Happy Turkey Day! (also STEAM SALE)
14 years ago
Hey hey everybody! It's that day where some people eat a lot! I know I plan to!
I'm thankful for a lot of things, but I don't want to boast. So just suffice to say, there's a lot I'm thankful for, probably stuff I don't even realize I should be thankful for. So to whoever or whatever, or lack there of, thanks for that.
Also I'm generally thankful of FA and all my watchers who still continue to watch me even though I haven't posted that much at all lately. And being a furry. There's nothing quite like it, and if I was born a different person, I can't imagine what life would be like without it.
I hope everyone has a good day today, whether they celebrate today or not.
Also that whole snow storm, power outage thing was over and done with a LONG while ago. We were out power for almost five days, internet for about 4. I swear we were the first ones to loose power and the last people to get it back. But yeah, all set now, just forgot to say so. owo
GOBBLE GOBBLE EVERYWHUN!
EDIT: I'm also thankful for Steams wonderful seasonal sales, one of which is going on right now!
In case you didn't notice, Steam is having a weekend sale event Nov 23-27, with different sales happening everyday.
Some of the sales are like 50-75%, especially for collections and games that may be a little old, but are still pretty good, like the Sam and Max complete collection and some of the older Elder Scrolls games, like Oblivion and Morrowind. There's lots of sales I don't even know about too, so check it out if you're interested.
If you don't know what Steam is, now would be a good time to check it out! Steam is a service to purchase and download PC video games online, from AAA titles to indie games. Not to mention, a wonderful social cloud system, that let's you build a friend's list, and see what those people are playing, join their game (if applicable), and chat while you play! You can also send and receive gifts.
The only downside is, you can't re-sell or trade your games after you've boughten them for your account. That might be a problem for some people, but personally I think it works pretty well. Basically you need your account to play your games.
I did experience one oddity during a power/internet outage, where steam kept trying to auto-update when starting it up, and regardless of trying to cancel it, it would try and then fail. Then it would offer to run in offline mode, but then it would just close out afterwards. I think it was a VERY specific glitch, so I can't imagine it happening to everyone, but for four days I had no internet, and I couldn't play my steam games. So that was super lame. But again, probably just a rare occurrence.

Well, we had a generator running, and for whatever reason my room gets full power, so I was pretty much all set. It's just that internet was down, and for whatever reason, Steam was having some kind of issue with trying to update canceling out being able to sign in offline mode. So I had ALL THESE GAMES and I couldn't play them.

FYI, that's not a rare occurence... Sometimes when steam starts up it checks to see if there's an update, or, what you see as that Steam Updating window. If it can't find a connection then it's not able to make sure it's up to date. If it's not sure it's up to date it doesn't work offline. It's annoying as hell and has prompted several trips to a nearby store that has free wireless from my friend's house where he doesn't have internet.
