Ah, okay. It says I have 7 boosts, but 0 distance + 0 nitro so I can't click it. It seemed like people started with fuel too but maybe I was mistaken.

Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale 2019 - June 25th to July 9th | I live my life one sale at a time.
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
Oh totally, just for the minuscule amount of 300 dollars you have 10 dollar coupon. Yay.
Can I see anywhere where my "points"/"fuel" came from? I had like 25k and a friend only had like 8000 in the beginning.
He got points for Resident Evil 2 he played last the day before yesterday. I did not get anything for playing My Friend Pedro that I last played yesterday.
I just got a few points when I unlocked another achivement in Pedro but I already had like 27 achievements in the game.
It's so weird.

no
read the post again
if you spend 150 bucks you would increase the amount of points you can have possible, and if you spend them you can get five dollars off each day of the sale
Idle any game you have achievements on for 30 minutes and then you'll get points for the past achievements.
Though you have to take them all or nothing style. Like I have 11000 points in Stardew achievements but if I take them it says I have to throw away the extras.

Was that another price glitch? It costs like 8,74€ for me.
yes
but they require points which means you have to play your library
the money just increases your capacity to earn points each day that then you can spend
it's not well explained but it kind of makes sense if you sit down with it for a few minutes
it actually does kind of give you free money for past stuff
lol I had 38000 from path, I could only take 10% of it.
Thanks valve. I said fuck it, took the 10% because this meta game or wahtever the fuck it is is awful.
Any game? Not just the "Recently Played Games"?
It says "Recently Played Games (1 Available)" on my Grand Prix page and that game is My Friend Pedro.
And I only got points for the achievement I just unlocked (It says "976 points earned 1 completed").
And what do you mean by "if I take them it says I have to throw away the extras"?
Edit:
Oh and it says this below my recently played game:
"No capacity available
Upgrade your Boost Meter's capacity or wait until tomorrow to claim your points"
your capacity goes higher each day and also from purchases so if you want to get more out of it (to buy the 5 dollar coupons) you couldve waited
I have over 400 games, and I have almost a 100% achievement rate in almost all of them :_D But I've read that you need to actually install and open them. Guh, this is going to take a while.
Ehh... With that many points, he probably would have needed to spend $200+. 100 point capacity increase a day doesn't mean much.
Yeah I got like 20+ levels thought it might have been a glitch
I wonder if this is why Steam's shitting the bed. I was finally able to check my wishlist an hour and 30 minutes after the sale started. But here we are again, almost four hours later, and the site is completely worthless. I can't even read the rules to try and figure out what's going on.
Recently played means you've played for a half hour recently. That's why you idle them (or play).
"If you take them you have to throw away the extras" means any points over your daily capacity (red number) you throw away.
you have a cap on how many points you can have
the cap can be increased through days participated in the sale and spending money
if you accept points from a game and it goes over the cap they get thrown away and you can't redeem them again another day
just use sam or idlemaster or whatever the kids are using nowadays to just tell steam you're running it so you don't have to install and actually run it
I'm not going to tell you to use SAM to get achievements because that seems scummy and now that they're tied to money kind of (but I guess the cap counter acts that) but I guess in theory you could do that too
yeah but he could have squeeked out a few more hundred of the points and not wasted them!
you're right it's probably not worth it but I'm mostly just trying to make sure I've got it straight in my head honestly
Has anybody had the event actually start tracking quest completions and all that yet? It hasn't tracked anything I've done for Path of Exile today.
Damn
Wait, so they gave me too many tokens initially? There's nothing more I can abuse from this event?
Damn
Haha. There's an empty section in the FAQ at the bottom of the page where it used to ask "Wait, I have to pay to play?" because they screwed up distributing the starting token count.
I've had my one fish in Stardew Valley count for the 30 tokens, so... yes?

I still can't purchase games: I have three vouchers applied to my order, as soon as I hit the purchase button the purchase is not finalized and I can't proceed with it, the games get added to my account, can't download them, can't idle, no money are charged.
What a clusterfuck, and I don't even know how to solve it.

Lol, when was your last sale?
I miss the flash sales... They were guaranteed to be a good price.
The Steam Sales get worse and worse IMO, smaller discounts and actually having to play a random game to receive cards / discounts (Makes sense) but it personally sucks for me because I only pay attention to the sale while I am at work.
The season pass did go on sale a while ago on Steam for 50% off.
It's actually what's pissing me off as Steam is the ONLY place where the season pass has gone on sale on PC. No other site has had a discount at all.
God, these sale metagames get more confusing, and feel less like "have fun" and more like "buy shit to win (maybe)" every year. Maybe it's just me.
Is there already a good thread for overlooked smaller/indie game deals?

Was the layout of the sales always this shit? Don't even feel like browsing beyond what I have on my wishlist.
Bloodstained is 30% off on GMG if you want to dip.
Also Static Wasn't the Odyssey season pass on sale on Uplay in their Spring Sale in mid-March? I got the Gold Edition then for $33, plus I exchanged 100 points for 20% off to make it $26.40. They had tons of stuff on sale for deep discount then, and I think I saw the season pass too.
It might've been but I don't think I had the 100 points, + they charge me in Euros instead of USD because Ubisoft. So I wasn't REALLY saving that much.
90% off if you own the original game, apparently.
They are specifically designed to cater to the people who want to spend money to win this useless race.
The people who will spend literally thousands just to have the highest badge rank.
What? Where? Someone here posted a screenshot near the beginning of the sale and it's still the same "Rules of the Road".
Or what do you mean by FAQ?
