Yeah, I've been using Firefox with uBlock Origin (and Adblock Plus before that) for so long on both my PCs and my phone (and my co-workers are the same obviously, and I also installed it for my PC-challenged relatives) that, at the rare times that I see the internet on a device without adblock I experience a bit of a culture shock.Ad-blocker in Firefox. Done.
Definitely. There's a value to having a greater degree of ownership of a game and a feature rich service around it, and it seems like that's still relevant enough for many, thankfully.Sure, but the fact that so many game pass games are on Steams 21 best seller list is amazing.
I'm in no rush and holding off on purchasing much more stuff on sale until closer to Jan 5th so I maximize the use of my card money. Already sitting on an extra 20% off for the next game I want to getAaaaand I'm farming cards right now.
When the time comes, kill the dogs first.Just started playing Dark Souls for the first time. Anything I should know? Guide, modding and such?
First thing I did after 10 minutes was to rebind the attack keys to X and Y buttons
It can be done with a browser extension (I think with augmented steam) :Is there a way to see what my likely cards are worth without idling for them and messing up my library?
Yeah, as curi0usBystander wrote, Augmented Steam has a button "Click here to calculate drops remaining" on the badges page (in the same panel with your level).Is there a way to see what my likely cards are worth without idling for them and messing up my library?
I tend to look at lifetime pricing and pick around 10% highs from the last few months. The default shows last month, and from what I’ve seen there are general ups and downs to card pricing to consider, and prices tend to trend downward a little around major sales, presumably due to more people having wallet credits and sellers compete to meet the demand.What's everyone's strategy of selling cards?
Aaron D. is happily smiling somewhere.. again!Dysmantle is great, that's all.
Look up the lowest price, put it up for sale at one cent lowerWhat's everyone's strategy of selling cards?
Have you tried this?I am at the end of my knowledge
I am trying to get Imperialism 1 working
On my Windows 10 64 gaming PC: runs a few minutes until it CTD's
On my Win7 64 media PC: CTD when setting the city or right after that
Windows XP Virtual machine on my Win7: doesn't even start, after installing it under WinXP, it just gives an error on startup that the program couldn't be started.
tried any and all comp mode settings on the exe
Also here is some info in the comments:Although the program was written for Windows 95, it can be run under other versions of Windows. During installation under Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista, the user will receive an error message that Imperialism is not written for "Windows NT" and the install will abort. The Windows Compatibility Wizard must be used to enable the installation program to run. The Windows Compatibility Wizard must then be used again to enable Imperialism itself to run. Imperialism is stable under Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10 but it requires a change of screen resolution to 640 x 480 for complete stability. In some instances, users with multiple hard drives will need to copy the contents of the CD to their D: hard drive to do the installation, because the install program can only install from Drive D:.The Imperialism CD must be in the computer's CD-ROM for Imperialism to run; however, there are mods that enable the user to run Imperialism from a hard drive alone. When trying to run the Imperialism setup on Windows 7 64-bit systems, an error message appears and the setup will be interrupted. However, extracting the "FIRST.Z" file located on the CD will result in a valid install directory with an exe file that will run on 64 bit system without any modifications.
The Imperialism CD has an extensive collection of sound effects, original music and animation. The sound effects include sounds of battle, the sound of a telegraph and noises associated with occupations such as mining, farming, logging, construction and ranching. The music is classical in nature, resembling 19th century chamber, orchestral and martial music.
I have the GOG versionHave you tried this?
Imperialism
Imperialism is a now freely-downloadable turn-based strategy game for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh computers, developed by Frog City Software and published by Strategic Simulations ("SSI") in 1997. In Imperialism, the player is the ruler of a 19th-century Great Power (one of seven), and...imperialism.fandom.com

I had 800 cards to farm and had IdleMaster run turbo mode for 2 days to farm them all. Selling them was a nightmare but I made like $45 and was able to renew my FFXIV sub and buy some games during the sale so I'm not complaining lolI opened up IdleMaster Extended for the frist time in months. 104 games to idle, 401 cards to drop (and sell).
I want them all, it just takes time selling them. It mostly just hurts that it takes time selling them and the increase in playtime.I’ll gladly take all the cards people don’t want.
You should craft badges, get that steam level up!I want them all, it just takes time selling them. It mostly just hurts that it takes time selling them and the increase in playtime.
lol no, money for more games is more important.You should craft badges, get that steam level up!
Might not help, but it runs just fine via Linux/Wine... Interestingly, Linux is much better at running older Windows stuff than Windows itself.Imperialism stuff
pfft, Steam is about buying games and having the largest numbers on ones profile.lol no, money for more games is more important.
Heh, had a real world friend unfriend me because of that! I seriously assumed that everyone had turned of "person is playing" notifications. Thankfully the idler I'm using now automatically does it in an offline mode.Also, pro-tip for all you idlers out there: If you set your status under the Friends tab to Offline before you begin, you won’t spam them with notifications that constantly stack 5-high while they’re in-game.
Not that I noticed or anything.
Maybe that one friend who loses internet connection every two minutes and keeps spamming his friend's list that he is playing Spellforce 3 deserves revenge.I could never idol cards as I’m too precious about my game-time stats.

Yeah, that's on them lol. I tend to go offline when idling (and tbf it's rare that I'm not set to invisible), but still.Heh, had a real world friend unfriend me because of that! I seriously assumed that everyone had turned of "person is playing" notifications.
Well, i did buy Shadow Empire last week and Northern Journey the other day so....Hey look it’s my #2 GOTY
Hey look it’s my #1 GOTY
Quick, someone play Northern Journey and we’ll have the podium wins sorted out.
I always turn off all community notifications on Steam. I don't care when my Steam friends get online and what they playI could never idol cards as I’m too precious about my game-time stats.

Yeah Wine is always a good option for old stubborn games like that. You can even install it on Windows 10+ now using WSL2 (or so I've read).Might not help, but it runs just fine via Linux/Wine... Interestingly, Linux is much better at running older Windows stuff than Windows itself.
Do you do this manually or can this be selected somehow?pick around 10% highs from the last few months
Manually. I wish there was an automated way…Do you do this manually or can this be selected somehow?
It's mechanical but it uses the "Scissor" type switch mechanism which is understandable as it's a low-profile or tablet-key board. It's more of a "business" or office type keyboard by the looks of it and those keys look like they'd be a total dog to try to remove without breaking the mechanism.So I'm looking at keycaps all of sudden on that mechanical keyboard site that was posted earlier. But actually researching, turns out that apparently my cherry keyboard keycaps shouldn't be removed.
It's Cherry Stream, I guess it's not a real big boy mechanical keyboard.
