The FPS OSD toggle isn't contained within Afterburner itself. You need to load up C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\Bundle\OSDServer\RTSS.exe (upon loading it'll auto-minimise to the system tray).
Edit: Ah, you found it.

HAHA! I'm glad you like it. It was one of those games I had been wanting a long time and when it hit that flash sale price it was too good to pass up and not pass on. I've only been able to get about 30 minutes with so far but I am really liking it as well.

Congrats! It's a good thing we've lost Pops Maellard to a 24-hour Spelunky binge (rumour has it all hygiene and dietary requirements have now been cast aside), so I think you're safe - those that love Spelunky really love Spelunky, though.
Edit: Yeah, you might not fare so well with Salsa when he catches the news!
Will be very interesting to see where it ends up in the SteamGAF GOTY - top three or thereabouts, I'm guessing.

"It's an over-glorified 2D side scroller with randomization. Give me a break. The game is not close to GOTY material AT ALL." Your "point" was nothing more than your own personal sentiments about how it wasn't worthy of being GOTY. I find your opinion as nearly ridiculously outlandish as the others in that thread that rate Spelunky as being inferior against games with the "Motion capture, "Oscar caliber" narrative and visceral gameplay." requirements that they feel make a GOTY... hahah.
Your tag is well deserved.
I feel like I'm the only one who voted for KR0.

First giveaway of the new year for me! I was fortunate enough to win Papers Please from a fellow gaffer who had a really fun idea for a giveaway (thanks again, Accent). It has been a fun little game for me! Probably one of the best roguelikes I've ever played! SO... here's a chance for the more unlucky among us to get their hands on a free game. Good luck and have fun!

I would have if I weren't incredibly lazy.
There's always next year. And 2015 at the rate things are going.

Was that the only game you played?
Don't Starve got my top vote. Hits all the GOTY hallmarks, its 2D, has randomization, not too sure about over glorified though...PLAY DON"T STARVE GUYS! Seriously though, my favorite game of the year.

ened up going for it at 12.50 from the Humble Store, woulda been the same price on steam
Hadn't booted up the game until I read this and sure enough, I got the same issues.
I'm still pretty new to PC gaming (and indie gaming) so is this something that will be addressed sooner rather than later?

In terms of 2013 titles I also completed BioInf and Tomb Raider!

"Hmmph! I was here first!"
I wonder how many people play the HL1 mod still. I played that a bit back in the day, but my graphics card was so bad (GeForce MX4000) that when I chose that fast jumping alien, it would crash the game lol.

For me, considerations for higher priced games unfortunately weren't the same as for their lower cost fellows which I actually did buy. My picks were these:
5. La-Mulana
4. Volgarr the Viking
3. Papers, Please
2. System Shock 2
1. Spelunky
I would have had FTL: Faster Than Light as my own personal GOTY, because I didn't start playing it until the last week of December 2012, but this was Steam 2013.

Agreed, the learning curve is intense and one bad player can really hurt their team.

You can have mine if you want.
I've been hoping to get a science based tag but no luck.
You should get the tittle of Steam Curator.
Nobody plays it anymore unfortunately, unless certain communities organize games. It had a good run though, but around 2011 when NS2 became playable it was the final nail in the coffin for the community. Before that there were a few 24 player servers that were full every night.
I'd love if they re-release the game on Steam like Sven Coop is doing, because the game was a different experience than NS2.
I felt a bit iffy for voting for KR0 considering it's far from a complete product, but it really did impress me like few games have in more recent years.
Haha, that or Steam Stenographer.
Ghostbusters did came back
That, too! Although I'd label Anno 1404's imminent return as the bigger mind-fuck -- the game being patched almost three years after it was pulled precisely because Ubi couldn't be bothered patching it still seems unreal. I feel like I'm going to wake up, check the registry, and find it was all just a cruel dream.

Same size as the PS3 version if you were considering downloading it. Gotta fit all dat prerendered somewhere
finally got to play Bioshock infinite.
the game looks awesome but up close the textures aren't as great...
gonna play Dark Souls soon too
(and hey Windows 8.1 is pretty awesome)
anyone got advice how to ensure my registry doesn't go all awry when I install steam/origin+games on D: and reformat my C:? I presume they would no longer have the registry references after the reformat?

So I just heard that if you share your library with someone through Family Sharing, and they get a VAC ban while playing one of your games, it will be a VAC ban on your account. True?
If so that's pretty fucked up and inexcusable. They're playing the game from their account, not yours. Not nearly the same as someone logging into your actual account and getting a VAC ban, which I can understand. I seriously hope it's not true because that would make me never want to share my library with anyone, except maybe my boyfriend, and I will be revoking a couple of people.
(This was mentioned vaguely in a recent Family Sharing announcement, then when I asked in the comments someone "confirmed" it.)
Edit: It's true. LOL. Fuck you Valve.

nah mostly all my 4 hard drives being full and everything's essential :/
3 tb just don't cut it :I
the other day I had like 600 kb free on my c: drive. didn't allow me to save my blender project lol
also my 1mb inet connection makes downloading this thing pretty slow
start deleting some games! man. I hope all games make use of Steam Cloud rather than saving my gamesaves to some obscure part of the HD

How else would they deal with ban evading if people could just make new accounts and then get reauthorized from the same sharer's account?

Game is the same size on the PS3, and most of the next gen games are larger than any PC game(Killzone and NBA are near 50, hell Knack is 37)
It can be much harder than the first two games, depending on the difficulty level you choose. No bump system.
That's... fucking bad.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Sad but true. There isn't much Valve could do to get around the issue. If they don't ban the lender's account, this creates a loophole that cheaters can use to effectively "unban" themselves by signing up for a new account and sharing their library again and again.
To be fair, it's meant to be something you would use inside of a single household, so in practice it's no different than having your Xbox live account banned because you gave your brother your login info and he logged in from a hacked Xbox.

I think it is fair enough.
It does mean you have to be very careful about who you share with...but that is also kind of the point of family sharing. How many games use VAC anyway? Just don't share those.
Beaten by you, but yes. The update at least changes it from "anyone on this machine" to "this user on this machine," but it's still... well, like others have said, what can you do?
And apropos of nothing:
Sputnik I fell to Earth 56 years ago today. Here is a bump for a giveaway of some games about space.
Delete League pls.
