Thanks for the help. I've tried it and no results. I'm clearing data and cache now and if that doesn't work I'll reinstall it.
edit- apparently reinstalling it is not recommended. I was able to log in after clearing data and cache, but then it asked me for my code, which the app isn't showing me. But, it was able to text me a new code, so I've used that. And everything seems to be working now. It might have had something to do with an update?

Niantic stopped taking user suggestions for portals in Ingress awhile back, and they utilize the Ingress map for Pokemon Go
So maybe they "reactivate" the ability to add stuff like Pokestops and Gyms, particularly since Pokemon Go is immediately more popular than Ingress so people attempting to play Pokemon Go might be stuck in areas where say, nobody went around and turned every small statue and monument or remotely historic building in an area into portals
My old neighborhood in northern MA is fucking filthy with Ingress portals
So I picked up Stardew Valley and Civ 5 for my dad. They don't have amazing internet so I'm copying my game install directories to a USB drive to put on his computer. Can I do something similar for the Steam client itself? Does it have an offline installer or anything?

not as far as I know
but the install process (using a fresh installer) 'only' needs to download about 130 MB
I know their internet isn't 'amazing', but can it handle that?

You could use the backup feature in the Steam client.
I can more or less second Reus being fun. Also, very charming.
But, oh boy, are there a startling number of things the player must track during a session. There are 5 biome types, and each Giant has two 'seed tile' options. Each of these have multiple levels, which I'll get to in a bit. Crucially, the biome type controls what appears when a tile is seeded. Not all seeds work in all biomes. The result of a successful seed produces the usual resources: food, tech, or gold. The nearby village will gather them automatically.
Sound easy so far? Things get complicated by symbiosis and transmutation.
Symbiosis provides a bonus to the resource if it's next to something else. A blueberry will yield extra food if seeded next to an apple tree. The catch? You can't plant apple trees.
Transmutation requires an aspect (delivered by a giant; not necessarily the one that seeded the tile). The blueberry bush, when gifted by a 'fruit aspect' can be transmuted / evolved into that elusive apple tree. Often a resource will have more than one transmutation. Aspects will generally provide a small bonus to the resource, which can tip the balance towards completing a project or a development.
But if you just rush to the most optimal configuration, the villagers will cease being in awe of your giants and actively kill them. This does not usually go well for you, usually necessitating the murder (and subsequent re-establishment) of the village. I like to imagine the survivors of one of these ill-fated villages escaping to write the epic saga about sailing around the world, fighting giants and then returning home to find that an earthquake had leveled the place. Or there was a mountain there instead.
But I digress.
Villages will start projects, which are generally useful. Though I do complain because you have no control over where they go and they take up a tile entirely ... which makes the whole carefully planned symbiosis / transmutation thing a little more difficult. But successful projects give ambassadors, which can be used to rank up the seed powers (and unlock / rank up aspects and other powers). You must spread the ambassadors amongst your giants evenly. They should be mixed and matched, anyway, because of the prerequisites for the upgraded powers.
An upgraded seed power (level 2) creates a "great" version of the resource; level 3 is "superior". Great and Superior Resources have more Aspect Slots (remember that minor bonus effect) and generally have more transmutation options.
An upgraded aspect does, more or less, what it sounds like: a larger bonus (if that's all you're after) and some transmutations require the higher rank aspect.
And then there's range - some animals 'wander', granting symbiosis within the area; danger - some animals aren't super cute and cuddly, and this has some use; natura - required for a couple of things; greed - touched on earlier, though one village can also become desirous of another and launch a war; and awe - which more or less offsets greed.
Each game encompasses an 'Era'. Early on, the only Era length available is 30 minutes. As you juggle all (or much) of the above, you will complete (often by accident) 'developments'. Each of these will unlock some new resource. At set points along the way, you will 'level up', and gain access to the longer Eras of 60 and 120 minutes.
I'm really torn on the Eras lasting for set periods like they do. I guess I get it; it's easier to set the goals, but I'm not very fond of the system. I've had the game for a while (actually not as long as I thought; about 2.5 years) and haven't unlocked everything. I tend to set it aside for months at a time and then launch it to try for one development or another.
There's a set of options that enable "alt mode", and only a few developments may be achieved within that mode. You may also do 'free play', which would only be super useful once you've unlocked everything - you can't get anything new from playing it - but you can run a world forever.
You'll definitely get your money's worth at the bundlestars price - I'd say it's easily worth the $10 base price. But there's, as I said, a lot to keep in mind while playing.

Finally got round to starting Life is Strange, I didn't think I'd ever be nostalgic for the first week of being at university when I didn't know where things were or what was going on and so on and so on, but here we are.
A million more games like this for every one where you make peoples heads explode, please.
The aforementioned lack of saying the title in RE6 is indeed there, but it's in the little 10-second logo intro that you skip over to get to the start screen. Still, the placement should be after the anykey.
Why in the fuck has Steam started opening shit in their own dickass browser? Links in friend messages have always been forwarded to your browser, any way to shut this crap down? :mad:
In general, sending links per Steam seems more or less impossible since a few weeks back? Which is annoying, since it's the main medium I'm using to keep contact with my friends.

Hmm maybe? It's one of those cellular wifi routers, uses the same data plan as their phoens. I forget what their data cap is (or if they even knew when I asked last time I was there).
The last time I was there they were trying to use it to stream Netflix and couldn't get the BluRay player to connect. I did suggest they move to the lowest tier cable internet since for their limited purposes it would be sufficient. So maybe by now they've changed.
Reus was a great idea ruined by someone insisting that it needed to be difficult
Yeah, both the aesthetics and early progression of the game make it seem like a game you're meant to relax with and go "oh look at these pretty biomes I made"
But then by the mid-game it gets shockingly involved and complex

I see Lizardmen being in a proper expansion with the Dark Elves that adds Lustria, Naggaroth and Ulthuan.
Beastmen, Bretonnia as a proper faction, Wood Elves, and Skaven I see being able to be inserted into the map as it is (Athel Loren's this big blank spot after all).
Tomb Kings, Chaos Dwarves, and Ogres would need the map extended a bit to the south and east, respectively.
oh I totally forgot how to run virtual machine. or maybe the one I set up doesn't work in windows 10. I always figured it might not so I never tried and I really should have tried when this was fresh in my memory

There was a data mine of the dlc and it was confirmed to be mostly correct but not in order anymore
The game exploded and sold really well so their making it a trilogy with a bunch of dlc as well
Ffffff! Has anyone else had trouble getting Zanzarah to run?
As far as I can tell, it has something to do with laptop drivers using Intel HD instead of nVidia. But the Steam forum is just jammed with so many bug complaints that it's hard to tell if there's a definitive solution: https://steamcommunity.com/app/384570/discussions/
This time around I'm going out of my way to take advantage of the brutalize skill.
There's something very very satisfying about just stabbing the fuck out of a dude and watching all his friends shit their pants and run for their lives.

Reus is a pretty fun game, like, has some issues, but the concept was great and sucks you in for a while
