https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/1268252532746395654 This means, if you don't own the game, you can't look at the package info and get all kinds of nifty info. And it's the end of looking into the Steam database for leaks of upcoming games that no one were supposed to know about. These tokens are global, so the same token for a package/app/depot is used by all owners/users. SteamDB has been relying on a bot to get package info, but since the bot doesn't own all the games on Steam, they can't get info on new games anymore. You can help! SteamDB has been using a Token Dumper for some time now, to let people run it against their library and get the tokens from games they own and share them with SteamDB. https://steamdb.info/tokendumper/ If you got obscure games, often buy brand new games, are part of closed betas, or just have a The Joe Man sized Steam library (less will also do), please consider helping out SteamDB by reading up about Token Dumper and run the program.

No Wave posted:As far as I know the vast majority of gaming addictions are due to online PvP content. Ranked ladders will suck away thousands of hours of your life in an instant. If you stick to offline single player games you will be avoiding the worst of it right off the bat. Yeah I already stopped with most PvP games. My old age was making me slower and turns out if you're not good, playing against people that are is kind of frustrating. The problem with good singleplayer games is they usually end so much sooner. And then it's like..poo poo, how do I fill this vooooid? I have nothing to play! (scans through 100's of unplayed games just waiting to be installed) Nothing I say!

How do you feel about sandbox games? Terraria, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, etc. I've sunk at least 200 more hours into Terraria since the 1.4 major update... but I still find time to make the factory grow some more in Factorio, too. And KSP can be very addictive if you like the whole launch stuff into space thing.

LionEyez posted:Hey so since this is the defacto all pc gaming thread - how do you guys deal with gaming addiction rearing up? Make sure you break up your gaming with exercise and some sort of creative work, preferably something that is done away from the gaming device. Set a specific time for exercise each day to give yourself a little extra motivation to stop playing and actually do it.

LionEyez posted:Hey so since this is the defacto all pc gaming thread - how do you guys deal with gaming addiction rearing up? more seriously though i've been gaming a lot less as I've gotten  , and my steam purchases have fallen like a rock to probably a dozen a year. I usually only play games when they've got a new and shiny feeling and have no problem buyting a lot of indie games for full price because it means i'll actually play them right away and interested. when poo poo sits on my library for awhile i just kinda lose interest and probably will never play it. As there isn't a lot of new and shiny stuff that catch my fancy, I usually just don't play very much. I'm not into multiplayer games that much anymore (in part because a lot of them are not my cup of tea or just kind of bad now like Battlefield 5). Most of my gaming time just ends up being Deep Rock Galactic.but yes also try to do some reading, work out routine (even if it's a lovely 20 minute run 3x a week, thats good and you 'll feel better about yourself), maybe try to do some podcast gaming (snowrunner is great for this, or tower defense games like gemcraft or kingdom rush games).

Gaming vs irl: - get a dog so you have to get up regularly for walks - hold things like family time/social time to be sacred. Gaming is cool until you wake up one day with no friends or family. I don't have specific "every 6pm talk to someone" type advice but basically don't pass up opportunities to talk to folks. This also goes for phonecalls, chatrooms and posting here. Being social is good for you and being able to tell someone about how cool it is you're level 500 feels great. - Try to mix and match. Gaming is cool but so is reading and watching tv and stuff. Podcasts also work here. Basically try to have diverse interests that encourage curiosity. From asscreed origins leading me to read about egypt to how playing Doom led me to read the free pdf on how id software programmed Wolfenstein 3D I appreciate the gaming more and have stuff to talk to my friends about. - One more practical piece of advice: set a bedtime and keep it. I stayed up late playing rimworld last night and I regret it. Okay, I acknowledge that none of that advice will help if you get so addicted you can't stop playing. Try setting a timer or get a therapist, that's beyond me. Either way game safe and post about it in here.

One of the goon discords consistently gets 2-5 people to play titanfall 2 several nights a week for the past month. The more the merrier. For those who have never played, I only have 20 hours in it on pc and while I still run into really good players there are still plenty of newbies and average players so it’s not always a stomp. I also tend to find easier matches when I play in the am (west coast us) compared to the evenings.

If you have a stationary bike at home, Mahjong Soul is on tablets and doesn't require much hand-holding. Play three-four rounds and you've done an hour of solid exercising. Mahjong is cool. So is the bird.

Thinking about unexpected Steam releases that may easily fly under the radar...here's FirstQueen1 NEXT, the remake of an old Japanese strategy RPG. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1277320/FirstQueen1_NEXT/ The English translation seems basic yet acceptable. Giantbomb has the following description for the original game: quote:First Queen is a 1988 PC-9801 RPG that combines traditional turn-based RPG gameplay with large-scale strategic battles. This game, the first in Kure Software's First Queen series, introduced the Gochyakyara ("Multiple Characters") system that allowed many AI companions to fight alongside the player character. It features a tactical pausable real-time combat system with real-time strategy elements. I distinctly remember staring at the Super Famicom version in old magazines back in the day. The combat looks chaotic but also kinda fun, so I might give this a try.

Croccers posted:I feel burned by Phoenix Point and I played it on GamePass! Its incredible how loving bad Pheonix Point was. If it came out in 2004 you’d begrudgingly accept it because it’s not like there were any XCOM games so maybe you’d try to wring some fun out of it, but releasing that at the end of 2019 when there’s tons of turn based tactics/strategy games out, including XCOM ones, in that state? It’s insane.
