I just bought Blacklight: Tango Down successfully, so, yeah, not a general policy change.

Blacklight: Tango Down -- MB-56DAECFC9D0F7D1D - Taken by Casimir


I have been looking for that gif for the longest and I couldn't be bothered to make one.
Thanks.

Haha, glad I could be of service.

So yeah, if you are able to fairly manage your life with an addicting game like this, then go for it, it's amazing!
Conversely, if your willpower is like mine (26 hours in 1 week, also thanks to the fact i'm on vacation, but still...), not even once.

I play an average of 3-4 hours a day. Multiply that by 6-7 days a week...
 
I'm lucky enough to be living in an area where the NBN was installed. However, unfortunately they stopped one street up from mine and the rollout map has no sign of any plans to continue rolling out to my street. It'd probably be faster if I studied engineering at university and connected myself.

Yeah, when the new government got in they completely stopped construction in my area and then denied it was ever being built at all and the website was in error. Of course I and many others saw NBN employees drilling and laying cables, but that was just my imagination apparently. Perils of living in a safe Labor seat!

My internet is also getting shut down on October 1st. Optus after initially claiming they were buying Vividwireless as a going concern, clearly just wanted the 4G bandwidth. Why charge me $79 for unlimited when they can charge mobile users the same for probably <5GB. The future should be interesting, too far away from the exchange for ADSL2+, the local fibre is clapped out and oversubscribed, might be back to dialup. Go team Australia!

No I don't
maybe a little bit.

I've been
grouchy/sad
lately cause all of the meds.

Just kidding, of course. :p

also, CS:GO actually made me more aggressive, at least with my gf who reasonably defined it as "that game I totally hate" :D

Because of Zkylon's post about Divine Souls I wanted to see how it was first hand (and to get that playfire reward?), but two things stopped me on my quest for knowledge.
The first is that like all f2p games, it wants an account. The second is that an account can't be created because I get a service unavailable error on their website.
I guess I'll just leave it running at the login screen for the playfire reward.

Have you tried applying for an NPGDSL line? There's the possibility that your current copper loop is longer than it needs to be and a new line would be shorter. If memory serves, you're not charged at all if Telstra believes the line wouldn't meet the 1.5Mbps minimum requirement.

Picked up Arkham City GOTY for $4 on GMG. Not bad. Looking forward to doing this with Arkham Knight in 2-3 years.

You know you have too many Steam games, when you go great - cheap! , then check your inventory to find you already own it.

Yup. I saw the deal on Dishonored GOTY and thought to pick it up, only to realize I have the regular one sitting in my inventory. Ah, I'll pass.

I guess some visual novel game called Clannad is coming to Steam

@fuwan0vel
From @sekaiproject Clannad will be seeing a release on Steam. Release date is still TBD. Will be full voice edition.

Announced at Japan Expo

Hmm Key shit. It's nice that were getting more visuals novels though.

I honestly think this is a GOOD thing.

I mean, if people had warned me that CS:GO is as addicting as some other online games, I probably wouldn't buy it.
Not after what WoW did to my life several years ago. :D

Haha, don't get to addicted to it. I manage just fine even with this being my most played game. Also I realize I don't have you as a friend. Sent you a request.

Instead of shit posting a bunch I'll actually ask something that crossed my mind earlier:

I had my status set to 'Away' all day today but at some point the Steam community server (friends list) went down, and when it came back up my status had defaulted back to 'Online.'

1. What's up with that?!
2. Is there a way to fix it?

Hopefully Japanese voices, not some crappy American dub.
And hopefully they won't bring the sequel, Tomoyo After over. Just pure smut, starting with 20 minute depraved sex scene.

1) Steam doesn't preserve your status between client restarts or disconnections
2) No

I thought Steam automatically changes your status to Away or Snooze or something when your computer is inactive for a while?

Don't go to bed angry. Take it out on the enemies <3

Have I told you how much i love your avatar?

No you didn't, but it's my default assumption about anybody's feelings when looking at my avatar. :D

Also I'd take everything out on the enemies, but usually I come out like the cardboard target guy in shooting ranges. Glad to help my enemies venting out, though. :D


Haha, don't get to addicted to it. I manage just fine even with this being my most played game. Also I realize I don't have you as a friend. Sent you a request.

Yo, accepting asap! :)

Thanks Jase. Dammit Steam!

It does, but I set it to Away manually often so people don't bug me when I don't want to be bugged. I suppose I could sign off entirely, but eh. I like to see what people are doing, I guess.

It does, but, say, if you had set your status to Away manually and Steam Community later drops out, when a connection is re-established your status will default to Online.

I've dealt with shit like that myself, retail is the worst. Dumbass kids trying to show off in front of their buddies.

I feel old. I don't understand stuff like this anymore.

Oh, right! I didn't consider that you weren't actually away.

It does, but if you had set your status to Away manually and Steam Community drops out, when a connection is re-established your status will default to Online.

Yeah but Steam would just switch back to 'Away' shortly after coming back online anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal (if you are actually away)
