The discount which Steam is applying to people who have authentication on their phone appears to have automatically triggered for buy calls which people had in place. This resulted in a ton of peoples' wallets being emptied as they auto-bought at discounted prices, which has resulted in the entire market being forced down. Badges are cheaper than I've ever seen, and there's a glut of people who have buy orders in place without the money in their wallet to take place, so in some cases people have cards for sale with a good 20-30 buy orders in place which aren't being acted on, leading people to list for even LOWER.
With the winter sale coming up, if you want to collect a few sets to get extra winter cards, get while the gettin's good.

UGH! All I wanted to do watch play blu rays on my PC, but problems keep occurring which prevent me from doing so.
First the blu ray drive didn't come with any media playing software, then none of my already installed software worked with blu rays, and now after I spent $87AUD on the steam version of PowerDVD, the damn thing won't even start up. Fails at the first time setup.
"Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)"
Tried flushing Steam application files, deleting the 'appcache' folder, verifying the game file, but nothing works.
And when I tried to launch a steam support, it redirected me to the CyberLink website.
Anyway, I'm going to play with FO4's character creator some more. I attempted to create myself but gave up quickly because it didn't really look like me and also because playing as myself just feels weird.
I'm going to have a go at making One Punch Man and maybe Robert Downey Jr, before I go prettiest princess of the wasteland

I'm officially starting my new job today. I've mentioned this before, but it's my first time working since May of last year. It's going to be great to be part of a team of librarians again, albeit this is in the form of "substitute librarian" but it's something! This last year and a half was the first time I'd been unemployed since high school. It's a huge relief, as I've applied for multiple library jobs since then and always got turned down. I was starting to feel like I was unemployable or something.
Anyway, on a lighter note, a reminder about my giveaway which ends at 4 PM central US time:
I've really been enjoying Axiom Verge, although one thing I'll note about it is it's the first Metroidvania I've played in a while that doesn't really hold your hand and tell you where to go. This is pretty cool for the most part, although right now I am seriously annoyed because I am stuck and can't really think of where to go anymore.
It's currently on sale for $13.99, but you can take a shot at this giveaway to get it for free:
I set it to end tomorrow so that people can still get it for that price if they don't win.
Entering that stage of Bethesda games with Fallout 4 where I'm totally burnt out. Swear to myself I'll come back and finish, and probably forget about it.
Also been playing Asscreed Syndicate so I'm about full of big budget bloated games right now. Time to spend some time with smaller scale games I think. I say that with Just Cause 3 a day away, though at least that game is looking fairly silly.

Finally joined a faction last night.
Started on main quest.
This game is mind-bogglingly big. I'm gonna say it's bigger - with more to do/see/explore - than any other game I've ever played.
Having tons of fun... and already planning ahead for character #2. Current character is a sneaky, sniper-y, pistol-wielder. Next one is going to be all about big weapons, power armor, things that go boom, and lots of drugs.
Hey, playing through Ori and the Blind Forest right now; I seem to recall there was an issue where certain areas of the game couldn't be returned to, so if you failed to get all the items there, you couldn't get 100%. Did they end up fixing that? And if not, what areas should I be on the lookout for?

I'm at 66 hours and a decent way through the main quest, but I don't do a whole lot of pure exploration. I started out sneaky, but have been using power armor a lot lately. The jetpack upgrade is just too useful. I need to figure out a way to make the boost last longer.
As with every Fallout game before it, no matter my intentions, the top priority becomes carry capacity. If I don't pick up that plunger or that telephone now, I will be one short of rubber or circuits for a desired upgrade the next time I do a session of settlement expansion - guaranteed.
So my previous stat/perk upgrades are on hold to run up Lone Wanderer (Dogmeat doesn't count!) and then get strength high enough to take a few levels of Strong Back.

It's pretty much every dungeon type place.
They are working on some sort of "definitive version" of the game so I imagine if they figure out a workaround for it, it'll be around that time frame.
As a brief update on Steam Link and Controller, I had been having issues with audio stuttering in some games with the Steam Link. Specifically, a non-Steam version of Tales from the Borderlands where the audio is kind of important. This was over WiFi. This weekend, I grabbed a powerline ethernet adapter (I think this is the one I got) and that seems to have fixed my audio issues completely.
But this brought up another Steam controller issue which is, I have Tales from the Borderlands via the Telltale site but I've added it as a non-Steam game so I can play easily. But because it's a non-steam game, there are only the default controller templates and no recommended or community ones available. Is there some easy way to say, "use the controller scheme of Game X in Game Y" or lookup the controller scheme for one game and apply it to another? I could not find that as an option but it would be VERY handy for non-Steam games, especially if they have a steam equivalent like Tales from the Borderlands.

Yeah, I tend to explore a LOT. I started out from Sanctuary in the beginning and just went east along the top edge of the map all the way to the sea, then south a ways, then back west... I'm pretty thorough about not letting a building/site/thing go unexplored. Except subways/sewers. Fuck those, unless a quest takes me there.

No they did not. Here are the areas that get locked once you leave them:
Ginso Tree, Farlorn Ruins and the Misty Woods.
Also, once you enter the final area of the game, Mount Horu, you can't leave it anymore so be sure to %100 the rest of the map before.
Bored to hell browsing this sale, but I'm still itching to try something new. I just don't know what.
A telltale game maybe? Walking Dead season 1 was pretty good. Season 2 was alright but not as good. Wolf Among Us was okay. I didn't like the fact that despite being in a big city everything felt like it was happening in a vacuum. Like nothing existed beyond the dozen or so characters in the game. This works fine for Walking Dead obviously.
Haven't tried any of the other telltale games yet. Suggestions?
Jurassic Park. The isolated feeling makes sense, and it's worth screwing up QTEs to see the fantastic dinosaur chomp sessions.

I failed every single QTE. On purpose. Twice. Once for giggles, once for screenshot purposes.
No, my current character is my usual first-playthrough "be a nice person, do good deeds" sort. My next one will be happy to munch on the fallen, however...
Come to think of it I don't think I ate anything in FO3 or FO:NV. People or otherwise. Why use your teeth like a sucker when you can stick healing directly into your veins?
The effectiveness of (cooked) food in the new one got buffed correct? Are stimpacks still incredibly plentiful?

Cooked food in FO4 is greatly effective. Lots of healing (for the most part ... love deathclaw steaks!) and some buffs - bonus AP, energy resist, rad resist, etc.
Stimpaks are crazy plentiful too. I have almost 200 of them saved up so far. Partly because I just rarely need them because I'm just that badass ( :razz: ), but mostly because they're every-freaking-where.

Cooked food varies from basic healing (cooked radroach meat just heals IIRC) to super useful (radstag meat heals 160HP and increases your carry weight for 1 real time hour of play)
I currently have over 120 stimpaks. I do not buy any, and I haven't been stingy with using them when I get into fights since my frail character's limbs get crippled quite easily.
I actually have to do some inventory management back at Sanctuary next time I'm there, because I've got so much cooked food on my person that it's becoming an issue.

What are the thread's opinions on Armello? Reviews generally seem mixed, but I'm a sucker for computer board games. Also, does anyone have any experience playing the game with touch controls?

Not my cup-o-tea (clearly). I should give the game mode a fair chance but sadly finding the time for multiple playthroughs of Bethesda products is not in the cards for my foreseeable future.

No experience with touch controls.
My impressions are that it's a very pretty game with a good sound track but isn't anything stunning. It's functionally a light strategy/adventure game that you've probably played a bunch of similar stuff to before if you're into board games. Whether you'll enjoy it probably comes down to how much you like that kind of deal and if you can get friends to play it with.

I really liked what I played which so far is probably about 8 games. It's visually really nice. I'm not a great boardgame player so some of the finer mechanics of the game still seem kind of mysterious to me but I've never really felt cheated. It's the kind of game that I think would be confusing and very difficult to play on an actual board but it can move pretty quickly. I haven't played the multiplayer at all but would like to at some point. There are multiple characters to use that each play differently. In addition, there are unlocks that you choose when you start the game which give you different perks. All games require 4 players (bots or humans) and if you are playing by yourself, the computer's turns take about 20-30 seconds before your next turn.
