Humble Bundle now redeems Steam keys directly, far more convenient than doing it by hand

Coronus

Does it communicate to Steam's servers, or just send it to the Steam client to activate?

Macha

Makes it impossible to give keys for games I already own to my brother though. And I know that it was technically against the TOS, but they knew people preferred individual keys and they must have realised there was a reason for that.

RedRiderX

@Macha Yeah, they were pretty much just turning a blind eye to it now.

I wonder how HB 4 packs will work now.

I guess they just acted as HB gifts...

Mad Scientist

@Coronus You have to log into Steam in your browser and allow it

Macha

HB 4 packs?

Also, I'm kind of concerned that as of late Humble Bundles have lost track of the DRM-free and cross-platform aspects of the earlier bundles

Seems now everything is either Windows only, or Windows+mobile, and more often that not, only on Steam

@OrigamiRobot Silly robot, you're not a donkey.

Jason Berkan

However, I'm not sure my second oldest (who is now 6) would be able to play. He's a little.... high strung.

@JasonBerkan i hear ya. the ability to sit through a game with all those little pieces and stay focused... maybe for 6th birthday

@GhostToast As well, I've found the ability to accept defeat is something you need to consider.

GhostToast

@JasonBerkan absolutely. we've been playing steve jackson's zombie dice lately. lots of defeat there.

my son is easily entertained by video games but don't like pushing those too much

angry birds, cars 2 appmates (ipad), etc

Coronus

@GhostToast I agree. I might wait until he's 6, and only that soon because it sounds like you guys play other tabletop games.

SaintWacko

He should try it again

@Yuki Guess you should play Rimworld instead

FAE

@SaintWacko I would like to as well, as I got really into it back then, but there's always that hurdle of relearning it.

I also need to upgrade my computer over the weekend. I'm still using an i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM.

Yuki

I might get a new graphics card too.

I think my motherboard can handle an i5 or i7, so I don't think I'll be replacing my motherboard.

But my wallet's going to be pretty empty after this weekend.

Ben Brocka

user15026

@FAE Teaching Assistants?

Yuki

22:42

@FAE I don't know what the actual title is, but I think it's somewhere along the line of "teaching assistant"?

FAE

@Yuki Oh hey, yeah, that would make sense now, wouldn't it.

Yuki

Yeah, I asked him to help with connecting to the database yesterday, but he still hasn't showed.

Also, I had to downgrade my JDK for this class.

Ugh.

Macha

During my first semester programming module, I was using Linux. Whatever weird teaching IDE they were using would only run if you used the newest version, which was newer than everyone else was using, and the bundled JUnit integration only worked with JUnit 4 instead of JUnit 3 like everyone else's version and a bunch of other things. Plus they insisted everything got handed up in that IDE's project format for a while, so had to use it, and keep explaining why I'd used newer JUnit and stuff.

Pretty much have to use Windows for so many of the obscure programs lecturers keep digging up though

Or you get stuff that's "cross platform" because it's written in Java, but the people who wrote it never thought there might be more to running on other platforms than just "Can execute the compiled code" so stuff saves in the wrong folders, random UI elements don't work etc.
