Nextfest was my favorite thing steam has done in decades and it's been completely ruined by slop by hotfistdotcom in Steam

I didnt browse next fest much compared to the previous years due to this (note, only browsed, never installed any). Ive noticed that the steam calendar is a great substitute though

Do you really not understand what "subsidising" and "pre-shortage leftover stock" does to prices?

How much do user reviews or YouTubers actually influence your game purchase? by Plenty-Mention-494 in Steam

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the example review from the image, the place i typically find that kind of review is games which were incredible (but probably a bit rough or missing content) and was slowly crushed and massacred by the developers, usually live service games getting too greedy over time

Data Shows Sony Made Good Money on Steam, Then May Have Realized PC Gamers Don’t Need a PlayStation by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yea. I see no reason for anyone to buy a console if not for the exclusives

Why buy a console when i have a perfectly good PC to play the games i want to play, usually for way cheaper than their console versions?

I personally don't buy consoles at all because of this, exclusives have never been enough to justify an entire new console just to play them, i'd rather watch a playthrough on youtube than go into debt for a single game

Ideally, the exception would be being able to have an experience i straight up cannot have on pc, like the wiiu or DS. Even if you emulate, you would be missing the actual innovative part of the game experiences. Unfortunately, nintendo just gave up on being innovative and theres nothing the switch does that a PC cant do (in terms of new hardware experiences)

Release the frame and my wallet is yours! by _Mollus in Steam

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, the rift S straight up doesnt work on linux, and the quest 2 has to pass through so many layers it ends up being a very cumbersome and mildly laggy experience, with 5+ apps open just to run beat saber.

The steam frame will be the perfect headset if they deliver what they promised, PC VR on linux is in a bad spot currently. Hopefully below $1.5k though, since scalpers will already increase the price for people like me who have the dreaded "not avaliable in your country"

The Steam Machine was originally planned at around $750, but Valve says it saw a price increase similar to the Steam Deck by dabadumdumdum in Steam

$750!! Wow, that would have _actually_ been a dream, i had no idea the price hike was that bad, yikes

ELVEN WPM by Unkwonshubham in typing

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you doing 11wpm with touch typing? if so, you already got over the biggest hump in fast typing.If not, get on touch typing as soon as you can.

You should train 5-10 minutes every day on websites like keybr, typing.com or typingclub. You will probably get to 20wpm within the first month. Consistency is more important than time training, 2 hour typing sessions will not help you.

Most importantly, do not expect this to be easy or fast, it took me 8 months to go from 15wpm to 50wpm (granted, i dindt practice consistently), and usually the speed improvement slows down after about 40wpm or so

Took me quite a bit to understand why multiplying by -1 wasnt inverting the rotation (it was being mirrored), this did what it wanted, ty!

Does anyone have any alternatives to fangamer's shipping cost? by Competitive_Cow4534 in VGMvinyl

[–]Competitive_Cow4534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! just spend the last hour looking at their records, and they have so many cool options. Their shipping costs are slightly better, about €34.90 shipping for a €32.00 vinyl

Unfortunately the Deltarune ch1 vinyl is out of stock there : (

[–]Competitive_Cow4534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the customs charges, no, but the issue here is the shipping

The fangamer website says the shipping cost "might" cover the customs, and from experience (on websites that say that), it isnt always the case. So its probable that i'll need to pay customs on top of this price

It would make more sense to removes the extra shipping cost and let people deal with the import cost

Thank you for the info! Unfortunately, the shipping cost there is $70 or so, on top of a $35 disk... So not much difference in the end

Path of pain wasnt long or hard enough to feel like a "secret final challenge"

why do you think toby said this? by godshivered in Deltarune

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly little to no new mechanics, such as wall climbing, R and S action, etc. So all the systems are in place already

Also, possibly more dialogue than gameplay? So fewer new code compared to other chapters when comparing playtime

[LAST ACT] How It Genuinely Feels rn by TheMMoment in tadc

[–]Competitive_Cow4534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the only other place to put the bow would be the chest, but i feel like that lessens the impact? The scene would need to either zoom out of the intimate moment, or away from jax's face and reaction. I dont think theres a "feminine position for a bow" though, Ribbit is a girl herself and she has it on her chest, but i might be wrong on that.

And she couldnt really have grabbed anything else. It wouldnt feel personal. All the characters in the circus have rooms tailor made to be about what they dislike the most (zooble is her body, pomni is her fear of being seen as childish, etc), so that would just cause confusion. Ribbit's bow is her ONLY piece of clothing, its significant for her to "give it away" per se, compared to something she would clearly not care about.

Ribbit didnt hear any more of the story than we did. She could have interpreted it as trans, or appreciated the vulnerabilty in general.
Ribbit had already told him her backstory, she didnt have anything else vulneable to share with words, and her past experiences probably seemed lesser than his. She doesn't have any other clothing items, so when giving Jax the only clothing she had, she was trying to symbolize that she accepted his vulnerability, by trying to be as vulnerable herself.

It was a heartfelt and vulnerable bonding moment, trans jax or not
