I left it over night and had those last 3 lines repeat the entire night. Thoughts?
Maybe it's that one game that takes ages to drop cards again. iDLEM@STER has already found his arch nemesis.

My world is a lie.
Glad your modbot issues are sorted though.
The cake was only the beginning! Ya, thanks =) time to get real in here!

oh, they had, not much, but had at the start, basically all cards that I checked, the problem was that all thing just blown up in later days, when people stopped believing in winning that blasted metagame (><)
To be fair, this situation not necessary will be repeated at winter sale at all, we don't know how it will be handled.
Hm yeah, you're right. Guess some wait and a good enough timing could make some nice difference in the bank. We'll see if I can hold out for so long :> on the other hand, who needs steam money anyways until there's a sale.

@Indigo Prophecy, may try out the demo then

Damn, outside of the "Minecraft" graphics (and Rust's "LOL NAKED" start), Unturned is basically what I want(ed, still do) DayZ to be: Singleplayer, "walking-sim"/survival. With the option to host your own servers AND make them PvP or PvE. Funny that a 16-year-old can nail what I want, but Bohemia takes 2+ years with a mod and can't get that, double so when there's elements of that (given it's on the Arma 2 engine!) being completely possible. Give me the Cherno map with random zombie spawns if needed, fix the zombie AI and boom... you'd have my ideal DayZ, DayZ... :/

Now if the zombie AI can be tweaked to where they don't chase you for miles (I get that it's "realistic" in terms of zombies having more endurance than you, but damn... if I'm in inventory, I shouldn't have to haul ass for miles to fumble through inventory on an elevated platform) or notice you despite their back being turned and may get off the "Minecraft" graphics which makes it hard to identify zombies/items at a distance at times, I think Unturned could possibly be a contender. Dude seems to be listening to his community, which is great.

It seems like you want a product Bohemia is neither motivated or ever promised to deliver.

Besides the +12 and cards, blink bundle worth it for 4.99? Ya I know you can't really count the cards out. Idlemaster needs his offerings.
But gamewise?

btw a TiuTis wants to add me on Steam. You from Neogaf, mate? There doesn't seem to be a way to talk to him without adding, eh?
 
I don't think I ever had a less successful giveaway lol. All of these spares from Blink are still available:

Tired of waiting for Fahrenheit to come to Steam.

I sent a tweet to the head of the studio about bringing the game to Steam. He responded that the game was available on gog and that was that.

the steam registry? but I dont know how to work that voodoo

Likely won't show far enough back in time.

Oh boy, new Nvidia drivers. Why they need Steam to be closed to install, I'll never know.

Edit: cool, these ones didn't remove my downsampling resolution like the last batch.

Always choose the clean install option when installing your drivers.

You can either backup your downsampling resolution, or enter it again after you are finished.

So. Will there be another July thread? :)

No

For you.
idle master question (I pm'd jshacks...but figured I'd see here as well). It doesn't seem to launch a 2nd game.

When the first game has no more drops, I see the following :

Same here.

Well worth it for Whispering Willows, quite a nice game and very very recent!

Some games (Blade Symphony, I think?) have terrible drop rates, so you'll be stuck seeing that over and over. The script does have a built-in insanity check that should skip a game after 50 cycles, or 12.5 hours.

I don't have any of those games, so my progress has been pretty decent so far.

(If you have/know Python, maybe add "if k == YY: stillHaveDrops=0" in the loop to move along to a better game?)
 
Usually you can check his groups. If he belongs to one of the many neogaf groups, its a safe bet

Once time a real girl added me on Steam, real talk.
She wanted to know how I was taking screenshots, and posting them in community, on a game where F12 isn't working

No. With August being less than two days away it makes more sense to just continue with this one for a little while longer.

So, no more copies to give away of Murder in the Hotel Lisbon then.
I promised to offer 4 more in case we got to the 4th July thread :D

A random Russian dude added me a while ago , we didn't have any groups or friends in common, I was all excited for my first scammer. Turned out to be a perfectly normal person, I was slightly disappointed. :p

So cloning HDDs sucks, I can't access any of my videos, music or games because they're all on those drives and I can't stream anything because my internet is Australian.

I'm having a wonderful time.

That's not the issue here. A game is launched. All drops are done. The program does not start idling another game after that.

Why don't you go outside and make friends with the snakes and the kangaroos and the crocodiles?

Also you totally should have copied a season of anime or something to your phone so you won't be this bored.

well you could stream something, but you'd have to use a vpn - the terrorists law

(p.s. where abouts? i'm in melbourne)

You don't make friends with the wildlife, you command the wildlife. You have to assert your dominance over them early or you'll be eaten in your sleep when your guard is down.

(p.s. where abouts? i'm in melbourne)

I can't stream anything, even goddamn YouTube. It's like the middle ages here.

I just thought about reading a book and am now thoroughly disgusted with myself.
 
You're not alone.

good to know. Thanks

Maybe it's that one game that takes ages to drop cards again. iDLEM@STER has already found his arch nemesis.

But it isn't actually running (idling..) the game, it gets stuck in the Sleeping for 15 minutes loop and there isn't anything saying I'm in game. Same situation occurred with two separate games.

Probably just a bug.

60k posts within a month? That's a pretty solid effort.

I think that's debatable. It is the first post-sales month so some of it can be explained. The first thread was blown through in 3 days. I imagine August will have 1-2 threads.

Okay, turns out he's... NOT. Activate emergency safety protocol, omg. How has he found me?

Well worth it for Whispering Willows, quite a nice game and very very recent!
But my backlog :(

Another question for science, when's the time most of SteamGAF is up and running?
 
servers were still fucked when I left for work, I wouldnt bother trying again until tomorow really. And yes characters are 2d, environment 3d. Also I forgot how fucking FAST you walk in that game lol.

I've just played it for one hour and half and everything was quite smooth overall, and I must say I've enjoyed it very much, i recommend evryone to give it a try.

NeoGAF is primarily a US and UK site. So the hours when they are awake are the most active for the site and the Steam thread. Some regulars in the Steam thread post during off hours at a higher rate than the general site traffic, but they are outliers.
