Just go to any pathway that leads to any human and then tell them what you want. Either they'll patch you through to the correct department or sometimes they can still help you. I've never worked in a call center so I might be talking rubbish but I'm pretty sure that sometimes the calls go to the same people anyway. It's just that they can put the right hat on before answering your call.

I also think the calls go to the same people.

But there's never an option at the start, to 'Speak to an actual person' - you always have to jump through so many hoops first.

Here's how you get around those annoying things.
Just keep pressing an invalid number. Eventually you'll be put through to a real person.

This is especially useful for when the dialog tree for those pre-recorded answerphone messages ends with "Get lost and go online." Which I've had.

Ahhh, good tip Dan.  Thanks.   :grin:

Also, I couldn't post this on Chrome for some reason. I'm having to use Internet Explorer. I guess Frodo was right.  (laugh)


Internet Explorer RULES!   :grin:


But yeah, I agree with the whole 'Check your spam folder' thing.  Drives me nuts.   :sealed:

Sorry for the late reply on this, Frodo, but I believe Umberto replied also on Steam, perhaps.

So, yeah, for the record in here, the original Chronicle Of Innsmouth will be available DRM-free on itch.io is what I have heard.

Wonderful, thanks.  :smiley:
#633
Oh, SWEET!  I've been looking forward to this!  :cheesy:

I'd recommend you make an update with the date on Kickstarter, though.  :wink:
#634
I know Mountains Of Madness will be DRM-free.

My pledge-level includes the original Chronicles Of Innsmouth.  Will that also be DRM-free?
#636
Sweet.  :cheesy:   I bought it on Itch.io  :grin:
#637
This looks really good!  And love the music in your trailer.  :wink:

Is the Itch.io version DRM-free?  Or do you still need steam to play it?
#638
I'd be interested in buying it as a full game for US 20 dollars.
But I wouldn't buy it on steam.  I prefer my games to be DRM-free.  :smiley:

It's a good browser 
No, it is not. It is old, outdated and has a lot of weird bugs. It's a pain to create websites that also support IE11. Companies start to evaluate what is cheaper: continue supporting IE11 or loosing IE11 users as customers. It seems that many start to think that supporting IE11 is not worth the effort.
Switch to Edge or any other modern browser.

Why would I want to switch browsers?  Internet Explorer is meant for Exploring the Internet.  It's in the name. 
And like I said, GOG is the only site that messes this up.  Every other site, including my own sites, work fine in IE11.

Why not use Internet Explorer 11?  It's a good browser, made for exploring the internet.
