To be or not to be, a Steam game.

-
Is it really a Steam game, when you have to go through hoops to play it?

So, you download the game through the Steam interface, and then you go to play it.

Okay, a custom launcher comes up for you to login with... you sigh, and sign up with them, and then login, ready to play.

But then that launcher starts to download the game...


Ugh! I thought Steam handled that!!!!

Usually I'll just cancel the game download. I mean, meh, if they can't bother to make better integration, why should I waste my time on their game.

I wrote an alpha state plugin to RPG Maker MV to try to change an actor's appearance based upon what they were wearing: It starts with the armor, and adding notes to them. Then adding notes on the actor. Then making sure that the items used are in the appropriate directory: Armor: ( Example Note for a hat ) <CCG_ITEM_FACEX_1:accb: armor/FG_AccB_p08_c2_m016 0 > <CCG_ITEM_FACEX_RULE_1: actor.gender==='Male' > <CCG_ITEM_FACE: accb: armor/FG_AccB_p08_c2_m016 0 > <CCG_ITEM_TV: accb: armor/TV_AccB_p08 0 > Actors: (Some tags are here from other plugins) <ECHAttributes> gender:male orientation:female other1:false </ECHAttributes> <CCGProfileFace> body:face/male/FG_Body_p01_c1_m001 1 face:face/male/FG_Face_p01_c1_m001 2 pupil: face/FG_Eyes_p03_c1_m002 62 eyes: face/FG_Eyes_p03_c2 eyebrows: face/FG_Eyebrows_p04_c1_m003 0 -100 -100 -100 eyebrows: face/FG_Eyebrows_p04_c2_m001 0 -100 -100 -100 mouth: ...

digg and lifehacker's new versions

Why are we going back to the days where web sites were programmed to a fixed size and didn't allow you to resize the browser window to whatever the user wanted?
