Quality control isn't steam's job
@Unionhawk hmm I disagree, he has objective reasons for most of his points, and if he doesn't like a game because of it's genre he'll say so
@Unionhawk why?
If GOG can do it with a much smaller staff than why can't valve which is swimming in money
Their job is to provide a storefront for video games. Their job is not to make sure you only find good ones if you buy everything on the front page for some reason
I'd say that given the fact that they control who does and who does not get on steam it is part of their job to make sure their titles run in most cases
That they don't have to release a game as a finished product, then get backlash and then mark it as Pre-release later
There's a difference between checking for false advertising, and quality control.
Not to mention that the quality of a video game is a very subjective thing.
Sometimes bad games are good because they're so hilariously bad.
17:08
Case in point: Surgeon Simulator.
(That game, too, was "released" way before it hit Steam, depending on how you define "released", btw.)
Exactly. That is, by all rights, a bad game. Bad controls, bad design, but it's hilarious.
True enough, but they don't check for false advertising either
And besides, if steam went out of its way to make sure you were only allowed to see good games, then TotalBiscuit wouldn't have a job. Or maybe he'd have a job with Valve. I dunno.
Maybe that's really his angle
When I look at the Steam forums and watch people whining about fairly decent games being "overpriced" at ten bucks, people calling everything a "fraud" that isn't how they like it, and whining about Early Access because it's Early Access, I sure as hell don't want that crappy sense of entitlement encouraged by Valve actively doing quality control.
Your first mistake was looking at the Steam forums in the first place.
17:11
Also, obligatory mobile chat is horrible
2
@Unionhawk Sure, but that's the very same group of people whining the loudest about "lack of quality control"
@KevinvanderVelden They do check for false advertising. They missed, what, two or three instances over the lifetime of the service?
Dear whiners (including and especially TotalBiscuit, since I know you probably google your name every now and then): SHUT THE FUCK UP. <3 Everyone else

Q: What is the optimal algorithm for the game 2048?

nitish712I have recently stumbled upon the game 2048. You need to merge similar tiles by moving them in any of the four directions. Similarly, I mean tiles with the same value. After each move, a new tile appears at random empty position with value of either 2 or 4. The game terminates when all the boxes ...

Q: Mechanics of Invasion

GeeoToday I've been invaded for the first time and I kept being invaded for quite some time after that, in succession. In the beginning only one invader came and he was killed. Another one came and I killed him too. The third time two invaders came and I died. At this point I thought no one would com...

Q: How does Spectral Blade affect Hydra?

AssylumSpectral Blade combined with Flame Blades gives a buff that increases Fire Damage for 1% on each Stack. Does Hydra get the buff while it is active or if I cast it at say 25 stacks and it drops to 20 stacks, does the hydra still have the same damage as with 25 stacks? How does this exactly work?

Q: How to replace ai with human midgame? (multiplayer)

vhgamesI'm running a pitboss sever and we're a quarter of the way through the game, doing a few turns a day. I have another friend who wants to play. Is there a way for the person to take over one of the AI Civs so we don't have to start a new game?

Q: Why do decorator droids just dissapear when sent to a level?

Q: How can I optimize use of Civilization III in VirtualBox

gsyskoI am using VirtualBox to play Civilization III (from Steam) in Windows 7 on my 13" Retina Macbook Pro. The only problem is it's horrendously slow.

Q: Is there any way to speed up capturing?

WandangIs there any way to speed up the capturing in Blitz or Competitve? I heard rumors that taunting would increase the capturing speed. Is this correct?

@ben instant conundrum: I only barely defeated the Maskey Boy, with Kumatora and Boney defeated by the love spam despite my playing the battle at .2× speed thorough to optimise menu traversal times. Should I press forward or try again properly?
Aside: Mother 3 is definitely harder than Earthbound

Q: SWTOR Launch Problems

JoshEvery time I press the play button on the launch screen, the launcher closes but the game never shows up. I've tried all the things Bio-ware suggested. I've even tried some of the stuff other people have suggested to no avail. What should I do?

@badp What about Mother 1?

Ben advises to watch a let's play instead.
I think the fan translation equips your party with the "easy ring" from the start? Whatever that means

Q: How to unlock BroodWar units in original StarCraft campaign?

IvanIs there any hack known to enable BroodWar units (like medics, valkyries etc.) to be built during the original StarCraft campaigns?

Would that count as illegal content? Client hacking isn't really something we allow, is it?
The campaigns are single player, right?
@Fluttershy Sounds more like modding, not hacking

In that case it's the cheat yourself kind of question we do allow.

So far
As far as we know

@KevinvanderVelden This was an unprecedented case, yes.

Ooh nvm
WIGGINS
22:48
> The "targeted killing" of an American citizen was unprecedented. Al-Awlaki's father and civil rights groups challenged the order in court.
I was gonna say there's a list of US citizens the US president decided to kill, but it's a list of people the US president decided to kill
I LIKE WIGGINS
Legally speaking less bad
Misread
Yeh, no
No such list exists, no such list will exist.
@Unionhawk [citation from time traveler needed]
But true enough, they can just put US citizens on the general "To Kill" list
22:51
OH WOW
JERK MOVE SHERLOCK
I mean... it's slightly fucked up, yes, but I don't see you judging Yemen for putting their citizen (same dude) on a similar list.
@RedRiderX ... it's sherlock
@KevinvanderVelden The US is far from the only country though.
An extrajudicial killing is the killing of a person by governmental authorities without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process. Extrajudicial punishments are by their nature unlawful, since they bypass the due process of the legal jurisdiction in which they occur. Extrajudicial killings often target leading political, trade union, dissident, religious, and social figures and may be carried out by the state government or other state authorities like the armed forces and police. Extrajudicial killings and death squads are common in the Middle East (mostly in Palestinian t...
@Ullallulloo true enough, though from that list the US is the only one I can see in a quick scan in the last decade
And US is the country that constantly thumps its constitution for how awesome it is =p
@KevinvanderVelden Thailand and Philippines are also within the last ~10 years.
22:54
Same dude, the other country he was a citizen of, also wanted him dead or alive.
@KevinvanderVelden It is when our leaders actually listen to it.
@Ullallulloo even then there's some flaws, given that it was the first example of such a document, but true enough
Biggest flaw in my opinion is the voting system
Cause that exaggerates every other problem
At the time, it made sense; people couldn't get as informed on what the fuck they would be voting on than they can now.
So you bring in people to figure it out and vote for them
@Unionhawk yes and no, it's the first past the post voting system that breaks it. Using districts is a valid enough shortcut
OH NO HOW IS SHERLOCK GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE!?!?!
22:56
@RedRiderX logic and magic
@KevinvanderVelden Aren't those the same thing if you think about it hard enough?

@RedRiderX logic and magic
@Unionhawk they're both consonent-vowel-gic so they're pretty much the same thing, right
I mean, is magic not logical? What is logic? (don't think too hard or you'll make your head hurt, as I have just done)
23:01
@Unionhawk depends on the system, some magic systems (like say, el goonish shive which is a weird but fun webcomic) are explicitly non-logical
To the point where phrases like "Magic has a flair for the dramatic" are meant literally
But that's more because my new glasses aren't fitted correctly just yet (but I CAN SEE NOW)
Jeah new glasses
New glasses is always fun and kinda annoying until they fit your head properly
Especially the bit that rests on your nose, damn that hurt until I tweaked it
OH SNAP
WOWOOWOOWOWOWOW
@RedRiderX the end where the helicopter arrives? :o
The place I get mine usually fits them for me with fancy heat-up-the-metal-and-bend-it technology, but I wasn't able to do that because my parents picked them up and took them up to me
23:03
OOOOOOOH SNAP
@Unionhawk yeah they do that at my place to, but you can't really get the nose thing right
It was offset just a slight bit so that after a couple of hours it started hurting and you could see the entire wait of the glasses was pressed on a tiny point
Which wouldn't be bad except if it's there for the entire day
@Unionhawk Ryan O'Neal is the best worst actor.
That's one of my standard reaction YouTube videos, for when reaction gifs aren't enough

I think you people would still be boring regardless of whether or not I ordered pizza.
Probably partially because "bored" is one of my near-perpetual states
Are you trying to replace @kalina?
'Cause that ain't gonna work.
Trailer Park Boys is the best
No, if I wanted to do that, I'd just say "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED" over and over
