go to menu Game -> add non-steam game, browse and select Dolphin emulator. I think this also works for big picture mode and in-home streaming. yw

My steam experience is AIDS free because I use it to easily manage game installs and don't add people I don't know and I have no idea what cards or hats are about because it sounds like concentrated fail. It's like, a store for games with good sales

Gamestop and bestbuy remade the PC section into the STEAM section.

Also enjoy your Unoptimized Xbox One ports for the next 8 years PC Gamers.

First of all retard, Steam isn't a gaming platform you can port games to. It's a digital distribution service. gently caress you

So the PC version of Metal gear Solid 5 is just going to be the port of the Xbone one.

like it's a straight port because it means the team doesn't have to deal with two flavors of Microsoft app fuckery.

Also expect the same thing for Final Fantasy 15.

Considering that people have well over dozens of games that they have bought but not played and that these same people have triple digit hours put into dota, he's made a very accurate observation.

Like someone has 1.7 hours in Revengence, 3 hours into skyrim and then 900 hours into dota 2 and their top 3 played games out of a library that's 255 games long.

I support people playing games the amount that they enjoy playing those games.

Also 3 hours is more than someone should play Skyrim.
