Hey!

This was at first meant to be just a Christmas thread, but I decided to also complain a bit.

So today I acquired my first ever smartphone. Some of you are probably wondering how could I live so long without such a device and honestly I don't know. I just did. For the last 7 years I was using my amazing, reliable and indestructible Nokia 5130 and never really felt I needed anything else. Thanks to the Polish Post it took exactly one month to deliver my new device from Netherlands to Poland. And because I live in EU and I was lucky enough that my parcel didn't avoid a customs control, I was charged with a 23% VAT and ~$1.65 tip for Polish Post, because why not. So I'm a bit late to free my Steam account from that new great feature called escrow before the Winter Sale starts, but at least I will be free before it ends.

This is where my cool story ends, as I didn't have a time to test the phone and, but I wanted to finally give you GAs links. I hope you enjoyed it though.

And finally, GIVEAWAY TRAIN
(41 stations with 2 games not on the bundle list)

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone!

Actually there are plenty parcels that avoid the customs. But mine didn't :(

Eh, shouldn't there be no VAT within EU?

Take good care of your new phone, they're not as sturdy as good old Nokia.

Happy Holidays!

There's no custom duty within EU, but VAT still applies. Unfortunately :(

You know, some smartphones are smarter than their owners :D

But don't you worry, in a few years even in our super advanced country we will start to buy more "smart fridges", "smart ovens" "smart lamps" and so on... Maybe you will be able to watch TV using your fridge. Woohoo! :D

There are plenty of things I don't like about smartphones. But I just had to have one.

I just don't like naming it "smart" :)
And of course 90% of them are not what we want them to be, but I will be happy in next 10 years I think ;)

I'd recommended not starting ;-)
Too many games are just empty microtransaction cash grabs. And even the ones who aren't can be seriously addictive, and considering you always have your smartphone with you, that's dangerous. I speak from experience :-P
Stick to your pc, the games are always better there.

I was thinking the same for most of the time. But I started to need such device for various reasons.
