    *yawwwwn* Considered staying up but my brain stamina isn't back up to par (repeated migraine "hangover" perhaps), where even if I made it that far I wouldn't be in much shape to play PoE at all. My eyes are puffy and drier than sand and stuff too. So...off to bed. I expect to read all kinds of juicy first-time PoE stories when I check in again tomorrow.

    I wanted to make some joke about how America living in the past keeps me young forever, but I'm too tired to actually think of one.

    I'm not disagreeing with the idea that a lot or even a majority of backers may be located outside the US - in fact I can easily believe that - but if was a forum survey, forum posters doesn't necessarily = all backers? ..also, looks like I'm actually too sleepy tonight for the stay-up option. Decision made for me. I'll probably install the game a few hours later than release time. Which is fine/no biggie. At least I'll be rested vs. bleary from being up all night.

    (Edit: ah, didn't realize it was the pack posted earlier, I think - the thought was in the right place tho.) You gave a source credit link and certainly made it clear it was your edit, so it doesn't seem worthy of being assassinated in your sleep. But I can certainly edit your post if you wish, and will do so. I'd also like to say that there isn't a moratorium on sharing avatars/portraits etc. - but if an artist sees something and makes a request about their work, we here have to respect that.

    You might want to look at this stickied tier-to-SKU's post, perhaps that might help clear it up a bit, if I'm understanding your query correctly? http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71253-tiers-to-skus/?do=findComment&comment=1587046 The backer digital rewards will be available via the portal, but they haven't been included/put up yet, only the key-claiming.

    I like this response...something to remember/keep in mind, perhaps. Not entirely related maybe but what always gets me is when someone makes a small change to someone else's work then post it with their own watermark as if Photoshopping the color of a cape or putting "lol" text over a photo now means it's their totally original creation. The internet has become a great community place for sharing interests, but sometimes it's a two-edged sword.

    I don't know the reasons behind the changing of past expected requirement listings, but I'd agree with others that they are often a bit over-stated, in that many a bit below "minimum's" may still be able to run the game, just with low settings or resolutions and/or not the best fps numbers. As usual, PC's just have too many variables, both in hardware/drivers and software that may affect things, to make "requirements" absolute, most of the time.

    I'm a nightowl so for me it's a debate about whether to try to go to sleep much earlier than usual so I can be certain to be awake at 9am, or to stay up all night and likely pass out mid-afternoon, or just be my natural self and sleep/wake-up/install the game "whenever." Decisions, decisions...
  9. LadyCrimson
    It should be added to your Products tab around actual release.
  10. LadyCrimson
    So I can't get both a Steam and a GOG key? I gotta say, for something that presumably has a marginal cost to you of near-zero (but I spent quite a bit of money on), that's...disappointing. That would mean you'd get two copies of the game tho... ...however, if what you meant is that you're getting multiple digital copies of the game with your reward tier, I'd think you can choose the platform for each one? I don't have that so can't check, but are they listed as separate entries in your backer portal?

    Forum was loading much better today, even with 2k online, then suddenly it's lagging page-loads again...looked and almost 3500 online all of a sudden (now 4500, whee, everyone getting off work?). ...almost time to make some dinner etc.

    no offense, but if you can't figure out which poe is referenced from the context o' the post, particularly posts on the poe section o' the obsidian message boards, we suspect you have... problems. just saying. HA! Good Fun! Oh Grom, I luvs you so. ...of course it's not hard to tell which is which in context, but it can still cause that microsecond of weirdness, like any other time one sees abbreviations that mean one thing to you but are obviously meaning something else to others.
  13. LadyCrimson
    I sometimes find the PoE thing confusing too, since I've followed (and occasionally played) Path of Exile for maybe 4 years now. But they don't have a monopoly on the abbreviation.
  14. LadyCrimson
    A little, but I think PoE is a bit of a stand-alone in that regard. eg, even a little more than during a typical release.
  15. LadyCrimson
    The install part, no. It may want to briefly connect to Steam to do a verify-check, but that should be it ... unless there's a Day1 patch or something. Preload is (my understanding) a download of compressed/encrypted files/installer. It just has a date-lock on it or whatnot so it can't actually install the game until the release date and you tell it to install.
  16. LadyCrimson
    I believe that any "digital rewards" (pig, soundtrack, pdf etc) will be claimable through the backer portal site soon. They're just not there to select yet - the keys first, other things a bit later I think they've stated.
  17. LadyCrimson
    Steam preload isn't the same as installed ... it still has to uncompress/fully install the downloaded file, which occurs on release day.

    I loved Greatest American Hero when it came out.

    My usual stockpile of radioactive Diet Mt. Dew. Snacks ... nothing planned but that does remind me that it's probably beef jerky ordering time, so maybe I'll do that that for what will hopefully be a weekend binge session. *symbolic hand waving to ward off any migraines...*

    I can never get anything faster via Steam. It's like it's stuck there. Maybe its the router/lan cable hubby has me using or just Crapcast. Oh well, 20-25 minutes or so total is fast enough for me. Is it tomorrow morning yet? *rubs hands gleefully*
  22. LadyCrimson
    If it's a box etc. from one of the KS reward tiers, they have no DRM and thus need no key, you just have to wait until it's mailed to you. Retail store purchased boxes will be Steam-tied.
  23. LadyCrimson
    ^ I keep contemplating uninstalling the PreSequel, because I haven't played it since a week or two after release and I don't see myself doing so any time soon. Hubby finished it once and hasn't used it since. Not playing (sadly) but now preloading my PoE key. Yay. Stranded Deep early access updated too...maybe I'll take it for a spin for an hour to see what's up.
  24. LadyCrimson
    Had to try three times just now to generate my Steam key. ...forgot about the Wasteland game. Not sure if/when I'll get around to that so I think I'll put that one on GoG. *mumbling to herself*

    They're certainly not here to listen to my cat tales. Speaking of which, Mr. Black did this REALLY cute thing the other day and ....
