In celebration of this weekend's Comic Market in Japan, we are having a sale including many Japanese indie titles at http://store.steampowered.com/sale/japaneseindiefestival



Check it out if you would like to grab some indie titles at record discounts.

You know, I bought a game on that list yesterday thinking "there's no way in hell this poo poo is going on sale soon. It's just some loving obscure anime game."

I need to start trusting my gut instincts.

It's almost never worth unpacking booster packs. They're worth more unpacked, and the chances of getting a foil is incredibly low.

This isn't always true, but this handy site lets you know the market price of badges, vs the average price of 3 cards in the set.

This is a weird non-issue really, but I've been unable to google up a reasonable result. Does anyone know why my, "You're going to a link outside of Steam" browser warning when clicking on a link in chat appears in French? I'm in the U.S., I don't have any French games or languages installed and my proxy plugin is not on. Not a huge deal, but it slightly annoys me every time I see it.

Whenever I go to the Steam website in my browser, it's always either in German or Italian. I don't run any proxies or anything like that.

Not to mention instant gratification of a sort. I've listed booster packs and had them sit for days on end. I typically just unpack them and end up selling the cards immediately. It's typically just a matter of pennies in either case.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
I'm trying to rebind controller keys for Risk of Rain. I use DS4Tool to play PC games with my PS4 controller. It works just fine in Risk of Rain but I don't like the ability bindings at all. So I go to change them and it absolutely will not let me change them. At one point I managed to change everything except being able to bind anything to Left Trigger. For some reason Left Trigger is the enter key while navigating menus and if I hit it trying to rebind something to it I'd end up just disabling the gamepad.

I ended up going into the config file and edited it there. Double checked in the options menu in game and it showed the bindings I wanted. Went into a game however and it was the default bindings still.

Could anybody help me out, please? I'm enjoying risk of rain but the bindings in the game are just awful, for both keyboard and controller. I basically had to rebind the abilities from ZXCV to QWER but I can't rebind the abilities on my triggers and I don't think I can change the game from using the analog stick to using the D-Pad.

Apparently it even goes through unistalled games? I just got 100% Orange Juice and haven't installed it but the program is still idling it.

SAM can do that to. It doesn't need the game's files, it just needs to pretend that you're playing it.

Yeah, even SAM just goes by what Steam says you own, not what you have installed. You're not running the game, you're accessing the Steam identifier to fool Steam into thinking you're running the game.

Given the Japan sale, is it still worth the $6 Humble Bundle for Ys Origin given that Ys and One Way Heroics are the only games I'm interested in? One Way Heroics is now $1.74 on Steam.

Yep, since Origin by itself will probably never be below 5 bucks, so you might as well shell out the extra buck and pick up the other games.

If you liked the old FMV Tex Murphy games, very much worth it.

If you've never played the old FMV Tex Murphy games then its very much an adventure game straight out of the 90's. Unlike, say, Broken Age from Double Fine, Tesla Effect didn't really update the mechanics at all. It's not quite as bullshit hard since everything isn't pixelated but all the things you know and love-hate are there; items hiding in ridiculous places, random item combination puzzles, dumb puzzle minigames.

But if you ask me it's all worth it for the FMV :allears:
