Weird, they've always been good when I've used them. :/ Contact them on the help page and see if they'll sort things out for you. My brother accidentally created an account a few weeks ago, but ShopTo doesn't allow multiple accounts per household, so my account ended up being disabled. Fortunately, I contacted them about it, and it was restored within less than an hour.

Not sure if this has been mentioned. They have run out of third party vouchers http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=2428973 so unless you want valve coupons there is no point crafting coal.

I wish I would've read this post before I crafted 7 goal yesterday :pinch:

I don't think it would have made much difference. Most people who posted here about crafting coal got vouchers.

I got CS:S when I crafted yesterday. Too bad, I already have that game. I don't play CS though.

I'll gladly take the Valve vouchers off your hands. You never know, they might actually come in handy. :p

I doubt they will come in handy. Valves crappy coupons are only good until march 1st. And even if valve released a title in between now and then it can't be used on it anyway.

Ahh yeah, you're right there. And looking through what it can be used on, I've just realised that I now own every Valve game and expansion. :o The only thing on the applicable list I haven't got there is Garry's Mod, and that's ?1.49 right now, anyway.

I gave up with that site. Luckily it's part of the encore so i've got it through steam for a couple of ?'s more but at least it worked! Now to wait for it to download! :/

So, at first, I was all like "Yeah, I'll save my money this year and dodge the steam sale"...

and then Valve was all like "Here's Arkham City, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and LA Noire for less than ?40"

... and then I was all like...

I used to have all my steam games installed on my hard drive, and I had one HDD dedicated for just games. Now with hard drive prices up, I had to cut back on the number of games I have installed. My steam folder is now 250GB (on the 500GB HDD). Luckily I have a spare 1TB HDD, down to 450GB free between both drives. Hell, I'm contemplating buying 240 GB SSD for the games.

So, I'm left with:

1x - Glowfish (Indie game)

4x - Holiday Coal

2x - 33% OFF Valve

I'm interested in the Monkey Island series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., The Witcher, Deus Ex, Titan Quest, Mount & Blade, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

When I say "The Witcher", "Deus Ex", and such, I mean the first game in the series.

Or, if you would like to trade for an Indie game, that'd be cool, too. (I realize that what I have for trading is not much).

If you are interested, let me know through Private.

Would you like to trade Glowfish for a copy of The Ship? :)

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
