Time to get over this Brexit business emotionally, drown my sorrows and play some damn games. What a bummer of a day/night. Haven't been able to think about anything else.

Isn't this technically what the Steam Awards were doing but they changed it this year?
My wife doesn't have any hobbies to distract her and despises videogames so it's a bit of a problem.
I rarely buy a game day 1 myself but next year is just crazy. The release schedule for the first semester is just absolutely insane, There are several games I absolutely want to play on day 1 releasing within weeks or even days of each other. I'll be playing catch up for at least 3 years and that's without accounting for everything that is already in my backlog...
Guys, what's better in terms of single-player content Injustice 2 or MK11? I won't play online, so, it doesn't really matter what has better netcode.
I'd never date someone that actively despises my hobbies or interests
I saw someone post on steam forums the other day explaining all the settings and best way to set up everything to look like eye candy without destroying your frames, having glitches, etc.
These worked great for me after a lot of inconsistent tinkering and everyone picking the game up now should really follow this. And obviously at 1080p I would have FXAA: on.

I got my pay from my new job. I used to maybe make $800-$900 USD at most in a month. But with this new job I made over $600USD in just one week!!!!!
The issue is that I don't have much time to play games though....
Well at least I will be able to afford a Valve index now and if need be I can buy a new graphics card.

This starts a bit like one of those "did YOU know that you can make THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS by working at HOME???" spams, especially with the exclamation marks. I thought you might be about to tell me about a great multilevel marketing opportunity
Seriously though, congrats!
You can be a MILLIONAIRE from HOME working for GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!

I was clicking for 2 minutes and it didn't redirect me anywhere (
Amazing how much the customer service on Steam improved in the last 2/3 yearsAnyway, Steam store best store confirmed.
Already own them all, which makes me sad that we did not get more ports like the Espgaluda games or Deathsmiles 2.
CAVE SHMUP on Steam
store.steampowered.com
All Steam released CAVE games in a bundle
I guess this is what it is like going from working part time for years to being full time. I sort of came close to it before when I was a pizza delivery person but that was because of tips (I think I would get something like $300-500USD in tips a month).This starts a bit like one of those "did YOU know that you can make THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS by working at HOME???" spams, especially with the exclamation marks.

Im very happy MS is releasing all their games on Steam/PC, means I don't need to buy the next Xbox.
Only need a PS5 and a Nintendo console.

OP
A big thing to not as well is that this is something that (I don't know about MS but I would imagine that they might be a bit more forgiving compared to the other two) this is the best that you would be able to get out of Sony,MS, and Nintendo.Anyway, Steam store best store confirmed.
Did you buy something from the eshop, did even download it or anything and want a refund? According to Nintendo FAQ stuff they will not allow that, it seems the only two times that they have allowed that was with Overwatch (because of the Hong Kong stuff, Nintendo/Blizzard even had to cancel the event for the N/S release in the New York store and the SMT FE game in Japan a few months ago). And even then from what I recall they would only give you your refund as store credit!
With Sony it is sort of the game, the big difference is that Sony does allow refund (sort of), the two cases in which Sony will give you a refund is if A) you pre-ordered a game but have not pre-loaded it yet and B) the software is defective (so stuff like No Mans Sky at release or the recent WWE game. I think they made this new rule after Fallout 76 but before the release of the WWE game. I don't recall people saying that they were able to get refund on PSN for Fallout 76. oh and I guess there have been cases where Sony just removes the game from your library because of how bad the game is and refunds you, I think they did this for that one Afro Samurai game). When they give you a refund they do it through store credit. Also if you do get a refund Sony will not allow you to buy that game again, even if it was fixed down the line (this may have changed, but I do recall that with No Man Sky they told people they could get a refund but would not be able to buy the game digitally again). The one thing that Sony does do good on is when stuff goes on sale, so if you buy a game today and all of a sudden it goes on sale tomorrow they probably will just give you store credit for the difference. So Sony would rather not give out refunds at all and instead just give you partial store credit at best. I think they got rid of the policy that said they will only allow you to refund one game per PSN account. Oh and let us not forget how PSN has a $5USD min amount for what you can buy. Is something on sale for $1USD well too bad you need to still spend $5USD to buy that game.
With Nintendo I am assuming they are more strict on refunds in general.
MS does do refunds now I think on Xbox stuff (I have talked to a MS person and told them I forgot to cancel my Xbox Game pass subscription and they gave me a refund to my card that I used)
For PC stores in general they do the whole if you play less than 2 hours and if it's within 2 weeks thing and that it will be refunded to your card thing.
WTF
Apparently teaser will be made available to Gothic/Elex/Risen Steam owners soon. Tube getting full of tubers playing it too. Looks good. Please be good. Just hope they will manage to make combat feel half decent yet just as hardcore as the original so that you can't cheese impossible stuff before getting normally appropriately powerful (or clever). And of course hopefully the world interactions and story aren't at all streamlined but developed further if anything.
Aw, so not quite a game just yet.

I'd bet they didn't sell well. No way Deathsmiles is worth $20 when everybody has been playing it for free for years.
They should roll everything together in a big collection like Capcom did with Street Fighter or SNK did with Metal Slug Anthology. Make it into something cool, and charge appropriately for it. Include Akai Katana, SaiDaiOuJou, and maybe even Progear if they're able to. It would be exciting and people would buy it. I'd pay $30-$50 for that, it's probably 20 games or so.
That weird Japanese "what's pc?" thing and pretending that MAME doesn't exist is still costing them.
And hell, could they make something new this decade?
Hasn't Gothic been remade like 6 times by now?
Why must you make this so hard for me...
Not ever, must be thinking of something else. Even if you count their non-gothic later games as spiritual successors/remakes/reboots there aren't that many.
The ancient originals re-released on Steam as-is have 4-5K largely positive reviews for good reason (probably plenty more on gog and elsewhere too).

Admitting that I play video games is the hardest part when meeting someone new. Thankfully my new gf doesn't seem to mind, I do openly say that I'm playing whenever she asks what I'm doing.
I did and I really like the idea, the artstyle and the two characters. Can't say I found the gameplay particularly exciting though.
Yeah, that's what worries me. I liked the things you mentioned when I saw the trailer but was wondering if it delivered on the gameplay front.
When ever some one ask me what I do in my free time I tell them that I like to read. Which is true, I like to read manga, LN, anime, video game subtitles, and forum post (oh and comment sections).
Now if only they'd listen to my regional pricing complaints.
Ehm....what? Why would pack preoders be banned here lol?
I can't preorder the 100€ pack in MTGA because of a bug
Only had time to play a few minutes of the Haven demo but I can see myself really getting into this one.
Also, that Easter egg in the RE2 demo gave me goosebumps.

I read somewhere they had money problems - no wonder when you don't rerelease your stuff.
So many great Shmups from them sitting on the 360...
So, I've tried almost every demo: Spiritfarer and The Drifter are the two I liked the most, I'll most likely pick those up when they launch.
Carrion, Roki, Acid Knife I recommend trying. They all seem to be very solid games and pretty polished already.
Eastward, Haven, Wooden Nickle and Chicory are also worth a try if you're so inclined.
Moving Out seems like a fun game to play co-op, not much to say solo.
I found Skatebird and Heavenly Bodies to be quite bad, to be honest.

PS4 sale! Purchased. I play these games with controller anyways so no benefit of PC input.
did you buy it? nice ... enjoy!
Holy shit the Gothic remake is a dumpster fire!
And those are just the technical problems. They changed everything from the original game so that it's beyond recognition. The dialog, NPCs, music, and world have all been erased. You spend the first 25 minutes walking through linear corridors and watching unskippable cutscenes.
What the hell were THQ thinking releasing this abomination to the public? It's not only an insult to Gothic fans but humanity in general.
- Early PS3 graphics
- Sub 30 fps
- Missing animation frames
- Horrible Australian voiceacting

That's unfortunate with the despising. That kind of thing is actually true for me too, except with my board game night. Video games turned out to be the better compromise for me because at least I'm home for it.
Again communication is key, let her know this is important to you and which releases in particular you are looking forward to and hopefully you can come to a compromise.
OP
Is there a quick way to check directly from the library whether a game supports Steam Cloud? I used to do that with the list view.
Edit: It is the "information" button.

I played the Eastward game and the combat was the thing that I didn't like about the game, everything was really cool though. I also tried Chicory, I just didn't have much fun coloring stuff. System Shock was a bit confusing because of the controls that I am use to in a FPS game but I think I will be getting that one.
By the way what are all the differences in keyboard keys? cherry, tactile, linear, mx?
Do all of you use a mouse pad? I never had one and wondered what is the point of them? Do the sensors in modern mice get gunk on them?

Cherry MX is the brand, linear switches go smoothly up and down as you press them, tactile ones returns a slight bump each time you press a key and tactile & clicky ones also make a clicking sound. Usually Cherry MX Brown switches (tactile, non-clicky) are the most recommended because they work nice both with gaming and typing, while Cherry MX Red and Black are usually recommended for those who want the best keyboard for gaming, as they are linear and faster to press, the Black ones are a little heavier; Cherry MX Blue are my personal favorite because I'm a weirdo (I don't use them anymore but I loved them) and have a nice satisfying clicking sound each time you press a key, they're usually recommended if you do a lot of typing. There are more switch available but these are the most common ones.
If you have a store near you or feel like spending 10 bucks on a useless but nice-to-see piece of plastic, you could pick up a cherry mx tester on Amazon, it's a small thing with a key for each switch so you can try which one you like the most.

I use a 5 dollar monoprice mousepad. My mouse just (quietly) glides over the thing, I do love it. I used to use the Steelseries, but that had to be replaced.
Monoprice XL Precision Gaming Surface - Black Mouse Pad - Monoprice.com (it's absolutely huge btw)
I might have to pick up another, I've had this for over 3 years now.

The latest Total War Warhammer 2 patch proved the end turn times dramatically indeed. What a huge difference!
As a result, I'm doing another campaign now...
