Hey fellow Steamgifters!
It's my birthday today, and to celebrate me getting older and older, I've decided to create a train from my recently bought Steam keys. Nothing amazing, really, but it's supposed to be my first one, and I know you secretly love trains beyond limits of human reason, so why the hell not?

The plan, however, came to a screeching halt yesterday evening, when I tried to enter my BundleStars account. An error message slapped me straight into the face as soon as I clicked my Order History tab. There was no way to access my keys at all. Of course, I made a ticket to customer support, but they haven't replied yet (pretty understandable, as it was Sunday evening, for God's sake - people need to stop working from time to time). Anyway, as most of the train games were purchased on BundleStars, my plan is dead and ruined. I guess support will sort the issue out eventually, and I'll have the opportunity to start the train sooner or later, but my birthday will be long forgotten by that time. Dammit!

Also, I need to have a very difficult conversation today, and it involves people I love, and possibly hurting them. No details, as it's quite personal for me, and I don't intend to showcase my private drama via a gaming site, but I'm definitely not looking forward to this.

On the other hand, I won a giveaway today. Seriously, it was an amusing coincidence to see the cat and balloons on my bithday. Made me smile really wide :)

Here, have two giveawaways instead of the train. I hope to get it going sometime in the future, but it isn't going to be a birthday train then, is it?

Oh yes, it sure sucks donkey balls. Have a lollipop, you poor little thing.
Your birthday sucks because you suck! The bitter feeling you get is well deserved and you know that very well. Now go be sad somwhere else!
But you won a giveaway! Can you imagine a better bithday gigt than that? I surely can't! Also, potatoes.
Another nonsense poll. Why do people keep making those?

Happy birthday, duder :-)

Didn't BundleStars recently revamp much of the coding to their website? I wouldn't be surprised if that might be contributing to your problem of not being able to access your order history. It was working kind of wonky for me a few days ago as well.

Good luck with your upcoming conversation with your loved ones. I'm going to assume its going to be one of those important but tough things to talk about that needs to be said one way or another. Those kinds of conversations are never easy, especially if you know someone is bound to react to it rather negatively. Have you considered writing out what you want to say? I've found that it is a good way of focusing and organizing your mind before talking, especially on important subjects.

You're upcoming train may not be a birthday train but it does have the advantage of being an anything-you-want-it-to-be train. Have some fun, create a special celebratory day, and kick-start it with a train. You never know, you might just create a new Steamgifts holiday.

I'm not really familiar with BundleStars, I mean I have an account there and bought a few thingies there, but I don't visit them frequently, so I din't notice any changes or any work on the site being in progress. You may be right though, as they made me reset my password for no apparent reason - and when I did, my orders disappeared. Some sort of coding bug, or so it seems.

As for the family talk goes, yeah, it's on an important subject - one that made my wife cry yesterday, too. Not a love affair or anything even remotely related, but still a matter that will be anything but easy to tackle. Thanks for the advice, I might try your method. Certainly may be helpful.

Happy birthday GumisK!!
Yep, I had the same problem when I tried to access my keys. In the end I managed to access to them, but some time later I was unable to reach them again. Bundlestars is pretty bugged at the moment.

Never had that problem myself, so not much I can say about it, hope that it gets fixed soon though.
