| 01:21 | <@Alek> | once you've got the cards that drop from your games (those that have them), you can once in a blue moon get a booster pack, containing 3 cards for a random game you own. which you can either open, or try to sell by itself - sometimes it's more profitable to sell the pack itself. |
| 01:21 | <@Alek> | it is so because a pack can randomly contain a foil card, which is more valuable. |
| 01:21 | <@Alek> | you can also randomly get a foil instead of regular from the basic game drops, too. |
| 01:22 | <@celticminstrel> | I got one of those. |
| 01:23 | <@Alek> | they add up to a DIFFERENT badge for the same game. |
| 01:24 | <@Alek> | they're also much rarer. |
| 01:24 | <@Alek> | so usually you'll just want to sell it. it'll bring in nice cash you can buy several regular cards with. |
| 01:25 | <@Alek> | but it's up to you, really. |
| 01:28 | <@celticminstrel> | That's what I did just now. It went pretty fast, too. |
| 01:36 | <@Alek> | they often do. especially around special events. |
| 01:37 | <&McMartin> | There's something wonky with the RNGs though |
| 01:37 | <&McMartin> | I've never seen a foil, but I've been getting boost packs left and right |
| 01:38 | <@Alek> | I've gotten one foil, and 3 or 4 boosters, since the trading cards debuted. |
| 01:38 | <@Alek> | the thing is, foils are uber rare. boosters aren't as rare, once you've gotten cards for all the games you own. |
| 01:39 | <@Alek> | and as long as you keep signed in and open the client at least once a week. |
| 01:40 | <@celticminstrel> | I keep the client open and signed in at all times. |
| 01:40 | <@celticminstrel> | Except when connection fails and the client doesn't reconnect afterwards, I guess. |
| 01:41 | <@Alek> | I keep it signed in, but only open it every once in a while. |
| 01:42 | <@celticminstrel> | I think that's only possible in Windows, I'm generally signed in on Mac. |

| 22:42 | | * Derakon eyes that article. |
| 22:42 | <&Derakon> | "People complain that the collision detection is bad. But it's pixel-perfect! That's good! It's just that users don't expect pixel-perfect collision detection." |
| 22:43 | <&Derakon> | So the author is technically correct that this isn't a bug. It's a misfeature. Both need to be fixed. |
