Another issue over here is that the selection wasn't all that large and most of the stuff was expensive on account of import, if anything else. So pretty much everything was higher shelf stuff for us.

I actually have a similar anxiety, or at least had. My backlog is quite large, as I've said, and it's spread over two platforms. I've accumulated a lot of games in a way which seems cheap (8 bucks for 10 games? Why not), but was in reality a waste of money nonetheless because most of those games...

Commendable. I sat down recently and sorted my games across Steam, GOG and Playstation and came to about 50-60 titles worth playing. Which is a lot, but about 30-40 of those take single digit numbers in hours to complete. Most of the games I "own" come from bundles and PS Plus. I've generally...

Hardly. Obviously some percentage of Steam users are equivalent to lurkers with not a dime spent, but they aren't really relevant to the discussion. The issues we've listed regarding game/license ownership don't concern them, neither do store and curacy issues or fucked up search functions. They...

No stomach issues. Not really, no. Then again, I did stop drinking milk before work or social gathering because it can make me tummy feel funny. I'm not from one of those countries which pride themselves on their cheese *too* much like France or Netherlands, but there's definitely an old...

I honestly don't remember much of that game except for some vague images. I was maybe 10 or 12 when I played it. I might check it out though, but with a backlog of around 50 titles, that doesn't seem too likely for the time being.

I'm complete opposite. I used to live off beer and milk during my uni days basically. Nowaday I mostly avoid milk, but do like it in smoothies or with cookies and what not. I insanely love cheese though. It's probably the number 1 item in my diet. That being said, cheese around here differs a...

Oh damn, Dragon Quest. I have forgotten about those. The first one for NES is the first RPG I've ever played I think.

I am aware of baritone guitars, seen a few of them played live, but never tried them. Then again, I'm not really a guitar player.

Was that list something you know by heart or did you copy/paste a wiki page or something? At any rate, sure, whatever fits you. We come in various shapes and sizes, no reason why our instruments shouldn't. I'm somewhat interested how I could feel playing it. I have fairly large hands I guess...

I've been playing bass for over 10 years, and this is the first time I hear of a short scale bass. Granted, I kinda suck at playing and am not big into instruments and technical aspets as opposed to just jamming, but nonetheless, this is a surprise. Maybe I have seen them at stores and...

Yeah, for Steam to go DRM free at this point is probably impossible. They might get theirs shit together eventually and fix some of the client's issues, but DRM free is as likely as Apple products going cheaper. Personally I have some DRM-free installers from GOG stored on an external hard...

Agreed on all points. I'm pretty sure Greenlight program is dead. So is the Curator program which was a half-assed attempt at having other people separate chaff from the grain, but I'm not sure if it was ever that viable. Discovery Queues which they have during Sale (or maybe even outside it?)...

What did you do, you mad and lovely bastard?

I remember @Cimmerian Nights from DAC, I think. Is he even alive?

I'd argue that Steam's huge library is at this point somewhat of a detriment. I remember back when Steam had some form of curacy in regards to what is available on its Store. This was the time when indies came to greater prominence along AAA titles, because Steam helped give these games a...

A reminder that DRM-free options like GOG and itch.io exist. Far from perfect, but they exist. Steam and Valve aren't really customer-friendly. They are not nearly as anti-customer as EA, Ubisoft, Sony or whichever other shit company you want to pick, but at the end of the day, you don't own...

How many active users does DAC have, or well, had? Given the drought around here, I imagine things are worse over there.

I hope they get back online. Never really used or frequented that forum much, but it would nonetheless be a shame.

Yeah, it kinda went to shit. There was a lot of weird stuff going on behind the scenes, to which most of the users weren't privy to. Conflicts between administrators etc. I believe that at some point even Ausir who was The Vault founder left the whole thing. I think it also coincided with the...
