Not directly Steam related but I'm kind of confused why people recommend Avast as an antivirus. It seems really terrible - constant notifications, constantly trying to get me to install and buy their PC optimization software, somehow snuck in the Avast Secure Browser past me and had it as a startup item in Windows. Is this really one of the less annoying options?
I know Windows defender isn't the most secure but I'm so sick of the antiviruses being so goddamn annoying all the time. Windows defender just exists silently in the background and does its best.

After years using piles of security software, and antivirus (and several times I experienced issues, from performance problems, download corruption, and more), on my latest PC, I have been using only Windows Defender, and so far it's getting the job done.

Minotaur Arcade Volume 1 will be released on December 21:
I've been using only Windows Defender since 8.1. I don't see what's wrong with it tbh. MS keeps it updated multiple times a day depending on your settings. I even turn off the live-protection and just let it run scans in non-active hours. These days Windows 10 is also smart enough to not run these scans when you game.
Other than that it's just smart and safe browsing. Don't download weird stuff. uBlock Origin, NoScript. I control all traffic in and out of my browser this way basically. Annoying to setup at first for sure but you settle into it. And once you get all your daily routine sites setup you only have to fiddle with things when you visit a new site for the first time.
One thing this showed me over time is really just how much tracking crap is on the net. Constant tracking scripts everywhere even in places you normally wouldn't expect. And uBlock's element picker is a god send. Don't like something on a webpage? Click it with the element picker to open a box that lets you add it to a blacklist and bam, you never have to see that element of a page again.

Totally agree with everything you posted, and don't have much (anything?Edit: None of this is directed at you, Pixieking, I'm just trying to address some of these points, and points derived from said points, and still-irking me things. I am not under the impression that you are suggesting the Epic Store is great or anything here
) to add, but thought I'd post just saying I didn't take your reply to me as specifically against me. 
Aw man, I was actually going to buy this. Epic Store is going to have to make a lot of changes before I'll touch it. If MS got me to touch the Windows Store then anything is possible.

i don't know either .... but it's pretty much the same for me as the quotes below .... been exclusively on win defender since win8 ... haven't had a single problem yet .... but then again - i don't go clicking random shady-looking stuff on the internet, so maybe it's not that great with stuff like that (not saying you would, but some people are like that, haha)
OP
I used to use Avast, but the constant ad nagging made me uninstall it and started to use Windows Defender. I used it maybe a year, then I tested to install a new AV software and scanned the computer and found a few viruses. I am not a person who visits suspicious sites, but still my computer was infected and that made me not trust Windows Defender anymore. It might have been improved since last time I used, but never I won't use it again.
Right now I am using an AV software that is provided by my ISP, which is a reskinned F-Secure Antivirus.
OP
I just deleted Avast a couple of days ago because of its constant pop-up ads and other annoyances. The last straw was that it wouldn't let me open a file I knew was safe and just kept sending it to their own servers to vet it. My only fear is that I'm on Windows 7 now because of a hardware issue I have with W10 and I don't know how safe Defender is on the older OS.
A few years ago my university had licenses for F-secure for all students, but they didn't renew it. But I see now that they have Cisco AMP now for employees and I'm technically employed there now so I might check that out.
If not I'll have a look at this.
Finished The House in Fata Morgana last night, after a month and a half of starting it. Got the true ending, and since I only had seen one other ending before that, I gotta see the others before I can move on to another game. Absolutely loved this masterpiece, and I can't recommend it enough for VN fans. It has romance, it has drama, horror, comedy, it has a little of everything. It made me laugh as much as it made me cry, or squirm in terror and disgust. It totally nails the atmosphere. The music complements the story perfectly, and the latter becomes really interesting once you get past the rather boring beginning. It grabbed my attention and didn't let go until the very end.
This is definitely one of my all time favorites. I won't stop thinking about this picturesque cast and the many tragedies that befell them for a long time, that's for sure. And the best thing is, I still have the expansion/sequel to go through! So thank you to whoever it was that originally recommended this game, you couldn't have been more right.

The uppercase L gives more weight to your username, as if to say "Lock up your daughters, shoot your sons, because Lashman is comin' to town!" (I totally didn't steal that quote from one of Vice City's radio commercials)well akshully ... it's "lashman", not "Lashman" ... all lowercase
I liked the story a lot. It was just a series of random stories at first, but if you keep playing it all starts making sense and you learn how they are all connected. That's something I loved about it, the way it makes you go through the same events from different perspectives and see each character's motivations and feelings. Plus, the music is incredible.

Well, I like "boobs" as much as anyone, but I was just checking the Steam page for NetherWorld, a new game that lashman linked to on another thread, and on the "more like this" section I came across a game called "Boobs Saga", from a developer called, guess what, "Boobs Dev"?
And there's even a prequel called "Bloody Boobs"?
Such, originality.

If gog.com really thinks starting its Winter Seal so close to Steam's its prob. taking all this 'competition' talk that's been going on online a little too far.

I'm starting to wonder if these games are made by guys who never saw a naked woman before.

Anyway, and getting back to SFW topics, today we have quite a few launches:
And leaving Early Access:

Has anyone used the store "Dreamgame" (Dreamgame | Official Retailer Game and Software Keys).
It's listed on isthereanydeal, so it should be safe, but I never heard of them.
They are the cheapest option for a DLC I wanted to purchase.

I was just checking, and they don't have a Paypal option.nope, sorry
I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving my credit card details to a such an unknown store, despite the isthereanydeal "validation".
I guess I'll have to go for another option.
So this is Metacouncil, uh. Seems nice here - hello guys!

First post since registration, OniluapL was probably too afraid to say hibut ... you've been here since Friday
So, here's the thing, funny story. I created the account and then forgotten about it because... My uni email had expired (it's a redirect to my normal email), and I couldnt finish the registration (I renewed it, I think it's working now). Then I remembered and went to finish it but my account seems to already be fully working? Did I find a loophole? This post was actually a test, lol.but ... you've been here since Friday

New games have been added to GOG.com Connect.

Yes Fata Morgana was an incredible journey. Went to some really dark places too.
Plus how often do you see a gothic Japanese VN?
Nice, I added I Have No Mouth and Shadowrun Dragonfall. Never played them on Steam, and I'll never play them on GOG, but it's still nice to own them.New games have been added to GOG.com Connect.

Whenever it got dark, it got really dark. I'd love to find more VNs like it. And today I discovered there's an extra episode (called Reincarnation) included on the Vita version of Fata Morgana, so I hope they release it on PC one day.

Try launching the game on Steam, close it, and then press the refresh button on the GOG Connect section of the GOG website.
That usually fixes the problem.
If anyone is doing the alienware daily login quests thing, I somehow managed to get a steam key for Life Is Strange 2 Ep 1 . I might have just been crazy fortunate, but they seem to be promoting it there for anyone who already has an account (and in USA) and fancies their chancies.

Seems to work pretty well to me.
Watched Aquabro today. Overall nice movie, it has its issues and I can understand some criticisms but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.
Visuals, Action and fights were top notch
As is Spiderman is currently the better of the 2 but you can't go wrong watching either.

LEGO formula is something one needs not to play back to back or too much in one year. It can get boring trying to 100% the games :Shope you'll enjoy it
I'ma leave this here though.
If reincarnation isn't a part of this:
I would be quite surprised if the PC version doesn't get the update in 2019 when the English PS4/Vita Version is localized.
