RIP Salsa's mailbox. Also I believe you can only buy a single copy of a game on Nuuvem because it ties it to your account and doesn't let you buy more after that.

You know while some folks are getting all bent out of shape about Tom Clancy's The Queue I think what we should be focusing on here, that while yes there are anti-social jumping jackarses blocking peoples progress, the fact that so many folks, real human beings, manage to cooperate and form an orderly queue, with no line cutting or pushing in, in a fucking video game of all things, should be commendable for us as a species. Even looking at the Uplay ID Exchange spreadsheet I put up no one selected the Rouge Agent playstyle. Brings a tear to my eye *sniff*.

British Simulator 2016: Rule Britannia.

Speaking of all things British, did you see the quiz on The Gruan this morning, 'How millennial are you'? Apparently I'm a generation Xer with generation Y tenancies. Bottom line is I'm an old git trying to be down with the kids. Going to have to get my Steve Buscemi, 30 Rock outfit on the go to complete the package.

I thought they were positioned like that because the game programs spawns like that?

Is it? Oh well and here's me thinking humanity was on the up.

No, I'm fairly certain that people spawn in a small room behind the desk over there. As far as I can tell this is actually people lining up to take their turn, which is mildly amusing to look at but not required since you can interact with the laptop from various angles around the table.

Speaking of the Division, anyone playing it should pick hard difficulty for the missions you can choose it in. It makes the experience much more interesting. The enemies hit harder and have more health. Last night my group had some pretty tense moments and we actually had to play carefully instead of just mindlessly shooting our way through. Of course this works best with a group of friends you can communicate with.
 
Thanks. Just bought it.

How hard is Blood Money on Professional? Are there checkpoints in each mission?
I completed Absolution on the highest difficulty if this can help.

Also a summary of the upcoming MGSV patch:

Please note only the knife, some appeal and some adjustments should be free, remaining stuff is for DLC purchasers. The only good thing is the BGM selection, really great stuff here. Sadly, you need to pay for it.

Well, I just got finished selling everything in my inventory that's worth more than $0.30, since after tomorrow I'd have to wait over two weeks to get the money. Now I've got about $25 to spend, thinking of seeing what all the fuss is about Stardew Valley but kinda don't want to considering it seems to be a long game that's sucking people in.

do it!
it is very addictive, true and not short by any means, but you can play it in as short sessions as 10 minutes if you wish so, as days are very short and a game saves after every day.
It is a very good game, and being a game you can play for months doesn't make it any worse.
 
Question is what ratio of the remaining 37.4% idled or +1ed?
My understanding is the +1s are not players so shouldn't count in this number but then the idlers would count as players?

I really don't know thought but I wrote some stuff a fews ago using Raining Blobs (as it has leaderbaords so you can cross correlate with achievements) which implies that the +1s are the majority (or Steam Spy power levels are out by a factor of 4 and nobody redeems indiegala purchases) but man the idling rate of Raining Blobs is brutal (or maybe the difficulty is :( ) considering the most popular achievement has around 6% :(

Finally beat the dealer in Hand of Fate. I am not ashamed now to say I did it on easy cos it still took me a tonne of retries >_>

Really cool game, but fuck sake that difficulty spike at the end is plain BS

I need to finish it too, some day
That ending sounds like stuff of nightmares tho
I don't remember, do you have to restart a game to change difficulty?


unrelated edit:
are market restrictions not up yet?

No, you don't need to restart the game if you want to modify the difficulty. It's done at the deck builder right before you start the next boss run.

ForceStrategyGaming did a 24 hour stream and got from 1-30 on the Division in that time. Really hoping the rumored horde-style mode is good. I prefer coop and pve to pvp.

So what's the best deal on The Division right now?

BST is full of buy requests with no one selling, and Salsa literally can't buy keys for everyone here :p
So who's cheapest?
