they didn't give enough of a fuck to even use ANY of steam's features ... so i honestly don't expect anything has changed since then
lol
Did you all read that Nexusmods was compromised? Just a small share of accounts, not all.
Thankfully, my login there had a unique password.

The Witcher is now on Netflix and the Entertainment Weekly review is stupid as hell. Reviewer gave it a 0, but only watched episode 1, 2 and skipped to 5.
I'm just annoyed that every review is "WUT ABOUT GOT!!??!!" and "WUT ABOUT LOTR"
Let it breathe on its own. I may not like it but you know, did every reviewer in 1977 review Starwars by saying "WUT ABOUT STAR TREK"?
I don't know what is happening but it sucks trying to use steam economy something addon when steam is getting access denied.. what can I do?

Almost finished with Witcher ep 1.
I like it a lot. 8/10 so far from me.

I think we need a Star Wars Lego movie to be released in theaters. Something to take the edge off the fandom.
i was gonna try and knock the first ep out before work this morning but didnt have an hour and hate stopping in the middle of things so ill plan on getting the first couple done tonight

I'm loving these Holiday sales.
A couple of hours before the Steam sale started, I redeemed a couple of Steam wallet cards.
As a result of Valve's changes, where purchases done with wallet funds don't earn you tokens, and redeeming wallet cards do give tokens, but only for those redeemed after the sale started, I missed out already on enough tokens for 2 discount vouchers.
As a result, I'm yet to buy anything on the Steam sale.
So, I checked Gamersgate. There's a game there that I wanted, and that was slightly cheaper than Steam, so I purchased it. And I redeemed a few of their "blue coins" on a €1 game.
Guess what: both orders (yes, even the €1 order that was paid with their blue coins, and not using a credit card) are pending validation for a few hours, so I'm still waiting for the games (despite having paid already). How awesome!
Talk about crappy luck.

For me Witcher Ep1 didn't really get interesting til near the end. Yes the fight scenes are really only thing going for it atm.

You're right.
Well, that is even more insanely stupid.
Talk about a huge step backwards.
Considering their current € to tokens ratio, if they had unlimited discount vouchers it would amount to about a 10% discount for each 45,45€ spent.
Instead, they go for temporary stickers and profile decorations (that will be gone in a couple of months), and continue to offer prices that are usually more expensive than other stores.
These Steam big sales keep getting more and more pointless.
Outside of getting a few games and DLCs that aren't sold elsewhere, there are plenty of places offering better prices, with Steam keys.
I need to join a "group chat" on steam... can I do that without randomly adding 2 people on my friends list to chat at once?
Its really messed up how badly people got punished for buying RDR2 on steam day 1 back on the 5th. Waiting 1 week would have been 12$ cheaper. Waiting 2 weeks would have been 12$ cheaper and you would have gotten tokens netting you another 5$.
Oh well learned my lesson to never buying a full priced game again in December (or anywhere within a month of summer sale) because that is some bs and Valve should really implement some partial refund system so other devs/pubs don't pull that shit. Also how come they didn't give people any retroactive awards this time? They could have excluded index sales if it was that big of a deal.

There is an EGS thread.
This thread is more fun.
Sweeny let me down today with the freebee, but at least they're not Volvo with this stupid coin thing. I do quests, nothing happens. Like, how much do I have to use steam labs?
Steam sale has been a letdown this year.
There's a metacouncil group chat made by Tizoc (I think) if you need one: Steam Community :: Chat Invitation
I bought Spyro full priced and it was in a humble bundle 2 weeks later (1 month after release)
In addition to your screen, your sound card (if it buffers too much data), controller (mainly if wireless), and headphones (if wireless) can all cause a noticeable discrepancy between what you see, hear, and input.
I could add you to mine, I created it just for this purpose

not yet, no
i even have it installed (since launch) ... just haven't gotten around to playing it yet
sorry
Alright Witcher TV is better than I hoped for! Only seen first episode so I'm excited.
Humble Original games that were featured in Humble Monthly and got steam keys added later are now removed. Everyone who haven't redeemed a key won't have steam keys anymore.
While it was great to add steam keys for Originals, it was not great that they never sent notice that they added them. So I never knew. Also, why didn't they request enough keys for all who got each Monthly bundle?

Finished HL2 Episode 1 and am onto Episode 2. Im carrying the gnome.
I forgot how bloody frustrating lugging it around was but also how attached to it you become. If i lose track of it during a fire fight i get in a panic and if it pings off after i accidentally blast it with my gravity gun i feel genuine loss.

y'all need some Knuckle Cracker games in your lives.

Creeper World is a RTS in which you fight blue goo (its behavior is based on heat flow dynamics... if I'm not mistaken the dev is an actual physicist...).
You beat each level by building a network of structures that produce energy and then move your weapons around to close off creeper spawn points (it's basically attrition warfare involving crowd control).
It has absolutely nothing to do with a clicker game, but oddly enough it feels exactly like one (at least to me).
I can't wait for Creeper World 4 (which is actually going to be in 3D).

Controller and headphones are wired so it shouldn't give me added delay in case I pick it up, I suppose...

Deques It's not the first time I say this today, but what an incredibly crappy move.
They don't give out any warning when keys are added (fortunately, a few fellow forum members gave the occasional heads-up about some keys being available, otherwise I would miss all of them), and now they won't honour keys for the rest of their customers who purchased the bundle?
Just awesome.
So, it seems I'm out of luck regarding Ethereal.

Speaking of heads-up, I have found many Steam keys on Indie Gala, which I could redeem. I think they were added afterwards to really old bundles.
It is possible that I decided not to redeem them back then, I am not sure about that.
Groupees also added Steam keys for old bundles a while ago, but you get a notification once you are logged on their website.
As for Indie Royale, I think I missed a few Steam keys before the website disappeared.

I don't think any bundle sites give a mail notice when they add keys to previous bundles. All of them are bad 
The new quest is up.
It is also mentioned that you can earn 2000 tokens with quests, which is weird because there should be18 19 quests with 100 xp each.
Maybe one day, there will a quest worth more tokens. Edit: 19 quests if there is one on the first of January.
I have just realized that there is a badge to purchase with tokens. It is nice that the levels are capped to 15.
So there are 3 badges:

So there are 3 badges:
- one with tokens (above), which grants 250 xp for 1000 tokens,
- one with trading cards, which grants 100 xp for a complete set of 8 cards, received after voting 8 times and exploring the discovery queue daily,
- one by completing all of the quests (6 on the first day, 1 on each of the
1213 subsequent days).

I just had an amazing idea, someone should mod in baby yoda in place of the gnome. The percentage of people who get that achievement would skyrocket lol.
Humble seems to get crappier by the day. So happy I never ended up paying for Monthly.
I was secretly hoping valve would fix the token issues but nah. I admit, I might be overreacting but I'm so fucking disappointed. The tokens in themselves isn't that important, it's the act. I know I shouldn't care but this year every goddamn company that I held in high regard has disappointed me.

As usual, I end up buying not the games I planned to, but some other stuff that caught my eye during the sale.
I struggle to pay 20-30€ for a "big game" I want, but I'll easily drop that same amount on a few indie titles.
Here are some of the games I purchased, hopefully someone may want to check them out as a result:
Plus a cheap double-pack of:
And the following game, which isn't discounted (it hasn't been in well over a year), but it was one I was looking to buy for some time now:

I was surprised that "True Love" was released on Steam:
I played the High Seas edition of this back in college.

Haha! True Love, one of the few I remember from back in the day.
True Love was probably one of the few H games that I enjoyed and I played a lot of them back in college.

Yeah, thinking about the whole lack of regional pricing makes me think about how one of my friends, who's PR for PM Studios (Musynx, Cytus Alpha, Deemo, etc) actually lives in South America, and he'd absolutely be getting screwed over if he wanted to buy the game on PC. He's a huge, huge fan of rhythm games (obviously), so it sucks to think about.
Hm? Didn't Valkyria Chronicles 4 give away free DLCs to early adopters or something or am I misremembering?
EDIT: Oh OK, plenty of people are writing down more examples under that tweet.
