How do you change the Steam directory location? It used to be simple iirc, but with the new UI I'm told I can't have a second folder on the same drive.



Could try faking it by pointing to an empty folder on another drive, moving the original folder where you want it on the original drive, then pointing Steam to the new location on the original drive. Haven't tried this myself.

Might work, but that's a slightly ridiculous solution. Google hasn't come up with anything better, though (an alternative is just uninstalling everything).

Did Valve not anticipate this being an issue?

(and yes, I'm doing this for modding purposes on a secondary computer I didn't anticipate running MO2 on)

I just listened to a youtube video of all of them and it's not as bad as I remember (I could have sworn there was a second female unit that was way worse than the ranger but there's not I guess?) but yeah, this is like 3rd in the cycle of Ranger voice lines so it triggers constantly and it feels out of place and makes me imagine weirdo devs:
"Sooo tired... last night was amazing"
Since I handled their first game, I was prepped to handle TaB as well and we were recording new lines to replace the current lovely ones. My actress & I wrote some new lines to replace those weird/inappropriate ones but the devs were absolutely insistent that those lines stay in and then decided to keep all of the terrible old recordings anyways.

Weird poo poo.

looks like My Time at Portia's followup My Time at Sandrock is gonna be waiting a while before it can release... I was wondering why it was taking so long given that they're well into closed beta, but then I realized that Pathea is a Chinese developer, and Chinese game certification right now is kind of.. hosed and frozen.

their current target is January, and they'll keep working on the game in the meantime since they do have a player base from the Kickstarter backer tiers who get an early key.

they're trying to enforce new moral standards and it's completely gumming up the whole process. for example, effeminate men are now banned from chinese games, as is switching genders of any historical figures, but the biggest thing is "no ambiguous morals" which is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, but also means that like.. even presenting a choice to the player is going to require a ton of scrutiny. so it's just completely hosed everything there.

sandrock has been trying to get their game certified since before these standards got decided, like back in early spring. so there's already been gridlock

Since hearing that the dev for Always Sometimes Monsters was a massive, massive loving creep to women and the game is basically "stalk your ex, the simulator" I'm convinced anytime a game creator makes such a huge deal over a feature like that it's a major red flag about them.

And the whole video game stricter regulations thing is confirmed by Chinese state media. Don't believe everything you read about China though, because America has been stepping up its propaganda machine and spreading a lot of misinformation about what is going on over there. I guess a plus for the rest of us though, is that this has resulted in a ton of Chinese developed games coming to the west, that otherwise would not have.

yeah i'm just talking about video games

it's not the reason why Tencent bought stake in so many video game studios outside of China, but it ended up being very fortunate for them because they'll be able to weather this

Pathea (Sandrock/Portia dev) though, presumably is just running off Portia revenue and the remaining KS funds for Sandrock

I'm on my third trial for $1, but I've also had to pay the actual amount one time when I subscribed, so I don't know if it's based on how long it's been since you've subscribed or if it just resets after a while or what.

My bad. Simply moving the Steam folder (minus the unimportant parts) works (and Valve provide instructions). Steam just has to reinitialize itself after you relaunch it.

I have 68 hours in the Void Rains Upon Her Heart and I'm still finding new stuff to unlock and play with, and I'm still mastering the three game modes (with four separate characters!) and it might just be one of my favorite games ever, alongside being the best SHMUP I've ever played. I will go to bat for it, I genuinely love it and I can't wait for more of it.

i've been kinda waiting for it to ditch EA too. what i played of that game absolutely whipped rear end but I hit the content wall pretty fast at the time

prolly been more than a few new bosses since then tho, maybe i'll reinstall it

I wouldn't know how you'd hit the content wall now. It's got 463 achievements most of which have an unlockable tied to them, it's hitting Isaac levels of things to aim for.

Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 WATER monster you control (except this card) to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Raging Eria" is removed from your side of the field.
699/1015, seems fine to me.

Although my profile says I own 966 games so is it really 699/966?

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Checked out Far Cry 6 after learning Ubisoft had the $15 subscription thing and I've got to say, I kind of like it. I did skip 5 and New Dawn so I haven't played one in quite some time, but I still knew what to expect and the execution is pretty good. You're doing the same poo poo you basically do in all of them but they made all the ways to do it pretty fun. It's cool using the stupid super weapons, it's cool being able to airdrop into fast travel points using a wing suit instead of just spawning on the ground, it's fun to trick out your car with mounted guns and plows on the front and stuff. I find myself approaching encounters different ways just because the variety is enjoyable. I'm definitely just going to play it on and off for the month and then cancel, but I'm absolutely getting my $15 worth for what's basically a rental.

Yeah the "content wall" is pretty deep, unless you're just talking about the final boss. Pretty much every boss has two or three achievements tied to fighting them, many of which unlock yet ANOTHER boss with its own achievements, and so on and so on...
