You're right, just checked. They didn't do that when I ordered my last cards one or two years back if I'm not mistaken.

They started selling them with the Launch of the PS4, also codes for PSN store games (depends on the publisher if their game is listed or not).

I am now cursed to forever purchase steam wallet cards at 22.64% markup because of Singapore tax.

At least I'll be able to experience black friday once while I'm in the US

There are alternative online stores that can get that stuff for you at a better price. B/S/T thread here also has some steam card sellers.

EDIT: Can't you link your bank account to your paypal and buy them directly off steam too?

You'd think it's enough I already have a normal verified account

I gave up on a PayPal account because of that shit. Give them what they want, and then they asked for a scan of a utility bill and my state ID after a year. Did it once, they asked for it again 6 months later. I finally just said fuck it. Didn't use them for a few years.

Although I opened a new account a couple months ago with a new email.

I had to google "quiche". As I understand it's just a torta salata (italian name).

My favourite type is with spinach, prosciutto cotto (I usually despise it, but prosciutto crudo is unfortunately too strong for this) and cheese (usually Fontina).
I tried with mozzarella instead of Fontina once. I'll never try again.

Currently on paypal boycott. I take my boycotts pretty seriously

I suppose eventually I'll get a credit card.

Go early or forget about it. Black Friday is a nightmare.

It's less about the deals and more about checking out how crazy it is

When I was a small child I ate some quiche at a little buffet thing for a family event, thinking it was pizza. I was so upset that I haven't eaten quiche since.

I know you guys got prepaid VISA debit cards there. Just buy one, fill it up with money, and pay for a Steam wallet balance using that card directly. No Paypal, no mess. That's what I'm currently doing with my Steam and Amazon purchases.

Yeah, the more I think on it, the more I dislike it. I mean, maybe it isn't bad-- on a scale of 1 to the level cap in Disgaea, I wouldn't give it a negative number-- but it's just....

Well, it has cards. That's something.

you know what's funny, I don't consider Disgaea combat good either, it's not bad, no, but also Disgaea is the most grindy of them all, TRPGs.
Talking about really good TRPG combat, besides regular suspects as FE or FFT, I liked Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume combat a lot. It took time for it to grow on me and it's good mostly because of certain plot-story induced mechanics, which blew my mind. Also there is a real branching story in that one and it's not grindy at all, that helped, I think.
There is still hope that one day we might get FFT on steam, I would replay that one, gladly.

edited: Rhaknar will hate me now even more, what's hardly possible already, me having different names on steam and gaf and all that. (><)

DBS stopped providing that one. I think MayBank still provides it, but I gotta go check their fees.

Disgaea combat is amazing. Prinny bomb strats
 
Amazon is lame >_<


Also didn't realise I had to submit proof of randomness for my title, so here's mine
I'm unsure if you're aware, but you can use an Amazon wallet on "Maximus Cards" which sell Steam Wallet codes and email them to you directly. I've only had good experiences with them thus far as any time I've had an issue (got my first wallet code through them and it was already used; emailed them and the customer service was pretty helpful in resolving my issue by sending another a few hours later without question). I would be somewhat wary about recommending them, and there is a bit of a mark-up, but overall I find it a pretty good site even if I'm always hesitant about using them.

What is wrong with CS? alot of cooldown shit in this game
The one and only time I played traditional CS:GO online, there were a few matches where all my teammates went and got themselves killed and meanwhile I capped like 3 guys and they kicked me before I could try for the other two because I guess they didn't like that they fucking sucked and just wanted to hurry up and run to their doom again. I didn't appreciate people voting me out while I was doing a better job than them, and I haven't played traditional mode since. This cooldown sounds like a decent way to lower the douchebag factor of the community without needing to find a clan.

heads up, if you guys have Groupees The Indie Bundle and you havent redeemed your Asteria code at the dev website, you might want to do it since they are saying on the steam forums they will send steam keys to people that bought it on the store

edit: also Revenge of the Titans -- MB-65EBF9C60E340970 still available
