Turfahurf posted:Maybe it's been discussed before but this thread moves too fast for me to keep up, but what are people's thoughts on the DLC for This War of Mine that dropped recently? It seems like it adds a new layer of gameplay and a thick layer of depressing subject matter which is good, but it also kind of sounds like it's just a lot more micromanaging without much else added. I wouldn't have thought that game could get much more depressing, but woo-boy, they went and added kids

I know some folks in this thread have enjoyed my stories about the steam hat economies, Idle Thumbs just released a compilation of the various emails I've sent in to them with breakdowns and stories around tf2 and such trading. It's a good listen if you're curious, the steam marketplace is a weird one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF52sL2wi1c&hd=1

Palpek posted:Hey, can you tell me if there was any noticeable impact from the authorization requirement on the Steam market? People waiting 2 weeks to post an item etc. That being said, if you do not have an authenticator, there is Winauth which allows for using a Steam download for it to attach a Google Voice number to, which lets you authenticate stuff without having a smartphone if you're unable to get one.

It's an okay game, it's reception was more about all the side stuff being stripped out to sell as DLC, there's very little to do outside the story path unless you stump up more cash. The main game is reasonably fun for that price.

Turtlicious posted:What's up with Witcher 3? I tried it once a few months ago, and I didn't get the hype. I've played 1 and 2 which were jank incarnate, and 3 has a million quests that all have voiced lines, but are still variation on "go collect bear asses" I remember that I had to hunt down a werewolf, and it just wasn't fun, I got lost a few times, and the witcher sense wasn't helping me at all. Is getting berated a fetish for you or something?

Captain Invictus posted:Yep, this is absolutely the case. Keep in mind this does not protect you if your PC gets compromised, however, it's not really 2-factor authentication so far as you're logging in through the same device for both steam and the authenticator, so if you get your PC compromised they may be able to get access to your steam account. The point of the phone authenticator is to have two separate devices so you're able to keep your stuff safe in case something goes wrong on your PC. In the podcast you mention you have a lot of actual physical goods from DOTA2, TF2, CSGO stuff you bought for digital goods, do you sell those as well or is that too much of a hassle to ship?

It must really suck to be a Gearbox employee and be working on the DLC for Battleborn knowing full well that all your work is going to be played by a few thousand people at the absolute best. On the other hand it must have been great being the character designer who got a paycheck for shamelessly copying the gentleman steampunk robots from Sir, You Are Being Hunted and calling it a day.

 1. Banished 2. StarTopia    Somehow we made it through the 90s and 00s without a truly classic space station simulator. You would think Deep Space 9 fans or Babylon 5 loyalists would have pulled something together, but really all we have is StarTopia. Despite the novel premise I never really got into this one as a kid, it being more Dungeon Keeper than I had hoped. Revisiting it now I see where it deserves a lot more attention than it got, and also why it was so overlooked. StarTopia sets you up as the administrator of a classic donut-shaped space station. The first thing that may throw you off about your position is that you're not actually building the station, just filling the interior. Each station is sliced into a dozen sections with three decks each, a service deck, a leisure deck, and a bio deck. You construct buildings within these cavernous spaces that provide all sorts of services to your visitors and residents. These are anything from space motels and bathrooms to research labs and penitentiaries. Most structures can only be built on a specific deck, and in fact you can't build anything on the bio deck, just adjust the landscape for growing different plants. The result is a game that plays much more like Dungeon Keeper in space than a proper space station builder. Each visitor to your station is simulated, and you can watch them walk around, spend money, and see what they like and dislike about your digs. They also have stats that apply to their job if you hire them, as many of the buildings you build must be staffed. Hiring can be pricey if you go for talented employees, and in fact the economical side of the game can be quite difficult to keep balanced. You need a healthy mix of basic services, entertainment, industrial production, and trading to keep flush with cash, which is actually energy that keeps your station humming as well. There's enough going on to find yourself overwhelmed just keeping up with the basic operation of your station, to say nothing of garbage piling up or spies planting bombs around the place. There's a five-part tutorial that'll teach you the basics of the interface, and then a ten-mission campaign that drills down on the different aspects of stations. You might have to run a medical station, or a trade hub, or take over a derelict station from squatters. The first five are almost like an extended tutorial, but the latter half can be intensely challenging. A mission will generally take you about an hour but the more difficult ones might need several restarts, their striking difficulty almost requiring foreknowledge of the mission's quirks. If none of that sounds appealing there is an incredibly customizable sandbox mode where you can set victory conditions and individual difficulties to your whims. The basic 3D graphics have held up surprisingly well over the years, from picturesque views up the curves of your station to the little details on each of the aliens. Sound design also remains up to the task, with plenty of understated sci-fi effects and an inviting soundtrack. The big thing that might throw people off is how incredibly British the presentation is, with a dry AI assistant and plenty of off-color humor in facilities like love nests and space discos. Honestly it feels like a sim set in the Hitchhiker's Guide universe, and if that sounds like a good time then you'll get plenty of mileage out of StarTopia. And even if it doesn't, there's a clever, if not perfect, management game to be had.

pentyne posted:In the podcast you mention you have a lot of actual physical goods from DOTA2, TF2, CSGO stuff you bought for digital goods, do you sell those as well or is that too much of a hassle to ship? I've sold some of it but the majority is still in boxes. If you're interested, I've got a thread where I'm selling them among other things for dirt cheap. I still have a few large boxes with like 150 giant winged donkey balloons in them, I tried donating them but since the bags were opened to get the item card, they wouldn't take them, and the party supply store I talked to wound up going out of business before anything happened, so...they're still here. I'm actually going to be sending a mailbag to the Idle Thumbs guys with a variety of dota stuff in it(among other things) because I know at the very least Sean loves that poo poo.

So i'm finally getting around to setting up the mobile auth so i can eventually start selling poo poo again, and oh my god this is loving awful. First it kept telling me there was an error with my Steam Guard status. I googled, and it turns out i had to turn off my wifi, click the link, and then turn my wifi back on and click retry. Then i got to the page where it said they had sent me an SMS, but i didn't get one. So i clicked resend, and got the SMS with the code... And then the code doesn't work. I try to hit resend again, but they just send me the same code. The one that doesn't work. Valve is really garbage at making functional software
