You have made history.

Just like the 10,000 BTC pizza, you'll be the one that bought bitcoins for "only" $380 on a bitcoin vehicle.

Hard fork: allow 20MB blocks after 1 March 2016 · gavinandresen/bitcoin-git@5f46da2 by g2948855 in Bitcoin

Absolutely. There is enough time for sufficient discussion. Let's hash balance sheets and allow for trustless SPV - you can run a full node with 25MB of storage space with this patch. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505.0

Yeah, but don't show players who were not decided to be hacking.

At my current rate of 100pts per 20 games it is actually impossible to earn level 250 before TI without predictions, payment, or risk of health. by DevMicco in DotA2

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The points you earn from achievements is not disclosed. Levelling up your compendium from fun tasks you do while playing has always been a part of the compendium, and the $27 option describes itself as a head start - by most definitions it is assumed to be something that you CAN do for free.

Sorry, but I think my position's merit is pretty clear and reasonable. Even if valve flat out declares you will not level up the compendium without paying, there are still grounds for complaints because this is a worse experience than last year. This is not commodities pricing where "take it or leave it" is standard - Dota is in the service industry.

Yet Another (Yes Another!) VAC wave by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]goldcakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably because gaming in general is more a past time instead of anything competitive, csgo comp mode or not. Now if someone cheated in a tournament with cash prizes that's a different story, but if someone hacks without blatantly doing it to piss people off I wouldn't care.

Also, quite simply a lot more people hack than dope in sports or whatever. And if I ask a friend, "are you hacking? And they lie to me, tissues a different story. But I don't see casual hacking in games we pay together deceit.

The compendium is $10 and the promotional materials mentions all the cool stuff you get for levelling up, but they do not mention the difficulty in doing so without paying.

How do you guys feel about the current trend of saving? by XunOnline in Games

"They" is more ambiguous than desired, it could mean 'he/she' or multiple people.

It's sad that it's 2015 and we don't have a commonly used gender neutral pronoun that's short.

Maybe it's time to remove this notification on the warmup? It's only being used for advertisement these days. by hipsterkatten in GlobalOffensive

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say every day 25 people buy a gift due to this banner.

Let's say every day x people see the banner, and become slightly annoyed at it and spend $y less money on Steam / skins / etc in the future.

If x*y > 25, Volvo would make money.

Grand Theft Auto V PC Previews by Pluwo4 in Games

I hope you're being sarcastic. Keep mods and hacks out of Online, but don't prohibit modding for the single player. Look at what modders did to Skyrim - imagine what they can do to GTA V!

GTA V - All Graphics Options for PC by paischu in Games

[–]goldcakes 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Lovely. Now I hope these settings scale down to low end hardware. After all, GTA V runs on the last gen consoles with 512MB combined RAM. I'm not expecting GTA V to run on PC with specs of last gen consoles, but please make low-end hardware playable.

Something weird is going on by bdarmstrong in Bitcoin

I'm sorry, I have been using BTC-e for the past 3 years without a single issue.

The company CHOSE to operate under US law. We don't have to give them a free pass for it. The world is not the US, and if you play your cards right (ie: have connections) you can do whatever the fuck you want in [insert east-european country]. Just look at BTC-e.
