OK thanks. Good to know it's not just me. I still find it strange that purchasing Steam Wallet funds goes through but not the games directly, using the same card. I wonder if Steam uses two different accounts for these two things and one of them is blocked for wathever reason. But yeah, maybe I should stop buying fuckign games lol.

My bank flags Nintendo as fraudulent every single goddamn time. I've been paying with the same card for like 6 years.

you should never, ever, ever use a direct credit card or paypal for steam, PSN, xbox, nintendo, etc. two reasons

1 - if your account is hacked (you are an old fuck, chances are getting higher every year) someone can charge insane amounts and fuck you over
2 - if you EVER do a chargeback on any of these digital platforms your account can get perma-banned/shutdown. happens all the time

i only load in wallet money (which you can buy at discounts everywhere) and it also prevents me from overbuying, i have like $1200 on my steam account and i've spent maybe $10 in the past 3 years on games there. psn/nintendo also limit your wallet size as another safety check. family knows not to buy me useless shit i don't want for birthdays, just give me steam/PSN credit.

i have that much loaded on my steam because for years you could get monthly free $10 from gamestop for being pro, i have it saved for the next steam deck.

gamestop - 5% off in store, can use trade credit (trade in console games, controllers, etc)
sams club has them 5% off in store around me i think (never bought)
target, dollar general, grocery stores, 7/11, etc usually run 5-10% sales every few weeks on psn/xbox/steam/nintendo

those are all legit places, there are plenty of shady sites like g2a etc that sell discounted steam cards but since they are usually acquired by scamming older people or retards i stay away. its very common for pajeets to convince someone the IRS is after them and the only way to avoid it is to send $500 in steam or itunes gift cards

Played Schedule 1 for hours yesterday and did not notice the clock was 2am.

Stupid tired today at work but all I think of is going back home to expand my drug empire lol.

Its really fun and more than I expected. And I have just started. Will be able to buy my house today I think to expand the merchandise!

Saw this picture on their reddit.

Also, 400k players so far.

Is Schedule 1 like that Drug Wars game we used to play on BBS back in 1996 or whatever?

I'm generally hesitant about console game remasters being ported to PC but I haven't had my PS2 or library in ages. I am only on the first title so I can't attest to the optimization of the sequels but it runs smooth so far and the soundtrack still slaps.

I went ahead and bought the bundle for $11. Apparently, none of these were ever in my Steam library. Oops.
