Guys this isn't Steam related but I just successfully moved an old physical machine with some really outdated hardware license methods to a virtual instance successfully.

It only controlled our entrance but has been running on the same machine since 2003. It was a timebomb waiting to go off.

But now it sits virtualized. It will live forever.

Migration of a system into a virtual machine sounds really dope. Cool you got it working out!

You have a 760 right? Sure does pack a whole lot more punch than I thought. Looks bullshotty!

You could try jim2point0's free cam fix. I took this using that before there were options for film grain or CA:

I imagine it has more freedom, but it's just not as intuitive.

That is a sweet-ass shot and a sweet-ass mod.

If your categories were nuked, just wait a while and they'll re-sync and fix themselves. Even if they're all gone, in about ten minutes or so they should automagically reappear. I think it has to due with a local file getting messed up for whatever reason, not 100% sure though.

As an aside, does Steam actually transfer categories to new computers?
Click to expand...

Thanks! I will wait and see, I guess.

Regarding the question, yeah I think it does. (doing steam osx mac mini for easier stuff + steam windows desktop for demanding games)

Unless the file that specifies the categories is stored in the steamapps folder, they do transfer. When I last formatted and reinstalled Windows, I nuked everything but the steamapps folder and my categories were still there when I finally reinstalled Steam.

Anyone else who has had their Steam categories messed up? I (wrongly) suspected that this had happened when I got the Valve family and friends pack for the botched Steam controller osx release, but now it has happened for real. A quite large number of the games that I had given a category are now in in the uncategorized pool. This has happened across several of my categories, which are still there.

Should I start worrying that someone has access to my account? Please tell me that someone else is affected by this? The last time I started my desktop computer was monday or thuesday, I believe.

These are some the games in question: (only including installed games, because I am pretty sure most/all of those were categorized)
Click to expand...

It happens sometimes, just exit steam and launch again. It will eventually fix itself,just something that happens here and there.

Damn, kinda regret not picking up ETS2 during a bundle or when it was super cheap on sale. I want a really relaxing podcast game.

Really cool project. Good luck with all.
Why didn't you go for a controller with two shoulder buttons and maybe even dual sticks? That way you could play PS1 games too!
Click to expand...

Honestly I am still unsure about this project so tried to keep it simple, it's not impossible but it's not a walk in the park and with my limited knowledge I'll probably fuck it up :) Maybe shoving the PCB of the PS1 controller into the device and re-wiring might work I guess....

Last night I picked up:

1.) Hitman Collection (all 5 games, including all the DLC for Absolution)
2.) STALKER: Clear Sky
3.) Divinity Anthology (the Divine Divinity games, sans Original Sin)

All for a grand spanking total of $17.47.

I mean, this is all pretty fucking criminally insane right here, especially for me since I'm still just rocking a 2GB GTX 960.

Wtf am I going to do if/when I peep some Black Friday deals on video cards though? Yo, I don't know, but at least I know which forum's members I'd try selling the 960 to!

I just crafted badges to get to level 20, while gazing at my lovely profile, I noticed in the corner...

I'm in support of Grief.exe. I'm 11 years on Steam, almost 900 games and still level 27 or 28 I can't be arsed checking.

As far as I know the only way to get I higher level is card playing and sales / random steam badges. The card playing part is barely worth my time and money, and I'm too lazy to use idlemaster on this piece of ass laptop

If you poke them too much about CDN prices they'll just raise everything to $80. EA's always ahead of the curve when it comes to ripping off consumers.

Well I ended up buying the full RE Revelations 2 bundle from Funstock. It was only 2 pounds more than the normal pack and it doesn't look like Capcom is a fan of putting DLC on sale at a later time. Came to £9.5 which is about $14 so that's not too bad. The key itself didn't activate until I used a UK VPN connection.

unrelated, however:

nearly $165 for this shit

Every once in a while my mind wanders towards buying a Vita and then this bullshit pulls me back to reality. In fact, I was pretty close to getting a Vita just weeks ago when the prospect of getting a PS4 (after it's recent discounts) started sounding more appealing.

Since this seems like a slow day here, I figure might as well poll you guys. What would you buy between a Vita and PS4 right now (if you didn't have either)?

Reminds me that John Wayne Gacy was on AHS this week, your avatar needs more blue.

Who's playing games tomorrow instead of partying or taking kids for trick or treating? Wife and I are giving candy out until 8:00 then seeing Crimson Peak at 10:35, mostly because the Halloween party we were going to got canceled due to medical issues.

PS4. Vita means life, but that doesn't mean shit if the creator doesn't support it. PS4 will entertain for at least three more years, and you can use it as the alternative for when Batman fucking sucks on PC.

tempted to get cities skylines via nuuvem

not really a genre i play a lot but that's pretty cheap and i kind of like trying new things

also randomly caught an episode of supergirl (i think it was the first) and holy shit that show moved fast. can't believe how much information they wanted me to process developed in so little time lol. thought it was really lame like every other superhero show but u know, figured i'd give it a chance since it had more chances of reaching me than most. what can u do..
