I haven't had 0 card drops in probably 2+ years. Usually I would reach 1-2 games w/ drops remaining, at which is harder to trigger the glitch, and wait until the queue built up to 20-30 drops. However, due to laziness my drop count exceeded 200 about 2-3 months ago, and I've been chipping away at it ever since.

6 cards away from complete, I have sold the majority of what I idled over the past week and am up $25 as of right now.  Still about 350 cards in inventory to sell and 76 on the market right now.  I'm all set for the Halloween sale!

 
How do you guys list your cards? I'm a neanderthal and still do it manually, but it doesn't take too long once I get into a rhythm.

I like to see what the sell/buy offers are (and the history chart) then list based on that, versus just undercutting the lowest price. Most cards are high volume and just sell at their cheapest prices but some do sell for more if you don't need a sale within 2-3 days.

with the 'sell all cards' button from ES, just whatever market price is. Then every so often go back in with steam economy enhancer to auto relist anything unsold closer to market price

I was using the Steam Inventory Whateverer plugins until they became compromised, then I realized that ES is just a one click listing for all cards. I don't keep any cards or trade them away. Listing them at regular price is good enough for me, and I end up selling more than when I was listing at a penny higher with SIW.

 
I sold a random non-foil card for $2.19. All the other cards are worth the usual 4 to 7 cents. I have no idea how this one got listed at $2 or how it sold, but hey I'll take it. Now if the other 400 cards I have listed could do the same.

 
I used to eat these (both of them, I'm not fat ur fat) back in the day. Some days, when I'm very very sad, I crave them.

Those are good in a "cheap tasting but also good tasting pizza that makes you think you can feel yourself dying" kind of way.

I wonder how the double decker I posted comes packaged. If it's just two pizzas that you have to cook separately then it's a horrible deal because it's probably just two of these

that you are supposed to stack after cooking. But the singles are less than $3 each but the double decker pack is $7... So that's a horrible deal.

But if they're pre stacked and you cook them together, the crust on top will taste like crap and not be cooked... Whomever at epic meal time that sold this idea to walmart should be fired.

 
I mean, it depends how much you like Dark Souls. Both dlcs are worth playing, but Ashes is pretty short and not as good quality wise as Ringed City. Ringed City I'd say is essential, Ashes is fine but if you're not huge into Souls you can skip it. The final boss is pretty ridiculous though.
How long is the content for Ringed City DLC?

It's the only DLC that I'm missing here w/ DkS3, since I got DkS3 + Ashes in that HBM.

EDIT:

Who knows when I would probably get to it. But if it don't go on sale much, and since I do have some HB Wallet $, might just toss it on this.

I still need to finish DkS: PTD and actually start-up DkS2: Scholar.

EDIT 2:

Oh, screw it. I'm in. I have HB Wallet $ just sitting there, extra $2 discount, 10% off extra, and whatnot. After the discounts and whatnot, this gonna cost me like $2.61.

Anyone else get into the project stream trial? I was excited to try it out since I have an old rig but good internet. But I can't get past a black screen on startup...
Just got an e-mail tonight and gave it a shot. Didn't have any black screen issues myself. Setup was pretty straightforward and painless. My internet is roughly 100 Down and 5 Up and while input lag was noticeable, it was still better than I anticipated. Played with a wireless X1 controller and I heard it improves substantially if you go wired, but I couldn't find the cable. Visually the game looks fine; a little fuzzier than if I were playing it natively but nothing distracting. Probably won't bother going back to it since I don't really care for the AC formula personally, but the overall experience was surprisingly fair. Even if input lag was perfect, though, I can't imagine this kind of service truly taking off so long as ISPs continue to screw over customers with data caps. Lots of things need to change and I doubt that happens any time soon.

 
Cause the game is good?

Oh man. it’s COD, it must be trash. If you played a lot of PUBG like a lot of us CAGS have (and enjoyed) Blackout is 100x better.
Your non-gamer dudebro attitude makes me want to play any game you suggest even less. I bet you've photoshopped at least one meme of you drinking lean with Rick Sanchez and your tinder pic is of you vaping.

I mean, okay. Personally I wouldn't buy DLC for a game when I've been working on the first game in the series for 6 years, but to each their own

 
So when PUBG first came out, I played it at someone's house, LOVED IT and came home and bought it.  Tried playing it and it just loved to crash.  Have tried after every patch it just crashes.  I have managed to redeem crates from Twitch and that is about it,  I have never been able to play it.  People I know who play it have alternately complained about hackers, poor performance and crashes.  A lot of players jumped ship because they thought it was stagnant and the company was more interested in suing other companies than fixing bugs/improving the game.  And Player Unknown himself has had a few minor meltdowns of sorts on Twitter, so it has that going for it.  The folks I know from MMOs who were playing have migrated to Fortnite, or maybe something else by now.  

Having said that, it still has a huge playerbase (relative to most other mp games on Steam) and I am hoping my crashing that I never fixed was hardware/driver related and the new system makes the problem go away.  (New system is built, mostly, had to RMA one thing and been too busy to migrate the graphics card and drives, doing that tomorrow/later today assuming I ever get to sleep tonight)

Assuming it does fix the problem, perhaps I can actually play it at some point soon and see if I enjoy it as much now as I did when everybody was new and terrible.  Also looking forward to playing The Division which I know didn't like something in my system as I actually narrowed that problem down and I eventually gave up on finding a fix, planning on going back to it when I got around to upgrading.

tldr:  I dunno what is actually wrong with PUBG because I can not play it.

 
PUBG's main "problem" right now is probably the player population dropping. There's still tons of people playing it, but way less casuals than before so harder to get a win.

It's become way more stable. I used to get crashes pretty regularly and I rarely get them now. Cheating was pretty bad for awhile but it's gotten better too.

I'd say it's at its best so if it works on your new rig I'd give it a try. There's also some decent alternatives out there for you to explore.

I got it figured out (a disable html5 autoplay extension killed it) and it works great... Much better than I expected it would. I can't tell what kind of settings it's running on but it looks a far sight better than anything my pc can generate. There is a little input lag but with something like AC it doesn't make an impact. An FPS would be frustrating though. If they can iron that out though, this is a real gamechanger. No downloads, no updates, no updating your GPU to keep up with games.

Data usage on streaming might be a thing but over the life of the game it's probably still less than the 50+ gigs you'd be downloading from steam for new games. It's not yet a substitute for the >1080 crowd(p or gtx) but maybe someday soon...
 
Player population dropping in PUBG, eh?

Sounds like it's time for PUBG to drop a Single Player Offline Skirmish mode (with bots/AI), before everybody decides to just stick online w/ Fortnite and/or Black Ops 4.

EDIT:

So, umm...besides my usual on-and-off playing of DkS1 and all being an issue (which you've got a great point & are certainly right about)...

What are your thoughts on the actual Ringed DLC content here?

Was it good? Do you like it? How long's it take to finish per play-through?

You can already play with bots on mobile and it is free so that should scratch your itch.

It's very good, while Ashes of Ariandel isn't bad by any means, I'd say Ringed City is fairly must play by comparison. Depending on how much exploring you do and how adept you are at the game it'll probably take somewhere between 8-12 hours, making it one of the longer dlc packs in the Soulsborne series.

But does anyone really play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare MP on the PC?

Nevermind that the player base is further even probably smaller, w/ the small amount of users that might actually have the Season Pass content.

And since the IW MP sucks - isn't there better and more populated MP competitive FPS's games out there?

IW Season Pass is $10 on NewEgg w/ the coupon code, if you missed the deal and are looking for it.

No link or coupon code this time either! At least you're consistent!

and no one's buying the SP for the competitive MP, they're buying it for the zombie maps

 
You can play them solo offline so go buy it.
Never had any interest in COD Zombies.

Even at $10 - eh, still not interested.

If this IW Season Pass came also w/ COD4: MW Remastered, maybe I would jump for $10. But, it doesn't - so, meh.

If you have no interest, why are you asking about it..
You commented Zombies is a selling point for COD Season Pass.

I asked only if anyone is playing it, since it's part of Season Pass - since Pass on PC over seems to be a segmented community, where those Pass maps aren't usually what most players play here.

I never commented if I cared about COD Zombies. And since we're at it, add COD Extinction. Those are 2 modes that I could careless about.

You probably meant "I couldn't care less". If you're asking about it, it usually means you have interest or care about it.

Regardless, you know what I meant.

You brought up Zombies in the first place, not me. I replied to your comments on it. I didn't mention it in 1st go around about the Pass b/c my interest level is low on it.

Not really interested in Zombies, Extinction, and any other COD shark-jumping.

If I want zombies - give me Dying Light; Dead Island games; Dead Rising series; Left 4 Dead series.

 
So Wildstar, the MMO that was going to kill WoW because hardcore attunement and slow, unrewarding 40-man raiding is what everybody really wanted, shuts down on November 28.  I actually really liked the design of the game world and questing in it.  Too bad that is where the actual fun stopped.
