When the hell is 12:30 AM UTC?
Is it 12:30 or 00:30?

PS. I know that it's 00:30, just triggered by the use of AM with UTC.
UTC uses 24-hour clock.

I will say to my imagery girlfriend this: Me Tarzan you Jane. We participate. We both will be watching the show from the beginning to the end. And if we can't get our Steam Deck, then I shall yell loudly my battle cry and a big group of purple elephants will pay a visit to the Valve's headquarters trampling all the Steam Decks and the employees there. So no-one will get their Decks for a long time! like in the old movies!A jolly good ending!!! Ahem I have no desire for a new Steam Deck OLED yet. The old model is enough for me. If I want to have a new one, I will buy it - just to support Valve!

"Skill-testing question required for residents of Canada" - Man, first the price hike on the Everything Bagel at Tim Hortons and now this. Will the Canadians never catch a break?

Quoting: GuestAh, the flashbacks of not being able to sleep last year, having to sleep with the computer running...

At least I had a chance to enter, but this time, they are using Gleam. Bet they would require connecting every single kind of social media account I don't have and won't register.

Giveaways suck. Expect nothing or be disappointed.
Oh god it IS gleam.io with the tell tale "# of entries" box at the top left. Great, so I have to show them I have a twitter, instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn profile with a large amount of followers and a willingness to engage in corporate marketing on their behalf.
And because I have none of those, my entries will be both diminished AND downranked -- why issue me a reward if I'm not going to spread the word to my millions of followers?
