The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

By the way, what exactly can you do with Gems? I don’t have many, but… uh… I dunno.

With my gems I’ve been making card packs and selling them off.
Also, last day to get KOF 98 at a discount before it gets released on Steam.

What time does 98 release? Been a night owl lately might want to grind some combros before sleep.

Seriously my brain fucking hurts trying to read through that pile of misspelled bullshit.

Aight then, I guess I’ll keep a watch on it come Winter Sale.

How can PC Gamers be real if our eyes aren’t real?

I decided last night I want to move out of the Ultra size tower and go more for a mid tower look. I’m switching my hard drives to 2x 480 SSD’s at some point soon so I don’t need a hard drive bay anymore, nor will I need an optical drive bay. I’ve been looking into this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146190&cm_re=NZXT_CA-S340W--11-146-190--Product
Very cheaply priced and reviews for it are quite good. I think I have a winner.

Trying to figure out what the bottleneck is in my pc, and what I should upgrade next.

Kind of thinking I’ll need to upgrade the cpu soon. Will want/need a better mobo when I do. Those hexacore and octocore cpus sound pretty sexy…even if I won’t have much of a use for them.

98 scheduled for release 10am PST today, over an hour past that and still nothing. Japan sucks at Steam.

what are you going to use for larger storage? Movies, music, etc. Just going with externals and such for that?

I love SSD’s but I still see potential issues with them, in long term situations (the way they copy/move files means if you try to move a file/folder and it’s larger than your remaining hdd space, it won’t work) as well as defrag not really doing much for them lol.

I posted a BEAST storage hdd last page, for an amazing price.

I use a full tower NZXT case and I personally love it. Probably one of my favourite cases, and from what I’ve read, they make the best fan cooled cases you can get.

I don’t really have larger storage. My computer is currently 1x ssd (120) (currently filled at 70%) got OS. 1x 230gig hdd for games(currently filled at 60%) and 1x230gig hdd for tv/movies/music (currently filled at 50%).
I delete a tv series as soon as it’s done, I watch most of my movies on netflix and popcorn time, and I don’t listen to music (I have about a dozen audiobooks I keep but in constant rotation).
I guess larger storage just isn’t an issue for me.

All right it’s finally out. Muddling my way through practice mode atm, if anyone else is on 98 go ahead and add me, same name as the SRK handle.

Just got my GTX 970. Some people just don’t understand I guess, I was getting some weird looks. Then again I probably should’ve waited till i was outside the post office to rub my dick on the box.

Interesting.

So the game Hatred was posted up on Steam’s Greenlight and was taken down shortly after. Why? No one is 100% sure (of course we know), but the devs were like “we respect Valve’s wishes but won’t change the image of our game”.
Strange how GTA, Postal 1, and Hotline Miami are on Steam, but this game isn’t allowed.

Funny enough, a few days past and it is now back on Greenlight.
Ha… ha ha… ha…

Lol, no doubt this little stint with Steam will create a Streisand Effect for at least a few.

While on the subject of Hatred, a fashion company did a parody of the trailer for its own upcoming browser game.

EDIT: I love how Nathan Explosion pretty much transforms into Weird Al.

When the game got taken down, someone made a topic in regards to the matter on 4chan.
The OP basically started saying “why did Hatred get taken down? blah blah blah” and then ended the statement with “pic related, in-game image of Hatred” but it was an image from Postal. Then he makes another post with a image from Hotline and was like “oh silly me, wrong image, here’s the correct one!” and kept quoting himself posting various images from other violent games on Steam saying “why do I keep posting the wrong pics, guys?!”

I found it funny… and sad at the same time.
Kind of silly to see the game just booted off for no reason, but I’m glad the devs are really cool about it. I thought this whole SJW thing wasn’t suppose to effect gaming. Why can’t they be more like JP devs and not give a shit.

Since I’m learning how to draw and getting into game development, I’m started to see why the whole “half naked” thing is a trend, and it’s actually a really, really great thing. The article on “save the breast plate” from the Divinity Original Sin artists is starting to make more sense to me now.
Here’s a really good example as to how these guys cause more negative harm than positive (NSFW video?)

Yea, yea, it’s Game Theory, but he brings up a really good point, one not many people are aware of.

Huh, Steam is region locking games from Brazil, Indonesia and Russia. I’m fairly certain Nuuvem is still not affected though so I’m good.

Russia is because their money isn’t worth fuck all anymore. Apple stopped online purchases from Russia, because by the time the transaction goes through, the ruble has lost even more percentage.

Yeah and that made buying games so much easier. Have you bought from the Russian or Brazillian store? Shit I got Shadow of mordor for around $12 a few weeks ago. Assassin’s Creed Unity was $18.
