The triumphant return of Bodkins and maybe Tappet.
Internet shopping security is in a weird place.
This is how my purchase of Pac-man DX went down, and it is really bugging me:
ME: Hi gamestop web store! I'd like to buy Pac-man DX+ For $2.50.
GS: Ok, great! Who are you?
ME: I'm nexen.
GS: How can I be sure? Do you have access to nexen's email?
ME: Yes.
GS: Ok. Hey, we bought Impulse. You have an account there you have to merge. You're still nexen, right?
ME: Yes.
GS: How can I be sure? Do you have access to nexen's email?
ME: Yes.
GS: Ok. Now download our awesome NotSteam app and run it.
ME: *downloads and runs app*
NotSteam: Hello, I am NotSteam. Login please.
ME: I'm nexen.
NotSteam: How can I be sure? Do you have access to nexen's email?
ME: Yes.
NotSteam: You have to authorize this computer to use me. Do you have access to nexen's email?
ME: Yes.
NotSteam: Here is your Steam key.
ME: *shuts down and uninstalls NotSteam*

Well, most Japanese games seem to be years behind western games in terms of graphics and game engines, so that's pretty accurate IMO. Everything else is subjective to some degree.
Sadly, this is what it's gonna be thanks to SAM. Srsly, is there any chance Steam will ever make it so SAM doesn't work? I want dat summer/winter sale of 2011 again. Nothing will ever top the winter sale of 2011. Goddamn that was fun.
Categories are stored in userdata\[account id]\7\remote\sharedconfig.vdf and Steam occasionally overwrites the file, so every time you add a game to a category be sure to back it up. As for your games, you're going to have to reinstall them, but Steam should detect the existing data and not actually download anything.
Edit: Haha, I wasn't fully focused on what I was doing and muddled up the info a bit. Shortcuts are in a separate file: userdata\[account id]\config\shortcuts.vdf.
Rymdkapsel is coming to Steam it seems. It's an amazing mobile game for PlayStation Mobile (I got it on my Vita for free a couple days ago), although I hope it gets an injection of content or they'll need to price it very cheaply. Everyone should get it when it comes to the PC.
Think an even more minimal FTL.

Thanks JaseC
Yeah, now that you mention it, I think I read that LL is optimized a lot better than the first one. Thanks you for the answer about the DLC !
Wait, what?
Since when can you run PSM games on Vita?
Or has this always been possible, just only in the 2 countries in the whole fucking world that actually have PSM?
Yeah, it's a pity, really.
It made me try a lot of games I wouldn't have otherwise.
How dare you! Let me show you my rage! =p

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'll admit I basically believe in avatar-craniology, to the point where I want to start keeping a database. Another stray observation:
Vehemently pro-Sony comment: Soccer-related avatar or anime-adjacent avatar.

excellent news. Been playing it on mobile from the bundle.
...I wouldn't call FTL minimal

7/10 would read again, no sharp knees! also shoulda finished with a > mfw
Nuuvem also has an NotSteam now! At least it does game FPS (like fraps)!

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I don't know who you are or how the hell you got access to nexen's email, but you better believe I'm onto you.
I don't know when PSM started but PSM has been part of the PSN store and playable on Vita in NA for a very long time now. Sorry :\

What does mine say about me m8?

what does my avatar say about me
I'm sorry but, uhm, it's the latter
It has always been possible in the selected few countries PSM is available in (I'm in Italy and shockingly we have PSM over here).
They added 9 new countries last week though, see if you're lucky.

Is there a page with all of them listed?

I'm in that list, but I don't see PSM games on my Vita...
I did a post waaaay back.
Too many posts, have this thing I found on the internet instead.
I want the summer camp achievement hunt back
It was the best! Either that, or winter cards.It is a third tab in the PSN (SEN?) store. Games, Movies, PSM
Whomever gets access to nexen's email becomes the next nexen. It is kind of like the Dread Pirate Roberts, but way less cool.

So much work for something ultimately really silly.

It's a straight port but playing at 60fps puts it light years ahead of the console versions. Other than that you can increase resolution and do some minor tweaks to ini files to improve IQ.
It's not a very good game but it includes the dlc so you're looking at a solid 12 hours, even at $10 I have some reservations recommending it though. The gameplay is very shallow but it has some nice looking areas and good characters with great acting and it's still fun even if repetitive.
I'd say it's worth checking out for the nice story and setting, don't expect deep gameplay and you'll be fine.

The SEN store has tabs? =p
It automatically goes to games here.
(No, we don't have movies either. Sometimes, I really hate this country...)
Slightly more on topic:
Greenmangaming did their own overview page
Yeah, Nuuvem has had its own client for quite a while now, but at least it's entirely optional.
Oh I'm sorry, this is the original news: http://community.eu.playstation.com...for-PSM-expands-to-18-countries/td-p/20192319
It will come in December, even though the news was from last week.

UNGNGGHH Infinite for $10. Missed it the other day on Steam. You guys think it'll show up in a flash sale for cheaper or should I just grab it now?
Well, you've got 24 hours.

Can you put the comment here?I'm starting to really appreciate the reviews feature on Steam.
How cool is that my sexist ranting comment about ETS2 managed to be the third most helpful review with "193 of 253 people (76%) found this review helpful"?
@ Work on my phone right now and steam isn't working.

Anyone noticed that most games this sale convert the price into a good price?
Admit it, son.
If it's not one thing, it's your mother.
Prices are better, but getting a gift from the US is usually still 25% cheaper, so...
