GAMERS LAIR

[-v-]

So it's actually worth the effort of clicking on giveaways? I haven't won one but hope when I do they at least celebrate me winning my first with an animation

I thought so too, even here you can search for a similar question I asked last year I only won one game in a year. But in one month I won three. Perhaps the next time will be again in a year. It's just a matter of luck.
But given the current state of the challenges, you can still win two or three keys within one big round (win any first, as example chopping, and then go to watering tomatoes, there are great chances to win the second, then depending on the amount of malus or luck with watering, you reach shoveling and there you win the second or third time, that’s all, further considering the unfair timer, no chance to win, almost no chance to get at least 0.01 galacredit. That is, you spent 80 silver, and then another 160 remain, which simply burn out until tomorrow. But why not to put them in giveaways?

It is useless to explain, argue or try to convey your point of view. There are two options. The first is to ignore this person with forum tools. This will turn off the visibility of all his posts. The second is to report him for provocations. Because he definitely deliberately created them. After Visa and Mastercard quit russia they cannot buy anything directly from Steam. (yes, there are still workarounds with extra fees or neigboring countries etc). In addition, many publishers have banned the purchase of their games in russia (only for them, not in the whole so called RU+CIS region), and some even to activate the keys. that is all made no sense to initially write a message about "not available in Russia" frankly. but then when it hooked the users on the forum, each time he did not stop (lthough he did not forget the phrase "let's talk about games") and threw more and more propaganda rhetoric with each message.
And he also has his own topic ("gamer's lair russian edition" Логово геймера - Русскоязычная версия CIS & etc.), where he invites everyone who understands russian to communicate. it even has a lot of rules, which are just a bunch of funny letters for the rest of the community. but if you translate and read it, then there is a paragraph 9, in which fascism is very strictly prohibited. Well, you know, when you come to a new unfamiliar foreign forum (and indeed, as it turned out, any place), the first thing you do is check if there are Nazis around. and be sure to restrict them. did you do this when you registered? Yes? No?
Well, on the little things, what, say, does his nickname tell anybody? it is easy to understand the meaning of "rus" part, but not knowing the cyrillic alphabet, the first half is just some symbols, it is written by latin symbols cyrillic word "страх", it means "fear". That word has no other meanings. of course, you can always misrepresent that he is a fan of the series of games, but put next to him his beliefs that he is trying to push through between the lines, and the puzzle will add up.

Ahahah thank you made me laugh))) I've had this nickname on Steam for 14 years. When I was 16 years old (20 years ago) I played an MMORPG game called Ultima Online. There I saw a man with the nickname CTPAX. This man was a clan leader and a well-known professional gamer in his circles. That's why I took this nickname, it's like wearing a T-shirt with the name Ronaldo) About 001 is the state number on my car. RUS prefix as it makes the nickname as unique as possible. The nicknames CTPAX or CTPAX001 are already registered on many sites by another users. What you wrote is another fantasy on the topic of conspiracies)) But it's a good attempt LOL, I hope I've told the story of my nickname quite popularly. And about the Russian version of GAMERSLAIR - I just copied part of the rules from my DISCORD server, where it is a good tone to indicate that all racist, Nazi topics are prohibited, as well as discussion of religion, gender, and the like. Another one of your misconceptions that you tried to submit under a beautiful cook. But the dish has gone bad)


I am no longer going to respond to provocative posts on the topic of war. BUT I have never raised them myself. You just attacked me and are trying to humiliate me. Cool tactics. Very kind

*sigh*
I dont like talking about my homeland on the internet (especially on the gaming tred where we all supposed enjoy games, eat grass & leave in peace) because it very difficult to explain foreigner how people live in somelike Donetsk/Luhansk People Republic......
....... but if you like to remember my home, well, so be it. I can add umm.....local expert opinion:
how "funny" live with knowlege that you can "dissapear" for a pro-ukranian views, using ukrainan language or music, fading of learning ukrainian language, destroying of Donetsk industry, lack of international bank systems, University "cardboard" diplomas that have no weight anywhere except Russia and i just beginning of a long crap list. (Oh, how could I forget about forced mobilization, when you can be caught on the street and sent to certain death for nothing )
8 years.... eihgt yaeahs, eeeih ieaaeis
It's funny to see how people who ignored your existence for these 8 years suddenly remembered you and then only for their own self-protective purposes. I remember that. I remember the gradual impoverishment of my city, how my friends left here at the age of 10, I remember how in 2014 we left for Berdyansk, I remember how we lived in a barracks and how my mother cried because she lost her job.
*deep sigh*
I don’t argue, I myself, out of youthful stupidity, supported this crap: I bought ribbons with the flag of the "republic", drew symbols, and I remember even telling my mother that I regret that I was Ukrainian. To which my mother told me that you can deny and hate your origin, but this will not stop you from being one! Maybe this was the starting point in my thinking for all 180 degrees....
It is very sad of course to watch how you move away from your parents because of the different vision of the future in your "sinking ship". At first, things didn’t work out with dad because he was a washed out “patriot”, then a few years later, relations with mom became “cold”.
This year I entered the university as a programmer. It was interesting, then quarantine began after which I generally stopped understanding what was happening. Somehow study turned into torture, you begin to sink into the material and realize your worthlessness more than you learn anything. After that there was a session that I was halfway through, we went out for 2 weeks to learn, quarantine again and then bam - a "surprise" on February 24th.
Every day I wake up reluctant to continue my meaningless life in this imitation of life and continue my existence without hope for the best.
Why develop, learn, maintain tone, develop if you do not feel the joy of hobbies or any sense.

I don’t promote hatred, don’t insult any nation, don’t doubt your patriotic feelings or how the hell a special operation or war is spelled correctly (and yes, if at first it seemed like a joke to me, then after the words ala 8 years - it doesn’t seem so to me) I note that I haven’t heard such discussions about bad Russians in this thread (on gog they discuss about it much harder).
You are a good dude, smart and a good gamer, so let's be friends and hobby colleagues.
Have a nice day!

I'm sorry if I offended you somewhere with my own words. Thank you for your good nature

Unless he drops the prices drastically it's pointless..
I can tell points count even with the stream paused so that's helpful..

He has already added a lot of games at cheaper prices!

Miracles seem to happen and I started to win little by little in indigala giveaways. But I noticed a strange little thing that spoils the pleasure a little. All completed giveaways that appear in my profile in the "Completed to check" section are always not winning, but won silently appear in the "Completed won" section. Yes, this is a real trifle, but I remember when I won for the first time last year, there was a charming animation when you won. Has anyone else won lately and noticed this?

That's all I won. 19 games in 9 months. Each time the victory is accompanied by a beautiful animation.
I have never encountered such a glitch so that the winnings are not accompanied by animation. But I always click the "check everything" button

Very thanks to hoangmarcel2001 for giving me Grid 2

Guys how do you like this screens? This is about the year 2000. I think I did them on 95 windows 19 inch CRT monitor 1024*768 & 56.6kb/sec modem. On one of the screenshots you will see the nickname CTPAX which I later appropriated to myself

Thx but Back 4 Blood this is a hoax. There was a beta version

Wait. What? I've only ever used a booster once: on that day where we all got 100ARP. Can you tell I don't know how or when to use boosters?

Spoiler: Actually Useless Information :|

TL;DR - Look at the calendar in AWA, and synch both login bonuses so you can maximize ARP gain by using a booster on the 27th daily login.

That was a good use of a booster, probably the best time to use them is to save them for these kind of quests that give more ARP than usual, that said, if you want to maximize the ARP gain from a booster then using it on the 6th consecutive login while also synching it with the 27th daily login since these days will give the most ARP and since boosters last 48Hours it'll last for the login bonuses+dailies of the next day aswell, and also doing the steam quests+watching twitch during this means the booster will also affect the ARP gained from those.

Of course, if you take a look at the calendar you'll notice that synching both login bonuses is iffy because you need to "miss" the last day of the month if you want to do this every month. So depending on the month you need to miss either the 30th/31st since those are the last day and only give 10 ARP, and doing it would synch both login bonuses once you login on the 1st day of the next month.
You can also try it in the middle of the month but that might be slightly more annoying to do since you need to wait until your daily login is on the 7th/14th/21st day so you then miss a day and when you login again you should be on the 8th/15th/22th daily login and 1st consecutive day wihc means you just need to login everyday until the 27th and use the booster.


If this is hard to understand, just take a look at the calendar in AWA and read how both the login bonuses work and then this might make more sense.
Big wall of text already so just a few last words, doing this when it synchs "naturally" might be worth it since you get a booster every month anyway, and then you don't need to bother checking if its time miss a login or if you already logged in and now need to do it in the middle of the month or wait for the next one.

Edit: Apparently boosters don't work on the login rewards, I didn't know that so I wrote this big wall of text for nothing I guess.
I'll leave this post up but hide the wall of text under a spoiler.

RUS prefix

I think it's a suffix as it is on the ending part. A prefix is before something, like 123-ABC-789 the 123 is the prefix and the 789 the suffix

So it's actually worth the effort of clicking on giveaways? I haven't won one but hope when I do they at least celebrate me winning my first with an animation

And that is my experience with Giveaways. I'm curious to see other users list.

51 wins in 2 years (with at least a 6 month break) and only 2 of them were faulty. 1 I knew it would be a dead key as it was for influent (entered by a mistake when dear ig was lagging and skipped a row -.- ) and something else that turned out to be the demo (forgot which)

Guys how do you like this screens?

I don't know about the name but Ultima sure looks like a weird game xD
It looks interesting though.. Dunno about it's mechanics as it is so old they might be annoying

Thanks! You won a few nice games! Some time ago GL-residents published their winnings in giveaways on GAMERS LAIR.

I'm curious to see other users list.

I feel like I've had pretty decent luck. I have 55 wins in about 1 year and 3 months of entering almost daily (I'll skip a few days every once in a while).

4 games were a demo/beta, but I kind of knew that going in and figured I'd go for them anyway.

I've had 3 faulty keys, but 2 of them were made right (with added bonuses) by the giveaway creators. The other guy ghosted me and got the only negative feedback I've ever given.

Some of my biggest wins were Evergarden (which I had a 1 in 1,002 chance of winning), Resident Evil Revelations (1 in 808 odds), and Hunting Simulator, which was an official IndieGala giveaway. That one was a 1 iS, multiple entry giveaway. I entered 43 times and had a 43/26,692 chance of winning, but I got it!

I don't think AWA bಠ_ಠsters works on daily/consecutive logins or other activities, except Daily Quest, claim-ARP-events & maybe twitch/steam quests :|

The last time I used the booster a week or so ago it didn't even work on Twitch/Steam quests anymore either. It used to double those points as well earlier this year. But it indeed never worked on daily login points.
