Yo Jase why're you using a Shia leBouf avatar this time around?
Why you breaking your seahorsey avatar trend?

I thought she looked like Sam in LotR.

you guys should stop being hypocrites and hating on IF, firstly most of haters haven't even played anything of IF, I know, you can't hide from me, secondly their games are getting better and better, their ports are always good, and they fix everything what's to fix extremely fast, aside from Xseed I don't know any other publisher or dev that reacts to community complaints so fast. Thirdly, even Compile Heart is getting better if Fairy Fencer is any indication. This has to stop! steamgaf is better than that

or else I'll make my steam GOTY list consist only on IF games, you've been warned!



In other news I won't get to 200 level this sale after all, there are several factors that made this impossible: valve messing trades, atrocious card drop times made for less cards on market, meaning them not being cheap, unless some free or n-times bundled games.
General steam buginess doesn't help either, for example today I login into steam browser and again can't use market, because apparently I haven't bought anything on steam! That has to be most ridiculous bug ever, like the hell?



edited: now when we are getting quite lose to sale, only 5 hours to go, I am getting slightly excited, not sure why

Actually I am not one of them hating IF, I honestly like Nep Nep 1. Although I haven't played through it yet, despite me really wanting to :(
I wouldn't mind you doing steam goty list with only IF games :D

I have all IF games

The day of reckoning is here..I have 80$ in card money, lets see if I can find 80$ worth of deals to buy...

I'll try to stick to my 50€ plan, mostly because I still have many games to play or finish and I don't really need any new games, but that logic never works, hence - 50€

edited: those aren't card money, tho

you really should finish that Nep Nep, who knows, it might end on your GOTY list!

Wow, time really flies. In my perception it's been so little time since the previous Winter Sale and now we're back here, patiently waiting for deals to pour all of our savings on.

I'm not particularly holding my breath for anything specific this time around, since I already have quite a hefty backlog to delve into before even contemplating new titles, but we'll see.

Hm, looking through my wishlist there are only a few games I really want to get during this sale. Due to the lack of dailies/flash sales I also expect to be way less impulsive about games I'm uncertain about. so I doubt that I'll end up spending a lot this year.

The thing I'm most curious about right now is the new metagame even though I didn't bother playing the clicker one last year at all. Still, I wonder what they'll come up with this time.
 
I haven't used idlemaster in like a month or so but I thought i heard that it was having issues. is it working normally again?

Just wanted to know if I had to do anything when i got home today since I see myself trying to build a card warchest

valve changed how cookies work, so it can just stop working for no reason and does from time to time, you have to login anew, or edit cookies, other than that there aren't that many other issues, but if community servers will act the same way as during last Summer sale, you can forget idlemaster for a time being, it haven't worked at all for me all that time.

It'll probably be something that'll be gamed again with scripts. Mr. 1,000,000,000,001 badge here for lucking into a gaming the meta-game summer badge.

Though since I'm not spending a lot of cash this year (I'm gonna get a $20 card and get the Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star badge on Christmas) I don't think I'll get a Winter badge after getting the previous sale badges for the past two years. Blame the lack of dailies and flash sales for that, I guess.

Trade your unwanted games for store credit.
Which you will then use to buy more unwanted games.

oh okay, that's fine. I'll just check in every so often to make sure that it's trucking along. Thanks!

I have suspicion that this metagame (if there will be one, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't) will have something to do with gems, because they prices are very high and not dropping, while they should because people are crafting badges and gemifying junk.

fake edit: I just checked, the price slightly dropped in last two days, so maybe I'm wrong.

That makes no sense. Valve doesn't control gem prices.

For the record, I am yet to be logged out once when running idlemaster through the night - 8 hours or so. I am sure it happens, but the limits seem very accommodating.

that's not what I mean, I mean that some people know that it's gem related (or suspect, hope, whatever), that's why prices aren't dropping.
Wasn't that obvious?

yeah, it can run for long periods of time without logging out, but then again you login, go to sleep and it logouts right after, 0 cards gotten over the night, it happened to me more than I care to count, infuriating!

Then they would have steadily increased in the last days. They didn't. The value of them hasn't really changed much at all in the last month.

exactly, it raised when Nep released as always, but never dropped back as other times. Anyway, we'll see soon enough

btw, they can't exactly raise, because much more gems are being made at this time, and not all people hold onto them, so even if some do, prices are still slightly dropping, because more don't.

I don't think Valve will ever do anything with gems again since that would throw the market out the window. It was fine the first time as a tutorial for users but now there's way too much money involved for another possible mess-up like last time.

but there are many things can be done with gems, I wouldn't assume an auction, because when it was done, it started way before sale.

What an amazing year 2015 has been for Steam. If you had shown me a list of games released and announced in 2015 one year ago I straight up would have called you insane.
Here's hoping this trend continues strong next year as well.

Also, really happy about the influx of fighting games hitting PC and ArcSys putting together a team dedicated to their PC ports instead of just shitting their games onto the plattform to die.

One of the very early upgrades allows you to literally run over the top of zombies and that makes avoiding combat a lot easier. Also remember that you have noisemakers.
yeah, i tried firecrackers but they're really limited and it's hard to get zombies to get out of rooms in general

but like so far i haven't killed anyone i wasn't asked to by the game and i found that more entertaining

It isn't, it's its own mode. But it's really not very long or complex, the tutorial isnt very good but most things will just click with you if you play the game.
i just really hate tutorials

wish it was like eternity that teaches you as you go along

yeah, I was thinking about it today too, it was an insane year with releases that used not to be on steam at least, we got Trails SC finally! if the next year get me Steins Gate and Danganronpa, also if Sega will step up, 2016 can turn to be no less amazing! Have you thought about that?
Let's not forget we are getting Dragon Dogma and Stardew Valley in 2016 already.
