Due to rampant fuckuppery on my part, I have an extra Borderlands 2 Game of the Year edition key to give away. Adventure Team members only. PM me if you want it.
@Magic Pink, only @KafkaAU of my Steam friends wishes for Borderlands 2 and does not have it.
If KafkaAU claims it - great!! Otherwise, if you don't get any takers, you might want to let people know if it's okay to ask for it if they have the base game but not the largely excellent DLC.
Need a list of best low overhead games on steam for people always losing their gaming pc's and video cards.
Back when my desktop gave out and I was only with my netbook for a year, I played a lot of Cave Story and FTL.
also looking down my game library for ones that have mostly low overhead, depending on your exact criteria for that, are Papers Please, Organ Trail, Super Amazing Wagon Adventures, Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery, Sunless Sea, and the Yawhg.
ALSO KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO. but buy on sale because while the first three episodes are an amazing experience who knows when four and five will ever come out.
Just be happy JC3 doesn't require Windows 10. Those specs are most likely inflated, as pointed out, but "DirectX 12 required" could have easily been on there!
I will laugh at and scorn every game that tries to tell me I need Windows 10 just to play it.
DirectX 12 will only be available on Windows 10...
Then I just won't play any game that only has DirectX 12. I will not upgrade to Windows 10 any time soon.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but why?
I held out for a bit, because I wanted to let other people do the initial testing of it and sort out the privacy issues. Also, I wanted to be able to do a clean install instead of an upgrade. Now that Threshold 2 is out, and I was able to create install media for it, and I've looked into how to disable Cortana and turn the telemetry down to a minimum, I'm happy.
i too held out because i heard people having compatability issues with some games and wanted everything patched before installing it, because when i change OS i do a full HD format. and then i ended waiting longer than planned because i got super suspect about how hard they were trying to give it to me for free. which then a friend of mine explained they are doing that due to security leaks in win 7 and 8 and its just to save their own asses from lawsuit, so now that they have given everyone ample opportunity to get a free upgrade they arent liable any longer. so that was good enough for me and i did the switch.
(it also helped that fallout 4 wasnt working at first and i was trying everything i could think of to fix it and a full format/new os seemed like it was worth a try)

The security issues mainly. When I hear that disabling the privacy stuff doesn't actually disable various things I get irritated. Also I hate the idea of mandatory updates considering more than a few times MS has borked things with a bad patch, whether directly or via opening a vulnerability.
I think DirectX 12 only games are a ways off right now anyway. I'll have to get Windows 10 eventually, but not in my immediate future.
Hey guys, good news those of you waiting for Killing Floor 2, they're pushing out an update!
The bad news of course is that theres no new content, but they're adding a microtransactions store! You can buy keys for your crates! Your new skins have multiple wear levels so even if you get the one you want, you might get the shitty worn down version!
They haven't added all the classes, or more bosses or anything they've said they're working on, BUT YOU CAN TOTALLY SPEND MONEY ON IT! WOO
Fuck these cocksuckers. And to think I was so hyped for KF2.
(They're still in early access of course, wouldnt want to finish their game before they throw in the store)
In related news, the Payday team apologized for fucking everything up. They invited some prominent community members and modders to their studio to talk about the future, or something, but they aren't getting rid of drill keys or whatever nonsense they added that got people mad at them in the first place.

They've apologized for what they say is poor communication (which is true, no doubt) but not the pay2win nonsense that lit the fires to begin with. Doesn't seem they're going to back away at all from that.

I think the bigger part of the "poor communication" is that they lied. They said that they wouldn't ever add pay2win stuff and then they did. No amount of apologizing takes away a bald-faced lie. If they want to get people back then removing those elements is exactly what they need to, but never will, do.

I get that this is the "future" of commercial software. There's money to be made by tracking, collecting, sorting, and selling the data we inadvertently generate through normal usage of our devices, and MS wants a piece of that pie. However, I've been building and tweaking my PCs since I was old enough to snap together my first hand-me-down 286. I grew up writing custom MSDOS boot floppies to squeeze extra performance out of games, tweaking .ini files, replacing the Windows Shell with crazy custom interfaces. My PC is mine. I built it, I maintain it, I tweak it, and I'll be damned if I'm going to hand it over to anyone to repurpose it as their own personal data collection node.
I'm sticking with Win7 for the moment, but plan on moving to Linux full-time before the year is up. I'll gladly embrace the problems of compatibility and emulation (and probably enjoy the hell out of tweaking Wine to run my Windows games) in exchange for complete control over my PC again, when the alternative is to allow my control to slowly slip away.

How long is Windows 10 free to upgrade to, anyways? I mean, I'm used to 8.1, and I know next to nothing about the new OS. I've only ever had prebuilt whatever.
And will some of the games I have on Steam suddenly become unable to play if I upgrade? That and other compatibility of programs on my computer already are the only reasons I haven't upgraded so far. Well, that and possible computer-breaking bugs.

I haven't found a single game or other program yet that ran on Win7 but won't run on Win10. Compatibility is pretty great.

Well, that's good to know. I'll probably still wait a bit longer, just because procrastination is my thing. I guess there are like, security concerns by some folks? How much of that is real and how much of that is blowing things a bit out of proportion?
I mean, at this point I just assume every app, executable or whatever where I enter my information or browse merrily along is collecting data on the who, why and how of me. And as long as companies know I am more than willing to AdBlock every last advertisement, mute every last commercial, and just generally ignore their attempt to sell me anything, then I could probably care less.

Akiba and Dropsy were fixed, Dropsy just like last week. Velocity hasn't been patched since release. IIRC the Velocity issue is a combo of Win 10 and Nvidia GPUs, AMD users didn't have the issue.
So I mean these are brand new indie games having trouble with Windows 10 even, and ones published by Activision and Devolver, so not some random small titles. Then there's things like the Commandos games getting removed from Steam because of issues with it. Haven't played a lot of older games recently but IIRC anything with some of the old shitty DRMs of the past has issues too.
And the Dualshock 4 was basically totally screwed up until the November update.
So, there's definetly some kinks to work out. And really the big kicker is, there isn't a ton of reason to upgrade yet. Unless you really want to play the Fable Legends beta. There's not much reason to upgrade yet, strictly speaking gaming wise.

Akiba's Strip worked fine for me from day 1. I've never even heard of the other two, but sounds more like it's the developer's issue than Microsoft's, if the fix had to come from the dev and not MS.
Older games that don't work with Win10 also probably didn't work with Win7 or Win8. There may be a few outliers, but there always is and that's (again) on the dev end and not MS end. If they're old enough, they're probably not getting fixed anyway, so delaying an upgrade hoping that <favorite game from 1998> will someday be compatible seems pointless.
There is, however, a noticeable performance improvement with Win10 over Win 7/8, so that's a reason to consider an upgrade. From boot time to general OS responsiveness, it's quite a bit better. YMMV, of course.

I have had a problem where Uplay refuses to work. I've only tried Driver: San Francisco, but it just crashes whenever I try to launch it because Uplay stops working at launch.

There was no midweek madness deals today. Is there a big black friday weekend sale incoming?
Yup, big sale starts tomorrow.
But...but... I should be spending my money on xmas presents for my kids and wife. Bah, those spoiled brats have enough crap, I need more crap to not have time to play!
Yeah, as a recent Win10 convert myself, so far I haven't had any big problems that stem from the OS in particular, as opposed to Windows in general. I share the privacy concerns, and I'm also not a fan of seeing an operating system as a service - but so far, other than having to disable said privacy items during installation, it's basically just Windows But Faster. The normal configuration options are still in place, it hasn't complained at me for ignoring Cortana or its other superfluous feature, I unpinned IE/Edge and pretend they don't exist, and the older titles that I've tried have worked without a hitch.
The day may come when this stuff becomes a bridge too far for me, causing me to freak out, get a mohawk, build a cyberdeck out of a raspberry pi, and start playing Shadowrun the Home Game. But so far that has not been the case, though my stylist is on standby all the same.

Uplay is the worst sort of broken poop. Pretty sure the problem isn't Windows specific there.
It's your computer if you want to talk to it. I too, have disabled it.
Siri's already "a bitch" (My mother and wife's words, but I sort of agree), why would I also want a nasty AI on my computer? I mean, if I want my computer to talk to me, I might as well go the whole hog and have GladOS snarkily making fun of my browser history all the time.

Been dipping my toes back into some games that had serious updates since the last time I played them. Man, did all games just get way harder while I was gone? Jumped in Kerbal Space Program...burned up on re-entry. Checked out Don't Starve...and promptly starved. I've also been playing Shadowrun Dragonfall because apparently I bought it at some point; I'm enjoying it, but it's pretty bleak. The ambiguous moral choices can fuck me up pretty good.
I also set that last Tomb Raider everyone raved about to downloading, so I should be able to finally check that out when I get home. It's so nice having a PC again.
I love the Overlord games, they are pretty much Pikmin with a great sense of humour
I have pretty much everything in the $1 and bta tiers but at the current price of the bta it may be worth me picking it up for Grid Autosport if it's any good? I'd appreciate some opinions on it if anyone's played it

I'm still amused they called it Cortana. Do they even know what happened in the last two Halo games? You'd think marketing would have concerns.

The day may come when this stuff becomes a bridge too far for me, causing me to freak out, get a mohawk, build a cyberdeck out of a raspberry pi, and start playing Shadowrun the Home Game. But so far that has not been the case, though my stylist is on standby all the same.
Looks like more Retro City Rampage with graphics that remind me of Turbografx-16 games, for whatever reason.
Uplay is the worst sort of broken poop. Pretty sure the problem isn't Windows specific there.
My loins are girdled. Gourded. Girder'd.
I don't get why my loins need a belt when it's my wallet and treacherous fingers that are the problem though.
It's your computer if you want to talk to it. I too, have disabled it.
Siri's already "a bitch" (My mother and wife's words, but I sort of agree), why would I also want a nasty AI on my computer? I mean, if I want my computer to talk to me, I might as well go the whole hog and have GladOS snarkily making fun of my browser history all the time.
I also set that last Tomb Raider everyone raved about to downloading, so I should be able to finally check that out when I get home. It's so nice having a PC again.
I love the Overlord games, they are pretty much Pikmin with a great sense of humour
I have pretty much everything in the $1 and bta tiers but at the current price of the bta it may be worth me picking it up for Grid Autosport if it's any good? I'd appreciate some opinions on it if anyone's played it
I'm still amused they called it Cortana. Do they even know what happened in the last two Halo games? You'd think marketing would have concerns.
There's an ointment for that....

I don't know what happened in any Halo games. Is she a Halo character or something?
