    Heyas SteamTread! Long time no see.

    Actually, life has been all kittiwumpus, and even the good things have been a hella distraction, so...we'll donate double to the SummerDale Child's Play to make up for it.

    But the real reason for the posting, some shout-outs, and maybe a revue or two.

    First order of business, @JMan711‌ , once again showing you are a king among men, were it not for your avatar being all anti-king-stuffs, and all. Anyhow, this:14br0228328o.jpg
    was well cooler than i'd any right to expect. Thanks a ton.

    Second: @Pixelated Pixie‌ i shoulda figured you'd'a have a gun like that. i'll keep an eye out for a PinkRocket Launcher, tho'.

    Third, quick revues you can use...maybe?

    Binding of Isaac: Rebirth: Okay, between this and the original, i've got around 200hrs, which is about what i put into Borderlands2. If that's not an endorsement, i'm not sure what is.

    Dustforce: Looks awesome, sounds awesome (really, the soundtrack is something else...even for a genre i almost never listen to...it's just very, very good), plays like a boat half-full'a concrete. i mean, i'm sure that's a mix of me and it not being originally designed for a controller, but...i almost never seem to get a good smooth pace going, like i can with SuperMeatBoy. It's not that i can't recommend it, but i think it may need a slightly higher initial skill in platformers than i have.

    Teleglitch: Besides being awesome, feels like a video game adaptation of Daniel Ksenych's The Other Side of Theory from The Book of All Flesh, which is a really great short story from a pretty great book full of mostly great short stories. Really, you should check it out. Then buy Teleglitch. Preferably with the soundtrack DLC, as that's pretty great as well.

    Super Time Force: Ultra: i swear to entropy i will figure this out eventually. What i have been able to do, though, has been both funny and fun, and i wish i was better at it; but maybe you'll be! You should give it a try. Maybe you'll get farther than shooting Merfolk...which is where i'm stuck now.

    Right, i think that's the last of it for the moment. i'll try to keep more on top of things, and i can't make promises, but i think Santa may have a couple of people in the thread on his nice list (if their wishlists don't get carpetbombed 'ere payday, that is).

    And with that, to all, a goodnight!

    Okay question time.

    I bought AssCreed: Butt Pirates Crack Flag Edition for the PS4 at launch with the system. I never opened it, it is still sitting sealed on my shelf. I have a bitching gaming PC and an even better gaming laptop. Since the PC version is on sale for 10 bucks right now during the Steam Winter Sale, might it be a good idea to just trade in or gift to a friend my PS4 version and get the PC version instead? Is the PC version significantly better, or better enough to be worth the extra 15 bucks for the game and season pass?

    I'm really tempted, just for a few of the added Nvidia effects on the PC version.

    I can't say about the quality of the PS4 vs PC version, but I'm pretty sure the PC version is more heavily tied in to Uplay. That seems to matter a lot to some people.

    The biggest difference otherwise is which platform you play games on most.

    Is this the real life?

    Caught in a landslide,
    No escape from reality.

    Open your eyes,
    Look up to the skies and see,
    I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,

    Because I'm easy come, easy go,
    Little high, little low,
    Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to meeee. To mee~eee.

    @An_alt, just gifted me
    He knew it is quite easy
    To just give me some DLC~


    Capture40_zps57ead11d.jpg~original

    @An_alt, my heart now you won~
    Because you knew I couldn't throw it all awaaay

    Steam thread, ooOOOooh~
    I suppose I cannot lie!
    At this point I can't accept DLC anymore~

    But carry on, carry ooon~
    Know that it really does matter~

    ___________

    I suppose the thing is, I could withstand not
    The idea of letting DLC in a library to rot

    It's more difficult to gift than a game.
    As they could own it too, all the same.

    Which is why I was more willing to accept.
    But from now on, I will also reject.

    So how does the new trade rule affect 4 packs of games? Like Castle Crashers, I grab the 4 pack, one goes into my account by default, and then the 3 extra in my inventory - I gotta wait 30 days to gift those? Or does the rule only restrict trading, gifts are OK?
