For some reason my tower PC has decided that any Steam game being played for longer than 20s results in a hard crash. Meanwhile GOG, Blizzard, & Twitch games cause zero crashes.  Anyone ever have that issue before? It's not a BSOD either.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Steam install may be corrupted or may be on a bad disk sector. Reinstall Steam and run a disk checker. It's a clean install of Steam on the harddrive (that had previously ran Steam games fine when I was in the USA) along with a clean install of Windows 10 too, but I'll do that I guess though I don't know of any good disk checker programs. What does a bad disk sector mean by the way? Klaus Kinski posted:Yes, check this first. Install to another drive if possible. Otherwise, One thing, since you mention PSU, is that this is a computer I used in the USA just fine (all the hard dware is the same), but then got a power cable so I can plug it into a 220 outlet. That, maybe, would be why but why it doesn't happen during stuff like Witcher 3 on GOG is beyond me. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Aug 22, 2017 |

MysticalMachineGun posted:Not sure if it matters much with SSDs, but with old style hard drives the various platters that spin to make up all the storage are allocated as sectors. A bad sector could mean some corrupt data is in that sector or there's a minor hardware fault with it. Unfortunately I don't know any good disk checker programs that aren't stashed on ancient CDs I've got from my old IT helpdesk days or I'd point you in the direction of one. It's on a normal HDD so yeah, maybe moving it all to an SSD would be good.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Also I picked up Shadow Tactics, and it's fantastic. I had one small moment of frustration with the game getting stuck and refusing to let me do a downward jumping kill after I used the non-lethal attack, but it hasn't recurred, and otherwise it's exactly what I thought and hoped it would be. Shadow Tactics is a good game.

I really just like this game, and I've been getting back into Hearthstone lately as well. It's been a good period for people who enjoy digital card games.

Grouchio posted:Should I be caring at all that a shitload of gaming videos on Youtube are being demonetized, slowly turning youtube into a kids-only platform? I think it's a problem yeah. YouTube's new advertiser stuff is really loose and it's caused innocuous stuff to get flagged without much word or response from Google because they don't believe in talking with content creators who are flagged. Especially when it comes to outright bullshit flagging a la DMCA abuse that goes unchecked (see Jim Sterling v. Digital Homicide, Alex Mauer's spree etc.) YouTube were flagging stuff for simply having a word in the video title that it deemed to be bad. A lot of YouTube channels discussing news etc. have lost a lot of their monetization because it's deemed advertiser unfriendly, plus stuff in the title will trigger it like "bloodbath" when discussing a video game space battle in EVE (which occurred to a channel I know). Oh and there was also YouTube channels doing Pro Wrestling stuff because apparently that was deemed to be hate speech or something dumb because the YouTube system is stupidly flawed. H3h3 did a thing on it and how it's caused issues with their channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn46t8NksX0

If you're saying that Nerdcubed should get some of your tax dollars to create his videos about Legos then I'm onboard with that. vermin posted:That's always been my thought on it*. When YT started out, everybody kept their day-job. They were just doing the fun time videos on the side. Moving to making videos for money full time sounded like a bad career move, but I guess loads of people thought otherwise. I think Youtube is all "Oh good, they're moving to Patreon" at this point. Nowadays it's no different of a job than say, working for a television network. Except that you get more creative control over your own product pretty much all the way through, which for creative people who work in the enterainment industry is actually kind of nice. Look at Geek&Sundry, Felicia Day's company, they have a bunch of staff for just production, and that's a good thing because those are jobs for people who work in the entertainment industry doing various roles (stage tech, editors, etc.). We're well past the point of "YouTubers are only people who aren't good at doing anything else" stage. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 23, 2017 |

Norns posted:My stupid point is these creators aren't actually risking anything. They are using YouTubes services for free. They didn't go through any screening or application process. I'm not sure why these people expect to make money? Mostly because YouTube's whole thing has been "anybody can make video content, and make money off of it" since day one more or less.

Closed-Down Pizza Parlor posted:This was a few pages ago but I do this (flagging youtubes) for my work and the guidelines explicitly state to flag stuff that has profanity in it beyond what you would hear on network television. I don't necessarily agree with the guidelines, but it's not all just an algorithm or w/e You get paid to go through and flag any videos with cursing in it? I have a crazy idea for YouTube, invest in customer service/better methods for communicating with their content creation partners (not Joe Schmo with 200 subs, I'm talking the people who have 4mil subs and hear nothing from YouTube ever).

I don't mind being relentlessly critical and negative as long as the possibility of real improvement exists, and if I focused entirely on broad trends from AAA developers as they compromise on every aspect of the genres I enjoy, I would lose sight of that for sure.

Oh and playing Starcraft Remastered is good and cool and you should all replay the campaign from SC1 & Brood War. Good poo poo. Made me go out and buy the digital version of the WC3 games and I'm playing those through again, and once again it's all good poo poo. Olive Garden tonight! posted:It's no more online than the other ones. It's not an MMO. Frontier and Monster Hunter Online are the 2 MMO ones. Oh. I don't know much about that series so I just assumed MHW is the online version. All I know is it's supposed to be on PC and that's good. chumbler posted:I had no problems with the ports of either game, while others have had it run like rear end, if at all. It's all up to whether you want to roll the dice, I suppose. Yeah. I heard more "it runs like rear end" than "it runs fine" reports. Olive Garden tonight! posted:who and why? Laura Kate Dale is a transgender games journalist/writer who writes for Kotaku UK and is all around a nice person. She made a YouTube video series talking about butts in video games and comparing character butts because why not I guess. Anyway, she's been doing a series of articles about harassment related to video games and online stuff and her most recent article was with TotalBiscuit and more about the nuts & bolts of how to deal with that stuff (shutting off YouTube comments, blocking, having moderators etc.) which is fair since he's one of the more notable/longstanding YouTube people when it comes to games (regardless of if you like him or not). Apparently the article got published on what is the "anniversary of gamergate" and people got made at LKD over the piece talking to Totalbiscuit (who I guess was somehow involved early on in it all) and then started to harass her to the point she just up and quit most of her social media platforms so she'd stop being harassed by them. Not trying to start a Gamergate discussion or anything. Just saying it's a lovely thing to happen to someone who was doing a good series of articles about harassment, and got harassed as a result. Her non-article stuff was pretty entertaining and fun if you are of the "video games are not meant to be super serious all the time" mentality.

Macaluso posted:It probably didn't help that she collaborated with TB like right after he made that "don't be mean to Nazis" post She was on his podcast a bunch over the years and have been friends for that time. I don't think that's reason enough to harass her into submission because he said stuff those doing the harassment don't like, but that's my view on things. I wrote stuff with her over at small indie game news site a few years ago so I'm a bit biased.
