Post subject:  Re: Steam
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!)

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.

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?

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 :P 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.

Post subject:  Re: Steam
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.

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 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.

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...

It could, yes. Have you watched it?

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