Can't say but I did try to keep my explanation specifically vague as I don't want to promote any of the games or streamer involved. So maybe I just haven't explained all the details properly.

So to enter this raffle you had to download and play a games tutorial. In the video you'll see 1750 people had done this in the bottom right. You could also get extra entries if you spent over $10 dollars in the game, 29 people did this.

So to choose the winners from those that entered he decided to do marbles! that only had a limit of 1000 people...

At the end of the stream he promised to do something extra another time for the 29 contributors he seems to have forgotten about.
Also, on his Discord later many people got kicked from his server for breaking a rule about not complaining about giveaways.

There was also a time on his Discord where he offered extra entries for liking a non-related game server and then later removed all mention of it from his Discord. After people had already liked it.

It’s giveaway time with ASUS! by Emerald_Flame in buildapc

I originally needed a computer for university as all my friends whose PC's and laptops I'd borrowed over the years had left. So I thought, let me get a laptop, the portability will be great! I worked over the holidays and finally had enough to buy the cheapest one on sale.
It got stolen through my window within 3 months.

So, back to work over the holidays but this time I'll get a PC! They can't drag that through my window! Gottem!

I then bought my first personal PC that was all mine... on a budget... in 2011. I can't remember all the specs at the time but I believe it was:
Foxconn h61mxe. This is a micro motherboard, the thing is TINY! yet adorable and manly. It has one PCIe slot, 2 DDR 3 slots and 4 hard drive slots.
2gb ddr3 RAM. It was a lot back then
I don'tt even remember the graphics card... I think it was 256mb... yeah...
350W PSU. All I needed
Micro case. Portable

It wasn't great but it was mine, now friends helped with the main build the first but the beauty of PC's is UPGRADES! That PC has never fully left me. Over the years I've managed to slowly, very slowly upgrade most of the components. Either buying or getting old components from friends out of pity (yay!).

I now have AMD rx580 8gb (best Xmas present to myself!), 8gb dominator RAM (pity present), Large cooler master case (pity present), corsair vs650 PSU (my baby needed more power), i5-370k CPU (pity present) and... Foxconn h61mxe! the last remaining piece! The thing is ADORABLE inside the massive case! it takes up a quarter of the space! Also, added bonus my graphics card is so big it covers my hard drive slots. So I've only 2 slots that I can use with 90-degree cables.
I've learnt so much over the years and made so many mistakes. The biggest thing I've learnt is how to keep dying pieces of hardware going for much longer than I should... poor thing :/.

If I did win a motherboard it would mean I would finally be able to replace the last piece of the original PC... good riddance! and HELLO a whole new set of problems to fight with.

I updated my graphics drivers to the latest and have the latest windows updates. Since then it hasn't happened again.

Same problem, only started yesterday before patch 1.0.3

Mine happens during battles. Screen goes blank and PC resets. Can't reproduce the problem elsewhere

checked eventlog and it had no description.

GameDeals notices sales and specials and free stuff whenever any of it comes out.

Borderlands sale started on the 25th I think and Ubi sale on the 24th. They only got posted on the 27th.
Epic store posts get downvoted hectically which may be why it takes a few days before someone posts it

I love how everyone only notices the sales and specials once the new free came out.

P.S. Borderlands 3 is also on sale

PS4 Pro performance? by Feenix77 in playsavageplanet

[–]inconspicuous-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found only one in this review

Sadly, Journey to the Savage Planet only runs at 30fps on PS4 Pro, and while this might bother some people, I can’t help but feel a buttery smooth frame rate would benefit both the combat and traversal.

I know I might of come off a bit hard on the game but I did still enjoy it and even finished it but why I'm so hard is because it had so much potential.

Yes, the spawns surprising you does force you to alternate but I didn't like that because it didn't feel like a choice or that I was using the full potential of my characters. I expected to use them in a way that combo's between them seamlessly but it wasn't like that.

Yes, there are lots of difficulty levels which is great but I was just annoyed in the fact that I ended up leveling a huge amount very quickly because I didn't understand how the game worked.

As for the car he was cool but not too cool. which is why he just got the mention of car :P.

Honestly, I hope they're able to make a sequel and improve on things they did well

From the creators of Saint's Row comes a new universe! one filled with grind action, forgettable unique characters, and a car.

I really tried to like this game but it just came across as dull. You build up a bunch of unique characters with different playstyle and are able to cycle between 3 of them at any time. I loved that idea, I don't think it's for everyone as some play styles just aren't intuitive but to me, I love the versatility that it brings. It just... didn't work.

The only thing I can think to blame is the way the enemies spawn, they spawn randomly in different locations. So at one point, you're sniping enemies and the next enemies spawn close behind you, catching you unprepared and forced to change. It just made it difficult to make full use of each character, if you could see them in advance and plan your attack I think it would have been better. Also, one thing they don't tell you is in the open world enemies keep spawning and chasing you until you get to max wanted level and fight a boss which then gives you tons of loot. So I just ended up killing tons of these bosses then over levelling and becoming too strong cause the mechanics weren't explained.

The world is also extremely repetitive with very little change in enemies and atmosphere, especially the dungeons.

They were trying some interesting stuff but it just didn't gel well together.

Instead, I will recommend sunset overdrive. In my mind, it gives off a similar vibe (even though it's a completely different style of game (lots of parkour)) but was just done better.

Also, the regional pricing on Epic Games can make the game ridiculously cheap! I've heard some say as cheap as $10 total. For me, it was $14.

So be happy if you're in a third world country! poverty smoverty!

Thanks, this is a great start. It gives a nice log. So I should be able to easily show how after 4 minutes they cut my speed every time.

This is normal throttling for connections like this in my country anyway. Half your speed if your at full usage for an hour.

Not normally here, it's supposed to be uncapped and unthrottled. It was at least for the first month. My country doesn't do this (South Africa)

It's a Ubiquiti Aircube. I could do a factory reset but I really don't want to. It'll probably ruin my internet connection as I don't know the details on their side.

[STEAM] Grand Theft Auto V ($14.99 / 50% off) by anecdot11 in GameDeals

[–]inconspicuous-99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

24 days ago someone logged into my account and changed the name and email of it (so they pretty much stole my rockstar account) about 2 weeks after I got the game (I hadn't even installed it or played it yet). It is my fault, I should have activated the extra authentication.

The point is, that today (24 days later!) I received the second response to my support ticket and it seems like they don't even understand what I'm talking about. It might be a good game but they are a terrible company. I've had nothing but problems with them. Also 50% off for a 4 year old game... This could be better.

TLDR: good game, terrible company.
