I manage my games by having them all installed. I play most games on a whim, if it's not installed, it's not getting played.

According to forums I guess it is a higher quality graphics mode with uncompressed textures and better DX11 effects? Might explain the gigantic file size.

If I own it and there's a chance in hell I might play it, I want it installed. To me, my steam library is analogous to my shelf of PS2 games, a large library a couple of clicks away. The other half of that 2TB has been reserved for Steam (I've just been using it for temporary data dump).

Also my connection is 6 Mbps, which is ~2.5 GB/hour. Steam downloads tend to jam up my connection increasing latency even for web surfing and renders streaming video near impossible. I prefer to do my downloads overnight or other non-use times.

I know the the feeling though, my laptops have 256GB and 160GB SSDs.

This!

I also tend to add any steam keys to steam right away just so I don't forget that I own those games. Doesn't always work.

There's this little thing called texture compression... It's well standardized on the PC. Mobile graphics is lacking any widely used standard, resulting in the OMG-Bloat size of some mobile games.

Also compressed textures require less memory and bandwidth, resulting in better performance (when memory and bandwidth are stressed).

Thanks took one Grimrock code! Anyone think it'll be cheaper than $7.50 on the upcoming Thanksgiving sale or winter sale?

Probably, at worst it would be the same price as it is with the coupon.

It was $5 the first day of the summer sale. So yeah it will likely be cheaper

I've been away all weekend so I've missed the "free play" bit, what are people's impressions of it?
I had a lot of fun with it. It's a side-scrolling arena shooter. You upgrade your powers to destroy the other team's base. I'm usually awful at these kinds of upgrade-competition games, but I learned fast. I'll wait for a better sale, but I'm looking forward to playing some more.

Does any think the thanksgiving sale is tomorrow?
Old 11-19-2012, 09:02 PM   #7954
When does the Thanksgiving sale usually start? I forgot it was coming up.

Was wondering how this thread grew so much in one non-sale-event day—good info.

Too bad there's no grid image for nSTUPIDmode. Maybe someone on NeoGAF will make a good one.

Yeah, I'm not trying to circumvent taxes at all, I was just curious.

Well, if you're paying with gift cards... you could change you address in steam to a non-sales tax state... since it wouldn't need to match your CC. Never say never. ^_~

Wasn't accusing you of anything. I get taxed up the... and wish I had an easy way around it.

Is it that easy? You'd think they'd require a CC no matter what.
