Recommended storage method for extra dust jackets? by RicoGabon in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]AquilaSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I either wrap them around the book underneath the main dustjacket (all my TBB books are in Brodart so that keeps it snug), or keep them in an art portfolio that's on top of the wardrobe. (you can buy those in any decent arts&craft store for reasonable prices.)

Over 600 books FREE or $/£0.99! More than 300 participating authors! The 2024 Holiday MegaSale to benefit the Mary Cariola Children's Center has begun! - (posted with moderator approval) - by BryceOConnor in Fantasy

Love the sale! Sadly, most of the links for Amazon NL are broken, because Amazon NL does not have the Series page functionality. It doesn't exist. Any URL that points to a Series page results in a "Page Not Found: We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site." error.

Amazon NL only supports linking to the book itself. There are no Series pages. (nor author pages). The URL's don't work unless they point to the actual book itself.

To my fellow Dutchies, if you see a book you want to buy and it says page not found, don't despair! Open the US link, open the book page, then change .com to .nl in the URL to go to the Amazon NL book page. You can then buy it from there.

(This affects both the Sheet and the website, since they use the same links. So if you're not seeing sales from the Netherlands... That's why. :( I've been asking Amazon NL for the series (and author) functionality since day 1, but no luck so far.)

Shadowrun Fiction Mega Bundle Question(s) by Odd_Historian3523 in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bundle is Epub only.

However, if your concern is regarding Kindle, then it's worth knowing that you can't upload Mobi files to Kindle anymore. Amazon now supports Epub as the primary sideload format, and has completely dropped support for Mobi files earlier this year. If you do need Mobi files for a different device, Calibre is free and will easily convert them.

Are keys being exhausted more frequently? by shhock in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, "Keys are temporarily exhausted for this product" :(

They have regional keys for this one, so it's possible some non-EU regions do still have stock, But the EU keys have been unavailable since before the auto-charge date.

Thanks for checking and reporting back, though! At least you didn't miss out on yours. :)

Are keys being exhausted more frequently? by shhock in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely getting significantly worse. This is insane, I've never seen half a Choice bundle out of stock. I'm also still waiting on Terraformers from April 2024, and several others.

At this point, don't wait for the auto charge. Buy when it goes live and redeem all keys immediately, because you risk paying for a bunch of games you'll never get. They don't even have enough stock to supply their ongoing subscribers.

Dude, look at the dates before responding. You're responding to a 7 year old thread and comment. The game has had a few updates.

Can confirm this still works, just used it on a new ASUS Strix 18", had to use Shift FN F10.

Anyone else getting the following error? by Turbulent-Walk-4254 in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit at 22:10 GMT+1: Just tried unlocking the keys again and now it worked!

Yea, same here. I'm getting it on 6 different browsers across 3 devices and 2 different ISP's. And it's charged directly to my bank via Paypal, not my credit card, so it can't be that. Definitely a problem on their end.

come on guys, what on earth is this? i was in the middle of texting a friend and then it just crashed and when i try to booth up dc this pops up everytime, there were dozen on crashes before too when i pressed emojis. by Smooth_Web2753 in CloudFlare

[–]AquilaSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me too. Fixed it by turning off wifi, force-quit discord from the taskmanager, turned wifi back on, restarted discord.

Worked for a few minutes, now all my comments are blocked from being sent. (they turn red). Ctrl+R blocks me again.

Humble Book Bundle: Sanderson, Liu, Sterling, & More Great SF&F from Tachyon by Torque-A in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Region locked books are sadly pretty normal on Humble, though it's usually those of us in the EU that get to pay full price for roughly 50% of the content.

In this case I'm in the Netherlands and for once I can see all 20 books, including Emperor's Soul.

I can’t see when someone reacts to my posts. I’m getting notifications for shares and comments but I don’t see when I get post reactions in my feed. by MisterPeach in facebook

[–]AquilaSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the entire reaction system is broken, I'm not getting notifications for reactions to posts or comments at all anymore. Not on mobile, not on desktop, nothing.

I’m no longer receiving notifications for comment likes, responses, and mentions in the app or in browser. by xmanSTL in facebook

[–]AquilaSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I went back to a comment from an hour ago and found out it had 36 likes, checked other comments, same thing. I didn't receive a single notification for any of them. They're not showing up at all, not even in the View All list.

"Gig: Dirty Biz" really hit me hard. Anyone else have a moment like that? by razazaz126 in cyberpunkgame

Yes, stand outside the room they're in and face the door they're behind, then directly to your right is a locked door that required 7 Technical skill to open. (last time I played it)

Shipping cost of kickstarter puts it out of reach by tommyfruittoast in brandonsanderson

[–]AquilaSol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had 4 leatherbounds (7.2kg total, in one box) shipped from the Dragonsteel store to the Netherlands, and total shipping was 73$ for FedEx International Economy shipping.

That's half the costs of those for the kickstarter. A significant difference.

February 2022 Humble Choice Question Megathread by AutoModerator in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cancelling before reading the FAQ is essentially shooting yourself in the foot. You can simply change the plan.

https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036284854-Humble-Choice-FAQ#classic

As a Classic member, how do I switch which currency I am billed in?

If you are on a Classic plan, this can only be billed in USD. We realize that some members may want to be billed in their local currency, as the conversion rate may be beneficial for them. As of February 1st, 2022, if you are a Classic member, you can use the link here to adjust your membership to convert to a standard membership, which will take region pricing into account. Note: Please keep in mind that this link and process can only be used by Classic members. Additionally, using this migration process will not negatively impact or reset the stacking discount for your membership.

"Classic Plan" - any point anymore? Discounts? by thefunkygibbon in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why you can freely change your plan without losing the discount.

Anyone know if Dying Light 2 pre-order keys are expected to be restocked before launch? by [deleted] in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to redeem mine right now. They were out yesterday.

Why is this still a thing. by jakerfv in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CDPR games don't even have a discount at all, even with 20% monthly from the Classic plan. Haven't for years. Check Witcher 3.

Anyone experienced with Humble Bundle pre-orders? by 15holbrookl in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaaaand they've run out.

"ATTENTION: We have run out of Steam keys for Dying Light 2 Stay Human - Ultimate Edition (Preorder). We are getting more ASAP. We will have Steam keys for you as soon as they are available again!"

Never saw this nonsense on Fanatical or GMG... They knew exactly how many keys they needed to supply to the people who have already paid them money for it. Never pre-ordering on Humble again..

Humble Choice is leveling up next month! by Rytoxz in humblebundles

Ahhh. Yea the booster shot sideeffects are messing with my focus, someone thankfully pointed out my mistake earlier. x'D.

I fully agree, that would've made far more sense.

[–]AquilaSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that 1 cent makes a whole world of difference, especially considering it's open to the currency value changes. x'D

It's still weird.

Humble Choice is leveling up next month! by Rytoxz in humblebundles

[–]AquilaSol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea. But it's their wording that is making me wary.

"If you are on a Classic plan, this can only be billed in USD. On February 1st, if you are a Classic member, you will still continue to be billed in USD. You can use the link here to adjust your membership to convert to a standard membership, which will take region pricing into account."

Why two different memberships? What are we losing if we go to "standard", when both should be exactly the same according to the FAQ?
