Hmm, that's a shame to hear. I got that feeling even from the beginning. The very start of the opening mission gave me some hope, but the combat just felt so stiff, even considering the fact that I was just starting out. The weird lack of polish in the animations felt really jarring, too. When I was sneaking by the bear in the opening, watching it swivel around without actually moving any limbs was just really odd looking, especially for something that's supposed to be so polished.

and people were saying this would be a good thing and that we should just see how it plays out. Well it's playing out and it looks like shit.
I know that it's still good though.

Somehow I'm skeptical "Valve's lawyer" just contacted a simple modder.
Well i do;t see any issues. They told him that they can make Mod available only for current owners. That is standard procedure even for games on Steam. People who bought Deadpool can still download and play that game but people can't buy it anymore.

Probably down because it looks like they have done some type of update to the new workshop and paid mods. They are back down to just 17 paid mods at the moment.
NSIAP, but an official dark version of the new Air skin is apparently coming in early May.
cool

why so?
he is someone who is selling a product on steam...if valve is not using his lawyer for him..when exactly are they gonna use it?
Nintendo has been finished since 1992 though, so I'm going someplace that's free from scummy business practices, the Google Play Store!
Yeah, it looks that way. But people will jump to the worst conclusions anyway.

NOT A HERO was near the top of my "coming soon and I must have it list" until certain GAFers ruined it for me (it's complicated).
You don't HAVE to bring the key from the first world to the fourth one unless you want to unlock the shortcut. And the shortcuts are pretty much useless outside of unlocking characters (which are just cosmetic or tied to an achievement if you care about it) or maybe practicing getting through an area. But mostly for the unlocking characters.
I know it sounds like I'm being a dick, but if you were focused on doing that, because you really believed you needed the shortcut, you missed the whole point of Spelunky and you were playing it wrong.

if youre trying to unlock shortcuts in Spelunky in order to skip stages then you're doing it wrong.

8.1 just gives you the button. It doesn't operate like the start menu. When you click on it, it switches you over to the touch interface UX
I thought Nintendo was doomed, DOOOOOMMMED!!! Maybe it's time for Sir Clive Sinclair to revolutionise the home computer industry again and then blow all the profits on a hybrid powered car project. Only this time with all this climate change concern around he might succeed.

I recommend first trying the new one. Maybe you like it? And W10 will bring back the startmenu but it'll have lots of the funcionalities of the start screen.
Also check https://ninite.com/ for a bunch of useful tools lots of people use.
Afair that was either a misunderstanding or a rumor.
MS said about a year ago that a future update for 8.1 will reinstate the traditional start menu. I take it that never happened (presumably so it could be a feature of Win10)?

It did not, but it will happen in Windows 10. I have a feeling they wanted to do another update to Windows 8 but decided to hold it all for

Any word on Infested Planet?
It looks a bit like a mod for Warcraft 3 that I recall fondly, but don't recall the name of.

Exactly. And here it is, in layman's terms, straight from the Workshop FAQ:
Q. Can I delete my Workshop item?
A. You can stop selling and delist your Workshop item, but it cannot be deleted. If there are customers that have purchased your item, they will need continued access to the mod as well as your Workshop page so they can reference the items they have purchased.
So... how is this Valve's fault again?

Yeah, It's quite flexible with all the shortcuts the right-click provides.

oh that's right...

Otherwise maybe pCARS, if you can consider that big. (Big for crowdfunding at least)

it's not, people just need a reason to not put their pitchforks down.
Why think when you can engage in anger and rage, social media's default position on all topics.
I'm in some pickle again: I like Princess Battles, the card game is nice, there are choices that matter, but it seems cheevos are bugged, well some at least, and seeing like 3 and a half people are playing it, I doubt it'll be fixed any time soon, then I decide to play Hand of Fate as it's not EA anymore, at first it refuses to run (I like you Unity engine too /s), then after fiddling some it finally runs and it is a quite nice game, but oh boy is it slow, especially comparing to Princess Battles. So what now?

The same is true of store items. Valve partially reversed Squeenix's boneheaded decision to remove Order of War: Challenge from user libraries as those who'd bought Challenge specifically were left with an empty licence.

Yea Win10 will be context aware UI. In Desktop mode the start menu will be a hybrid start/metro thing.

Yes.
And using win+s is faster than navigating a start menu anyway.
I hated the new Windows at first, like everyone else, so I used Start8 by Stardock for awhile. But after I embraced the change, I'm absolutely fine with the new stuff.
don't get me wrong, that game is great, nothing can beat being killed by a chicken or never being able to stop at a home spot, but 100% OJ hates me with such passion, it's a tad intimidating (><)
hi there!
I still hate win8 and will hate until I die, not like 100%OJ hates players but close.
It does everything what I consider wrong and some I didn't knew is wrong, but now I know. 8.1 is better tho
Yeah, the screenshots I've seen of it here and there show what seems to be an acceptable compromise.
I just had a look at what Sir Clive Sinclair was doing and discovered, to my amazement, that a new Sinclair ZX Spectrum, the Vega, has actually been developed with IndieGogo money, and is available to buy as of today.
I so want one.
Fundamentally, you can break down the majority of hate against Win 8 to fear of change.
Most of the differences are cosmetic with objective speed improvements. Win + X, Win + S, Win + click on application. Really nothing has changed from an end user perspective.
