IG forums have always worked perfectly for me, which is suspicious, because it's part of IG. Meanwhile, SG has been occasionally loading pretty slow for me the last few days.
I just had it happen again...it probably has alot to do with the fact I refresh this forum consistently (guessing ivo does too), instead of waiting for alerts like most people.

I just got the forum error earlier. The main site was working fine at the time. A GA I made ended on SG, and for a few mins it said no winners, which is what it says if there are no entries. It did have entries, and eventually a winner was chosen.

To get the most out of it, you have to join groups. Groups only let you join if you've already given away things, and then it becomes trading with extra steps.

The extra steps are the important part though, because if you try to trade with someone, they value their own things much more highly, making actual trading difficult.

The groups allow Steam to determine the value, so no need for negotiation.

Stellar Blade demo out. 17GB.

Normally i'd be all over testing this...but I won't be downloading 17GB of anything off my phone, so until I leave this hell and hopefully end up somewhere not so hellish (like eternal darkness), I'm unfortunately not.going to be the one to try these out. If you could actually download them on mobile without tethering it would be a different story, but even remote installation requires a connection on PC.

Wasn't interested when I had nothing but time...doubt I ever will be.

I prefer to gift than trade, I break the rule on rare occasions when someone has something I want and dont want to buy or I have something extremely valuable just by chance...but its really rare.

Yes, it's a time killer. I just like winning stuff. It's fun. There's a "Space Cat" popup, like the GA winning overlay popup when you win here. Addictive.

There are forums there too, and people do give stuff away. Key drops, non Steam things. There was also a holiday thread where people kind of e-beg? It asked what games people had been trying to win the most. I mentioned one, and someone gave it to me. I was new to the site, so didn't realize it was an e-beg thread. I just thought people were talking about what they were trying to win.

I have 47, that you gave me, as well as 2 and WoA. I have them on PS2, but not Steam.
That was my situation as well...figured most people would have been in the same boat, seems some of the users here were PC gamers most of their lives where some of us douchebags started with consoles :LOL:

Oh well, at least I didnt go overstock dot com on these like I did with the last one.

Not to sound like a console fanboy, because I'm not, but at one point console games were better. Trying to get a lightgun, or any pre USB thing, to work on PC was a nightmare, very little supported it even if you could. Many coders/publishers treated PC as an afterthought. It's not that the PC was incapable, but the ports were intentionally? bad. That still happens now sometimes, the bad ports.

SF2, which I was a big fan of, absolutely sucked on PC, but on SNES it was pretty good. I bought the console just for SF2. At the time, the best PC SF2 game was a homemade game by a Korean guy, that also added a lot of other characters from various franchises. The version I got was in Korean, and I translated it myself. Again with the hex editing.
