Source man! GIVE US A SOURCE!
Yep. My alt account has 2300 games and I've gifted myself plenty of games from idled cards.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
To be fair, I support it too.
Time to rip that band-aid off motherfuckers and get to installing a Linux distro.
I for one welcome our Linux future

Well, they really went there. I have to wonder what those bloody fucks at Microsoft are hoping to gain by this... 2017 to be finally the year of the Linux?
truth be told it's probably not a terrible idea for casuals, old folks and kids. anyone else can simply switch it off in 5 seconds. kinda the same thing they do with phones.

A quick multiplayer account if someone wants to play but doesn't have the game. I'll send them the log in info. Most of the time its in the same room so it isn't a big deal.
Pretty much. I use mine to idle some trash dupes and send the cards back to my main. It requires no interaction whatsoever since it runs 24/7 on my raspi. I just dump keys in a telegram chat and it will redeem these / idle the new games, every week it sends me a trade offer with all steam community items to my main =)

Yea at first glance it looks exactly the same as mobile OS? At least I haven't had that pop up with any traditional EXE installs I've run in the past few days on Windows 10, so I'm guessing it's something app-framework-specific, which ties into the Windows store/app system, and while it's a bit silly when you can just install a normal EXE... normally, whatever.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Let me see if I can find my 50 step guide to installing a Linux distro that includes waking up and constant reminders to inhale and exhale.
like I said in the thread: there is no 5 seconds in this. normal users need 15 minutes to change something in their machine

I thought it was for playing the anime games they're too embarrassed to have in their main account.
Not sure whether you two despise or love the idea lol
I respect your hustle. This is pretty clever.
I did a group project for my Technical Writing class of making a manual for installing and setting up Ubuntu and honestly we had trouble coming up with stuff to pad it to make it long enough. Lots of screenshots and the fluff chapter of "how to customize backgrounds/themes"
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Probably to idle/sell cards on multiple accounts and use the card money from the alt account to gift games to the main account.
It honestly sounds exhausting

Exhausting? How so? I've had no complaints from my kids yet and they've been doing this for a couple years.

Wait, did we pick 2018 as the year of desktop Linux?

Yeah, Linux, especially Ubuntu-derived distributions, has been very easy to install for a long time now. I had my Linux machine up and running twice as fast and with fewer inputs than my Windows 7 and 10 installs.

What's the difference between Idle Master and that other tool linked a couple of pages ago? I mean, having no interaction with the client aside, does it idle faster or what??

got over a hundred card drops from that dollar bundle. nice
ah, maybe I misunderstood it then.

The other one?
You still need the same amount time to idle cards, the biggest difference between this and IdleMaster is that you don't need Steam client
As much as I would like a "Year of desktop Linux" to come, I think that ship sailed when SteamOS was a failure.
Microsoft can basically get away with whatever they want I feel in the desktop OS space. People would just stick with older versions of Windows instead of moving to Linux.

I'd be gaming on Linux if a lot of games ran better.
For example: Shadows of Morder runs a solid 10fps lower on my 970. I tested on both with the same settings. The Talos Principle ran pretty good in vulkan but DirectX 11 still beat it. Windows has a lot of pain points but the games run better.
SteamOS was a red herring. There's no reason to use it over Ubuntu or similar. It's basically just an OEM OS.

but does archisteamfarm have the glitch? got 100 steam cards in a few hours with that
Depends how you want to define failure, as that isn't the case from Valve's perspective. Their work on it still continues, especially in regards to Vulkan, SteamVR Linux, OpenXR, drivers etc. It isn't going to stop anytime soon either
Very nice.
Interesting it has similar specs to Shinovi Versus when the game has considerably better graphics.
my poor wallet, march is going to be a massacre

Thqt is not the wild i was expecting
It will show up on Steam Greenlight in the release date, with a link to MEGA to download your game.

I would be happy with the demo tbh.
Then release on 10th or 17th March.
I still can't believe how SE is acting like PC version doesn't even exist. It's really weird, this silence and not having anything confirmed...
Sony money, best money.
They likely believe that the marketing boost they get from Sony will outweigh the loss in PC sales (and they're most definitely losing sales).
It's pretty annoying being treated as an unwanted afterthought instead of a potential customer.
Square Enix can fuck right off with this shit but on the other hand I don't wish for a good game to fail either.
I'm conflicted.
