Ended up with two copies so I'll pass one along.
 
How long do Steam refunds typically take to process? Just put in my first refund request ever - it's for Injustice, since I can't get the game to run worth a damn, and I got tired of beating my head against a wall with it.

Usually an hour to get the response, a day or two to then get the money back.

I think it might change from user to user, but for me it took about half a day for the refund to be accepted, and one more day until i could use the refunded money (it stays at pending furing this time).

But that was on a non-sale time. Might be different during the winter sale.

I forgot to hit auto repost for this, but no one ended up grabbing any of these codes so I'm reposting manually.

I put in a refund this morning (about 9hrs ago) got the money refunded into a pending account an hour and a half later, still waiting for it to actually go into my steam balance.

Took me about a full day to actually get the money back.

ASSAULT ANDROID CACTUS MOTHERFUCKERS

Putting my vote in. Had it for like a year, never touched it. Loaded it last night and got nearly all the way through.

Love the different play style each Android has, and boy is it fun trying to S+ a level. I think Transit is my favorite level so far. Just a super great example of the game and it's mechanics all coming together into a "yeah, I get this and it's my jam." moment.
 
The House in Fata Morgana - Chapter 4

Fuck.

Btw, something curious I've noticed at the beginning of this chapter:
There's text that only shows up in the log after stepping through the last door. ...Ominous text.Link to a screenshot of what I mean.
 
Ugh, humble's recaptcha isn't working for me.
I click the I'm not a robot box, it shows a checkmark but when I click one of the payment options, I still get a "Please verify you are a real person" error.

I guess I'll wait a bit, I only wanted the lowest tier anyway so the price isn't going to change on me.
 
If you thought 3DS was hacked to absurd levels before today... Well, it's now hacked to absurd levels + infinity.

Atlus simply has to release their games on Steam now
 
Ay so anyone got one of those Ori and the Blind Forest coupons that makes the game cost 5 dollars? I'd be reallly happy if so.

Nice try, RoboParnsip.
 
Witcher 3 DLC Question -- I own Witcher 3 Standard Edition on Steam. Is there any reason I should buy the GOTY edition over the Heart of Stone/Blood and Wine packs separately?

I'll probably go with Wolfenstein, Oxenfree and Tales of Zestiria for now.

It's crazy how Doom is still quite expensive tho

It's on sale for cheaper on GMG, just by a bit. Also got a voucher for their sale, WINTER10 (comes out to $17.09 afterward). I bought it for a bit over twice that and feel I got my moneys worth.

Does this mean I can run homebrew and emulators right from the 3DS home menu?
Click to expand...

You could do that for ages, provided you didn't upgrade to the latest firmware and wanted to risk a (miniscule) potential of bricking the system when installing the softmod.
But now, you can do that whenever you want, however you want and there's no possibility of a firmware patch from Nintendo that will change that.
There's going to be a soundhax release soon, which will use 3DS microphone to download the payload for hacking the system.
