Notch is a fucking nazi asshole, yes. Miku gets assigned creations from 'disgraced' authors when they show their true colors, more recently Harry Potter.

All that I know Is that people said that Hatsune Miku created Minecraft (well as as writing the Harry Potter series when she was still in highschool), I never really bothered to search the origins of it all.
Miku is still popular, but it does seem as some people are made fun of liking her? She made her debut in 2007 from what I recall and that was when I was in middle School, and it seemed like Miku was very popular then in general but as time went on, she didn't necessarily grow in popularity? She is still relevant, but because of the time that she debuted and also sort of the nature of Vocaloids, is viewed as childish?

A random Paypal question:
I recently added a new credit card to my account. By default, whenever I'm checking out now, and payments are done in another currency, Paypal is using it's own conversion. I prefer to pay in the original currency, and have my bank charge me the fees.
Does anyone know where is the option to change these currency conversion options, so that it defaults to my choice (instead of having to change the option every single time I make a payment)?
Paypal changed things around, and I'm not finding it.
For pre-approved payments, I see the option. But, for every other payment, I'm not finding this option. It used to be in the menu you get when you click on that card, but now I only see the option of making it the default card.
thanks

Btw, latest chapter of FuckmylifeTM : yesterday I finished the sale by buying Muv-Luv, a VN famous for being shitty but evolving to great if you read the follows up. Then I went to the official site where the uncensor patch is sold. Not that I want porn in my VN, but at the same time I don't want cut content (it's complicated, don't judge).
I was greeted by a message telling me that in order to complete the purchase I would have to send them a message via... mobile.
It seems like it's the Winter running gag for me
Not that was going to play the game immediately, so no big deal, but still. If website could get off my balls with mobile checks, it would be appreciated.

All it helped is make it so that people will wait for a bundle or freebie giveaway of the next Yooka or Team17 game on PC.
Yours truly included.
2014ish, EA : Steam sales are devaluing games !
2019 : more and more fuckers are barely waiting one month to put their game in a bundle or giving it away.
I'm not sure it will have that much of an impact on their next game, but every bit will have been earned.

As someone who pre-ordered the game, you can say that again.

As as side note, I'll be damned.
As a follow-up to yesterday's "mess" trying to get my wishlist erased, the PC where I first used Augmented Steam (at work) is till unable to connect to Steam.
Since it's been 17 hours since I last connected, I'm guessing they banned this IP.
It wouldn't be a big deal, if... the company didn't use a static IP.
Does anyone know the twitter account from someone from Valve's web side of things, to see if they can help me?
I would try customer support, but I can't imagine them being remotely helpful.

It's kinda funny that in a twisted way, these very decisions motivated by immediate profit over long term customer goodwill is educating people to do something that those suits would really hate : 'Don't buy it day 1 if you are not playing day 1'.

Yeah, none work.
I can access my Steam account at home, and on my mobile phone.
I can't access Steam, or the Valve website, at work. I can't even see the Steam links you guys post here.
And no, it wasn't my company that blocked their IPs.
Eh, that bureaucracy for you. We can't make ends meet, so at one point we asked for monthly rent help. These delirious fuckers allotted us 13 euros / month*. Because, I'm not kidding you : "your rent is too high".
...
Which is why we asked for help, dumbass. What kind of logic is that ? Would we have been given 100 euros if our rent was low ?
And on a related topic it's supermarket day. I'm terrified.
*it's not even the case anymore, I guess at some point we moved from needing a pittance to being so rich has to not need anything. It sure didn't feel that way, but hey.
Why wouldn't you contact the support? Haven't Steam support improved a lot in quality the last couple of years?

Well, then yeah maybe hit up steam support if you can, because if it wasn't your company's IT, there goes Steam at work...

Steam support might have improved, but from the few interactions I had with them, they were still like most customer support services: a mess.
If it's something remotely complicated, they barely read your text, and completely misunderstand things.
My last interaction was because I didn't get a pre-order DLC that was supposed to be included, and the developer said to contact customer support, and they almost ended up removing and refunding the game from my account, because they completely misunderstood my request.
Despite what happened, I can currently connect from home and from my mobile phone.
I fear if I use "regular" customer support, another mix-up may occur, and my problems extend to my account.
Hilariously, I can't connect to the Steam support website, so yeah, from work, I can't even do that.
Yeah the bureaucracy, seems there is an issue all the time. Wish there was one single month where I didn't have to worry about the next month, and have a month where I could eat healthy and not live on plain rice for lunch and dinner. Or as it seems for next month, live on rice for dinner only.XD
Just gotten to test out GOG Galaxy 2.0. This thing is really quite neat, could see it become my main client for non-Steam games. Only thing missing seems to be sharing screenshots and other things, Maybe they'll add that at some future point. Would also be neat if it had some cross-support with Steam's category system, but I guess it would need some APIs for that from Valve
Where do you see that?ehm

I remember when I last contacted Steam support. It was like 2011 or something. I contacted them since I didn't get an email receipt when I bought a game during a sale.
So, guess what they did for me when I asked for a receipt?
They reset my Steam password which forced me to change the password, and did not provide me with a receipt for the game.
Nice work guys. Totally pointless
I thought that the main character in that game was such a dumbass. If he had just sat down and talked to his assassin compatriots, instead of immediately going rogue, the entire game's story could have been avoided.
And he did not suspect a thing when this very obvious templar (wearing a templar-adorned uniform) takes an interest in him and (GASP!) is a templar.
Or the fact that the clothes he is provided with ALSO is adorned with templar-symbols.
And a lot of the "evil" stuff that the assassins do in this game, is based on hearsay from the templars.
Using gas on the populace? There's no evidence that it is supposed to be used on the public beside that the templars tell you that.
In my opinion, AC IV is definitely the better game. Rogue is a pale copy with a meh story.
Well, fuck it, I give up trying to troubleshoot RDR2.
After wasting like 3 hours chatting with a couple of Rockstar support people, I'll just keep the game installed, waiting/hoping for an update at some point.
Meanwhile, I've redeemed the 3+1 free months of Xbox Game Pass I got with my CPU purchase, and so at least I'll try The Outer Worlds and Astroneer that are both in my Steam wishlist.
I'm also installing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, just because AFAIK it's the only ray tracing game in my library.

Shay had a good reason to turn rogue, most of his mentors were arrogant assholes who mistreated him, the only person he cared about was Liam and he still cool with him even before he killed him. The Assassins sending him on that mission to Lisbon really didn't help. The colonial branch of Assassins were evil as shit, they willingly caused 2 earthquakes, poison in their forts and causing general mayhem.

Speaking of shoddy support, bloodstained has been on origin access for a month and hasn't worked since day 1, so yay for a multiple store future where developers are too lazy to playtest a version on different storefront.

Thanks, didn't know you could get it to print out the sum this way! Neat
Super restrained Winter Seal for me, $62.
... and i'm on a Library clearout for the next few months aside from any standout releases, i want to actually play the stuff i've bought!

Slightly OT but dunno where else to put it but Dan Ryckert is leaving Giant Bomb for a Wrestling Podcast gig and fuck me the vitriol that i've seen some people express for Giant Bomb is madness. Anyway, good luck and best wishes to him, he's entertained the hell out of me for the last few years!
Dan was a massive part of why I subbed to GB for all these years. Still love everything they do, even if I can't quite consume all their content at a rate I used to back in my college days where their vids were the only thing keep me sane at 5am when working on my coding homework.
The rhetoric is why I stopped interacting with the GB community/looking at GB threads on the whole. It's fine to be critical of a content maker, but it's gotten very exhausting seeing the same bad/incorrect takes as well as the constant comparisons to other content makers..
Yeah, i've learnt to stay away from the majority of discussions regarding GB personalities as the threads inevitably devolve into toxic waste. Even on GB and other places you'd expect to be nicer about it but hey ho, whatever.
Think i'll give Mario Party a whirl this evening.

Fucking lol.Happy new year everyone! I hope 2020 will be a great year for all of you, with many wonderful moments, lots of love from the people around you, no financial problems and a good health.
Of course I also hope you'll enjoy lots of great games, no matter what platform or store you're using.
Last but not least I want to apologize if I have been too "fanatic" in speaking out against gaming-related practices I don't like. I'll do my best to work on this in 2020. I also want to emphasize that none of my comments are meant as a personal attack or judgment towards other people for having a different opinion than me about this matter. We're all on the same side after all.
It's mostly a problem with posters being unable to split the person from the personality. The way people talk about them, and gaming personalities on the whole, would make you think they were talking about a new game or product that just dropped and not talking about actual human beings. It's gotten pretty disgusting.

Oh well, I managed to go a full year on a forum without blocking someone, but I guess I'll start 2020 with a first.
Who? Dan? He was entertaining and brought an energy to GB and a personality that people love or hate and he's leaving so i thought people might want to know seeing as GB is quite popular.
