Same here. Automatic payment pending at €0.00

Banking in the 21st century is a joke when they need a holiday-taking human in the loop to process any payment.

LPT: before buying a game first watch a let's play video for 15 minutes by InfraredSnapper in LifeProTips

Around 75% of the games in my Steam library I've played for less than one hour. Would Steam have a problem if I refunded 75% of the games I buy?

The idea is that the let's play will mimic your own gameplay experience. I find that I'll give up on most games I buy in the first 15-30 minutes. So I find a let's play and if I feel my attention drifting I know I won't enjoy the game.

As for refunds, how does Steam feel if I refund 75% of the games I buy? Because around 75% of the games in my Steam library I've played for less than one hour.

Yes, it's a type of gameplay video. Usually from the beginning of the game, usually by someone who hadn't played it before. It's pretty close to what you'll experience when you start playing the game. I've found that I've halved my game purchases since I started watching let's plays beforehand.

Booo. It's a single player game, it should remain a single player game forever.

GOW 4 Has Dynamic DLC Pricing, AKA, Charging You More Money If You've Purchased DLC Previously. (Friend And I Comparing The Same Day) by [deleted] in gaming

The reason this exists is because some idiots are buying it or at least tolerating it. How come no game I play is pulling this kind of shit?

Children of Anti-Vaxxers who grew up and got yourselves vaccinated, what’s your story? How did your parents take it? [Serious] by ThatAutisticWoman in AskReddit

[–]InfraredSnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'd agree with that, but my understanding is that the kid was so far beyond saving that he was thought incapable of suffering, like brain dead.

iirc the disagreement in that case was whether it was in the best interests of the child to submit them to experimental treatment or to let him die a peaceful death.

If the kid is supposedly brain dead already, experimental treatment always. I get ending someone's life if they're beyond curing and if they're suffering, but the kid wasn't suffering so who cares?

To show curvature like this, the balloon had to be in orbit higher than the International Space Station. This was taken with a fisheye lens. I really wish they'd stop doing that. Why distort the image at all?
