I hate laptops at this point. This Dell Inspirion I bought has been nothing but a pain this deployment. Can't wait to get back to my Desktop.

 

[brotkasten]

Dark Souls getting GFWL removed is pretty much confirmed now?

 

[Kadin]

I think I need to stop starting new games before I finish the ones I'm playing. Yeah that's the ticket...

 

[Arthea]

What region are you in?

EU2 it seems to be called, I assume it's for eastern Europe.

Somewhere clean, apparently.

Well, that goes without saying, even DS isn't in my region, no filthy GFWL!

[Sub Zero]

Any Omerta impressions? Tempted to pick up the complete pack from gamersgate because I would love me some Xcom with gangsters. Heard the game was shit though

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

My roommate's and ex-roommate's HP laptops all have the same issue, they sound like they are going to take off when the fan is running at full speed.

My MSI GE60 is still alive and well.

Absolutely regretting not going with an MSI or Asus. Even if I had to take a dive on specs since I had a non-negotiable price point I had to hit, at least I know it wouldn't have shit the bed so badly. Now i'm stuck with a stationary web browser machine where a laptop once sat and will most likely be stuck with it for another few years.

Just say no to HP laptops, folks. It just isn't worth the hassle.

It is?

Horrible.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Can't figure out how to nuke a humble bundle gift link, so here's Fez in an email tag.

Take it off my hands pls

 

[Knurek]

Paypal has been pestering me lately on login to confirm my mobile number so that they can 'send paid text messages with ads' (their words, not mine).
Anyone know of a way to opt-out/disable that shit permanently?

 

[Atraveller]

Somewhere clean, apparently.

Horrible.

I was talking about JaseC.

 

[brotkasten]

It is?

I thought I read that yesterday, but I'm not sure, so it was more of a question.

 

[JaseC]

Well, it's "pretty much confirmed" insofar that Scamco bothered to patch GFWL out of Ace Combat, a belated PC port which surely would have bombed, so the same treatment being given to a belated PC port which did well is simply logical progress.

 

[XShagrath]

The host gets locked regardless of input.

While understandable, it completely nullifies any use I may have for the service.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Haha you mentioned Scamco and logical in the same sentence.

 

[JaseC]

There's a first time for everything!

At least they're not Ubisoft?


Edit: Hey, Valve, the days remaining is gone on Thief. Does that mean I can play it now? No? Why the fuck not?

I'm sure Anno 1404 is coming out every day now.

 

[JaseC]

I'm sure Anno 1404 is coming out every day now.

Good things come to those who wait. Every time Rise of Venice is bumped in the registry my heart skips a beat.

 

[Ban Puncher]

After all that previous adding, I now have people on my Steam list that actually play games.


Weirdos.

It's a good game and worth the wait, I'd say. I still enjoy my boxed copy, despite the terrible DRM.

Also, hey, if Steam would be tracking playtime for non-Steam games, you'd see my activity feed being suddenly 2-3x more active.

You'll change your tune soon enough.

Don't curse me with your avatars

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Coming soon to Indie Royale (not live yet):

 

[Turfster]

Welp, there goes my interest.
"You forgot to maintain the fireplace lit" indeed.
I'd just put wood on it, you liar!

Coming soon to Indie Royale (not live yet):

Looks like I got the right ones after all.

 

[_hekk05]

Interesting trailer.

That art reminds me so much of paradise lost... Why must they do this to me?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Anno 1404 won't have uPlay right?

 

[JaseC]

Thanks!

No worries.

Don't curse me with your avatars

You brought a curse upon yourself when you went with HP.

Anno 1404 won't have uPlay right?

The game predates Uplay and I don't see Ubi putting the effort in to incorporate it.

Everybody dies of hypothermia in the first try.

 

[Da DreadLord]

No worries.

Or they are, and that's why it's taking so long :/

 

[_hekk05]

Inb4 the uPlay guy is obsessed with his work and codes uPlay into it.

 

[Arthea]

No worries.

I see one reason to put some effort, clearly, to annoy the hell out of us.

 

[Turfster]

Everybody dies of hypothermia in the first try.

It's cheating.
I mean, I had put wood on the fire in my last turn before everyone suddenly "died" in the night because the fire went out.
Fuck that =p

Question: If a game in steam.db is tagged with

PurchaseRestrictedCountries CN

does it mean it's not activatable in China ?

Buyable in China only, isn't it?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Stop trying to sell me Dino Horde, Steam!

But it's Ubi tho.

Coming soon to Indie Royale (not live yet):

Gentlemen and Gimbal are MP only, so I'm guessing they are pretty dead, right?

 

[Kiru]

Buyable in China only, isn't it?

Nah. I activated it, and someone who won a giveaway from me, who lives in Italy too. I assume it's really only not activatable in China. (Ridge Racer Unbounded btw)

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Nah. I activated it, and someone who won a giveaway from me, who lives in Italy too. I assume it's really only not activatable in China. (Ridge Racer Unbounded btw)

Theres another field above the country codes "AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries", this determines whether it can only be bought from the Restricted Countries or blocked from them.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Hahahahaha, the prototype for the Ludum Dare is pretty unforgiving and I never survived until the end, if you do a mistake the chances of your crew and you die are high.

 

[Turfster]

Nah. I activated it, and someone who won a giveaway from me, who lives in Italy too. I assume it's really only not activatable in China. (Ridge Racer Unbounded btw)

Weird, I mostly see it for region locked packages.


Amazon is selling a Manhunt 1+2 combo pack for 5$. Only the first one is a Steam key, though.

 

[JaseC]

Question: If a game in steam.db is tagged with

PurchaseRestrictedCountries CN

does it mean it's not activatable in China ?

Only if AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries were set to no and you were trying to activate a key tied to the sub. The PurchaseRestrictedCountries flags have no bearing on gift activation -- that's where AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting and onlyallowrunincountries come in.

 

[Dolor]

Is everyone playing Banished? Or: How the hell is it selling so well? I need to check it out asap.

I haven't played it, but I bought gift copies for my wife and cousin just based on the trailer. I think there's a lot of pent up demand for city-builders especially after how bad Simcity was.

I bought the Prosk Starter Bundle earlier so I no longer need this:

Good game and good giveaway.

 

[Kiru]

Ahh ok. Thanks for that. Yeah the sub says "AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries No" ... Guess I'll still have to put in a disclaimer in my giveaway that it won't activate in China.
