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? :)

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
