The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Just bought a Vita game.

Vita in 2017.

Also, we use the term "day 1" loosely, but I would legit day 1 the Halo tril...err... tetralogy on steam.

blasphemy! incomparable in any way, like literally what they even have in common? being games?

They don't have anything in common, except that the first word in their titles are the same except for two vowels being switched. The one that I don't care about is the only one discussed on SteamGAF.

Shardlight is 75% off for the weekly deal.
That rounds my Wadjet Eye collection quite nicely, can't wait for Unavowed
to hit 75% off as well
 


RIP. Windows Store.
Are you fucking kidding me? I'm still trying to finish Dishonored 2 on high chaos, started to play Bulletstorm remastered recently, need to force myself to play Nier route B, finally finished downloading Bayonetta, waiting for preload for Full Throttle Remastered and Dawn of War 3, and now this? In 2 days? For probably around 15$ in my region? What the hell is going on, why those games keeps coming!

So, I downloaded Quake Live since some friends play it recently.

"OK, I'll look at the tutorial. Why Not?"

I just spent around an hour and a half in the last room of the rocket jump tutorial. But yeah, I beat it. I took a look at the bonus challenge and said "fuck it", tho. It's enough for me (especially since you get nothing for it). Now the strafejumping tutorial... I spent like 4 hours yesterday in the last room of it, which is basically bridge to rail....
And still haven't managed to pass it. Gotta try more.

I haven't had anything major, but it did re-enable some stuff I'd turned off because they were causing problems like the XBox Game DVR and an ethernet port that I'd disabled.

I wonder what's going to happen since I've uninstalled the Xbox app completely.. Guess it'll just reinstall it.

Yes.Something happened with memory usage after upgrade.Or maybe they changed something ? Can't find any info.

If you can find something, link.

Maybe not, it didn't seem to reinstall the things I'd removed like One Drive.

Hmm, I've actually uninstalled most of the programs that come W10 so guess I'll see soon enough. Too many reports of Nvidia drivers not behaving correctly so I'm at least waiting for new version of that before updating, just to be safe.
 
It's about goddamn time.

(I played it on Xbox360 at the time, and it's probably a bit too simple -like C&C3 and 4- for PC gamers, but I just want the good stuff on the platform I have, not everybody's own store. Or that 'vista only' crap with Halo 2 PC )

Agreed on all points.

The game is definitely too simple. Oversimplified to the point that it feels empty and pretty dull.

Hopefully Windows Store things start getting better than mediocre sales. I still want to try Quantum Break but not at any prices I've seen.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The default colors are bad, dunno why those were chosen

This color is the same gradient color that Valve uses for their wishlist button.


I actually did update Enhanced Steam a few versions back to make this more readable by default, so now it looks like this:


But this change didn't update (overwrite) any existing user's color. You can use the new default color by opening the extension options and selecting "Default" next to wishlist color as shown here:

Holy crap you have like 946 Steam messages.

So that's what it's like to be famous, huh?

Haha yeah I try to keep these pretty clean but I do get 100+ invites a day or so, some days are worse. I used to set up a program that automatically filtered them out from people I didn't have any affiliation with back before they had an "Ignore all" button. Now I just try to remember to hit that every couple of days. I have to give it to Valve for actually making the right call (for me at least) of putting people with the most number of friends in common at the top of the invite page.

This is what happens when you idle for too long.

I'm so OCD I never could get behind Idling for cards.

I need my Steam Library hours logged to be 100% legit.

True story. Got a unrecognized Friend Invite out of the blue over the weekend. No Friends in common. No Groups in common.

Not even any games as theirs were all big multiplayer FPSs, which I never play.

Yet.

I still hand-wrung over Ignoring the Invite, knowing it was likely spam anyway.

That was for ONE user Invite, LOL.

Can't even imaging a daily tidal-wave of Invites from randoms.

I guess anonymity does have its blessings.
 
Speaking of idling for cards. How old does your account have to be before cards drop? Set up an account for my daughter last week. She has a couple of games 12+ hours that have cards but no cards have dropped.

soild snake sucks

Solid Snake gunned down Venom, fought Gray Fox barehanded on a minefield and created a makeshift flamethrower on the fly to literally BBQ Big Boss (who was carrying a machine gun) to a husk. I'm pretty sure it's obvious who is superior here. Solid Snake rocks.

Nice to see Halo Wars come to Steam, everyone should buy it in hopes that Gears and Recore make their way here. Microsoft can support two platforms and be successful.

It bothers me HW:DE doesn't support cross-play with the Windows Store version. That version already has almost nobody online, so if the Steam version does get a few players I'd have to double dip on the same platform within a few months (granted the ultimate edition it came with wasn't too expensive) to play it online again.

Anyway despite its limitations I did still have fun with the campaign and some MP when I played it a few months ago on PC, and it looked pretty nice in 4K 60 FPS.

But that wrestling girl is cuter.


I'm thinking of switching from EA Access to Origin Access. You lose out on all the sports games, but to be honest even though I have wanted to play Madden, NHL and golf I haven't touched a single one. Origin Access had more non-sports games in their vault, too.

I also played a few hours of ME: Andromeda this weekend and I'm thinking about buying it. It's not supposed to be the best, but they've been fixing the animations and it's just a game style I haven't played in while wouldn't mind if it dropped in price a little.

Has been working fine over here for a week, nothing to report.
Had to reinstall a beta sound driver since the update rolled me back to the last stable, but that's about it.

Encouraging, what GPU do you have and did you notice any performance difference? It's mainly the Nvidia problems keeping me from updating right now, some people reporting Bayonetta dip to 30s in Creators but stable 60 before.

Is GFWL still online? I remember they were gonna shut it down, but then they never did?
I'm kind of wanting to buy The Club again, especially if I can get some xbox achievements.

I'm on nvidia as well. I did reinstall the latest driver after the update actually. I wasn't seeing anything funky happening, it was more of a "better safe than sorry" kind of situation. I haven't played Bayonetta yet so I can't say about that specifically.
