic
yeah, but you don't wait for deeper discounts anymore, I think you used to before, or I'm misremembering things.
aww
maybe later they'll change their mind
That's true to a degree, but I've pretty much run out of cheap games to buy on a whim, and now that I've hit 6k there's not much of a desire there to buy cheap games just because they're cheap.
Absolutely stunning.

It must be pretty rough when you've hit such a high number because essentially your next milestone is 7k and that's a long ways away. So I imagine just buying games that add +1 or +10 are difficult to care about.
I'm only around 1k and I'm only ever considering the next 100 games to be a milestone as far as a collection goes.
Your waifu is comprised of ejected gas and debris remains?
Thanks for that, this seems to line up with my napkin math up the thread, give or take. Great.
We all are that way on the atomic level. Just particles.
