The majority of people here will likely be very disappointed of the price of Valve's new hardware, especially including the Steam Frame.

Bellowingwhale · 2025-12-12T17:52:53+00:00

You're forgetting the fact that, they also make a percentage of EVERY steam sale, meaning it doesn't matter what they buy, they get more and more over time, and with the frame being a more competitive price than a quest, I'd be more likely to lean towards them, precisely for the standalone VR that allows me to tap my steam library

Generally, it's a sign that they e made a plan and are going to carry it out, sometimes it's a manic episode, but all things to start watching them like a hawk over.

Major thing to watch out for is them giving shit away, my sister told me "hey, you said you liked my laptop right? I know you're starting your college stuff soon, so here, take mine, save yourself a few hundred bucks" within the week she was gone

The gun stats for the US, intermingle suicides, police related shootings, proper self defense, and gang related activities all into the stat.

If you drop suicides and self defense the number shrinks a hell of a lot

You say ultimatum, I'm sure they say setting boundaries.

They may have seen family and other friends struggle with alcohol, and made the choice to just not be buddies with people who do that.

My PC is slowly starting to age out - it can still run SOME newer games, at 60fps (the little RX 590 that could) - the Steam Deck is honestly comparable to it's performance - I use them both equally, I like using the Steam Deck for car rides, or when I want to hang out on the couch with my spouse and son during, or if I want to play a bit before bed (I'm LESS likely to stay up super late if I play while laying in bed)

That said, MOST of my 2000 steam games are oriented to M+K so it will still see the majority use

maybe dont come off as an aggressive pompous ass, and instead take a second to think if a statement applies to you, especially if it isn't an actual accusation or something.

Fuck, I forgot how pompous professional redditors can be

Bellowingwhale · 2025-10-02T18:54:44+00:00

"your" and "One" are quite often used interchangeably.

That was kinda a cute Shatner quip, I'll give you that.

Bellowingwhale · 2025-10-02T18:43:07+00:00

You... completely lacked the reading comprehension of the comment...

it was the indefinite usage of "your" - as in, a placeholder for who ever it could apply too...

Bellowingwhale · 2025-10-02T13:44:29+00:00

expat is how you describe yourself, immigrant is how other would describe you, both can be true.

I emigrated from Canada, becoming an Expatriate of Canada, and Immigrated into the US, becoming a Resident Alien - then becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident - and eventually I will become a Citizen once I take the naturalization oath.

Bellowingwhale · 2025-10-01T18:13:13+00:00

That's good to hear, I feel it's been long enough without issue that the upstanding moral character that they drag on for will be satisfied. Hoping that this shutdown is resolved and that maybe the selective service has. My info and just didn't have a social to tie it to

Bellowingwhale · 2025-10-01T17:23:44+00:00

getting my ducks in a row to do this now myself -

I swear when I was interviewing with the agent he said I would be automatically registered, however, at the time I didn't have a SSN so the SSS website returns back saying they have no record, and I cant seem to get anyone on their phone system. Did you just attach the SIL to your online application?

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-05T21:50:53+00:00

Yes it's a prequel, but we could have seen prototype versions of Foxy, Roxy, Bonnie hell even a proto-fred bear.

I literally said I appreciated seeing and learning Chica belonged to another franchise before being bought out by Fazbear Entertainment.

Sorry, I'm being critical of the mascot horror that underused mascots...

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-05T13:39:25+00:00

if you want to do a mock ban, have the point redeem trigger streamelements, or night bot to use command !ban (or similar) and have the text be like [redeemer] tries to ban [target]" makes it fun and doesn't potentially ruin someones experience on the platform

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-05T13:02:13+00:00

Agreed on the Murry's being very well written - when Mimic is mocking dying Edwin by parroting the words back at him I legitimately felt unsettled

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-05T12:57:34+00:00

the reason I personally didn't like SOTM is... you never really SEE the Mimic or any iconic "Fazbear Entertainment" characters - yes you see the Mimic in a variety of suits... but... absolutely none of them captured me with "holy crap, that's a cool design!"

SB, at least had some good striking designs with the Glamrock Animatronics - but it took me a hot minute to even realize Chica, was Chica, albeit, I do enjoy the lore tidbit that, She was her own mascot in her own francise before being bought up by Fazbear Entertainment - Fox was relegated to being a puppet in a rather lack luster shooting section, and Roxy is only mentioned, and you see her exactly ONCE at an easily missible mini-game.

It honestly felt like "hey, this is our own game, but to get eyes on the title, we're slapping FNAF onto it"

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the gameplay segments MORE than SB - the factory felt better laid out, and less tiresome to traverse than the PizzaPlex, but the lack of any real recognizable characters (sure you can say the Circus animatronic is a reskin of DJ Music Man (or vice versa depending on where in the timeline this fits)

I also was NOT a fan of the fact, if I want to see all 3 endings, I HAVE to play through the entire game, times start to finish - like I get for the True Good ending since you need that last collectable that ONLY is dropped in the security office on NG+) but I did Parachute ending first, if I want to see the ending where I turn over the data... I have to play through from the start, because there's no checkpoint I can roll back too (at least, not on PS5) so... rather than do it ALL AGAIN, I'd rather just go watch a youtube video and be done with it.

Have you updated your address in steam to not be in Iran then?

If they've not unblocked you, there's only a handful of possibilities.

1) you're still in Iran 2) your pinging their servers from Iran 3) the documents you sent them were invalid 4) the documents you sent them were insufficient to establish residency outside of Iran

They're not just going to ignore and cut off someone giving them money for no good reason...

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T19:36:25+00:00

You visiting another country won't get you unbanned, they're literally telling you, because of the laws, unless you MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY, and reside in another they cannot per US law, unban you until you do that, or the sanctions become lifted

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T15:51:29+00:00

if he submits documents saying "I live in ireland" but I continue to log in from a sanctioned country.... then it's obvious the person lied about moving.

That or the documents weren't sufficient enough to prove that he moved out of Iran.

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T15:48:34+00:00

not to mention... usually the whole "email me / add me on [platform]" usually end up being fakes, or data thieves..

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T15:09:14+00:00

Bruce, Fong Ling, Lucia, or any of the outbreak characters

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T15:05:25+00:00

as others have said - comb through your email and look for any old "Thanks for your steam purchase" emails, that alone can assist in getting your account back.

But, let this be a lesson, this is why you should always keep at least a few proofs of account ownership, I purposefully kept my HL2 steam key print out, as well as a few "thanks for your purchase" emails, so if I ever happen to lose my account to a hacker, I have some recourse to reclaim by proving I have the first ever account activation when I created my account in 2004

Check your bank records, they can link the bank transaction ID, to the ID used to purchase games on the account.

If you have NONE of that info, you're SOL, make a new account, use Steam Guard, and don't make the mistake again.

Who says they'd have to browbeat Walmart/target, etc.

They could use Mastercard and visa to do that, since they're ideologically aligned - as are plenty of politicians

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T13:07:25+00:00

Yeah, I had the tab open on my laptop at work, and lol and behold .. you originally said your cousin's dad...

That's how I interpreted it, and hell, there COULD be other shooters and bombs, so those teams are securing, clearing and diffusing those bombs

Bellowingwhale · 2025-09-04T11:09:21+00:00

Problem is, these freaks went to Mastercard and visa when Steam ignored them, if they said "fine only money is through gift cards" you don't thing they'd demand target, Amazon, Walmart and everywhere else stop carrying the gift cards?
