@ChromeSlice In truth, they're both right.

On one hand, you can point to mass media consumption as a marker for Huxley's dystopia whereas you can also point to the War on Terror and various sentiments against outsiders such as immigrants as markers for Orwell's dystopia.

Q: Star wars battlefront discount in origin- how to buy?

You may know that star wars battlefront got a 60% discount on origin. I really need to buy it before this great opportunity is gone. The problem is that I can't use paypal or visa or master card to buy the game as I'm not living in a country that is supported by them so I tried to buy a gift card...

A: Download legit copy of Fifa 16 without activation key

Assuming by "Origin" you mean the EA digital distribution client, you can just right-click the icon in your task tray, select "redeem product code" and then activate the key in there. If you don't have the client, you can download it from https://www.origin.com/en-us/download. You'll need a free...

Should we change this question to a more general "I bought an origin key on an online reseller. How do I redeem it?"

Yuuki

No.

Don't edit the question to the point where it changes the scope and intent of the original asker.

user15026

@Lazers2.0 I feel like this should be closed as it's not really about gaming....unless it's more "how do I pay for things on Origin", I guess

Nate Kerkhofs

20:27

@AshleyNunn Basically, he wants to know if there are alternatives for him to pay on Origin

user15026

@NateKerkhofs Yeah, I guess I can see that if I squint at the question

ChromeSlice

No, he doesn't realize that the activation key also entitles him to a download

He thinks you have to download the game, and then buy a separate code to activate it.

Yuuki

badp

if you really want to give them away to what might be real people -- and I kinda have doubts on the system working as advertised -- maybe try steamgifts or the likes

Nate Kerkhofs

like, one image with a black bar in front of the first and last character, and then another image with a black bar over all other characters and just the first and last character shown

Fluttershy

@ChromeSlice I commented on your answer!

badp

that is the most beautiful buzzword salad

how have you applied your human bandwidth today, @ChromeSlice?

ChromeSlice

21:36

I applied it to making burgers

and not having a bicycle pump

badp

that's a lot of value created

well done!

Fluttershy

@ChromeSlice Just beat it with your bare hands.

badp

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

has someone here been so unwise at any point to actually make such a terrible decision and litter their inventory with steam "gems"

those things are less than worthless

ChromeSlice

21:50

I don't even know what they're for

badp

when you amass ~700 or so of them you get to have a booster.

a booster typically costs 1k gems or like €.20

and, well

Fluttershy

badp

those gems are super worthless

Fluttershy

THEY WON'T STACK

badp

I HAVE SO FEW GEMS I CANNOT EVEN TRADE THEM AWAY

Tim Stone

21:56

@badp Only with stuff that was itself less than worthless

ChromeSlice

wandwars.com

this looks great

Tim Stone

Yeah, that would just be a silly conversion

badp

@TimStone all conversions are silly

Tim Stone

Not if the item is retailing for at most $0.01 profit

badp

@TimStone a gem is about $.0005 so you're throwing 95% of it away

Tim Stone

21:58

What really annoys me is the in-game items I have from that stupid sale where those were the prizes

At the bottom of the market though it's annoying to get anything sold, it'll just sit there forever

badp

@TimStone you can sell them

Tim Stone

You can't!

Oh, wait, now I can

Before it wouldn't let me sell the stupid Underpants from The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot

And I had two of them

Thank god

badp

actual store credit, the next best thing after actual cash!

Tim Stone

Finally, I can get that crap out of my inventory

badp

it's true, some booster packs are rare enough that people are trying to get away with selling them for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

however, you can't create packs for games you don't own

and even then no one is going to spend $400 on a booster pack.

Tim Stone

22:03

Hmm, booster packs for the AC: Chronicles games are 1200 gems

And I sold extras of those cards for like $0.50 a piece

badp

@TimStone which chronicles?

the pricelist there shows separately Chronicles India and Chronicles Russia

Tim Stone

All three are the same gem count, I think

And I have all of them

badp

yes, but one is $1.73, the other is $1.57

Tim Stone

Guiltiest of pleasures

badp

right

so if you made an India booster (the more valuable one), each gem would be worth $.0014

if a card normally goes for 4 gems, that puts each card at $.006

by turning them into gems as opposed to your single penny, you throw away 40% of its value

ChromeSlice

22:08

=/

Tim Stone

@badp Where are you finding stuff that only gets converted to 4 gems?

badp

@TimStone regular cards?

Tim Stone

I converted some stuff that was 80 gems vs $0.01 profit if I sold it

Hm, I don't have anything that converts to less than 10 gems

badp

I sell my shit as fast I get it so I can't look at what I used to have

Tim Stone

But I always sell cards

ChromeSlice

22:10

I have lots of cards

And a couple boosters laying around

badp

right

steamtradingcards.wikia.com/wiki/Gems_by_Game

it seems that the value is fixed regardless of market value

some things have it at 33 gems, some other things have it at 1 gem

2, 3 and 4 seem pretty popular

Tim Stone

Ah, yeah, the emoticons and backgrounds always convert for more it seems

badp

I wouldn't be suprirsed if those at 30-40 gems are the free to play games where the only way to get cards is to make microtransactions

@TimStone they are much more valuable on the market, too

...eventually

:tradingcard: sat at €.03 forever

now it's risen to €.10 because, well, there's only so many

:tradincardfoil: is at €.21 or 100 gems

100 gems are $.14 by the previous comparison

Tim Stone

@badp Usually, yeah, except for the games that have crappy ones

Like SpaceChem's >_> But those are also common so they only convert to 10 gems, which is probably still a bad deal but I'm too lazy to calculate

It still depends on someone actually buying it for the market to be the better option though, so who knows

badp

I have :smile: from BoI, €.10, :repill: from Rebirth, €.09, :loot: from TL2, €.09, and :sans: from Underatle, at €1.75

they're all 80 gems, that's $.11 for you.

ChromeSlice

22:16

deathtrash.com

Tim Stone

Yeah, I sold the :grave: from Triple Town for $0.66

No idea what the gem value was but at that going price it was obviously the dumb option :P

badp

sorting €.09, €.10 and $.11 by value is left as an exercise to the reader

Because all the games and such typically use the very specific version against which they were compiled for compatibility reasons

And will fight you to the death to keep things that way

but the direct x installer will go ahead and install all versions of directx forever.
