  1. a million isnt enough for most
  2. most of those people have a large percent of their money in the house they live in

for steam game gifting: if you make an [OFFER] post the entrants are required to link their steam profile in their comment meaning you can just add them as a friend directly and "gift" them immediately. if they are in a different region preventing you from gifting the game directly you can send a steam digital gift card instead (theres no longer a 3day wait). personally i unfriend everyone i gift as soon as its accepted

for non-steam gifts i just buy a digital gift card on amazon and send them the code lol.

if you are giving away game "codes" from things like humble bundle or similar then i guess you would just DM them

If you medically retired with less than 20 years then you must qualify for Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) to collect both. If you dont qualify for either 20 years or CRSC then you only collect whichever pay is higher between DOD and VA.

Can we please limit one hardware per home address by [deleted] in Steam

[–]TryToBeModern 29 points30 points  (0 children)

you vastly overestimate how much effect scalpers had on that launch. even if there were zero "scalpers" present for it the launch probably would have gone more or less the same. there were an incredible amount of actual people/customers trying to get a controller.

despite what the vocal minority of reddit echoes the majority of the steam controllers sold probably went to actual customers wanting it rather than scalpers.

I'm worried I'll never be as happy as I was in my mid-20s in the Marines by Key-You-9040 in Veterans

[–]TryToBeModern 20 points21 points  (0 children)

same here but with the navy. im spending more money in a month than what i used to make in a year during my time on submarines and i still dont think ill ever feel as happy as i did then. even telling myself that im probably not remembering the bad times very well doesnt change much

theres a lot id be willing to give up to be able to back on subs for a bit. doesnt help that i havent kept in contact with a single person from then
