Community MetaSteam | December 2019 - Halo! Is It Me You're Looking For?

[EdwardTivrusky]

Well, i figured the Rune II situation was going to turn into a shitstorm but i didn't expect it to assplode quite so quickly.
What a sad and seedy, scummy end to what could have been.

 

[Tizoc]

One more week til TEGSA

 

[Li Kao]

Yup, it happened. I couldn't correct my bank account soon enough for our bank overlord taste (I did, they just treat checks slowly, it seems). I'm now, once again, unable to emit check. Yeah, happy December, too.
I'm very aware of the downward social mobility effect these days. Reminded about it daily.
I'm tired.

Sorry, needed to ramble a little.

[Eferis]

I finally got the purple lightsaber (I'm actually using the indigo one) after 22 hrs of playtime


Why this late, Respawn?

 

[Li Kao]

And to expands just a little on financial woes, I promise I have no follow up post in mind :
I just made a resupply run two days ago. It's Christmas time for supermarkets, chocolates are here, toys, etc. Business as usual. And then I see a big spotlight stand filled with... pasta.

You won't convince me something is not slowly rotting. Hey, it's Christmas plebs, buy pasta !

 

[lashman]

i like pasta

 

[Li Kao]

i like pasta

Yeah, can't argue with that, which monster doesn't ? But as a Christmas product, it stinks

 

[texhnolyze]

I would eat pasta everyday.

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

Rune II

What happened now?

 

[Eferis]

I can cook you all pasta for free. Every day of the year.

- a guy from Italy

 

[lashman]

But as a Christmas product, it stinks

yeah, i suppose, lol

I can cook you all pasta for free. Every day of the year.

- a guy from Italy

i'll be there in 5 minutes

 

[Eferis]

yeah, i suppose, lol

Capitalism got you covered

Pasta with personality!

 

[Li Kao]

I didn't plan to go there, but hey. I've got a complicated relationship with pasta. As the son of a loving father whose parents where Italians, I ate pasta, every 2-3 days. Succulent pasta.
Then I lost my father.

Now he taught me how he cooked it, but between me being generally very critical toward myself and this loss that 4 years in is still eating myself, I don't like pasta that much.

Ok, I think that's it for the sad posts, I can talk about video games too, sometimes.

[prudis]

OMG. I just got an email saying my Steam controller will be delivered today!

I was convinced it was going to be cancelled due to the stock shortage.

got mine yesterday ... looks nice next to the baby

 

[Li Kao]

Paranoia releases today on EGS for 30 bucks. You can buy it for 12 on cdkeys. I expect that they will offer us money to play it in a couple of days.
"Just another launcher", am I right ? Or am I right ?

 

[Eferis]

Thanks for the reminder of what is releasing on the EGS because I would miss 100% of these releases.

Visibility and stuff.

 

[MJunioR]

I got a Book of Demons 60% off coupon, and I don't have any interest on it. Does anyone here wants it?

You too ? I believed I was special

Oh and...

One more week til TEGSA

What's a TEGSA ?

 

[MJunioR]

You too ? I believed I was special

Both of us are special, don't worry

i'm the most special tho

 

[lashman]

What's a TEGSA ?

The Epic Games Store Awards (also know as The Keighleys™)

The Epic Games Store Awards (also know as The Keighleys™)

Valve gave some love to Keigh, so it won't be that bad. Just call it the "Death Stranding" Awards, featuring "Death Stranding", Kojima, and Kojima's best friend.

i fully expect that entire thing to be sponsored by Tim yet again ... and have an egs sizzle reel - like they did last year

and volvo will be streaming all of it again on steam

also Kojima, yes

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

SO...what exactly happened with Rune II within the last day? I know what a horrible launch it was. Google isn't bringing anything up and the poster that mentions it doesn't even say what it is lol

The suspense is killing me.

 

[Li Kao]

Eh, sorry I didn't plan to OT further but this is becoming laughable. The check I sent to correct my balance just cleared. It is now listed just after the rejected payment that forbid me to make checks.
I think I just divided by zero. The call to the bank will be fun this afternoon.

Rune 2's publisher is suing the former developers for control of the game's code

Ragnarok Game is suing the former Human Head Studios to gain control of Rune 2's source code and assets owned as part of their agreement.

From my understanding, Human Head Studios refuses to release the source code to the publisher of the game

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

thanks! Dang!

 

[Panda Pedinte]

Day and night difference.

Some day I'll have a RTX capable card

 

[prudis]

heh, PlayWay of of things ... challenges Epic

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Well, although I already bought MCC when they put the pre-orders up, I started with my monthly purchases, so far my December acquisitions:

I'm sticking to my buy list pretty well, so expect the few left to be bought too:

I'm just glad I'm not the only person who keeps spreadsheets of this stuff

Valve to counter egs sizzle reel with HL Alyx gameplay video that is twice as long while also explaining how the implementations of vr are used with the game.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

This thread needs more Waifuuuuuuuuuu!

I hope you don't mind FunktionJCB, you'll get a free bump from me
I'm jumping on your boat, but I'm looking for Invisible Inc from the Jingle bundle

I posted about it on the BTS thread, but got no luck there

I haven't decided if I'm going to buy the bundle yet, too many repeats so far. Vermintide will be next up I bet. But if I do, I'll keep it aside for you.

 

[prudis]

today is the day, the first EGS exclusive comes to Steam (RDR2 today, Hide and Seek + Hades in 4 days, Ashen in 3) and also want to remind you that spreadsheet still exists and I keep updating it for fun weekly, so if you are interested, please, check it out as much as you want

And while I don't want this thread to turn into an EGS debate, here's the "before and after" versions of this spreadsheet since December last year until now. (as it will be soon the first anniversary)

December 2018

December 2019

I think I improved it in a lot of ways and I really hope this spreadsheet has been useful for all of you at some point during this year. I really appreciate all the feedback I have received from you during this 365 days.

 

[Milena]

Thanks for the awesome work, Mor.

I couldn't possibly remember all the companies and games I need to avoid for a while without your sheet

(next game from the Book of Demons devs)

[Le Pertti]

Whoa! I loved Book of Demons! Ah sweet memories of homeless life, spending Christmas alone in a Starbucks playing Book of Demons.

 

[RionaaM]

(notice Void Bastard in the background)

Thanks, but I'll pass. I haven't felt the urge to subscribe in the past, so I don't see a reason to begin now under threats of a higher price in the future. All this worse deal is gonna accomplish is ensuring I'll never subscribe in my life.

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

I have two coupons:

60% Book of Demons
80% Crypt of the Necrodancer

Just done with written school exam in English Britiah literature. I wrote 17 pages by hand in 5.5 hours. We were not allowed to write more than 20 and we had max 6 hours. My right hand is hurting.

Wow that sounds like pure torture to me.
