Does anyone else have the issue of Firefox getting really, really slow -- to the point of locking up -- when (quickly) scrolling through your Steam wishlist with Augmented Steam enabled? My wishlist has 500 entries, so I'm guessing that's part of the problem, but it works much better in Chrome.
Works fine for me although I only have 50 or so games on my wishlist

I've only played the first one (really need to play the second one), and it's 100% kid friendly.
There's nothing remotely violent or "dark" in this game, it's part of its charm. :)
I'd say yes, they are VERY short though and don't expect any real puzzles but there's nothing that i recall being unsuitable for kids. Walk about, talk to folk, get/swap items with them, done. Say, 45 to 50 minutes each.
Thank you! I'll get both of the Frog Detective games.

Check out Investi-gator too

It's kid friendly as well from what I played
This one wento to my wishlist!

Finally, I go to configure my controls (I'm left handed so use okl; instead of wasd). The game doesn't allow binding of :,.@- which are keys I often use! Like outer worlds doesn't allow keys I want either, the reason I still haven't played it.

I really hope the game is good after all this. Sorry for the rant but people here might understand the frustration.
It blows my mind that any game on PC doesn't allow any key/button to be remapped. WTF??

The good thing about steam refunds system is that it's automated and can be done whenever and you can get back money for any pre-order, so i'm probably going to refund Cyberpunk for Iceborne and something else and purchase it again another time.

So heads up for anyone. If you use the $5 Steam coupon on the game and refund said game, you WILL get the 5000 coins back.

During the summer sale you didn't get it back so its nice that they adjusted it.

FYI for those of you who get emails from Microsoft...they are giving away 5$ gift.

They sent an email the other day titled "12/21 shopping" or wtvr. If you click on a little bird image in the email they'll gift you 5$ to your account.

I have a code for Shadow Raider, Dead in Vinland and Ancestors: Legacy that should work.

Just send me a PM with the name of the game you want as title, first come, first serve, if you don't receive something back, you were sadly too late.

Of course GMG has Zodiac Age for $22 w/ VIP today. Haven't touched Zodiac Age yet so I sent a refund request in and bought on GMG. Also buying Life is Strange 2 so lashman can be happy!

This is not something that I payed to much attention to in the past


I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but the Star Wars Steam Origin thing is weird. Since it is true that you need Origin to play the game but it seems that there is much more to it than just that.

When I first got the game I already had Origin Installed on my PC, but yet when I booted the game up it asked me to sign into my Origin account. From what I recall I think Uplay does it differently and requires a key that you enter into your Uplay account.

I had issues with the game and Steam saying that it was not installed and because all updates for the game are done via Origin instead of through Steam I just played the game that way. On Origin it shows the Steam logo along with the game, I boot up the game from Origin and the game has the Steam UI with it.


Now I do a fresh install of Windows 10 on another PC with Steam and an existing copy of the game that's was already on my PC without needing to redownload the whole thing. I did not have Origin installed on this drive, and well the game was able to sign into my Origin account without me needing to type in my information.

So now I'm looking to see if I can find Origin on my drive and I can't find it. So does the game just install a "lite" version of Origin that does authentication stuff but that does not allow you to download other games and use other Origin services? Other than the authentication one?
----

And I'm guessing that most people are just buying the game off Steam instead of Origin or EGS, that would make sense as to why it's still in the top sellers list since that's where the main sales for the game are coming from, if people were buying them mostly else where than it would be much lower on the list potentially.

PC-tan I think EALink.exe is the program that links accounts for Origin. It keeps crashing for me as i see tons of CrashDumps in my profile for it but the game works fine. Alt-Tab out of Fallen Order and have a look in Task Manager with the Command Line column showing and see if there is a mini-Origin running?

edit: I have the full Origin client installed and bought it on Steam so i couldn't tell you if there is a mini-client or not.

Ok found one "cheaper" game that I actually do really want to play now, Below! I never really could let my curiosity for it go even when hearing it wasn't that good, so I'm hoping I will like it.

Have you tried reinstalling Origin?

My new parts arrived, and I installed the fans backwards, and I´m too tired to fix it... will leave to luck today.

Below is gorgeous and has a great sense of place and solitude. It's also damned obtuse so there's a feeling of discovery running through it. I played at launch and loved it up to a point then i became disillusioned with some aspects of the game just not being fun for me. I want to give it another go now i know what mindset i need to be in to enjoy it. Basically the Survival parts and the backtracking weren't what i wanted to play at the time.

I hope it clicks for you because i can see it being very rewarding if it does.

gabbo Nah, Origin works fine i just notice tons of EALink crashdumps but from my view nothing seems broken.

Sounds good! I don't mind backtracking and while I'm scared of survival thingies I often do like them, but what you say about "feeling of discovery" yeah that's what I've been curious about and why I wanted to play it.

..... I found the screws that came with my Motherboard finally.... This is after I contacted the Asrock and got replacements for free and after I order replacements on Amazon as well (I returned the Amazon ones, but I did keep this kit that I order that has a lot of common screws that are used in electronics, just in case.)


So now I have 5 NVME screws.

I guess you just have to look a little closer at things.
