You're right.
He's better.
He actually isn't a paragon of virtue. And he'll fight dirty, that I'm sure of.
Would anyone know at which point Steam stops blocking profile features (achievements, game count) of legit games after the "learning" period?
I understand why Steam insists on "learning" about all the new games, except from AAA pubs apparently, but I don't understand why after the "learning" process legit games are still limited?

I read on reddit that it's after a sales milestone is achieved. Sadly, I don't know what's that milestone.
They changed the name of "learning" to "profile features limited" because it seemed some developers considered the first to be equivalent to shovelware. The restrictions are the same (and they were tweaked I guess after a bug was discovered last month).
I'm hearing that the last big patches made some good changes and improvements. Will make sure to give it another chance soon.
The answer is that it's obviously transcoding them. How do you avoid that, I have no clue. Remember that it will try to serve different stuff depending on users' browser, internet speed, and the time passed since upload for further transcoding optimization (maybe it depends on view count as well?).
If you're uploading game footage, consider disabling motion blur if possible. I remember content creators repeatedly mentioning this.
I capture footage with Nvidia, it looks normal when I view it in VLC player. File size is usually 1 or 2 GB. In Youtube, despite it saying it's playing in 1080p, the video quality looks between 720p and 1080p. No motion blur ingame.
Are you playing at 1080p? I've found capturing at a resolution higher than 1080p (1440p in my case) and then letting YouTube turn that video into a 1080p video produces drastically better results than when I capture and upload at 1080p
Hmm, I don't think Geforce Experience has a setting to record at a higher resolution. It's Instant Reply feature does seem to have that function, but I don't want to use that. And I already turned off Game Bar because it was impacting my performance. Ah well, it's not a big deal I guess.
Like 7 years ago or whatever, I put $6 on a KS for a Quest for Glory spiritual follow up. It's called Mage's Initiation and it finally came out. Not sure if it was worth the wait since reviews seem divisive with a few glaring problems, more importantly some lack of charm in comparison to QfG.
But hey, at least it came out. I also put $15 on the Space Quest follow up at about the same time and that will likely never come out in any shape that will be worthwhile considering the ridiculous amount of issues that project and the people working on it have gone through.

Playing it right now! The game just made me go on a date with a crazy old scientist lady...it didnt go well.
I'm actually quite excited for Titanfall BR. I don't really know what it is but there is something in the Source engine that makes movement so enjoyable.
Still I hope this is just a little side project for Respawn and we'll get a proper sequel to Titanfall 2 someday.

Catching up on an mmo really sucks sometimes, been waiting 40 minutes to get enough people via duty finder to fight a mandatory story progression boss in FFXIV

Its a reason to use Origin this year for something other than Anthem. Could wind up being huge for them on PC.
Being F2P could spice things up even further. Hopefully the game is actually good and EA doesn't fuck it up somehow.
Classic RE. Creating tension by not being able to simply move away while you do very simple things.
They already fucked it up with the release date. Battlefield V BR is supposed to launch this spring sometime and there is no way there's enough players to sustain both games with Fortnite and PUBG still being hugely popular.
EA doing EA things by competing with themselves (just like Titanfall 2).
I found this a bit strange at first as well, but it must have been a nightmare for the map designers if you are able to wallrun and climb everything.
I'm the same way, source just feels right, same with the quake 1/2/3 engines for me
So the one thing that sets it apart is gone
Interest went from 0 to negative 1

It looks so bad in this game. There's also something about the shading that causes the walls kind of warp when moving toward and away from them. It's so bad that it actively makes me not want to play it, because I get a bit woozy just looking at it.
Yeah. It's not so bad in the dark. But for me, the main room in the RPD is kind of nauseating. Depending on the camera angle, there are these weird little graphical glitches all over the place.

10/10
I also backed the space quest game... I forgot the name... Two guys from Andromeda, or something...
I don't even read the dev updates anymore. Whenever I get them in my box, they just feel like spam. I just stopped caring...
Still, it's not the biggest KS failure I backed. That award goes to Sealark.
Only Kickstarter I've backed that I'd consider a disaster was Nightcry and honestly I didn't expect much since the ks itself was for an enhanced pc release of a mobile game they were working on. Which never came out.
Even Nightcry has its funny moments tho, despite that not being what you'd want.

I had that happen with LEGO Super villains. It made no sense to me. I swapped controllers to my Xbox one and the game recognized it. What's odd is my PS4 controllers is using ds4 windows wrapper so it should think it's a Xbox controller anyway.
I also played it for at least an hour on separate occasions just fine before.
I haven't tried recently but I wonder what causes this.
It works fine in big picture too. The only thing I had done was put on reshape, which I uninstalled before trying the complete reinstall.
I don't think I tried big picture mode when I had the problem. I definitely will next time I boot that game (LEGO ) and my ds4 doesn't work just out of curiosity.
No joke -- I'd have preferred just a high gloss texture on the tile with it looking that jarring.
Brilliant

Hope this becomes a meme
Say. Did Steam implement a spelling correction feature with the last update? Because I'm seeing a red underline under almost every English word I type in chat or forums.
Troubleshooting my controller issue I found some curious stuff. My device manager showed an Xbox 360 and an Xbox One controller even though I only have an Xbox One controller attached. Looking at the Steam config it showed the same, but identifying the Xbox 360 controller caused my controller to vibrate and nothing happened when identifying the Xbox One controller.
Digging in I found that the Xbox 360 entry in the device manager was somehow linked to Rainway, as a sort of virtual controller. Since I don't use Rainway I uninstalled it, and that cleared the device manager entry and also made the controller work properly in RE.

I just beat MGSV TPP (all 50 missions complete), and I actually quite liked it. The story is nonsensical, but that's basically every MGS. TPP is my fav MGS. I've played MGS and MGS2, and about a few hours of MGS3 & MGS4 combined. I don't really like "stealth games," and thought I would bounce off TPP as well, but after an initial shaky few hours, I managed to get to grips with the control system, and it ended up performing serviceably. I guess my biggest gripe would be all the dead time waiting for researched items to complete, and the steep resource requirements to build up the base. Not only that, but I didn't end up using a lot of items, and there were so many different types of guns I didn't really see the point of.
I clocked seventy-two hrs, but I'm sure at least five or six of those were idling for stuff to develop, and another fifteen may have been running around and redoing some missions, and another significant batch of hours was probably in menus or going to and from mother-base. But fifty missions is a lot. A bunch felt like they took an hour, but I did remember getting a bunch of missions in the middle that were like ten minutes long.
