(Previous threads: 2012-2014, 2014-2017, 2018-2019) Regular maintenance happens about 4pm PST Tuesdays. If Steam goes down around then, that's probably why. Head to Steamstat.us to verify that it's not just you. Want to join the official Something Awful group? Head thataway. Want to post a giveaway? Don't do it in this thread, it'll be lurked by who-knows-what. Instead, head here, where it's permanently sheltered by the paywall. That way, you'll know a goon grabbed your gift. Feel free to organise group buys of multipacks here, though. IRC. Still kicking. Details here. If you prefer Mumble, we've got that too. Discord? Pick yer poison. Found a piece of trash on Steam and want to mock its existence? The thread for that is over there. No, G2A are not legit, don't buy from them. It's the goddamned Steam thread, you know why you're here. Post about PC games. Don't post about other clients. Game Reviews & Recommendations: Just follow TooShyGuy's group, curator page and dedicated website. He's the best and hardest-working reviewer in this thread.

FAQ Shamelessly Stolen from Delusibeta I have a problem! General rules of thumb to try first: a) If it’s a specific game that’s having problems, right click the problem game > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity b) If that doesn’t work, or if it’s a client issue, shut down Steam, go to the Steam folder, and delete/rename ClientRegistry.blob, then start Steam up again. c) Restart your computer. Works surprisingly often. The Steam client is super slow! Try either of these: a) Go to Settings > Web Browser > Delete Cache. b) Alternatively, launch the Control Panel, go to Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and uncheck “Automatically detect settings”. Uplay is broken! Since Assassin's Creed 2 in 2009, nearly all games on Steam come bundled with a required launcher called Uplay. The problem is that nobody updated the installers, meaning that 2009-2011 ish Ubisoft games now attempts to install a completely broken launcher that refuses to update. The solution: download the new version of this client first. Trust me, this saves a lot of headaches. This game/DLC sucks/just went on sale after I bought it/is busted/. Can I get my money back? With some exceptions (that tell you prior to purchasing the thing), yes you can, so long as you've bought it within the last two weeks and haven't played it for more than two hours. If you're within these rules, full refunds are available, automatic and are (largely) quibble-free. Is G2A/Kinguin/G2Play dodgy? Yes, very dodgy. These sites resell keys. They don't give a crap if said keys are stolen or fraudulent. You are strongly advised to avoid G2A, G2Play and Kinguin. And remember:

Hello steam thread, can you recommend me a game with the best anime titties?

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW poo poo! YEAH YEAH YEAH, YEAH YEAH Leal posted:Hello steam thread, can you recommend me a game with the best anime titties? Best is subjective Tits are objective, so try this game Also in response to my question for miniLAW in the last thread: Section Z posted:"REMAIN UNCONSCIOUS OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES" The constable droned in a casual monotone, a third (208%) headbutt finally dropping the white collar perp that thought wearing sunglasses at night was a good idea. The next gave up immediately, after being shot in the rear end with a single standard issue handgun round...Then I took 75% of my health bar in damage to a paint can on a string Home Alone style trap. Ow, I bought a helmet upgrade, damnit! Thanks! I'm able to get it for under 5 due to the coupon so I'll check it out. It seems interesting enough.

Ground floor. I think everyone in here should get Demoncrawl because it's the best minesweeper RPG you never knew you wanted.

Deep Space Waifu just released a third game. It is very fun and the least-likely to draw raised eyebrows of all the anime titty games.

Goodnight, old Steam thread. You had a good run. Let's kick this off with some questions then: Decided to restart Witcher 3 since I haven't touched it since February 2017; had some mods installed for it with Nexus Mod Manager, but when I went to get one someone suggested and I didn't have installed, it seems now NMM is deprecated and something called Vortex took its place? Well, thing is, I tried importing my mods from NMM into this Vortex thing and it looked like it worked, but it crashes my game when trying to launch. Went back to NMM for now and I think I can add the mod I'm missing manually, but should I try and troubleshoot Vortex, or is it just not worth the effort just for W3?

There are tools for Witcher 3 mod merging, you might want to try running one of those.

Shrecknet posted:[*]Enhanced Steam is a plug-in for Chrome, Firefox and Opera (and eventually Edge) that takes the Steam website and adds pretty much all the fixes you want from it. Want price comparisons right on the store page? You've got it (powered by Is There Any Deal ). Want to know how many players are playing that multiplayer game you're about to buy? This puts that information right in the store page. Want a quick way to throw your cards onto the Marketplace for slightly less than the lowest card already on there? Available with this plug-in. Want the page to remind you how much you've spent in the life of your Steam account? That's a feature! Highly recommended for everyone to use. Note that Enhanced Steam isn't being supported by its devs anymore; Augmented Steam is the new hotness.

Anyone ever try Heroes of Hammerwatch? Looks like a fun game to mindlessly fart around in and scratch dungeon crawly murder itches with.

# ? Jan 2, 2020 01:41 |

What is this "clearing" of backlog you speak of? E: ^ I haven't played Heroes yet but the original Hammerwatch was pretty fun if a bit repetitive and mindless and Heroes is supposedly an improvement on that. Jagged Jim fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jan 2, 2020 |

Starting the new year with about 520 games in my backlog. My goal for this year is to be below 300 by the end of the year. We'll see if that happens.

GrandmaParty posted:Any last minute indie recs before the sale ends? Astrologaster. It's a visual novel telling the story of Simon Forman. It's laugh out loud funny in parts and overall excellently put together. A full playthrough will take you 4-5 hours. The Death of Erin Myers. This is a very well done point & click telling the story of how the protagonist ended up dead. As you might imagine, this is not at all cheerful. It's about an hour long.

Divinity Original Sin 2: normally my playstyle in these things is to be thorough and do all quests long before I ever move on but tutorial island gave me a black cat to escort to safety and no way to pick it up or otherwise direct it away from murderous guards so I had the person it was following stand back while the rest of my crew murdered their way to the exit in a direct line and it's safe now. Now I can go back and do stuff.
