everyone I know that plays games loves steam. some will admit that it is DRM but still forgive it because of things like steam sales. it makes me sad. 

Steam is one of the reasons why PC Gaming is still relevant. 

used to suck a big bag of donkey dicks. But it's a much better service than it used to be.

I actually prefer the steam model over the console model, pricing, availability and backwards compatibility. 

Yeah, Steam Sales definitely make up for a lot. I've played half a dozen or more games which turned out to be excellent that I wouldn't have bought at regular price.

On the other hand, I got suckered in by Alien Isolation. 

right, and i didn't make this point explicitly in my post, but the problem with steam is that it is not clearly evil. just slightly not evil enough to turn most people away from it. this is what makes it evil ironically, because it's a slow and gradual acclimatization to DRM. 

thank you 

I don't think it's a far cry to say that PC gaming still exists because of Steam. 

Haven't used it much or recently but some things: Ads in your face at every launch, demos do not exist anymore, everyone is ok with asking valve if they may play something or at least telling valve they are playing and how long, some shitty company knows about all the games you have, for many games there is DRM, 

 

yeah, i try to get all my games from there when I can. sadly not all stuff on steam is available there. 

Yes, I am awaiting Galaxy! 

Demos not existing anymore is not Steam's fault in the slightest. 

This Duke couldn't get in Steam
because it refuzes my earlier 3DNukum

But win10 sounds like the general GUI is ok.

Great read. Thanks for the link! 

i hate func_trains and
think that they really suck;
why are they so bad?


seriously, why do they teleport to the first path_corner you target them at? that means if you want to do several spaced out trains, you need that many path nodes, which introduces slight noticable stops into the path. Why not just let them start where I built them in the level and just float toward their first path_corner? 

It's sp you can light them in separate areas... 

oh crap, you're right, that actually is super useful for what I am doing... I was positioning things really carefully and trying to light them each reasonably the same way... but fuck that, I'll just stack them and they'll all light exactly the same.

Also... I am dumb, I can just make path_corners that are only start positions, they don't have to be part of the chain. 

Good idea, I made them part of the chain for a stupidly over complex map I abandoned ages ago.

Quake is great for these types of proto hacks.
