LOL? Okay?
I personally loved the alien robot-thingy in SimCity 2000, but I usually unleashed destruction when I was done with a city. I didn't normally play with disasters active.
But yeah, I love to mess around and create crazy things and make life miserable for my citizens.
However, I'll try to be nice and actually build a proper city this time

whoa ... that certainly was a loooooooooong time ago
Haha, yeah. 1996 in actuality, though.

If anyone cares Rockstar apparently have released the Heist DLC for GTAV (PS3 but I most probably PS4 too). Which means after getting through a bunch of updates yesterday I now gotta download another 1.3GB which takes ages on the PS3. Talk about bad timing. But despite the horrendous aliasing, pop-ins as far as the eye can see, rubbery framerate and PTSD caused by the horribleness of the DualShock3 I think I'm going to slog through the main story and not bother with the PC version until much later.

Nope. Not even close and I doubt there ever will be.
More power too ya. I couldn't hack it on the ps3 and gave up.

Sometimes when I have had a few drinks and am on eBay, I try to convince myself that a Roland MT-32 would be a good investment.
Then I start to think about building a 486 for old PC games and blackout.

I might be in-market for a soundcard too. My cases headphone plug has crapped itself it seems (The case is three months old goddammit ) and the onboard audio has this noticeable humming noise when in game.

Is you audio cables braided with your power cables or something? Or they are stripped somewhere in the case. Try the back, just get a 1m 3.5mm audio jack extender or something.

The Soundblaster Z is very good after years of Creative not giving a fuck. Stay away from the predecessor (Recon3D).

Worst AC yet.

Yeah, my case was a Christmas present and the other day I noticed that the front headphone jack was delivering left-side audio at a lower volume to the right side. Fortunately the motherboard's own speaker jack still works fine... for now.
That narrows things down.
Yeah, I saw the Z listed in the I Need a New PC thread and looked at some reviews, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth a further ~$80 (i.e. almost 2.5x the cost of the DGX). Maybe I'll change my mind when my DGX inevitably fails.
Pre-order retroactively cancelled.

For the first two, I don't think so. I hear the humming when I am moving my mouse on the desktop or when I am in-game (any game). I have always had issues like these with onboard audio. The board is Z-97.
What do I do if a gift is sent through Steam to a person on a friend list, but does not show up in the friend's Steam Client ; gift shows up as an email, but only gives the message "This gift has already been redeemed." when the link is clicked?
It seems odd to me it looks and behaves normally in one's gift inventory, but can't seemingly be given away at all.

Yeah, I was thinking about using my old Pentium 1 ThinkPad for older games and trackers, but can't find it anywhere. Hopefully my mother didn't give it away ages ago for some charity or whatever. Or worse, just threw it away.
Alternatively there's a 486 IBM at home I might try to resurrect.
have them restart the steam client

Your friend probably activated the gift already. Check his/her library if the game is present. If not, contact Volvo support

In the 90s I had a Roland SoundCanvas SCD-15 daughterboard which you could plug in/on a Soundblaster card and get sweet MIDI music. Doom was never the same.
I'm punishing myself in the process and they already got my money two years ago but when I sell it and put that money into the PC version they'll get a nice sum again. Not sure I want that. Would've done it a few months ago (or not, didn't get in on the China deal for whatever reason) but all those delays, their general attitude towards PC and the questionable DRM situation (always on?) slowly killed my desire to support them on day 1. Also I really hate replaying story heavy games and already got about 1/3rd into the main game.
Restarting Steam does nothing nor trying it on a different computer. It was never activated either because it remains in the original inventory. Thanks for the replies though.
I'll ask Valve Support, but I'm not going to hold my breath on getting any help from it.

Sauce 2 screenshots from Volvo's GDC demo ... if anyone's interested
they should have added more than 3 colours
If you still have it in your inventory, you can send it again, just send it again.
I've never encountered glitch like this, tho

I see about 50 shades of beige. Though that sounds more like senior citizen Twilight fan fiction
That was my point, what's with constant teasing?!

I'm very particular about colour count in tech demos, very particular, shades of same colour just don't cut it, even if in thousands.
you do sounded like that senior citizen, I must admit

Does the game show up on the account history page? I have a used copy of Jagged Alliance 2 Gold stuck in my inventory because it didn't disappear after I activated it.
I'm trying to sell my sound card as I was convinced I didn't need one.. and JaseC buys one - thereby issuing the royal decree that a dedicated soundcard is imperative for any self-respecting SteamGAffer
Nuuvem pls

Well a Xonar DGX (replacement for the old but relable DG) is cheap as chips and as long as you set it up correctly Dolby Headphone give's games without a binaural mix but 5.1/7.1 sound a welcome boost.

However good onboard sound has become, and that varies strongly from board to board/vendor to vendor, a dedicated card is often preferable. Though I'd say the one JaseC bought isn't that much better (sorry).

Really looking forward to the online heists. I thought that was one of the real missed opportunities on release, the heists were really fun. Can't be bothered with the PS3 version again, so I'll wait for the next delay until it's finally released on Steam.
no Hotline Miami 2 keys.

Can't really judge with those images. Not only are they very small but while presenting a new engine something more "fancy" should be portrayed.Sauce 2 screenshots from Volvo's GDC demo ... if anyone's interested

An error has occurred during the download operation. And it starts at the beginning again. And 1.3GB on PS3 take about as long as 20GB everywhere else.
Good to know. Here's my Steam wishlist. Give games pls.
Yeah they went up here in Australia.
It's only money though ¯\_(ツ
