Personally I think Valve should have started letting us upload high quality screenshots about 5 years ago...

I don't mind screenshot compression that much, after all they are all kept for eternity, also storage space we get is huge, and servers aren't cheap.
Even more so that you can have an alternative source for uncompressed screenshots when such need arrives.
 
You might be interested in ShareX. It is really a matter of a few clicks to upload an image.

Thanks, looks indeed very useful. I might try that GIF screen recording functionality, if it works with videos too. But i still want to know if steam compression is really that bad as some people saying.

Happy belated birthday to all the older people from 2 days ago and get better Xelios! I've never been food poisoned before but I Heard crazy stories related to that, so my best wishes to you!

And rare steaks are how they're supposed to be eaten, sorry :p

For you.
I know I shouldn't be annoyed but this, but I am.
They should fix the damn game, sort out why translation was applied this way and fix it, do something about performance while their at it, before doing bikini dlcs.
I mean, its DLC they were doing for the PS4 anyway and it was probably already done before release or its contents were pretty much ported to PC in around 20 minutes. It's not like the extremely small attention this DLC had to be developed could just be focused on fixing the PC port instead.
 

xelios

Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
A special thought for Xelios. Get better!

Thanks! I've been in bed for almost 36 hours now and my back is killing me. I feel pretty much the same today but hoping this all goes away soon. I don't think I can ever eat a burger again.

and get better Xelios!

Thank you!

I am actually wondering if its the same person doing all those bundle trash giveaways since 2 weeks...

Nope. Some anons hide a good game or two in with their mystery bundle giveaways, some don't. And some, for some reason, use the raffle rule for trash, which is weird because it gives the impression it could be something decent when it's not. I've noticed several different "personalities."

I had food poisoning with undercooked chicken 14 years ago. Haven't touched chicken since :/

Nier is too good man. I just wish this hitching when running through the world would disappear. But the game is so fun that it's allowing me to push past my OCD.

yea I know, that's why I said I shouldn't be annoyed by it, but it just can't be helped

Have you tried running the game from a SSD? If so, and it didn't help, RAM drive?
(Just put the main game data, not the videos, unless you have 128+ GB)

Storage space is actually not that expensive on the scale that Valve is operating at. But they could monetize it by doing something like 1GB space added for every 10 Steam community levels or just outright sell it (like they used to do with TF2 backpack expanders). It could be optional too so let people decide whether they want fewer high quality screenshots or if they're okay with the current, compressed JPGs we get. More options are always better right?

even with the state of Firis, I hope we can get that Gust take on Persona formula on steam - Blue Reflection.
Unless they decide that we don't want it after Firis.

BTW you all should buy Atelier Sophie, because it's really worth buying.

We still got Toukiden 2 after the first so maybe there's still a chance
I hope we get it and it's at least on par with Sophie port wise, the game looks interesting

Atelier on Steam is what we should have expected but still sad to see dammit Koei

Well, uploading all my screenshots to some other site outside steam just to post them in specific thread on forum is not really useful in my opinion. Steam is good for screenshots storing and hosting, and i never saw any real complaint about compression from Steam side. Is there any side-by-side comparisons of non-compressed and steam screenshots? I'm just really curious from where this rule is coming from.

In the Steam client go to options>in-game and tick save an uncompressed screenshot copy (or something similar) and then you can check yourself with your own screenshots to compare.
 
How are people selling Nier backgrounds/emotes? Is there a way to have a shorter/no restriction on the marketplace or is it refund related because I purchased via Steam? I crafted some badges on release day and can’t sell my 2B/A2 backgrounds until 3/24/17; if I could dump them now and make my money back on the game that would be pretty awesome, as nice looking as they are. I can wait until the hype cools down to pick them up again.

Do you have Steamguard enabled?
edit: I think if you buy cards on the market you can't sell them for a certain amount of days. This will also cause the items that you created with the bought cards to have the same restriction.

Talking about Firis, I'd like to bug KT/Gust about those misplaced translations, not that I believe they will fix it but I have to. How would you go about it? They have no presence on steam boards for Firis at all before you ask. And I know no japanese enough, nor I know who did that translation - porting.

For you.

Just have a bunch of gems stocked up and you won't need to wait for items to be sella me.

I do have SteamGuard enabled, I used a bunch of gems and even had a booster pack drop for me but must've bought some cards on the market causing the restriction; thanks for the info guys. Hopefully they'll hold their value for the next few days.

I mean at the beginning the mystery giveaways were more used for the first case, but right now it seems for the latter case they give away their trash-games in mystery giveaways. I am not quite sure why, but could it be to be eligible for the megagiver rule? I mean I still have like 10 unclaimed keys or so from bundle-trash and no one takes them, because they have it already. But as a mystery giveaway the chances someone takes them and you get +1 for the megagiver rule is higher.

Edit: Btw. Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak: Special Gigs is out already. March is like a HUGE month for steam ports. Atelier Firis, Nonnary Collection, Nier, Senran Kagura, Tokyo Twilight, banned game 2, Toukiden 2, Operation Abyss....

Am I the only one here who is NO STEAK at all?

Though I admit, FF15 had incredible foodporn, even the meat dishes.XD
I am no steak, never really liked it at all. I had a family gathering a few months ago and we went to an extremely fancy steak place so I decided to give steak one last shot thinking if I could like steaks it would probably be here. But nope, it just didn't do anything for me.

Give me a good burger over steak any day.

I believe someone here preordered it and was very disappointed in it, but played it to completion. Its presentation and controlls/interactivity are so far out there and from an older era were the criticisms.

Check out an indepth review before getting it, I'd say.

That may well have been me.

I was very much looking forward to it, but quite simply I found the writing to be incomprehensible gibberish. Very disappointed.

Banned game 2? Huh?...

The funny thing about the Firis bikini costumes is that they've been in the game since day 1. I looked into cheat engine stuff for skipping some grind on ng+, and turns out there's a 'unlock all costumes' toggle in the cheat table that gives you the bikini costumes too.

bro i haven't even played the game but i know you can't review it after only one ending.
I understood that reference.
But i still want to know if steam compression is really that bad as some people saying.
Purely on numbers, Steam jpg compression is at about 90% and has visible compression artifacts which is why they aren't allowed on the screenshot thread. Jpg's at about 98% are more or less indistinguishable from lossless.
