Just remember, we're living in a time where we'll be getting a Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Inhumans movie, as well as a Luke Cage/Jessica Jones TV series. Let that sink in for a second.

What a great time to live in. Now I only need my She-Hulk TV series.

 

[Saty]

At first i thought the new update is about Steam letting you know how well you will be able to play the games according to the system requirements.

 

[Divius]

Looks like my OlliOlli is borked, it does not respond to anything when ingame, I am just floating

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Humble inDIE 13 bundle

Tier 4 is the spookiest tier of all.

It's still one of the best Humble Bundles in a while, though, even if only one game in it so far is "spooky."

 

[ashecitism]

Same here.

 

[TheAutomator]

Spend 1 more dollar? There's no 'un-redeem' option that I'm aware of.

I could, but I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to games.

 

[Shadownet]

Mine is working just fine. Try verifying the cache?

Also im surprise that this game has Playstation prompts.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Just remember, we're living in a time where we'll be getting a Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Inhumans movie, as well as a Luke Cage/Jessica Jones TV series. Let that sink in for a second.

11 Movies between now at 2019. I'm still stuck at the beginning of Phase Two. I can't hold all these movies.

 

[jshackles]

No only my Visa is. But I did look through my statements and I did buy with my Amex but never saved the info to my profile. Last thing my account purchased was Splinter Cell in june. I got the free version of Payday on oct 17th but that was free.

Hmmm then sorry, only Steam support can help you with that issue. You're right for not doing a chargeback.

I'd suggest calling Amex customer support and asking them to block all future purchases on Steam or (barring that) tell them that you think your card number may have been stolen and request a new one. This would prevent whoever made that charge from making another one.

Good luck!

I did and also deleted and re-installed it. Also disabled steam overlay.

Seems like I need to reboot my pc in order to get it to work. *sigh* haven't rebooted my PC in weeks.

 

[Chance Hale]

Bought Bayonetta 2 and Sunset Overdrive, hopefully I will actually find time to play them ;-;

Tempted to get Lords of the Fallen too via GMG but given how little time I have working 6 days a week it seems inadvisable.

[zkylon]

magical battle festa sounds cool

it has anime in it

 

[jshackles]

Same here.

Unsurprisingly, this image is causing a bit of controversy (remember what I said just a little bit ago about how you word things)

It's not testing the system requirements, it's only showing games that work with SteamOS / BPM and have controller support.

 

[bjaelke]

two spare risk of rain keys, enjoy:

Watching some casters run through Lords of the Fallen...and I'm getting a super strong urge to get it! It looks awesome!

It is until it crashes repeatedly.

as in not saying "installed games"?

 

[Tizoc]

Rise of the Dark Spark isn't worth it. The first 2 TF games are much better than it.

 

[NingenJanai]

Unsurprisingly, this image is causing a bit of controversy (remember what I said just a little bit ago about how you word things)

BPM means they can only show 3 games at once in a 42" screen?

Right Valve, you are masters of UI/UX

[Parsnip]

That's a really low barrier for something to be cool.

 

[Nzyme32]

BPM means they can only show 3 games at once in a 42" screen?

Yeah this bothers the hell out of me. I don't understand why that is the case, and it has to be obvious to them that that is suboptimal

 

[zkylon]

That's a really low barrier for something to be cool.

i'm easy to be lured in

hard to keep interested tho

but generally if it's anime or has a cool artstyle or atmosphere i'm game

Yeah this bothers the hell out of me. I don't understand why that is the case, and it has to be obvious to them that that is suboptimal

it's valve

don't expect much common sense out of them

 

[ashecitism]

hahahahaha

this is Valve we're talking about here

 

[Asgaro]

Tier 4 is the spookiest tier of all.

It's still one of the best Humble Bundles in a while, though, even if only one game in it so far is "spooky."

i hope i spooked you now, friend :3
have a spooky evening =)

 

[Spyware]

Wanna give away most of the keys from the latest Humble Bundle (just wanted Jazzpunk) but also wanna take the opportunity to throw away the older (mostly meh) spare keys I have. So not with the same rules... my question is then: does ModBot work well with posting two giveaways in the same post or should I just ignore the shame and post the bad one separately?

I was thinking the nice giveaway will make the garbage dump look better

 

[Jørdan]

Aaaand I'm throttled. Thanks for the generosity guys.

It's not testing the system requirements, it's only showing games that work with SteamOS / BPM and have controller support.

Ok, that is just mean. That's exactly how I understood it before reading your explanation of what they actually mean by that. With a second look the icons do give pause for thought but it is too magical a possibility to think clearly, would make it so much easier and they certainly have the capability of implementing it.

 

[Shadownet]

Today is a good day.

Alien Isolation price glitch, an awesome Humble Bundle AND Transformers games are on sale.

Scratch that. Today is a great day.

I hate to say this (now that I've moved and my job hours have stabilized so I'm no longer "looking for work") but I really feel like I could implement a system like that if I worked at Valve. Among other things.

...Valve Time

Did they? From what I've seen / heard it turned out to be just a software analysis tool to check that you have the right version of DirectX etc installed.

 

[freshVeggie]

Wow, crazy good bundle the humble one. Thanks to nice gaffers I got some great games.
Plus Alien Isolation as a gift for a very dear buddy.

It is a good day.

 

[fernandes]

That would be a great feature IF the system requirements were accurate. Most of the time they are not. I lost count of the games I played just fine with with a pc that shouldn't be running them according the the minimum requirements.

 

[Khronico]

iosefe and Shadownet are pretty cool people. Gifted me two games I wanted today! Thanks duders!

 

[ashecitism]

just searched it

When I ask whether Steam Machines will have a dedicated hardware specification, the team reveals that they're working on something a little more elegant: a system built into Steam that shows you which games your hardware configuration can actually run, and conversely, what hardware you'd need to buy to play a given game well — based on the real-world data about computer configurations that Valve already collects with its Steam Hardware Survey.

"It's one of these places where Steam is particularly and perhaps uniquely positioned to be able to actually help customers… we're sitting at the nexus of these hardware specs, so we can harvest data about what's going on, and repeat it back in a digestible form to every Steam user who cares," Coomer explains. Valve says it hasn't hammered out all the details yet, but it plans to launch such a feature next year.

The Villagers and Heroeos on Steamgifts is flooded with glitches caused by heavy raining...

 

[jshackles]

Read that feature announcement again. The only thing different is that it'll show you games that are compatible with your operating system (Windows / OSX / Linux / SteamOS) and will show you games with controller support if you are browsing with a controller.

Thanks I must have missed that. Last year. *sigh*

Basically this. If it has the animus, I'm gonna at least try it. That's why I blindly bought Sakura Spirt when it was 50% off. I regret that one. I like boobs as much as the next guy, but it feels silly when the whole story is used just to segue from one picture of boobs to another.

 

[Woody Invincible]

You gotta play hard to get, and send Gaben an email detailing the reasons why his company stinks, and that you wouldn't be caught dead working there.

** Just don't use the word dead.

 

[LurkerPrime]

50ppp top of page announcement: Get hyped for DRAGON THE GAME!

Read that feature announcement again. The only thing different is that it'll show you games that are compatible with your operating system (Windows / OSX / Linux / SteamOS) and will show you games with controller support if you are browsing with a controller.

So, a feature designed almost entirely for Steamboxes.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I don't think I even want to know who cheap Alien Isolation was. I hate all of you. I don't even want the game. Not like I really want it or anything like that. Your all dumb if you got it cheap. Bah.

Spoiler

I'm always too late for dumb glitches

 

[rtcn63]

Yes, but you just sold'em your soul.

He already promised his soul to his wife on their wedding day brah

yea i mean i do have a bit of dignity tho

Sure you do.

Spoiler

It was $8 and included the Season Pass.

Spoiler

I didn't get it either.

Yes I know that. I was talking about if it really was a system requirement check to which games your computer could run. I'm just saying it would help some people but it would still be very inaccurate.
