The wording they've used is "final paid DLC", so who knows if that means final final or if there will be some small free thing afterwards. My guess is this'll just be it for content expansions.

You don't sound very excited ^_^
Hey, nice to see you're still around -- and still posting awesome screenshots on Steam!
I knew you'd come out of the woods, now that Serious Sam 4 is a thing.
I bought Parkitect today and have been playing it for 4 or 5 hours. It's really fun and I can easily recommend it if the idea of theme park building/management appeals to you at all.
Here's a screenshot of my park for the second campaign level (which gives you a very narrow plot of land):

How does this get to $12mil? I assume most cards are going for pennies ($0.05$-0.10) Valve doesn't get 100% of that right? It's like 5% or something on marketplace trades. Even with some big dollar trades at like $5-$10 dollars there's no way it gets that high when the vast majority of cards are cheap AF
The real amazing thing is that people are willing to buy in at the $20 asking price after knowing what bullshit the economy and monetization is.
I will check out the overlay thing! Thanks, all
Was about to ask here any recommendations on recent strategy/management games since I'm planning to start playing games again during the later half of December. Thanks Durante!
Just "small" math fail. I was thinking of in terms of cents (so 2 cents * 6 million trades) and obviously dollars and cents are one and the same lol.
Yeah, the fee is 15% and I believe the minimum fee is 2c - so that's minimum ~120k on trading fees, not 12 mil (obviously it would be higher than the minimum).
I don't want to cause another 'incident' by complaining about moderation in Valve threads is almost...non-existent. The new thread is almost unbearable and it's actually good news for literally everyone but third-party key selling sites.
Edit: And I just saw "Would you trust Valve to make a single player game now?" thread...

OK, I'm having a weird issue with Steam Big Picture Mode. O_o
When I launch a game through BPM, controller input works both in the game itself and in Steam BPM in the background (and I hear the Steam menu sounds while I'm playing the game).
Exiting the game, I see that I infact did "roam" through Steam because every input while I was in the game *also* registered in Steam itself.
W T F?
Anyone has/had this issue before?

Yeah that's right.
More specifically it's Valve fee at 5% and game fee 10% with both being min $0.01 and rounded separately.
Nope, haven't heard of that one. Are you on beta client? Always worth a try to cycle beta client sub (on/off or off/on) to see if that fixes it.
Yeah I can see why, I've ended up enjoying both games more than I expected.
I forgot to post this on the actual anniversary, but happy 20th birthday, Thief, my favorite Looking Glass Studios game! I love seeing the community going so strong, with TTLG holding the second-biggest fan mission contest in Thief history, with 27 missions released to celebrate the recent milestone. As a fun trip down memory lane, here's a neat PC Zone preview written by Charlie Brooker and an early trailer from back when the game was called Dark Camelot (and written by Ken Levine).
Remember, only foolish Taffers prefer The Metal Age to The Dark Project!

I dunno about the cause, but I am curious if setting the game to exclusive full-screen would fix this?

In the day I thought Thief looked bad compared to Quake & other contemporaries, so I didn't buy Thief when it was new. I even had a job in a computer shop and I had a store discount and I remember it being on the shelf and talking with the other staff and everyone said I should buy Thief but I didn't.
But now I want to do nothing but live in those graphics. What does that mean?
I went through a similar thing with the Build Engine games. I loved the gameplay, but I couldn't help wish they were running in full 3D like Quake or Unreal. But now, I pretty much love all the mid-to-late 1990s PC game presentation. It's sophisticated enough to create a world you can immerse yourself in, but not so ambitious that the game design risks becoming a bit vanilla or the levels cramped and small to accommodate lighting and physics demands. It's a great balance for me, but I was 9 when Thief came out, so it's super nostalgic, too!
I had anime for Christmas one time. Stayed up all night for the episode, the series finale, to become available, all excited especially after the last episode had set things up wonderfully. I was really excited to see how our titular angels would save the city!
Then Gainax ruined Christmas. Thanks anime.

I'm a lot more nostalgic for those times than the games I had when I was 9, so it might be the games and not the age.
Christmas is usually the time of the year where I don't play any games. Mainly because GF and I have to visit each others families and aren't at home for 4-5 days. I also try to cut down on my internet usage and just catch up with things right before I go to bed (still gotta complain about stuff). And I can't handle all those relatives without alcohol, so for me it's: family, complaining on the internet and beer (lots of it).
What if I want to drink beer while complaining about anime on the internet?
Could be. Just looking at a list of amazing games released in 1998 alone reveals there were lots of seminal titles shipping regularly back then. That said, now's a pretty awesome time for the medium, too!
