There's a big sale on Studio SiestA Shmups on Steam:
The Hurricane of the Varstray Triple Bundle Edition on Steam
store.steampowered.com
That's cheap. And I guess they're good since you're recommending them
My cart for now
(No, I don't have any coupons
)Though I'll wait until the refresh to see what the hell happens with the capacity and points and tokens and... before finalizing anything.
Is there a manual yet? tee hee hee. Incline! or something! ha
I remember the unfolding drama behind this game, very entertaining. It was supposed to be old-school hard with no spoonfeeding but basic instructions and a manual kept getting pushed back, there was delay after delay as the old libraries he was using in this 10+ yo project gained incompatibilities and then there was the social media and forum interactions, hoooo boy.
It'll never go on sale was one of his definite mantras, how times change eh?
Support said the issue should be fixed, apparently it was a purchasing error???
Anyway gonna try to give uncle Gabe my money later

I am not sure how the tokens and capacity is calculated
Start situation was that I had 100 boost.
I redeemed this with 100 tokens:
Bought some games in between:
And used the boost and got this amount of tokens:
Also the pit stop page shows this:
Now there is no boost left until it resets. I thought I should have 4000 + 3007 tokens, or did I missed something?

If I understood it right, you get 100 capacity points per day and you also get them by buying games.ok, I guess this was already talked about but I am just catching up now with all this jazz...

It launched at €36.99 in Europe, the developer said the game would never get a discount, outside of the launch sale.
It's now at €4,09 here.
at this point I wait till its in a bundle
he said it would never be on sale, it was multiple times now and he reduced the base price a few times... so bundle is the next logical step

Well, they are OK.
Not really masterpieces, but enjoyable, especially at this price.
If I'm remembering correctly, The Hurricane of the Varstray has a pretty good soundtrack.
I believe the manual got released, but don't quote me on that.
Like you say, all things related to this game are a bit of an epic mess.
Jesus christ, I don't get these boosting things. I have apparently 221 tokens left to use that I can use in my cart. I can apparently just stop at the race, reedem 1 boost token and the token is reedemed in my cart.
Wtf. This means tons of free games for me.
I don't get it.

The race should become more interesting when everyone has boosted their initial points/capacity away.
Does it say anywhere that it's puchases since China sale? The FAQ only mentions "Steam purchases you’ve made on your account prior to and during the Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale. We’ve also converted unspent 2019 Lunar New Year tokens into Boost Meter capacity."

How many games does Artifex Mundi make each year?! And why am I considering buying them all?

a few, but they publish hidden object games from other devs too... thats why they release a game once or months or so ^^
and you wanna buy them cause that shit is fun, duh
FunktionJCB I've just had a look around and found a character editor for Grimoire and thought i doubt Cleve is happy about this and sure enough the author was banned from Steam discussion and the last few pages of the thread are Cleve trying to pull an Uwe Boll and fite them. Amazing.

Well, so far I got nine €5 vouchers, bought a lot of crap that totalled €51 and change, so I only had to pay around €6 for everything.
But, since those €6 where paid using the money of some cards I sold in the last few days, it means I effectively paid no actual cash for all the purchases I've done so far.

I feel like the whole thing is bugged to hell and back tbh
I started the sale with negative tokens
I boosted a lot of times to get it to positive
I had like 30 something boosts left and they mysteriously disappeared.

I still dont understand boost capacity! Where is it? I redeemed some points from Path of Exile achievements and I guess I had like 16500 red points after that. I then Boosted 16 times and now I have 500 red points (speed) and 16,000 tokens and I am unable to claim all the other games achievements like you guys did as it says I am out of boost capacity. How are you able to get 100,000 tokens already? I bought some stuff off steam in the past few months.
RE2 demo doesn't give any points. Not sure if because free or because removed, will try another free game.

Ah, the 80s equivalent of a Switch version.

One can never have too many hidden objects games.
Also consider grabbing their 'normal' PnC adventures and
Don't bully! True of course, allthough I expected worse, you can see what's going on, it's quite colorful and the music while bad doesn't make my ears bleed. Compared to other 80's PC ports I'll give it a pass (well, can't say anything about the controls which often was the biggest issue).

I can't wait for this to get even more confusing come refresh time
Gabe took my money finally
Did you play the game to convert that meter into tokens at the pit stop and then buy the discount, or did it automatically ask you whether you'd like to add it at checkout? I could only convert 3000 of my meter to tokens for the day.
From what I understood for some people their racing thingy doesn't reflect their actual true number of tokens. When you generate a discount using those "fake" tokens, Steam considers it as a invalid/not backed from of payment.
So how are real tokens gained? How do I know I have fake tokens?
I don't get this fake and real tokens thing.
Even the achievements tracking are off and the points randomly change from time to time. It's a mess.
asked me if I wanted to convert my 70k points into discount and kept adding that €5 discount
Pro tip: don't buy discounts from the pit stop, only from the cart when it offers you to exchange your tokens into a coupon. Pit stop is borked.
Huh, interesting. Never got that notice, but I only had 14k at the beginning of the sale. If I redeemed my achievement stuff I'd have had more, but it says I shouldn't so idk.
Feared as much. I've already burned 4K tokens :/
What to get to make my capacity over 15,000?
10$ NT = 69 points I have a max of 14,662. How much do I need to spend?

Phoenix RISING
A phoenix always RISES!
Through a trail of gaming articles, I found this oldie.
Videogame Publishers: No Preserving Abandoned Games, Even for Museums and Archives, Because All "Hacking" is Illegal
There are some publishers who would rather see a game destroyed for all eternity than emulated.
FOH with that.

What I’ve learned:
- give up
- buy games you want to play
- play games
But... but I want that $10 off for Cyberpunk pre-purchase...
Woah rock paper shotgun might write an article about you if you do that
But... but I want that $10 off for Cyberpunk pre-purchase...
I assume it will be a steam key so you will be able to get over 10% off presale from GMG, ect.
I'd rather be called a moron than a wasteful human being.
Thing is, it's already $50 here so with an additional $10 discount it'd be a much better deal for me. Also, I already have the Steam wallet ready in my account.
Square Enix: check your spam filter. You should have gotten an email about the Steam Summer Sale. It's a real thing. Google it. That's going on now. It's when you put your games on sale so people buy them.
You don't, you need to wait for Valve to fix it because it's a big. Although I thi k you can see the true token value by seeing what number it displays on your cart when you use the discount.
My friend said boost it increases capacity! I do it and it went down. God damnit lol. I only need to spend 400$ NTD (which baldur's gate ee, dlc, and II + atom rpg would have gotten me). Now i need to spend 1,311$ NTD lol......
The only explanation I have is that boost is bad. I boosted after redeeming one games achievements and I can no longer redeem any more achievements.

What I noticed is that you can keep adding vouchers, even if you don't have tokens available, and when that happens purchases fail.
That's probably what's happening to you.
For example, if you have 30000 tokens, you can craft 2 vouchers, but if you continue clicking to add a voucher on the cart, it appears as adding more, but since you don't have tokens for them, the purchase fails. This is clearly not very well designed, since you get no warning about it.
So, you should make sure you have enough tokens for the vouchers you're adding, otherwise you'll get pending/failed purchases.
Actually, boosting is good!
It's the process with which you convert white points into the tokens you can use to redeem items and vouchers to do so.
You need to have white points to convert, and red points (which is the total limit you can convert).
Boost is good, but you need boost capacity, which is first based on your previous purchases and your purchases in this sale. Boost capacity is spent every time you boost, but you get 1000 tokens each time you do so.
Yea I meant dont boost until the very end I dont think? Like dont boost until you have redeemed all your points for white points. If you boost like I did at the beginning of the day you will have 0 red and you cant earn points.
That's my life philosophy
