Yeah I haven't seen him post since earlier this morning and he hasn't been on Steam at all .

He mentioned to me that he may not be able to post for a while due to personal issues.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Is Whispering Willows only foil cards? All 3 drops I've had from it are foils.

You really are the fallen one, aren't you?

Yeah, normally he's in here posting a lot -- seemed odd to me that I hadn't seen him -- I think seeing the post about CS:GO reminded me I hadn't seen him hyping game night or anything recently.

Ys 1 is so, so enjoyable. Only 4 hours in, and I'm already in love with it. I hope I can get the soundtrack somewhere, because it's beautiful.

Came in expecting an outdated RPG with shitty combat, ended up finding a great game with an interesting plot and a well done combat system. In fact, I decided to play it today instead of God of War on PS3 (which I'm playing for the first time, not counting that time I tried the beginning at a friend's house many years ago), and I don't regret it at all.

The combat takes some getting used to, but the game is good...

I'm glad you enjoy it! It feels like most of the posts I've seen about it talk about how outdated/retro and simple the combat is, when in actuality it's really a very fun system.

Spoiler

You should still play God of War, though.

Congrats..thats just crazy luck. I get like 1 foil for every 100 drops.

Wow, I'm glad you're liking it! The game is pretty short, so you should be coming up to the final boss soon. I can't wait to hear what you think of Ys II.

 

[Jiggaloboy]

I finally got Idle Master to work. I never bothered to set a vanity url for my profile and the config text file wouldn't work with my name or the generic numbers that I had been assigned for my steam profile. Turns out all I had to do was set my steam profile url to match my name and it works. Hope this helps someone else.

Also, Idle Master kicks ass, thanks guys!

you won't be saying that when you fight the final boss

that guy sucks

 

[corrosivefrost]

Don't think they'll sell though....

 

[Tizoc]

What is this Idle Master you lot speak of?

 

[Ozium]

Foil cards suck.

 

[Kifimbo]

Is Whispering Willows only foil cards? All 3 drops I've had from it are foils.

If cards have a 1% chance to be foil, the probability of getting 3 foils in a row is once in a million.

 

[chronomac]

I haven't had a foil in months. The first three booster packs I got had foils in them, though.

 

[gillty]

For too long have I passed on Binary Domain, it will be mine.

Just remember to buy that revival item. Wait, does Ys 1 have a revival item? Or was that introduced with Ys II? Heh.

 

[Ventara]

It's a rhythm/idol management game.

Nah, I'm kidding. I think it's this program one of the guys just made to help get card drops from a lot of games at the same time.

 

[Caerith]

Foil cards suck.

I think foils, or any cards really, are more likely to sell at a good price during the sale events when there's an incentive to craft them. A mystery badge instead of a coupon, points for your team, etc.

 

[Stumpokapow]

If cards have a 1% chance to be foil, the probability of getting 3 foils in a row is once in a million.

Which means if a million users earn three cards each today, there's a 67% chance at least one of them gets 3 foils in a row. Now we just need to do napkin math on what percentage of Steam users post on GAF

i did beat the game like 5-6 months ago

after like 20+ retries

never playing the game ever again lol

 

[darkchewie]

That game does look interesting.

The achievements are funny too... and a little disturbing.

Spoiler

Don't look some of them up on the Urban Dictionary.

 

[Rhaknar]

Industry Empire looks good in screenshots, wonder how much it is? Probably too much like all these sim games :/

Oh sounds tempting, it's by jshackles right? I'll look it up later.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Tried to add idle master as a steam executable but it seems to bork the whole thing XD Works when running it normally though. jshackles you are a gaben amongst mortals

Good to see that it was only temporary.

[kulapik]

I couldn't ask this question since I was banned, but jshackles, what 's the green or red bar on the website that then becomes a point? I'm curious.

a loading bar

 

[jim-jam bongs]

where had you been hiding anyway jimjam? before you ressurfaced recently that is

I got married, had a baby and moved to the US. I wasn't hiding, just buried under the obligations of husbandry and fatherhood. Still am tbh:

 

[Momentary]

REX ROCKET looks amazing. Damn. All these games!!!

Yo, congrats! That's a lot of responsibility, but I'm sure you'll manage. Try your best to squeeze SteamGaf in.

 

[Mono]

Edit: Lol, wrong thread!

 

[inm8num2]

Awww. Nice picture.

 

[Tizoc]

Hmmm....just hope it'll a good game, these 'retro inspired' games have a lot to live up to now.
In this game's case, the sprites etc. aren't THAT encouraging.

 

[fernandes]

When it's red it's because something did not load correctly.

[masterkajo]

3 foils in a row is pretty crazy. I didn't even get 3 foils in my whole card drop career.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Hey, I have an angry little girl on me fighting sleep like it's a death sentence and I'm still posting with one hand while holding her with the other. You chop both my arms off, I'd probably still find a way to squeeze it in.

 

[Pop]

First foil I got was the first badge for Awesomenauts.

 

[Sarcasm]

With idle master

do I put my steamid in top? Which would be my profile id or the number id?

Also do I remove the " " ?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Steamid is name

Put everything between the " "

Follow the PDF for the other two categories.

it'd be your profile ID, and you leave the " "

 

[Beelzebubs]

Seems today has been a day of mixed luck, 3 foils in a row offset by needing a trip to the hospital. But now I have bought Divinity, my week is now good!

 

[Parsnip]

If anyone would like to try out my new program (which I'm calling "Idle Master") you can get it here: https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master

I'm going to be AFK for a little while with real life stuff, but I'll try to answer any questions I can. Please keep in mind that this is still in really early stages - it may contain bugs or not work for everyone. If you encounter any issues with it, feel free to PM me and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

You're the boss, boss.

 

[Curious_George]

At least there's no question what this is inspired by. Those boss doors!

Fuck the 200 card limit.

I want to unload these Tails in the Sky cards. =(

Uh, fill out the form?
It's not rocket science.

I thought you just had to fill out a form, then you could continue on your way?

Exactly.

But don't you get taxed or something?

No.
Only if you make more than like $600 in a year from the marketplace -- it's somewhere around that threshold, I think, that businesses are required to report your income to the IRS and then you have to put it on your taxes for the year (which even if you somehow managed to make $600, shouldn't be a real factor in your taxes, one way or another).

So I got jshackles' program working. Do I need to do anything once it starts? I just let it do its thing right?

You can also de-list other cards that haven't been selling.
