Maybe it wasn't hackers.

I thought mine was okay too, but it only goes weird if you look at account data...or a wishlist, or the Queue...

Kotaku Link.

Also Hackers are dicks.

And Valve has shut down the Steam Store for the time being.

So steam is fucked right now. If you log on everything looks fine; your user name next to community on the left is correct, and up at the top on the right it's correct. But if you click on your name and account details you see someone else's profile right now.

Not all the info is there but I can see someone else's PayPal email, and can seemingly change it. It only says the last few digits of his phone number but yeah. Heads up to anyone who uses Steam and to watch your various account details.

Thanks. Things will get better, I'm supposed to start back on work next month, at least I can do back to work training then, and I might even be moving around a bit with them as well. And like I said, I'm not in a place they will kick me out for not paying rent, and it's even been unseasonably warm this year. So while things are frustrating, there are people who have it far worse than me. It was just frustrating at the time and I don't get why she had to say it so many times.

Anger: There is a candy cane shortage in Canada. For serious. And the store was out of eggnog when I got there too.

Deadpool redband Christmas trailer

I've been off work since mid October. Bad luck of getting the flu and then getting pneumonia on top of it. I was pretty lucky that I never had to go to the hospital, and I'm living in a place that won't kick me out for missing rent for a few months. But I've gotten to the point that I've pretty much drained all my rainy day funds and when I start work my first few checks are going to go to my dad, and to pay off my credit card. My Steam wallet has more money than I do from selling cards during the holiday sale.

I'm pretty much single, and I haven't spoken to my mom in a decade, so it's just pretty much my dad I have to get anything for is my dad. I got him a little something I saw that I knew he would like and have been hiding it from him for months. He went to see his girlfriend and kids because he's going to be working pretty much straight through to New Year's Eve, so he went to see them now. They did the whole gift thing and he comes back with the thing I had gotten him.

So I go to the only place open on Christmas Even and try to use my points that I have gotten from my many, many prescriptions this year. Can't use them on branded gift cards, but you can use them on the store one, load it up and use it however. Great! Oh wait, no you can't. Okay, I'll buy something and use my points. Great but you have to use the amount exactly, before taxes. And they are tired. So if you want to use $60 worth of points, you can't use $60 of points on a $50 dollar thing. And as I said you pay tax on everything. So if you spend more than your $60 worth of points, tax adds up at 15% here.

So of course I didn't have enough on me. I thought if you use $50 worth of points that gets subtracted from the total. So then I have to play item shuffle, getting to just right to the point tier. And the whole time the cashier is calling over the aisle asking for help because she doesn't know what to do. But instead of just asking for help on how to clear something she practically screamed "She doesn't have enough." four times. And of course the lines that weren't there when I started, kept growing. And she just kept shouting it even though I know I must have looked uncomfortable. I know the people in the line were looking uncomfortable.

I don't know if she was hoping someone would be filled with Christmas cheer and fork over the four bucks I was short or what but damn. It's bad enough to have that happen on just a normal day. And it's not like she's a new cashier, she's been there a while.

So not anger, but not helping with the holiday cheer, and I had to get it out, somewhere.

My car battery keeps getting drained by all the fiddly little electronics that come with cars nowadays and I may have to buy a new one. So I have to take my car out for a drive around every day to keep the charge.

And I've been off work since mid October.

I'm grateful I have a car that I can use if I need it, but I don't have the money to keep it running to use it if I need it.

@Cirno I know I've been sick and dopped up on NyQuil a lot, lately, but I didn't think I missed a whole year.

Bio Menance is free at GoG.
Alien Breed: Impact is free at GMG.

And currently if you buy anything from Bethesda at GoG (Which everything is up to 75% off right now) you get a free copy of Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall.

I have nothing to add but this comic which isn't spoilery in any way but I forget how to do images.

@Cobaltasaurus It has indeed. And if people click my affiliate link which should go to the best of 2015 round 1 page instead of the winter sale page (Round 1 is December 18th to the 23rd) here and use the code: XMAS20-PERGMG-SVINGS They might be able to get an additional 20%% off, and I'll even get maybe a couple of bucks as well, as an affiliate. I can't promise the code will work with every purchase, but it never hurts to try.

Full disclosure I get a teeny bit of whatever you spend. I think with the conversion and the purchases that people have made so far, I've made about $4, but still! Every little bit helps, especially this time of year when I've been off sick since mid October.

@Arkandel Oh yeah, I know, i was more poking fun at myself for saying you too because of my Catholicness.

Of course I admit that I was raised kinda Catholic, so whenever I hear someone say "May the Force be with you." I answer, mentally, at least, "And also with you."

But yeah, that chart pretty much sums it up.

I usually go with a "Thanks, you too!" to whatever people mention.

Worms Forts: Under Siege is free today at GoG.

ESO IS HAVING A FREE TO PLAY WEEKEND RIGHT NOW!

Why the caps? Because they are also having a contest to win $1 million USD in real life money AND the preview weekend keys? That counts. All you have to do is make an ESO account, log in to the game and enter in the draw. Did I mention this works with the trail keys as well? You don't even have to play, just log in and he entered. (and have a lot of room on your hard drive, but that's temporary).

Seriously, chance to win a million dollars and you don't even have to buy a ticket. (If you win because I told you about this, I have a wishlist or two that has a few games on it. >.>)

@Jaded Nice! That site is definately bookmarked.

I usually just check out IndieGala when they send me a mail. The store seems about on par with the other stores, but the bundles are usually nice). And they also sometimes do give-aways too. Never posted them because, well I'm lazy and didn't feel like it, honestly.

Link works!

[sarcasm] Oh just what I always needed, another game bundle site. You shouldn't have! grumble [/sarcasm]

Double post. Not free, but cheap, if you like gambling: Holiday surprise box from Square-Enix. On sale from Dec 8th to 17th and then on Dec 18th they tell you what's inside.

Low-grade fevers. It feels like I've been sick for forever now, but come on body either put up a decent fight or don't bother at this point. Now I just feel generally meh.
