I don't know why but I love this meme. Every time I see it I want to write "Keikaku means plan".

I didn't even know there was a version of this gif without the translator's note.

Megaton.
Why give away one game when you can give all the games?

There should be a new Modbot Rule exclusively for JaseC, Supreme Giver or something like that.

And now for something completely different; Shovel Knight looks awesome. Any SteamGaffers with impressions?

Buy it! If you like classic platformers like Megaman or Castlevania, buy this game now! I'm decently far in the game so far, but everything is just filled with nostalgia, and the music is some top level 8-bit style tunes. The levels are usually alot longer than your older platforming game, but they also have checkpoints to help with that. But if you're also feeling brave you can just take out the checkpoints with your Shovel and play like a true Shovel Knight! Some say it's easy, but I've found the difficulty to be pretty hard in some area for myself, but that might be in part because I play with no checkpoints.

 

[Vazra]

Did I win a High Five?

 

[pahamrick]

They were all in the last 3 months, right?
Then yes.

Wait. I thought it was just had given away a minimum of 25 games period, but it has to have been in the last 3 months too?

 

[iosefe]

Wait, will this really count? or if no one claims those high-fives, do they not count as giveaways?

oh....

i shouldn't have entered...

 

[BruteUA]

I better get some popcorn going, this is going to get real fun. There's plenty of room here on the sidelines with me. Maybe there'll be some bans.

 

[Speevy]

I'm not sure.. but am I eligible?



You're welcome and thank you for Shank 2!

For sure then, I thought you just used the Steam gifts.

 

[KenOD]

You mean internet high five day!

not serious btw

Bill Nye approves.

Still on subject since Valve has quite a few fans of the show that's from

Thomas Was Alone -- MB-A82BB67E02E14543 - Taken by Chezzymann

Something that was never claimed.

 

[Arthea]

Also you can choose to believe me or not, but any M&M franchise bundle is a must buy thingie.
M&M and HoMM are great.

 

[kudoboi]

Haha, I didn't actually send anything to Modbot

D: and i was patiently waiting for a response from modbot

 

[~Kinggi~]

Today is the day we learn how to hack modbot and break all the rules.

 

[iosefe]

Something that was never claimed.

NOW Thomas is alone

 

[Tizoc]

Well here are the results
_hekk05 claimed your Killer is Dead key. There were 111 entrants.
xptoxyz claimed your Strider key. There were 86 entrants.
Nete claimed your The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt key. There were 187 entrants.

Congrats o the winners =)
...no one entered for Torchlight?

Since I've the space to use, I thought this might be fun:



If anybody thinks they can attempt to get away with submitting a support ticket with Valve to claim ownership, I can only say that I've been using the same PayPal account and the same debit card for the past several years, and have many physical copies of games to submit as evidence...

...so, basically, don't be stupid. You won't get far. Be smart, though, and, well, you'll more or less never have to pay for another Steam game again.

Good luck.

Do you have Outrun?
That's what is important.

 

[Chris R]

So wait, Family Sharing is live? I'm looking at the menu but don't see how I give my brother access to my account and have him give me access to his?

Do I have to go to his computer and log into my account on it and Authorize it?

 

[Turfster]

Wait. I thought it was just had given away a minimum of 25 games period, but it has to have been in the last 3 months too?

Yes.

Yep.
You need to go to his computer, log into your account, authorize it and authorize the other account on the computer

 

[Shadownet]

For sure then, I thought you just used the Steam gifts.

Ive given half away through steam gifts. mostly Witcher 3 and personal gifts. the rest I put on raffle. But then again. I'm planning on raffling off a Witcher 3 soon. and other games..

 

[Levyne]

Steam noob question.

How do I get a non-steam game to show the game name here? It used to work but then I moved the game folder to a new location (outside of program files) and even though the steam overlay and everything else seems normal now I've lost this tag here so it shows up blank.

And is there any way to move screenshots from BLANK to the proper location? For instance, I have some screenshots for Dragon Age: Origins (Origin version through steam) tagged with "Dragon Age: Origins" but some others seem stuck under "BLANK"

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

How are you going about making those if you don't mind me asking. I followed this guide yet still doesn't work for me. Also the second one is great.

downloaded stuff here :
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
extract etc.
put the stuff you want to convert in /bin
open ff-prompt.bat
for the same quality than my webms type :

ffmpeg -i input_file.avi (can be .mp4 etc) -codec:v libvpx -quality good -cpu-used 0 -b:v 1000k -maxrate 1000k -bufsize 1200k -qmin 10 -qmax 42 -vf scale=-1:720 -threads 4 -codec:a vorbis -b:a 128k output_file.webm

if you want to convert only a specific part of a video after input_file.avi insert "-ss 00:00:00.000 (starting point) -to 00:00:00.000 (end point)

[Tizoc]

HOLY. COW.

Tizoc, may Crom bless you with strenght to conquer 10 Aquilonias.

THANKS!

You are welcome mate. Apologies for the message in there, as I wrote random stuff just to have it sent to my e-mail quick heh ^^;

 

[Fracas]

Did I win a High Five?

oh....

i shouldn't have entered...

D: and i was patiently waiting for a response from modbot

edit: oh dang, I definitely haven't given away 25 in the last 3 months. Oh well

 

[derExperte]

Wait. I thought it was just had given away a minimum of 25 games period, but it has to have been in the last 3 months too?

New rule. Slackers get left behind.

 

[Jørdan]

It would be interesting if no one entered each others giveaways today out of spite

Early yet but a contender for my favourite post this month.

 

[Parsnip]

so since i started using shadowplay i tried to make some webms, still need to figure out how to make the quality not shit though (these have sound if you're at work (stop browsing neogaf))

How are you going about making those if you don't mind me asking. I followed this guide yet still doesn't work for me. Also the second one is great.

I have used Alo81's setting from here before.

[pahamrick]

Yes.



Yep.
You need to go to his computer, log into your account, authorize it and authorize the other account on the computer

Well crap.

In an effort to encourage people giving away stuff other than bundle trash, I've recently added an option to limit giveaways to people who have given 25 games or more themselves. The option is in the OP as MEGAGIVERSONLY.

Along with this change, the counter that counts whether you've given away a game only counts games given away in the last 3 months. The reason for this is to prevent someone abusively giving away low impact games all at once and then reap the benefits of exclusive high-cost raffles thereafter. The downside is that well-meaning people will cycle off, the upside is that the cost to continue abusing for abusers is higher than it would have been otherwise.

That explains a lot. So now I know not to bother entering mega giver giveaways for the foreseeable future.

New rule. Slackers get left behind.

Out of work people too. Oh well.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Steam Family Sharing says that only one person can use the library at a time. Is JaseC one of those people that never actually plays games?

 

[Maxwood]

You can destroy checkpoints? lol
Sounds awesome, I might just bite. Thanks for the write-up.

And I kinda suck at platformers, even though I really like them, so it's probably a good thing if it's not extremely punishing.

 

[Shadownet]

It doesnt make any sense if I enter JAseC giveaway right? since I'm his alternative account?

 

[derExperte]

Out of work people too. Oh well.

Joke-backfire. Now I'm sad.

 

[Turfster]

Indieroyale added Pyrolysis to the Mixer 6 bundle.

 

[Rhaknar]

You are welcome mate. Apologies for the message in there, as I wrote random stuff just to have it sent to my e-mail quick heh ^^;

oh people get the same message that you sent to yourself when you use links in giveaways? I guess that makes sense

guess a lot of people saw my super thoughtful message I always use:

name: X
message: X
from: X

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I wonder if Nito likes my new avatar. :3

 

[JaseC]

Steam Family Sharing says that only one person can use the library at a time. Is JaseC one of those people that never actually plays games?

I'll idle if the cards are worth something, but even so I intend to work with the winner so that our schedules don't always fight. Otherwise, though, no, I pretty much don't play games.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I wonder if Nito likes my new avatar. :3

Needs an alpaca face.

It doesnt make any sense...

Dont say that stuff. People have been banned for that son.

For me it works when i upload pictures from SS Manager and when i choose game from drop down menu. Name won't show up if you upload pictures from SS Manager and if you choose Last Session.

[def sim]

What a unique giveaway. Good luck to those eligible!

 

[Rhaknar]

Steam Family Sharing says that only one person can use the library at a time. Is JaseC one of those people that never actually plays games?

you cant play the same game at the same time but you can play different games. I think? otherwise its pointless (well not in JaseC's case since he doesnt play games, but in general)

 

[Chris R]

Yep.
You need to go to his computer, log into your account, authorize it and authorize the other account on the computer

How do I authorize the other account? In the menu I see an option to "Authorize this Computer" but nothing about accounts.

Also, does it matter that I use Steam on three computers myself? Or would he only need to log into one of my machines to get access to my account?

 

[City 17]

I'm not eligible but it should be fun with lots of giveaways on the way for the next 24 hrs as some would want to become eligible.

Just a reminder to those guys: bundle trash might not work anymore, choose wisely or you'd risk your chances of becoming eligible.

Finally I'll have access to an account with Pat & Mat.

you cant play the same game at the same time but you can play different games. I think? otherwise its pointless (well not in JaseC's case since he doesnt play games, but in general)

No, if the main user is playing any game a secondary user can't play anything from the main user's library.

 

[Shadownet]

Dont say that stuff. People have been banned for that son.

oops sorry mods.

-------------

Btw Ive been sending money to russian sellers to buy games through paypal. paying directly through my bank account. how come when I checked my bank. no money have been taken out yet?? I still have all my money 0.o

does paypal wait till like the end of the month or something to take it all at once?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Needs an alpaca face.

As much as I love the alpaca thing, AO's character design is too good to do that to.

Marry me!

 

[Turfster]

To celebrate, I'm watching Violet & Daisy.
Hope it's good (apart from having Sawhorse Roaming)

you cant play the same game at the same time but you can play different games. I think? otherwise its pointless (well not in JaseC's case since he doesnt play games, but in general)

Nope, it's any game. As soon as account holder starts a game, the other person gets a "You have 5 minutes to get out or buy the game" style prompt.

 

[Hugstable]

You can destroy checkpoints? lol
Sounds awesome, I might just bite. Thanks for the write-up.

And I kinda suck at platformers, even though I really like them, so it's probably a good thing if it's not extremely punishing.

Yeah that's what I really like about how they set up that checkpoint system, really gives the player the choice on deciding how punishing they wants the game to be.

 

[Levyne]

For me it works when i upload pictures from SS Manager and when i choose game from drop down menu. Name won't show up if you upload pictures from SS Manager and if you choose Last Session.

Ah, Let me test that. I did use Last Session.
