Oh, hello new thread! :O

From Speevy in the last thread:

I have this weird feeling of cognitive dissonance regarding mods.

On the one hand, I love how much work modders put into a game and how that fills the game with content that is compelling beyond the original "vanilla" game. Some of it changes the way you play, which can add untold hours to your game time.

On the other hand, the amount of influence I exert over a game, the more I feel less compelled to finish it.

Let me describe an example. So let's say I add a spell to one of the stores in Skyrim. Now, I buy the spell and discover that it kills virtually any enemy in the game with little effort on my part. Now, I can choose not to use the spell. I can remove it from the game. I can keep it and just enjoy the game knowing that I've sucked all the challenge out. However, all of these choices lead me to the inevitable conclusion that there is something that dulls every enemy encounter in the game. Every time I run from a powerful enemy, I'll ask myself if I should be using that spell, and that conflict concerning my influence rears its ugly head again.

This happens to me, too! To avoid it, I try to only install mods that don't affect a game's corse gamplay. Lots of cool visual mods and add ons, but no unbalanced combat type stuff.

That feel when I get a booster pack.

That feel when it's for FTL, a game that has cards going for $.08 or so.

Yeah, I've gotten two or three booster packs since the card thing started and they've all been for games with $.08 cards as well. Steam hates us! :X Not that I'm complaining about boosters, though!

She just performed at Madison Square Gardens. I think she has another show there tonight.
Yeah I live in Canada so I would have to fly down to see one of her shows.

Oh except I missed it when she did her solo tour and was in Toronto (the first one too, lol) last summer.

Tomorrow is the last Quakecon daily deal, right? Hoping to get Skyrim DLCs for at least 66% off :/

It should be the last day of the sale! That would be really nice; the Skyrim DLC never gets discounted. :/ I'm hoping for Oblivion to get a pretty deep cut!

I don't know how to point ModBot at a new thread, so it's possible a few things won't work until that happens (probably lurker checks and anonymous giveaways).

ModBot's attached to this thread as of 20 minutes ago.

i like you

Funny thing was during the last thread I was thinking. I remember seeing a gafer with her as his avatar in SteamGAF. I wonder if he would show up again, cause i'd love to say hi :D he got great taste in music and woman. She is B-E-A-UTIFUL!

lol. Sorry don't have time for steam. Still have to study for a few exams. Stupid uni. :(

whenever you do find time to get on :) Pm me on Steam! we need to catch up!! Best of luck on your exams Kiru! :D

You guys think it's about time to jump into Divinity? Have the major issues/problems been patched?

I started my playthrough a couple days ago and haven't encountered anything that would prevent someone from playing it.

It's really good, I'm playing it right now actually.

Skyrim Legendary Edition for Steam is $13.59 on Amazon right now! I think it's gotten down to $10 during Steam sales, though, if you want to wait.

Hope they make it all back, thats a lot of money.

It will, if it hasn't already. The game was "approaching profitability" at 160k sold as at the beginning of the month.

$13.59 is Steam's all-time lowest, too, excluding the "grey market".

I've yet to get one since I'm still pretty low leveled. I got my first foil yesterday though from Ballpoint Universe. :D

The foil badge for that game actually looks sort of cool.

It's too bad it's just a recolor of the other level badges. Booster pack drops do get better odds when you reach higher levels. Well, unless you're Turfster :p

Yeah, I've gotten two or three booster packs since the card thing started and they've all been for games with $.08 cards as well. Steam hates us! :X Not that I'm complaining about boosters, though!

If more people would craft Agarest Zero badges, maybe everyone that owns that game would get more booster pack drops. It's the equivalent of a retirement fund for card money if you can get a foil drop.

That feel when you see, 1 new inventory item and it's just a voucher to a game destined to be bundle trash.

I know that feel :/

I remember seeing a pop up for a new inventory item before I got my first booster, going into my inventory to see what it was, and discovering it was a coupon for Pixel Piracy that had less of a discount than it was on sale for at the time, and it couldn't stack. I was really disappointed that day.

Someone explain to me the thread title!

Sub-Zero won his own giveaway of the Quakecon bundle, which had 100+ entrants.
 
I've been playing Valiant Hearts for the last few days, I'll play an hour or so a night, I just really like hunting for all the collectibles (Even though most of them are super easy to find) and love reading all the historical facts. I LOVE when games do this type of stuff. I've learned a ton from that game already.

Anyone else have an experience like that with this game? Or even if you know any other games that actually teach you as you play?

I have 2gb left on my hardrive. Would it be a terrible idea or would it even work to move my Steam games to an external drive?

OMG! you need to get on tomorrow so we can talk some more :D I got some more awesome music videos to show you!

It'd work just fine. The simplest solution would be to just move your entire steamapps folder to the external drive and place a symbolic link to it in the root of the Steam folder.
