Could Valve be working on an AMD-powered gaming Chromebook?

I hear you folks appreciate fair and reasonable regional prices.

Also PC is getting the old-gen version.

Take2 shitting the bed, as always ... that Argentina price is literally half of most people's monthly salary in there
also - welcome back!
Is that a new record for ARG? I've never seen other game which had over 800% price increase in that country so far. It's really bad news for legit customers and I don't think the situation will get better.I hear you folks appreciate fair and reasonable regional prices.

It seems like some pubs are going for the route "we don't care if a single true Argentinian can buy our game as long as we can sell it elsewhere". Sad news for sad times
Also, once they are done with ARG, I'm pretty sure region switchers will find a new home and the same story will repeat itself again
So, there's going to be a new forum called "tCoucl" then?omg, YES!!! Valdien, please!!!
When you remove the anime from Anime Occult, you're left with only the Occult.

it's not about region switchers ... it never was ... even at their worst sales from Argentina was like 1-2% of all sales ... that's NOTHING
they just want more money ... from everyone

FWIW that price is about half what I pay for rent
There is not a single country on that list that doesn't have a completely insane and dogshit price. That's quite the accomplishment.I hear you folks appreciate fair and reasonable regional prices.

They're asking people in the UK to pay £85 - EIGHTY-FIVE-FUCKING-POUNDS - for a basketball game that will no doubt be riddled with microtransaction and live service shite too. The absolute fucking gall of them.
While I'm a pretty frugal person and my costs nowhere near reflect most people, my share of the weekly food bill is usually somewhere in the region of £20-£30, so it's basically costs about three quarters of my monthly food shop. It's about a third of my share of the monthly mortgate. I pay less each month in council tax.
And as I said, I'm very frugal. I have a lot of disposable income on a good wage, and I've got no kids. How the hell do they expect people on lower incomes to afford games at this price? What the actual fuck is wrong with them?

Haven't done this before but I just have to gush about Chicory: A Colorful Tale. I finally finished it up today and I absolutely adored the game. Not many games bring a smile to my face in the way this one did and then turn around seconds later and turn me into an emotional mess.
It's a truly beautiful game. I'll include my Steam review in a spoiler tag if folks are curious to read it. I wish I could have been a little more eloquent typing it but I'm always so scared of spoiling anything in my reviews, especially so with a game like this that I loved. So I try to keep it simple and to the point.
They also hint/joke at a potential Chicory 2 in game and I can only hope that they get enough sales to make that happen.

glad you enjoyed it!
Like the Bloodborne port, any 'Valve is making an X' I'm treating as false until it's released or confirmed by Valve. Until then people hear lots of things and find lots of signs in code that point to some mythical thing that ends up being nothing.Could Valve be working on an AMD-powered gaming Chromebook?

Yeah, it's insane. $16500 after taxes. Not even PS5 games are that expensive.
You guys don't want to play that Basketball game anyway trust me. It's geared only toward whales and MTX'd out the wazoo. It's like FIFA but basketball. Just don't do it.
Next person to mention Bloodborne in this thread will have to do a giveaway of 5 full price games.

that's pretty much all of the sports games nowadays
yes FIFAs career mode is usually absolutely untouched by the MTX.
NBA 2K s career works in a way that you need MTX to actually properly progress or you will grind for days

wow ... that's just ... depressing
especially after all the stuff they've been promising when it launched on steam
Imagine paying full price for a basketball themed casinoI hear you folks appreciate fair and reasonable regional prices.

OMG Thank you Acidote ! I've never won anything in my life before
. Can't wait to get PTSD again lmao
don't wanna wake up to things like these man, at this point we aren't even getting any rumors and now I've started to disbelief
So looks like I will finally be back to working in the office sometime in the next few weeks.
While I am looking forward to being back in the office and not being stuck in my flat (you only realise how small a flat is until you spend pretty much a year and a half living & working there) there is one thing I will miss. My lunchtime gaming sessions.
I think I have played more games over the last year and a half because of that. Getting a session in at lunch time also encouraged me to play in the evening. So I think I need to make the most of it while it lasts.

If you don't plan to craft badges, then sell your cards. Gems are needed to craft booster packs, in order to get more cards to complete your set.
Fuuu, 27 entries for Rimworld. And I wasn’t confident when I entered when it was 4
Someone made a game about me? Time to sue.
I am more of an extreme case, but I managed to get about £80 (80 euros/$100) selling cards last year. Took a week to idle my library and a month or two to get there. I will say I have over a 1000 games in my library at this point.
I did it again a month or two ago, sold about 100 cards. Managed to get another £2.00 back.
I wish my government was treating it as seriously. In England, the Scottish and Welsh have decided that people still need to where masks. Our clowns in government instead want to trust the British public judgement on masks (and I have a very dim view on the British public, and I am one of them).Meanwhile in my arse end of the world...
Five days is nothing. My whole country is being shut down for a full month.Meanwhile in my arse end of the world...
Here in Austria our idiot chancellor declared the pandemic over a few days ago (for, I dunno, the 3rd or 4th time now?) if you're vaccinated and restrictions are being lifted.
Today the health ministry just said they're thinking about restrictions for people returning from travels and the night scene again, cause infections are rising faster than expected again.
Clown shoes.
But I guess that's what you get when you have a narcissistic self-absorbed PR chancellor who only cares about announcing good news regardless of how much sense they make or how feasible they are instead of actually doing a good job.
At least everyone who can get vaccinated can do so and by the time I'll have to go back to the office in September I'll have both my shots as well.
(Our company lets us keep doing some home-office but wants the people in the office at least some days a week. Company goal is 3 days in the office, 2 days home-office per week, I've negotiated to have it the other way around
)
One day I'll reach the post count to read those messages!
