Wh... at?

Ubisoft's password recovery:



Erm...

Yeah its insane but it worked for me. i had to cycle through the pictures till i found one with  4 numbers and type the first half in the left field and the rest on the right.
Other numbers that are splittable in half might work too but i did it with a 4... so i guess it works but its one hell of a unintuitive system.

Well, it certainly is going to confuse the hell out of bots.

I like the "genre cluster" thing a lot. Nothing I want has gone on sale yet--seriously, nothing--but I've got my fingers crossed. If stuff goes well it'd be cool to have like four bullet hells available >_> <_<
I think it's based on the tag system. After all, I don't think that Underrated is an official genre.


On a side note, don't forget to activate your team thingy. You can get free rewards for doing nothing.

I so hope that "Walking Simulator" comes up as one of the things to vote for.

Looks like they have changed how the market works, at least for high volume items like the summer cards. Now uses buy orders matched to sell offers rather than individual listings. As the highest buy order is always matched with the lowest sell offer, it is no longer possible to grab the smaller number of items that are below the market rate by being quick.

I made over $190 today and am poised to make a lot more in the coming days unless something changes soon. I have two accounts and each has a bunch of change team tokens that I bought for around $7-10 each. When a team is in the lead the price for that team spikes to $38-45. Other items are less profitable, like steal points which are always overpriced and 500 bonus points which never seem to rise above $10. I'm hoping to make enough money to buy the $800 version of gamemaker that would also give me 80 cards, lol. I only have 3 items on my wishlist and one of them is an $800 item. While the odds of being one of the 30 on a winning team are low, the odds of them giving me almost $900 of games is much lower.

Well I caved in and bought Divinity: Original Sin.
Looking forward to god-tier music and writing. Combat system might actually be fun as well.

Valve's hat based economy system really has gone a long way.

Even if I wanted to give any money, there's no games I want to buy.

Hmmm....SpaceChem is $1.99.
Worth it?
