If you haven't been friends for more than three days, it blocks you.

Happened with me and BlueZero last night. Best bet would be to talk on what games to send to meet the amount you've set and go that route, keeps it within the sale time frame.

The same happened with ThePieReborn and myself.

@blistr - I'm happy to contribute 2x $15 AUD Steam gift cards (approx $11 USD each) for the end prizes.

Randomly Picked #33 @synklare Nice!!

Gift cards incoming!!

Congrats @synklare and everyone. Without your generosity this event could not have happened.

Happy Holidays all!!

bluezero gifted me LEGO City Undercover.

Thanks a bunch buddy!! Very much appreciated!! I loves me a Lego game! :)

Apparently I'm unable to gift blistr due to region pricing, or maybe it was just the specific game I chose. Weird, since he/she was able to gift me.

I've had that happen with specific games too. I think it has to do with the level of discount applied in both regions. If the discount is different, or differs by a specific amount or more, over the two regions then that message comes up. When this happens I either select a different game to gift or I purchase the game from a third party and send the key instead.

I bought those keys for Cloud & Sutree on the 31st, now the 2nd, and still no dice on receiving keys for either game. Gonna get in contact with support later on to try and resolve it in some way.

They still have them both on sale though Shadow Of Mordor GOTY Edition does have a disclaimer stating they have temporarily run out of keys. Shadow Of War Definitive Edition however does not.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(east coast beast coast)

The rest of y'all will catch up with us. Don't worry. Unless you're over in some crazy ass place like Europe or France. Then you all did it too early, but hey new year new you.

You silly sausage, New Years was 16 and a half hours ago!! :P

Happy New Year mate!

Some bundles are set that way by the publisher. It usually applies to complete your collection bundles though I have heard of it happening if you own nothing within the bundle.

Why do some publishers do this? Now that is the $64 question...

Final wishlist post. I don't contribute much to any discussions around here, just usually pop on to get advice on a game here and there, so I didn't expect anyone to gift me anything. I am truly grateful to @blistr and @REexpert44 for their generosity to a total stranger and it means more to me than you know after some horrible times these past 2 years.

I look forward to being able to gift more in next years sale :)

You're very welcome buddy. :)

synklare posted...

For the next, I'll be putting money aside every month so I can gift a bit more that time around on top of what I can usually do. Anyway, hope you're all having a good NYE and have an even better NYD.

This is what I do.

I have been fortunate to be classified as an essential worker and thus my job/income has not been overly affected during the past 2 years of lockdowns and restrictions. Funnily enough I haven't purchased a single thing for myself this sale, just been trying to share a little joy where I can.

Happy New Year to all!!

@blistr very kindly gifted me Kingdom Come: Deliverance! Thanks so much! :)

You're welcome mate. :)

Just finished playing What Remains Of Edith Finch. If you like narrative driven games I recommend this one. It's a mixture of short stories about the Finch family with each family members story being told by Edith Finch.

Sup fella from the future, Happy New year to you.

Hey buddy. Happy New Year to you too. New Year came just over 2 hours ago here and I fell asleep just before it did lol.

It's getting harder and harder to keep up with the young'ns...

May you all have a bright and prosperous New Year filled with all good blessings!

Happy New Year CE!!

I think I need to consider adding another SSD / HDD to my system to be honest. Games are a bit too big for their own good nowadays. I might do the math later on just how much space I'd need to install the entirety of my Steam Library, for a laugh.

Probably one of the key things I actually appreciate about the Nintendo Switch. Outside of small, relatively minor updates, games can be played from the Cartridges without much issue. Ah, the good old joys of physical media lol.

Sorry, bit random, was just looking through some stuff to install.

I have 2 SSD's dedicated for game installations.

Living in a regional/rural area means internet speeds can sometimes be somewhat lack luster. Only 4 years ago the only option for internet here was ADSL with speeds topping 25mb/s on a good day and constant drop outs, sometimes for hours at a time. Streaming services like Netflix were mostly unwatchable due to constant buffering.

The NBN (Australia's National Broadband Network) rollout came to our area about 4 years ago and we could connect to a more reliable service using fixed wireless technology with speeds topping 65mb/s, though usually 50mb/s. Although it was a vast improvement in speed games could still take hours to download, sometimes having to be left to overnight so as not to impact on the household internet.

About 4 months ago I was lucky enough to be able to connect to Starlink by SpaceX. Internet speeds are now topping at 350mb/s with an average of 260mb/s. Games which took overnight to download now take about an hour or so, all the while not impacting on the household internet, so now I do not need worry about storage space for games on the off chance I want to play something.

Poppy playtime is a quick fun creepy hour

It looks like it'll be an episodic release. I was just starting to get into it and the credits rolled lol

VioletMassacre gifted me VVVVVV.

Thanks mate!! Greatly appreciated!! :)

darkprince45 gifted me Poppy Playtime.

Thanks buddy!! Much appreciated!! Looks like a game best played at night in the dark lol

I guess that counts as my 2nd one

Technically you didn't post it as a wishlist post...

@TroutPaste In your sig and wishlist posts change profiles to id. Your posts are showing my wishlist not yours.

dummy420 gifted me Star Trek Bridge Commander key.

Thanks a bunch buddy!!

ProboBum posted...

My NYE will consist of light drinking with friends before ringing in the New Year on Animal Crossing, after that I'll probably play some Project Zomboid for a couple hours before inevitably passing out for the night

I don't drink though on the very odd occasion I do have a beer (yes a single beer lol).

bluezero posted...

Dunno. I never make it to midnight, and we're not going out. Likely treat it like any other night.

I too prefer to stay at home. Last year I saw the new year in then fell asleep on the couch. This year I'll probably be asleep by 11 lol.

@dummy420 Could I have Star Trek Bridge Commander please?

Also, 2nd post:

Hello everybody.

It's the morning of new years eve here. Got the weekly shopping to do and then getting a start on installing my new router and AP's throughout the house and outside. Hopefully have it all finished before this evening.

What do you have planned for this NYE?

synklare posted...

You're pretty much stocked up on Lego now aren't you bud? Lol hours upon hours of content with those.

Also, morning @blistr . Edit - & thank you for sending me We Happy Few

Game looks very interesting, set in the UK (or some version of it) too which, as an Englishman, is appreciated lol.

You're most welcome mate. I enjoyed it. Don't forget to take your Joy!!

Good afternoon/evening all. That last topic sure took off in the last few hours lol.

First post:

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/blistr/

Still got a little gifting left....

synklare posted...

@blistr

You own either of the DLCs for Rimworld? If so, worth buying?

Sale ends in a just under a week and I'm torn on whether to pick up Hunt : Showdown or one of the two Rimworld DLCs. Leaning more towards Ideology right now but I'm torn lol.

@synklare Unfortunately I do not, just the base game. I have heard that the contents of Royalty can be added in via mods, though I'm not sure which mods. Ideology basically adds beliefs and religion to your colonists. I have heard that you need to start a new game if you add the Ideology DLC as otherwise it will randomly assign religion and beliefs to your colonists and cause all sorts of strife.

@ Lokison did you ever say what number it was

It was 24, guessed by Kain_Highwind but originally missed, keeping the guesses coming.

Morning all.

So, what's everyone been playing lately?

Was playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order prior to the sale starting so trying to finish it. Also loaded up What Remains Of Edith Finch and got through the first couple of stories. Looks good so far. I'm enjoying it.

VioletMassacre gifted me The Ship.

Thank you very much buddy!! Much appreciated!!

synklare posted...

Wouldn't really call it that, more of a naughty-dress up kind of game isn't it? With half-decent combat and a lot of customisation?

This is my take on it too, looking at the screenshots and Steam reviews.

SystemEgo gifted me Prison Architect.

Thank you very much mate!! Greatly appreciated!! Loves me a Rimworld style game. :)

Second wishlist post.

Today is the changing of the guards. The past few days the middle child and his family have been staying with us. Today the eldest and his family have arrived for a few days. We'll have a nice spit roast lunch before the middle child and family head off.

45 minutes into it. Puzzles are nice, pretty easy I think but I do like puzzle games of all kinds. The overall presentation is kind of fun and unique. I am worried about it being a bit on the shorter duration side, but it may just be one of those games I can get my wife to play or I can play it again perhaps after a few years. I did that with The Stanley Parable. It runs pretty well on my computer which is kind of shocking since its like 5 years old with no major upgrades besides some RAM added.

Sounds interesting to say the least. I may have to check it out.

davyheinz posted...

@blistr gifted me The Pedestrian just a bit ago. Thanks so much! Hope all has been going well for you this holiday season.

You're welcome. You'll have to let me know what it's like. I have it on my wishlist too.

@blistr gifted me Kill it with Fire. Thanks dude!

Hope you enjoy it!! :)

When I click your link I get my wishlist.

TroutPaste gifted me Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.

I can't tell you how many hours I've put into the C&C series, especially the original and Red Alert. It'll be good to play them again in their remastered glory.

Thank you very much!! That is awesome!!

synklare gifted me What Remains Of Edith Finch.

That is awesome man!! Thank you so much!! I love a good narrative game. Can't wait to get a few hours to myself and fire it up.

First post in new topic.

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/blistr/

Never expecting but anything will be greatly appreciated. I'll be back a little later to help spread a little more Chrissy cheer.

Back from the big smoke just in time for a cheese spread with visiting family.

It's that time to make the trek and return things purchased that either do not work or do not work as advertised.

I have been having trouble displaying 4k 120hz HDR on my C9 OLED. My current 4K HDMI cables (HDMI 2.0) causes the screen to blank out constantly so a relative got me a 5m 8K certified HDMI cable. Everything works until I turn on HDR in Windows. The C9 then comes up saying "No Signal".

Only issue is is living in a small regional community means travelling to the "Big Smoke", a round trip of 3h.

Morning/afternoon/evening all.
