Hmm, I've never paused a month in my yearly so far, and I would say only 1 month was sort of not worth it to me. I'll probably stick with the classic but if they remove that in the future I'll jet.

Yeah, that Humble Choice thing seems like little more than a shitty way to mask a price increase with classic just being a one-time way to not fuck over existing subs. I mostly just keep my sub active and pause when I'm not interested, so as long as I can pause after the games are revealed nothing will change for me (and it's actually kinda better) but they are out of their goddamned minds if they think I'll ever pay their insane new prices should I ever lose my classic status lmao.

Guess the current model was either unsustainable or not profitable enough. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out because, honestly, if the line-ups don't change too much then the 3 games tier seems perfect because there's usually only 1 or 2 games I actually want in these bundles. But it's such a laughably terrible value compared to the 20 bucks tier and I'm not paying 20 bucks for this shit lol.

I was just thinking last night about how Andromeda gets a bad rap. Its far from perfect and by good Bioware standards it is bad but it is a serviceable "action-rpg" game.

Anthem, ME: Andromeda, Dragon Age 2, Dead Space 3, EA's finest games bundle.

Wonder what else they could add to such a magnificent bundle line up!
Sim City?

And a 5% off voucher for 100$ in Dungeon Keeper Mobile (is that game still active?)
I don't think Humble Monthly ever had EA games
but there was a magnificent EA Humble Bundle with steam and origin keys for some old and new high profile games. All money was donated to charity.

arts&crafts I'll take another Andromeda tomorrow if i can play new ME. I didn't play Andromeda until after the dust had settled and it was patched and it was far from the Clown Car it seemed to be at launch.

devs seem to have to patch or unpatch their EGS releases pretty often because of Steam.

I wonder if I should buy Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires. I never played a DW: Empires game and the only thing holding me back are the reviews. Apparently the game doesn't react to your actions and I dislike that a lot. Hmmm.

On another matter:

Blizzard / Blizzcon and the coming shitstorm

Any bets on when the first hit-piece is going up about toxic gamers? For more impact, lead the conference with a woman. (where there ever women prominently on stage from Blizzard? never cared for Blizzcon)
The hit-pieces won't be about toxicity.

Someone will come to Blizzcon, go too far and say something racist, and the gaming press will use that to tar-and-feather everyone's concerns about the Chinese government.

Bet on it.

edit: Or it'll be some vapid "whataboutism" pieces asking why gamers care when they don't care about X other issues or governments.

Sure. We already have this. Say something about a chinese corporation (Tencent) or the chinese government and the racist card gets drawn pretty fast.

I have made a new strategy to make it easier for me to wait on games to go on deeper sale, which is to not buy sequels or other games in a series/franchise until I have finished up the one(s) I have. Like, I am very interested in getting Dirt Rally 2.0 and Battlefleet Armada 2, but as I have not finished the first games I will not buy the sequels until I have finished the first games. Same with DLCs. Won't buy DLCs until Im finished with the full game so I now if I want more or not.

So lots of games on my wishlist that are currently on sale liek Overcooked 2, Dirt Rally 2.0, Warhammer 2, Battlefleet Armada 2 etc. but I won't buy any of them until Ive finished the first games in the series.

volvo should hire him to redesign steam's activity feed ... because this one looks sooooo good
It's too late for that, Tim likely snatched him and his company up already.

Also is there an archive activity feed thing. One were I can look at what I have done over the years?

Also Overwatch on N/S is something else.... but well there likely are some people whos only way to play the game is that way.

As for the Blizzcon I am wondering if mainstream media will talk about it (if something wild gets said as some people have implied??)

Also on Twitch it looks like some people are part of the mob with how they operate on there. These are scary times indeed

Played a bit of CSGO today for the first time in two years and fortunately got the new CS20 case. There's some cool skins there, but I'll be selling the case since its price is not that low. Plus I'm past from opening cases and CS betting.

Me, trying to purchase a game:



Steam: "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

Me: Try a few more times.

Steam: "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again."

EPIC TAKE THE WHEEL.

i have succumbed to the hype and bought the disco
I've been trying to ignore all the talk about this game, but I ended up reading about it tonight. Definitely going to pick this up as soon as they add ultra widescreen support. This looks like it will push all my buttons! 🤘
