Did I missed an indie bundle that has Town of Salem or something like that ?

Humble Monthly

 

[Sub Zero]

If anyone wants Banner Saga, I have a spare key. First PM gets it

edit: Taken

 

[Asiratlan]

For the first time in a long time I regret to not have picked the monthly bundle

 

[venomenon]

Just learned that my new rig is scheduled to arrive tomorrow *_*
...and I'm probably gonna play Epistory and Lost Castle on it all day long.
Totally worth it.

 

[Jme]

they're going for 2$ over at the BST

Whats BST?

Edit nevermind, Buy/Sell/Trade I assume

 

[Teppic]

Why doesn't Steam have a notice about Denuvo when they do it for other third party DRM? It's very annoying having to check the game forums for every game to see if it has it.

Technically, its not DRM. I am sure if you write Gabe about it, he will do something about it by the next total solar eclipse

 

[Leafhopper]

Played some Ziggurat this morning. That's still a really fun game. I need to play some more Darkest Dungeon though.

Got a new CPU cooler after 3 years of this CPU. I dealt with stock coolers all my life but I can't stand this fan anymore.

the new G403.

I kinda want it but, I have been using this Blackweb Walmart mouse that was on sale for 10 bucks for awhile now and I have been like it a lot. This I will probably get later. I like the look of it and 2 side buttons is all I need anyway.

If i try to refund a game i've played for 2.5 hours, so half an hour more than allowed by steam, am i entering filthy thiefing territory?

Cos i'm honestly not feeling Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

The visuals are great, but in 3 hours, i've already died three times and had to play the same content all over again, with just the lishgtest variations.

It feels like a roguelite without the randomization outside the few dice roll you get in a handful events.

The combat system also is really slow, which makes it a chore veryyyyyy fast, since it's not very complex and relies on you knowing the move sets of the enemy more than anything else.

Refund approved. I'm a filthy thief.

I hope the devs, Tin Man Games, adapt other books in the same way despite your refund.

Technically, its not DRM. I am sure if you write Gabe about it, he will do something about it by the next total solar eclipse

Which is to say in less than a year.

[Mivey]

Technically, it is, though.

Not at its core. Its making the machine code unreadable by way of obfuscating is, like most website are with their JS code. Then they added additional checks, when people were bypassing the existing DRM (like Steams or Origins). That's like the equivalent of bandaid, since it still has to use the original DRM in some way, for the account details. I guess DRM enforcer? That's a good metaphor. You have the puny Steam DRM and a burly dude who makes sure you don't fuck with the DRM.

This month's Humble Monthly was a mixed bag. Sheltered is the only game that was on my wishlist. Epistory looks interesting but disappointed with Town of Salem which is in so many other cheap bundles.

[Nzyme32]

Poor Ikaruga got left out of the pretty awesome shoot em up sale this weekend ;_;

Sounds like there is no one to pick up the phone at Treasure anymore to approve a sale.

This is what I was thinking. Ikaruga would undoubtedly be included / asked, but my assumption is that they have abandoned Steam / maybe even everything due to poor business or something, which would sad

Do not run a VAC-protected game when you are running idleMaster and you shall be fine.

 

[Shalashaska]

Not sure why valve would care. It's all just extra revenue to them at essentially no cost.

Edit: Yeah except for the VAC side of it.

 

[Ludens]

Do not run a VAC-protected game when you are running idleMaster and you shall be fine.

Well yeah, I know you don't need to run something else when running a VAC secured game, I'm talking about the possibility to get banned for exploiting the glitch. Anyway I'm pretty sure Valve will fix this in no time.

Anyway I completed Call of Juarez Bound in Blood. This is my third COJ, I only did the very first one and Gunslinger.
I think it's a very nice game, worse than COJ1 but on par with Gunslinger. It took me 5 hours and 20 to complete (on Easy), it was a Plus game on PSN and it was a little funny ride. I wonder if The Cartel is any good, reviews are bad on Steam.

Is there a chance to get banned for the card glitch? I had three games to idle and I tried for curiosity and I got 10 cards in 2 minutes or so.

I don't think. It only worked for a day and netted me around 25 cards. Hasn't worked since sadly :'(

 

[Remembrance]

This is what I was thinking. Ikaruga would undoubtedly be included / asked, but my assumption is that they have abandoned Steam / maybe even everything due to poor business or something, which would sad

Ikaruga has basically never been on sale outside of summer/holiday sales since it came out, and it's never been in a bundle. Plus it's never gone under 50% - there was one (missed) chance to vote for it being 75% off years ago.

I think Treasure actively wanted to avoid "devaluing" the game.

 

[shockdude]

Dodonpachi Resurrection isn't coming out on September 8th, apparently that was a mistake.

 

[Wok]

I don't think. It only worked for a day and netted me around 25 cards. Hasn't worked since sadly :'(

To make it work reliably, you have to wait a bit between the runs. I do it every day and I get a card per game for every game in the run.

Anyway I'm pretty sure Valve will fix this in no time.

It is not so much of an exploit. An exploit would be to get cards for games that you would be able to refund. From Valve's point of view, I think it is just a boost of the number of cards on the market. The way the "glitch" is coded, I think it is a way to reward people for playing a game once in a while: quickly give a card if there are cards to drop and the game has not been played for 12 hours, or something like that.

By the way, this is what I use with AutoHotKey:

#NoEnv
SendMode Input

loop {
	sleep, 6000
	SetControlDelay -1
	ControlClick, WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.141b42a_r9_ad11, Idle Master,,,, NA
	; ControlClick, x284 y166, Idle Master,,,, Pos
}

$F7::pause

 

[kevin1025]

The card glitch seems to have moved on to games with less than one hour, as well, or maybe always has. I just did a bunch of simultaneous games for less than ten seconds, turned off Idle Master, and ended up with six cards. Did it again, ended up with three.

Fun!
