i was able to purchase the jotun on Nuuvem, so thats pretty cool. are you still not able to drascin?
Yup.
Ah well. I'll just mooch it off a friend's account. It's not supposed to be super long anyway :P.
What country are you from?
I'm a Spaniard. Apparently most of Europe gets locked out of a bunch of games on Nuuvem now, I'm reading? It's a pity, I bought a fair amount of games in that page back in the day.
I mean, they have XCOM 2 preorder for 20 euro. That's low enough to make one reconsider the whole "no buying preorders" policy.
Are you using a VPN? I've used the cheap method that is the Hola extension (Firefox/Chrome), go via Brazil or Argentina and do it that way. Otherwise it locks me out of stuff to the point of not even showing it for sale. But using Hola, it'll still accept my UK card and assuming the game doesn't have a region lock warning on its page (helpfully dsplayed in red, at least with their old page layout), the keys have redeemed just fine too.
I should probably look into an VPN, yeah. I was just grumbling because it was never necessary before.
I'd say just use Hola. Just remember to turn it off when you're done using it. There was some controversy a little while back about how it works, and potential security concerns, but I've found it to be useful little tool for quite a few things. It's free, too.

Thank you, @Shogun for Cities:Skylines:After Dark. I'm looking forward to getting back into the City builder, since they've added so much stuff since I last played
I need to grab that game during the Paradox weekend. Reading RPS's write-up on the expansion made me realize I miss a good city builder.

Yeah, but Hola's bad for using your computer as an endpoint for other people, or for using your computer as part of a botnet... Personally, I'll just pay the asking price for my region instead of messing with that.
It's funny how easy earlier levels have gotten, going back to try S+ing them with other Androids. It's a bit weird learning timing and distance differences, but it almost feels unfair waltzing through stage 1.
Also for real I don't think I've ever been this high up any leaderboard on Steam. I like this game a ton.
Umm...none. I haven't even beaten the game yet. I try to S+ stages, give up, get to the boss and S+ the boss. It looks like I'm on the final stretch though, all Coral all the way.
Edit: Sadly I think our high place in the leaderboards are mostly due to how early after release this is, you'll have some pro players or whatever come in and destroy the leaderboards as games go on but hey at least it wasn't as broke as Day 1 of the Gauntlet leaderboards.

A few days after I started using Hola, I found myself IP blocked from craigslist. A day or two later it came out about the whole botnet thing and I promptly removed that extension from Chrome. Would've been nice to use it for Netflix streaming, but oh well.
DO NOT USE HOLA. the way it works is that it uses your pc as a gateway for other people using hola, and you use other people's pc's connection to use their country's stuff. If someone were to use your pc to do "bad stuff" online it would show as your search or whatever. Do not do not do not do not use Hola, it can be seriously dangerous.

What is the gameplay like for Jotun? I know it's all cool animations, but I'm hearing it's like Bastion and Shadow of the Colossus?
It's very Shadow of the Colossus. You have a character who is comparatively slow, fighting things that kill you in like three hits tops. So it's all about positioning yourself carefully and finding the blind spots of the big bastards.
Well that knocks it down a considerable amount of pegs then.

If Humble Bundle had gift cards in stores I'd be all over a lot of their stuff. Alas, I am a paranoid old man who refuses to tie a credit card to any internet purchases. Also why I'm always plucking toys off the Oakland Childrens Hospital wish list instead of donating directly to Child's Play during sale charity drives. Paranoia trumps laziness.
Apparently Fallout 4 has been advertising on Tinder
If you're lonely, you can still play with your Pipboy?
I'm curious if they are targeting genders with that.
Anyhew, any older open world games worth playing on PC? I've not completed a playthrough of .....the one where you smoked hookah and controls were shit......prequel to Risen....
So, yeah, pre Oblivion games.......need to install stalker mods.
Dammit, what do I focus on beating first, Skyrim or TIE fighter....I could be playing tie right now, why not Don't Starve and........sergal? A sergal Don't Starve mod......where have I heard that name before.......oh, its furry porn.

FYI, credit cards are crazy safe because of the amount of legal protections built into them. For example, you are not responsible for any unauthorized charges if someone steals your credit card number.
Also some banks will sell gift cards that are basically debit cards but under the umbrella of Visa or MasterCard so that it will work the same as a credit card as long as you don't go over the limit you prepaid for.
I have gotten them as gift cards before and the work pretty much anywhere.
Edit: Also they may be refillable! So you could gamble with $50 or whatever and then recharge it when you run out!

I like when customers come into my office at work and want to pay their bill with their credit/debit cards, and as a courtesy I point out to them that they can pay online and not have to come in... and they tell me "I don't trust putting my card online!" and then give me their CC... which I then enter into our online payment processing company's website while telling them "this will take a minute, our internet is slow"...
I mean Ive honestly only ever had two problems with online purchases in the last 20 years and they both cost me nothing.
First time is my package didn't arrive and I got a refund.
Second time someone got a hold of my credit card number and tried to make a big purchase. The bank caught it before I even knew about it, cancelled that card so a repeat problem could not occur, and sent me a new card with a new number. And also called me to let me know what had happened.

Banks are crazy how they know things. I went on a trip to Japan without telling them. Didn't have any problems at all. A few days after I got back I got a call saying "there was some suspicious activity on your account so we have frozen the card."
Me: no I was in Japan but it's all good
Bank: no that's not the activity. Did you happen to buy a $3000 kayak over the phone from [city an hour away] yesterday?"
Me:... No...
Bank: we didn't think so. We froze the transaction and will cancel the card. We have to investigate but you are not under suspicion. We should have a new card to you in about 3 days.
I'm still confused how Japan didn't flag the card but kayak in a nearby town did. I didn't even use the card to buy my tickets.

Yeah I suppose it's probably early days, still! We're like top 50/10,000 on some of these.
Also stage S+ becomes so much easier when you turn on pro-mode auto-restarts. It turns it into one very long stage, kind of? You learn much more smoothly.
I actually find the bosses more annoying to perfect. I get to the point where 4/5 or 7/8 of the forms I can easily get through and then the last one proves a bit of trouble and I need to restart. With stages, things feel much more moment-to-moment and mutable, so replaying is less frustrating.
Either way though yeah I think I'm going to have to try to purple the heck out of this game.

My brother once got into a huge arguement in high school because our local subway had issues with their card reader, so after ordering a sandwich, he attempted to pay with his card. The clerk then took the card and started writing down the number.
My brother, with a school counselor in line behind him, got into a long winded arguement trying to explain why the clerk could simply enter the number straight from the card instead of writing it down.
I forget how it ended, but was laughing myself into the fetal position at this point.

In fairness, your work computer is a lot less likely than theirs to have a keylogger installed and sending all of their credit card info to a server in Russia.

Actually about the mid stages are the hardest, by the end I usually have a fully powered Coral and my shotgun and plasma fields are doing stupid amounts of damage. I just quickly hit the back button on my 360 when I hear the shatter from losing the S+ which is quick enough for me. I'll pass on buying anything from the credits store until I've beaten the game first though I did take a look.
The problem with getting an S+ with the later stages with Coral is if I missed a guy that I need to kill to proceed with the level then it's almost always too late to make up my mistake--I can't get close enough to kill them in time. I've lost kill chains due to firing my shotgun a little too far away due to the second it takes for new robots to populate the board.
I found out about some suspicious charges on my debit card (being used as a credit card) just earlier this week. My credit union is getting the charges reversed and having a new card issued to me ASAP. As long as your financial institution isn't terrible (and you have another card you can use while one is being replaced) it's actually pretty painless to get taken care of.
Well okay, that's also assuming you've got enough money in your account that several hundred dollars going missing isn't cleaning it out entirely.
I'm not sure S ranks are ever in my future, but I am very excited that I am now stuck on the second boss of Assault Android Cactus instead of the first. Also, Holly is totally my jam. Also also, I need to hook this up to the TV and make my local coop buddy play it with me.
What makes me leery of entering my CC information online isn't about the worry of identity theft, but when there's a "convenience" fee attached to it.
:?
I literally use a credit card for every purchase online. The only convenience fee's I can even think of are Ticketmaster (and that's a fee on the ticket) and out of country payment processors. Hell, even the second one is declining, I used to have a small charge when I purchased games on GOG because it was a foreign transaction, but that hasn't been the case in years.
Paypal might have some convenience fees, but nowadays I'm pretty sure they're just relegated to eBay purchases, and even then they seem to come out of the seller. Otherwise I use my CC tied to Paypal and select the CC when I use paypal to pay for something like the Humble Bundle.
I loved Holly best when I played Assault Android Cactus (back in 2013!), but I think there's like 4 more moppets now than there were then. I was never good at the game but I had fun with it. I should probably reinstall it one of these days.

That is a problem with debit cards as credit cards that pure credit cards don't have. As you point out, it's completely dependent upon how good your financial institution is.
Oh I agree, it was. I'm not such a fan of the high difficulty of only screwing up twice, however.
There is, like, no penalty for death, though. The respawn time is fast, the checkpoint is right at the boss, and there's no real long-term consumables to lament the loss of or experience lost.

It pretty much only pops up for me if I want to pay my rent or utilities online. For rent the "convenience" fee is $35 and utilities would be $5 every month.

Bank: we didn't think so. We froze the transaction and will cancel the card. We have to investigate but you are not under suspicion. We should have a new card to you in about 3 days.
I'm still confused how Japan didn't flag the card but kayak in a nearby town did. I didn't even use the card to buy my tickets.

Yeah I suppose it's probably early days, still! We're like top 50/10,000 on some of these.
Also stage S+ becomes so much easier when you turn on pro-mode auto-restarts. It turns it into one very long stage, kind of? You learn much more smoothly.
I actually find the bosses more annoying to perfect. I get to the point where 4/5 or 7/8 of the forms I can easily get through and then the last one proves a bit of trouble and I need to restart. With stages, things feel much more moment-to-moment and mutable, so replaying is less frustrating.
Either way though yeah I think I'm going to have to try to purple the heck out of this game.
My brother once got into a huge arguement in high school because our local subway had issues with their card reader, so after ordering a sandwich, he attempted to pay with his card. The clerk then took the card and started writing down the number.
My brother, with a school counselor in line behind him, got into a long winded arguement trying to explain why the clerk could simply enter the number straight from the card instead of writing it down.
I forget how it ended, but was laughing myself into the fetal position at this point.
Back to steam......in searching for don't starve character mods, I think South Korea has become the new Japan.

In fairness, your work computer is a lot less likely than theirs to have a keylogger installed and sending all of their credit card info to a server in Russia.
Actually about the mid stages are the hardest, by the end I usually have a fully powered Coral and my shotgun and plasma fields are doing stupid amounts of damage. I just quickly hit the back button on my 360 when I hear the shatter from losing the S+ which is quick enough for me. I'll pass on buying anything from the credits store until I've beaten the game first though I did take a look.
The problem with getting an S+ with the later stages with Coral is if I missed a guy that I need to kill to proceed with the level then it's almost always too late to make up my mistake--I can't get close enough to kill them in time. I've lost kill chains due to firing my shotgun a little too far away due to the second it takes for new robots to populate the board.
Well okay, that's also assuming you've got enough money in your account that several hundred dollars going missing isn't cleaning it out entirely.

I literally use a credit card for every purchase online. The only convenience fee's I can even think of are Ticketmaster (and that's a fee on the ticket) and out of country payment processors. Hell, even the second one is declining, I used to have a small charge when I purchased games on GOG because it was a foreign transaction, but that hasn't been the case in years.
Paypal might have some convenience fees, but nowadays I'm pretty sure they're just relegated to eBay purchases, and even then they seem to come out of the seller. Otherwise I use my CC tied to Paypal and select the CC when I use paypal to pay for something like the Humble Bundle.
That is a problem with debit cards as credit cards that pure credit cards don't have. As you point out, it's completely dependent upon how good your financial institution is.
There is, like, no penalty for death, though. The respawn time is fast, the checkpoint is right at the boss, and there's no real long-term consumables to lament the loss of or experience lost.
It pretty much only pops up for me if I want to pay my rent or utilities online. For rent the "convenience" fee is $35 and utilities would be $5 every month.
You absolutely should. The amount of polish that has been slathered all over this game since then is nuts.
they know youd never purchase anything athletic after how much youve spent on steam.
TEMPTING.
Edit: she has a firebreathing mini dragon pet? Gaaaaaaaaaaaa---
I would love to see a return of FNG. I would love to have a twitch stream of FNG, cause "I work on Friday nights!"
/me crys in corner.
I might convince Mrs. Alure to let me join in, but soonest I can be there is 9PM PST, and not this week.
Best grab her before she slips through your fingers.
You made me laugh.
