You can't buy from Gamestop, you have to get someone to buy it for you.
thanks but I'm fine w/ Civ 5 complete lol
For me looking at the Steam Store has become kinda annoying.
Being forced to see curator's opinions from people I don't follow when scrolling through a game's page. Being forced to open another page to see the real releases (why couldn't they allow people to filter stuff out of the full releases list, instead of making that popular new releases [click here to see the actual real full release list]?).
Having to scroll through a lot of stuff I'm not interested about to get to the daily/new releases.
The whole look of the store, with banding/artifacting on that weird blue fetish they now have, and how it doesn't fit too well with the dark blue at the top of the page. But that banding/artifacting, why?
The icons on icons, who thought it was a good way to go about showing something is in your library/on your wishlist? Put the icon near the game's name if you're that much convinced that using an icon is the way to go, not on the game's icon, covering 1/3 of it. Otherwise just do what ES does, make the tile a different color, which is a better/faster/more obvious way to distinguish between owned/on wishlist/not owned items and way less intrusive. At least ES fixes this, but the simple fact that one has to go to ES to fix it depresses me. Why haven't they hired Jshackles already?
Last but not least, the gradients. I'd love for the gradients to go away. Even from ES, to be quite honest.

So how about some downsampling-inception tests. Would GeDoSaTo + DSR + a game with and Internal Resolution Scalling option and applying SSAA ontop work? Probally kill your card so I wouldn't recommend it
Saying that Dead Space at 11520x6480 with 4xSGSSAA was about playable at 5-10fps on one 780.
They're tying it to the lead up to the Free Hoxton DLC but it's not the same. For one it costs $7 when the Free Hoxton DLC should be free. The community announcement also had this pic.
Looks like you can't kick down doors like in Hotline Miami and need c4 to do it.
Pretty sure that's a new gun too.I wasn't expecting this to $7 like Big Bank, hopefully the heist itself substantial enough to warrant it. It doesn't have the usual "only $7 to host it but anyone can play it" qualifier but I imagine it will be the same. Though I doubt it will go on sale for Crimefest on Oct 18, still waiting on that to pick up the Assault Pack.
edit: Oh damn I just realised the new DS2 DLC comes out on the same day and Smash comes out three days later. So little time.

Would you even notice a visible difference on anything less than a 100 foot monitor/TV
.Sounds like you need Kerbal Space Program in your life.
Damn right you are

Shit man. Awesome deal for you! Hope you enjoy the upgrade and more of your game library
So, good news. I got an Intel Xeon server for all my backups and a new computer for the rest of my family (LOL), as well as a flat-screen monitor.
Bad news: no dual cores left when I got there. Will have to take the plunge and pick up a rig when I get the cash.
Oh, I guess the pages I tested just didn't have any curation stuff on them...
And here I was ready to praise Valve for doing something good.
The curation interface is a fucking joke as it's currently set up.
Anyway, quote this post if you want to see my curation page, all 3 of you that care =p
You can't.

All I know is the music better be rocking in that level.

hm, yes. i have seen what you done did there.
Use adblock. On chrome just click on the adblock icon and hover over the curator area till it becomes highlighted click on it and boom gone.
I used to use the client myself till Enhanced Steam came into the picture but since then it's been a no brainer.

Better question would be, do you even need AA at that level of Downsampling?
You best not be forgetting Binding of Isaac.

I'm sorry Grief.exe after playing the original I just can't do it.
For posterity you essentially need to increase the FOV and disable the mouse smoothing in Bulletstorm. The default options for both settings are terrible.
Encrypted settings files are par for the course as far as GFWL is concerned, so you will need to download this program http://games.softpedia.com/get/Tools/Bulletstorm-INI-Editor.shtml
FOV is located in the StormCamera ini and mouse smoothing is located in the StormInput ini.

PS Plus baby
I think that'll be free on PS+ so I'll get it there and most probably rebuy in the future.
How could I forget such a great game? Especially now I have a chance to get my girlfriend to play it.

Hahaha well on a serious note there's only so much information you can cram into a limited space. A bigger display isn't going to do too much if there's isn't the canvas to properly display it so while downsampling is great and all that an increase in panel resolution can yield better results.
Depends on the game, depends on the geometry, depends on the textures but at 7680x3240 and with 4xSGSSAA Dead Space 1 & 2 were aliasing free and stable in motion (even lower resolution effects). Without any AA it was still a bit temporally unstable under motion but even something as rudimentary as FXAA works wonders at bonkers resolutions let alone the king that is SGSSAA.
Edit: Still shots but try and spot signs of aliasing here.

Gah, cashing in all my Humble Bundle Keys, looks like I made a fuck up somewhere, it's saying there's been "too many unsuccessful activation attempts", although I only really know of 1 just now, and to try again later. But they don't tell me how long it'll be...
On the bright side, I crossed the 250 game mark at least.

Steam does that when redeeming many keys fast. Try again in an hour.
Didn't know that. EU or only US?

OK, only got 9 left anyway to do. Will need to garbage dump the repeats too.

What's the point of making a game if (almost) nobody plays it?
Even with Rebirth coming out, the original+dlc for a dollar is ridiculously good.
edit: Rebirth even has a loyal discount that knocks off $5 so it's even better.

Because it's better than no one playing it because the game doesn't exist. Even if it doesn't come to the PC more and more people will play it over the years as the game goes on sale and the Xbox One continues to expand its audience.
Vita would be a good place to play Isaac.
That looks real nice.
Your comment on Pyrite Heart, describing it as an enjoyable shoujo romp, made it go up on my list of stuff to get.
I don't think they've announced specifics yet. I imagine it'll be both though since the game is launching on PS Plus.
Both. And on release day.

I'm just talking philosophically.
If you make a game and sales are abysmal, the likelihood of you getting to make another game in the future goes down by some factor.
If the guy needed money to complete the project, perhaps he should have gone the crowd-funding route instead.

If anybody hasn't copped Binding of Isaac yet, shit is $.74. Also it'd be nice to have for the 33% off rebirth
In Dead Space's case it helps that they are all really easy to run as well as the deferred rendered goodness that is Visceral's engine.
Of course now you have a new toy to play with it's time to revisit the stunners of the past and see if you can't bring them up a level or three.
