Got a risk of rain key. Thanks again guys!

 

[wetflame]

Really pumped that Risk of Rain has a four pack in the bundle. It's an awesome game and more people should play it. I already own it so I'll be gifting my four copies tomorrow morning. Can't be bothered turning my laptop on for gifting now, plus it'll spread the love a little. I didn't own any of the other games in the BTA tier so far so that's a real plus too. Great bundle!

i like blacklight retribution a whole lot

it's basically call of duty with a really cool "wallhack" gimmick and you can turn invisible and crap. it's pretty nice

microtransaction stuff isn't so bad if you're not planning on being super competitive or min maxing crap

i basically play a round and earn enough money to rent a gun for the next game and go about like that

 

[TheAutomator]

Oops, I want to make my giveaway a short raffle instead. How do I change it?

Reposting for new page.

I've heard good things about it at least.

Resubmit your keys to Modbot and type "RAFFLE" on the next line under it.

Can you buy games via the Steam iOS app? Realized I won't be home during the winter sale >_<'

How's performance/optimization in Lords of the Fallen?

performance is fine after I used fullscreen instead of borderless. Im hearing conflicting results tho, and I have a beefy rig

BUT the game is virtually unplayable right now because of constant crashes, so steer clear for now. Which is a bummer because the game itself looks quite good

example: I tried streaming it earlier and my first stream lasted 13minutes

my second stream lasted 5 minutes lol (they stop because they game crashed)

this is after the game already crashing twice this afternoon when I first tried the game and it crashed 2 times on the first boss, then I finally managed to kill him, stopped a bit, tried again and thats the streams above

 

[Angel Abaddon]

This new Humble Bundle is awesome. There's something I want in every tier. Now I need an excuse not to buy the whole thing.


I use "man" and "guys" in a generic way, for lack of knowledge about a gender-neutral word I could use instead. "People" sounds too formal/weird, and "buddy, "pal" and "friend" make me feel awkward when I don't know the other person.

I've never really considered them being a gender identifiers as I use "man" "guys" and "dude" (I'm stuck in the 90's, I don't care) in the same context I use "mate" or "mates". I suppose they technically are, but its not something that I've given much thought to as they've always been a figure of speech since I was a teenager.

Man has been used as gender neutral for years, right alongside "mankind".

I need to know more gender neutral terms.


I have used friend before. Always liked how that sounded. "Hello friend".

Using mate is a good one, but can come off weird if you're not British/Aussie

In the particular case, why is it not enough with "thank you"?

 

[AlphaProspector]

So, changed my avatar to something more avatar-quotable (sp?), heh. To celebrate an upcoming release maybe someday soon.

Anyway, what is the general opinion on Claire? Is it as good as Lone Survivor? Looks pretty damn neat so I bought the bundle that includes it.

Also, this thursday marks the start of the spooky skeletons Halloween Steam Sale, right? I'm so out of the loop after the SEGA announcement...

My past giveaway is a raffle and it's currently running though. If I make another giveaway for the same keys will it close the other giveaway?

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Personally, I've always seen the little identifiers as a little bit more personable and friendly. Thank you without anything else just comes off a bit formal for me.

Yes. I bought a lot of stuff on it

Tf2, PlanetSide 2, Quake Live & Hawken may be of interest. There are a few more here.

Thanks, the official page doesn't say much. Is it only Steam Wallet or do cards also work?

On Neogaf, every anime avatar is quotable.

I actually liked the old Croixleur avatar, as I actually recognised it. New one is good too though.

Using mate is a good one, but can come off weird if you're not British/Aussie

I'm British, so no problems there.

Is there a way to active games on Steam without launching Steam?

I'm on a chromebook and would love to redeem some codes I have.

No sir

 

[davepoobond]

Thanks, the official page doesn't say much. Is it only Steam Wallet or do cards also work?

Just like normal steam. You can access your wallet and the saved card. You have to enter the 3 digit card code each time for a transaction.

I think you can set up a payment method from scratch. I don't think there's any lower functionality in the payment system at all.

The only thing is you can't redeem keys through it that you don't buy directly from steam.

 

[Jørdan]

While we are asking how to do things, how the hell do you see all Early Access games available at the store?

 

[inm8num2]

http://store.steampowered.com/genre/Early Access/

(Under the 'Games' menu on the main page under 'Free to Play' and above the different genre categories.)

 

[davepoobond]

Do you have to actually install a free to play game for it to be added to your library? I was trying to mark all the free to play games I was interested in really quickly without installing and it didnt seem to work as I wanted it to

 

[gngf123]

I think so, yeah.


It used to be removed from your library on uninstall as well unless you buy DLC or something. Not sure if that's still the case.

 

[Jørdan]

http://store.steampowered.com/genre/Early Access/

(Under the 'Games' menu on the main page under 'Free to Play' and above the different genre categories.)

Thanks, however there are 277 games in Early Access just now according to Steam yet I can't see that many no matter what options I select. The most I can see is 209 under the Top Sellers tab, there has to be a way to see all of 'em.

 

[Shadownet]

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

Yes of course isn't that how Christianity works? I mean love.

yay I found out why Mordor was running like ass... it was in 4k >_>

why did it set itself for 4k tho, is that from that new nvidia DSR shit, does it do it automatically?

If you click on 'Optimize' in the GeForce Experience then yes, it can do that. Or Mordor does it by itself.

I'm genuinely surprised no one got The Simpsons reference. Treehouse of Horror, the one where homer sells his soul for a donut. It was on Sunday.

 

[Tellaerin]

It's interesting how people write "man", "dude" and "sir" in the thank you-PMs.
Also a bit sad. Assuming someone is male seems to be the norm here too.

Ohwell.

"Man", "dude", etc. are relaxed modes of address that imply an informal, friendly relationship between the speaker and listener. They're technically gendered terms, but are often treated as non-gender-specific when used in that fashion. (In other words, everyone's "dude" to me. No offense intended.)

I sold my soul for a piece of gum and a drawing of a turtle! (Worth it.)

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

So far my experience of Risk of Rain has been it closing by itself and on 2nd attempt completely freezing when I tried to skip the opening video.

What?? WHERE?!?!

man I've watched so many Simpsons episodes it's all starting to blur together. How many Treehouse of Horror are their up to now?

I was about to post another day, another The Swapper raffle, and another day I walk away empty handed. But Modbot listened to my prayer today. <3 GAF told me I should try that game since it's pretty good.

That's why we just say "y'all" here in Texas.

Spoiler

No, that's not really why, but it works.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that a new patch made the game quite buggy. This must confirm it.

Yes! Finally got another foil after 2 months without one! My last one was from Banner Saga, which was also my first one.

I'm not a (fish) aficionado either, but it was recent, and I know there are people on the board who are hardcore fanatics. They marathoned the Treehouse episodes last Sunday.
