I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
you guys use Spotify?

im debating wether or not to keep Premium going since I don't have an unlimited data plan and this thing is devouring gigs

it just launched on Latin America months ago and it has a nicer price ($6 p/month) but yeah

I think you can only use use playlists and the radio feature on mobile if you have the free version, so if whole albums is priority then it is worth it.

yeah, just thinking of alternatives I guess? tho they all seem bad and there's very few available in Uruguay (actually just Rdio I think.. and Pandora)

free version also has no track selection (just shuffle) on phone which is such bs


what's funny is that my brother has all his albums in there and he played their "latin american launch" gig in mexico and he can't get jack shit in terms of a premium account or vouchers

lol

I love it, but not having an unlimited data plan is shitty. Can't you just choose the things you want and download them? "make offline avaible", so you only have to download them only once and just stop streaming any music from there.

yeah im gonna do that a bit more, but it seems iffy to pay just for that

also, it doesnt just download MP3s right? if so is there a way to move them to the ext. SD card?

some serious steam talk up in here, you can thank me later

I won't believe it, I just will not.

Did you notice that if you invert that gif it's basically a suited up alpaca flipping stuff in a REZ-esque world?

 
Chaos Drive grinding may have gotten boring after a while but it still sounds better than watching Chao swim repeatedly until they get better at it (unless you're thinking of a more hands-on approach to leveling up Chao). Plus I thought that the better animals being in harder-to-reach spots of the levels was a pretty cool idea. I do like the idea of a bigger and explorable Chao World though.
Good god no, I wouldn't want to let my game idle while Chao swim for hours to improve. There'll have to be a more hands-on approach to raising them for sure. You bring up teaching them to swim well, which is certainly the most difficult thing one could demonstrate to a child without doing a QWOP-like minigame. Here's something I wrote a while back:

Swimming, for example, would require finding decreasingly shallow pools for Chao to dip into and practice without drowning/dog-paddling in pain.
I must have had in mind a weather system where Chao could learn best after rainwater had accumulated into pools they could wade into. Trying to teach them important skills like this in one go is the definition of grinding! So the solution is to center the game progression around exploration, not feeding Chao stat increases or waiting for time to evolve doing nothing else.

Animals would return for sure, though their use for increasing stats might simply disappear with the old system (I did like the cosmetic features they gave Chao).

What's a good $20-$30 giveaway game? I was thinking Xenonauts but that's pretty niche.


Going off the want list on my friends on Steam (mostly fellow GAFFERs).

Banner Saga
Remember Me ( I think people just don't want to buy it themselves).
XCOM: Enemy Within
The Wolf Among Us
Broken Age
Transistor (especially high that one)
Killer is Dead
Among the Sleep
Space Engineers
Rayman® Origins
SUNLESS SEA

Edit: I'm having terrible lag so only now saw this post go through some five minutes after I hit post.

So for rarely seen, I do see a fair amount who have Outlast, Gauntlet, and Hack 'n' Slash on their wishlist.

Been using for years, couldn't live without it. Premium is awesome, I don't need to keep music installed to my iphone/ipad anymore.

the data usage is NUTS tho

like, quality-wise I really don't hear much difference between Spotify and other similar apps but it's basically eating up 3 megs per minute or something

non-issue with unlimited but yeah, this is latin america bros

Origins is still that high? Because I remember buying it several sales ago at something around 5€.

Maybe did you mean Legends?

For USD it is at $20 for reasons I can't fathom. Aye GamersGate had it rather cheap, but not on Steam itself

Never really thought of that. I live in the first world though :3

You can download as much music as you like (I believe) for off-line play with premium at least, which can be handy if you're on an expensive mobile internet subscription e.g. and have space on your phone or whatever.

Or if you have limitations on your home network even

WOAH!

It's 10€ in EU2, and ES/ITAD says it has been as low as 5€ on Steam and under 2€ on Gamesrocket.

So yeah, finally a US/EU conversion that makes sense! :D


EDIT: apparently EU and EU2 are the cheapest regions for Rayman Origins. Thank you based Michel Ancel!

Good list, going to head out tomorrow, hoping EBgames has steam cards. Won't be a typical modbot giveaway, will involve riddles and shit.
Headstart, bands from BC

arma 3 is great you guys

between this and divinity I don't even need my backlog, fuck the police

I didn't even know Arma 3 could look like that, lol. But yeah, the game is great fun even if you don't dig deep into the multiplayer. I still get quite a bit of joy from just messing around with the editor and having hundreds of enemies fight each other at 15 FPS as dozens of helicopters, tanks, and so on explode around me
usually taking me out in the process

Also, lol at the penis gun :p
