What was it? When a cosmetic sells for $10 that already seems absurd to me, $920 is mindblowing. Edit: Oh it says it there, a CS-GO gun skin.

There's no hope for a 30-40 something making this transaction. That or valve is back to being a go-to choice for money laundering in this pandemic filled world due to real-fake business not being able to legally operate. I sold a foil card for 4 bucks yesterday and thought that felt big time. Sivek fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Galaga Galaxian posted:Wireless MS Laser Mouse 5000? It's the super duper basic and bluntly-named "wheel mouse optical". Judging from reviews on Amazon and Newegg I wasn't the only one who loved the things. Sadly all that's left are outrageously overpriced listings and knockoffs. Cleaning and repairing it isn't really the problem, getting the dang thing apart in the first place is. The screws are all hidden under the rubber pads and one was super glued back into place years ago. Basically it's not outside the realm of possibility, but for the moment I'm fine with switching over to the Razer I bought months ago anticipating this exact circumstance.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:How is War of the Chosen if I thought the base XCOM 2 was decent but not great? Is it a big overhaul or just a "more of the same" kind of expansion? It's pretty good, but I don't think it'll redefine it for you. I'd say the worst parts of WotC are that the zombies can become a chore (especially their reveal action cam shots) and the titular Chosen chat to you a lot and are very easy to beat for how much they sass you. It's also more story in a game you'd hope to be replaying a few times which can feel repetitive if you do.

That's actually the way to do it. Well, it may be slightly less useful if you just run each area a single time and call the game done.

I went ahead and got the Humble Bundle thing because I like Hitman and also Zachtronics. But uh... what did I actually get with Hitman 2? It says I can buy all the levels still and the only thing I have greyed out is Hawke's Bay which it says is free anyways. Did this do anything?

The levels from Miami to Isle of Sgail are included in that key. Also start those new Hitman games once, and quit after you get to the main menu. They phone home and can unlock stuff in Steam in a weird way. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Apr 13, 2020 |

Also the boss fights rely on adds more than I’d like. All over it’s definitely a great coop game. I really like the mechanics in general.

My friend hooked me up with the old Windows XP versions of spider soliatire and a few others, so yes! I have wasted entirely too much time on it already. Here is the zip You need the .dll file in the folder. I recommend putting on some chill music and playing. Note that the undo button is finicky in both freecell and spider - it works, but you have to learn its rhythms. PS she tossed in pinball as well, it's nowhere near as good as Pinball FX3 or Zaccaria Pinball, but it's super nostalgic.

Anyone played Super Arcade Racing? I just saw something about it pop up in my twitter, and it sure looks like something that would check a lot of nostalgic boxes for me inhabited with memories of RC Pro Am, Micro Machines, and Rock and Roll Racing. But I suspect whether that game successful captures the appeal of those games depends more on how it feels than how it looks. Anyone have hands on experience?

Not buying another mouse from them anytime soon. In my experience, unwanted double-clicks are usually caused by a small amount of grime building up on the switch and can be fixed by opening it up and gently cleaning the switch. I’d look for videos for the particular model, but it’s usually not too hard and you can usually skip any “take apart the switch” steps by sliding a small piece of paper between the switch and contact a few times.

I'm watching a playthrough of Half Life: Alyx and have to say, it's a bit of a strange experience. Not really quite like what I expected, really. The gameplay honestly just isn't much of anything. There's a gun, you point it, it shoots, it's very basic. There's very few enemies and not a lot of ammo either, which almost gives it a bit of a survival horror feel. A much greater difference from classic Half-Life games is all the dialogue, though. Alyx is constantly talking. There's incidental conversations about everything, which really surprised me. It's really driving home how awful the storytelling and characterization of the Half-Life games is by comparison. I'm already more interested in what happens to Alyx than I ever cared about Gordon Freemon through either of his two games. I still can't see them actually giving Freeman a voice role in the next Half-Life game (if that ever happens) even though they've just reminded people why silent protagonists kinda suck. The purists would just flip their lid and is Valve nothing if not stuck up about that kind if thing.

I bet Valve could hire Morgan Freeman to voice Gordon Freeman if push comes to shove. [fake edit] Honestly the best way to have Gordon talk to people would be through sign language.

I agree with most of your post, but the gameplay really doesn't feel "basic" when you're doing it. Creeping down hallways, pushing doors open with your gun, dropping the mag when you try to reload in a hurry - it feels like plenty of gameplay to me.
