Be Excellent To Each Other

Fucking Zaphod wins everything.

When I buy things of of Steam I don't "buy them for myself", which would cause them to be added to my steam library. Instead I simply turn them into giftables which sit in my inventory. Only then if I want to actually play them do I activate them. This way when I buy a load of shit from a sale and later realise I don't want them I trade the games away and try and get something I do want.

And my wishlist is full of random crap I added purely so that steam would stop asking me about it.

I just unticked the "highlight for wishlist" option and now it's at least highlighting things on the front page that are already in my inventory.

That calculator isn't working for my profile right now (:(), but using that is for noobs. NO TRUE REAL HARDCORE ULTRA GAMER wouldn't not track their spending #gid=0" class="postlink">via a spreadsheet. (Thuogh I haven't updated it in a while... and LEGO Marvel isn't even on there!)

EDIT: AHA IT WORKS NOW

I do not beat Zaphod

I don't think you can reasonably expect the service to deal with this situation. Well, you can, but you'll be disappointed; and rightly so.

HARDCORE

My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)

I think you might just beat everyone there.

Really quite suprised I've the amount I've not played is only 53%, I expected it to be a lot more.
And how can my Steam account be worth £1348.30? Is that including the normal steam price for things I got in bundles?

You scrolled past a big old itemised list of costs to get to the bit you copy and pasted.

Thank fuck we have Zaphod and Pod here. There's a reason why I stay the fuck away from my PC when there's a Steam sale on:

It has options to do exactly this! It's just the programmers of it thought that something in your wishlist trumps something in your inventory, even though one of them represents "what I have" and one "what I want".



Looking at the "completed" thread I'm sure other people must easily rank up waaaaaaaay more gaming hours than I do, they simply don't do it via Steam Plus, I've had that account for a long time.... on the other hand, I've easily put bazillions of hours in games not on Steam (e.g. KSP).

Like Grim said, look at the list! But it's basically market price, not what you paid for.

I'll be having some KRZ then.

Oops.

Add Pixel Pirates, Next Car Game and Kerbal Space Programme to the list!

You played one game a lot?

It *might* be football manager related!
I have 519 hours on FM13, 431 on FM11, 151 hours on civ4.

Damage so far in this sale:

Castle Crashers
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Steamworld Dig
Brothers: A tale of two sons

Quick, is Sleeping Dogs worth it? (4€ that is)

I played Sleeping Dogs for about an hour and it seemed ok in a generic open world kinda way.
It didn't raise itself to the top of my play list though.

I love Sleeping Dogs.

I wish you'd just let it lie.

I've made about a fiver in trading card sales this week.
Admittedly i've spent about £60 in the sale so far, but that doesn't count...

I have spent £2.99 so far. I think I've reached Peak Steam.

I've got around 60p for the 'free' cards you get while voting :-)

I've spent bugger all on PC games in the past year, so this sale seems to have hit the sweet spot for me.

It's brilliant, it's totally worth 4 Euro.

I am, as ever, a rank amateur:

My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)

• Worth: £39.93

Dishonored and Civ 5 seem awesome deals, but I think they might kill my computer.

Thought I might as well get System Shock 2 to see what the fuss is about since it's a quid. Also purchased Tower of Guns, cause it looks facking insane, for a fiver.

Nothing for me out of the current sale, I usually log in at least to see what the daily deals are but I can't even be bothered with that.

I think you get to the point (like I have) where there are so many games in your Steam list that have never even been installed, let alone played, that buying anything else just seems stupid. Even if I can buy a million brilliant games for 99p, if I never play any of them, I've still wasted 99p and my list of unplayed games gets longer.

Plus I've racked up 60+ hours on the Wii U this month (mostly across just two games!), and then there's Hearthstone too of course. Steam and Origin aren't really getting much use at the moment.

So far I've indulged in:

Hotline Miami (yes I know, I'm the last man in Christendom to buy it)
Medieval Total War / Kingdoms
BG2 Enhanced (it's just gone on sale...huzzah)

I'm thinking about buying football manager but I'm afraid of what it can do to my life.

Championship manager 2 made me forget to eat.

I need to lose weight. This sounds like an acceptable dieting system.

Well...you won't loose much calories either. But give it a try.

So, i ended up not buying FM2014. My overall haul:

Burnout Paradise
The Walking Dead S1
Shadowrun Returns
Steamworld Dig
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Sleeping Dogs
Castle Crashers

I don't want to post mine, as it's got some embarrassing crap in there, but it comes to about £80

I relented and got early access to Wasteland 2...which comes with Wasteland 1 and Bards Tale.

Planetary Annihilation tempted me in this sale, picked it up for £10. Shall give it a whirl this afternoon I think.

I bought Civ5 and The Stanley Parable.

Civ5 seems exactly the same as the others, but with weird rules around units and cities being able to defend themselves.

TSP I know almost nothing about, but people seem to like it round these parts. I suspect I will need to plug in my speakers for that one.

You will need to hear TSP, you can't play it in silence.

Aye. That just means I have to wait for everyone to go out or to bed.

Ooh, I have headphones!

So the same people who were outraged by Hatred (temporarily) being pulled from Greenlight are now complaining about Pregnancy being put up on the platform.

Remember, freedom of expression is only important when it's something you like.

How do we know they're the same people?

Ok, same group of people. GGers, AKA whiny pissbabies who think the feminazi illuminati are infiltrating vidya to instigate cultural Marxism.

I'm hardly the target audience for either, but hatred seemed like a massive shit stain designed for "edgy" teenagers. Pregnancy is, at worst from the paragraph I've read, a propaganda machine for whatever viewpoint is writing it. At best something useful written by someone with experience in the matter...

The video clearly shows both pro-choice AND pro-life viewpoints.

It could still wildly slant one over the other, though.

It could, yes. Have you watched it?

Also Call of Duty wildly slants towards glorification of war, but that's not a problem.

I watched it well before it was cool.

Yes. "at worst"

There are some people I wouldn't trust to be able to create an even vaguely balanced view even if they tried.

I agree.



I do not agree.
