germtm.@lemmy.worldto Steam@lemmy.ml•Who thought that it would be good idea to block gifts if they are over 10% in price difference33·2 months agomy hunch is that this was done in order to prevent people from getting games for way cheaper by the proxy of having a friend from another region give it to you.
still, i do find this stifling, since i struggled with this problem before as well.
i’m going to celebrate Pi day by celebrating my birthday.

it especially sucks for Doom: The Dark Ages since both Doom 2016 and Eternal were considered very optimized for their times of release.

germtm.@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Is Half-Life Opposing Force still known to current gamers, or is this a side game that's fallen through the cracks.English18·5 months agoi’d like to imagine that people who don’t know about OP4 {and Blue Shift, to an extent.} are people who aren’t really familiar with Half-Life either. i’d argue Decay is the most obscure of the official campaign expansions, since it officially only released on the PS2 port of HL1.
my personal fascination with the HL expansions is the fact they kinda influenced the modding scene by inspiring people to make numerous mods that are about “reliving the Black Mesa incident, but you are [INSERT PROTAGONIST HERE].”
germtm.@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•What games have you sunk the most time into?English31·5 months agohere are my timesinks.
there are slight caveats to that data. first of all, i actually have more time spent within Terraria, since i have about 144 hours recorded in tModLoader.
and second of all, i do estimate about 250 hours spent in Fallout: New Vegas as well. but since i own it on GOG and not Steam, i do not know for sure.
i can’t access it from the desktop.
same on my end.
looks like it’s the classic Steam “losing it from major sale event” moment.
