Rammite

I'm super excited for non-steam game integration. For many people, that was the only serious drawback, albeit a perfectly reasonable one.   Steam Controller for stuff like Overwatch or Battlefield 4 or some other crazy stuff could be amazing.

My first instinct was to be deterred because it feels like there have been way too many of these for some reason, but I can only think of the Yogscast game. I dunno, I'm not fond of when people just insert themselves into games. Minecraft Story Mode feels the same way to me, like it's all a weird fanfiction. It's still probably a great game.

It bothers me that they'd go really deep into the references by quoting integral parts, and then mis-spell quotes left and right. You'd imagine that the text parts would be the easiest to do.

Shoot for the 25th for maximum magicalness.   If anyone might not be online on the 25th, PM me and I'll coordinate another time for you to gift, and for your santa to gift to you.

I got a Logitech G230 for $30

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/3vt13n/psa_all_postlaunch_heroes_and_maps_will_be/ barring any crazy hostile takeovers, exactly 100% of all new heroes and maps will be completely and utterly free!

that is same crazy ass level of denial and high school special snowflakeism   anyway, changing the topic: I'll be sending out the PMs shortly. Everyone has until the 25th to send your gifts. For the sake of sanity, don't actually spend any money for a week or so incase any problems arise and I need to reshuffle the giftees.

​literally the last time we talked about this it was 100% clear to literally everyone that the literal worst thing you could do is to whine about the past act like a fucking normal person and we will treat you like a normal person humanity has figured this out millenia ago

If it wasn't $20, I'd be a lot more liberal about gifting it around when it was on sale but i mean darn it that's a big price   I didn't even buy my copy, someone gave me a free copy

Okay, so far I have: Rammite Cube Cretler Guy Kayohgee Grobag Binary Moby Caveson Paero   Is that all? We had tons more last few years, cmon guys!

​Does he know his stock photos have achieved meme status ​god i hope so

​Dominion get!   A lot of the problem with me is I can't go for the hardcord board games because of our group of 5-7 board gamers, it's only me and another friend that can just sit down and strategize for some of the more tricky stuff. I also wanted Coup because my brother played it and the idea of bluffing and fuckery is so amazingly awesome. Finally, I was thinking - Why isn't there a board game that mixes a deck of cards in? It'd be one of those board games where the board is built as the game progresses like Betrayal at the House on the Hill, but each 'room' is a card from each player's hand, so you have to play around your hand and make a board that your character would thrive in.

It might be better to save the amazon wishlists for some other time, since they'd be way too much to organize. It didn't help that I organized the regular secret santa late. Maybe we could have steam secret santas in winter, and amazon secret santas in summer?

Amazon is having a huge board game sale and I want to get Dominion so badly but am unsure if it'll be worth it   A huge problem I have with board games is that my brother isn't really interested in a lot of them, but my high school friends are but we can only meet like once every two months which is a shame because i fucking love board games/card games

put a sticky note next to it saying you'll have his babies

​Welcome to advanced math classes, where teachers teach you the ABC, homework is about writing in french and tests are about translating feudal japanese into italian. ​Entirely too true, I came into uni as jovial lad with dreams of a minor in math. That flame wasn't extinguished, it was drenched in a torrent of despair and poor grades.   Speaking of poor grades, guess who probably failed his probability test? This guy! I was sick for one day and the stuff that the teacher covered during that one day - that was half the test. Fuck.

I'm cooped up in the library studying for an impossible math test, I got a paper cut this morning, my calculator is dead despite me refilling the batteries just 3 weeks ago and holy shit i hate my life my average right now is a 73, my last test was a 60 (40 raw score + 20 points scaled up because class average was so low), if I don't get at least a 60 this test, I have exactly zero chance of passing this class none of the homework questions make any sense to me and i'm literally on the verge of tears as everything crumbles around me

​I have exactly zero idea how to organize this, despite it being an infinitely better idea

i still have a fedora that i bought when i was 15 or so luckily i realized that maybe wearing it was a hideous idea

​related to this - and i post this every time someone on reddit mentions the game - I may or may not have co-authored a fully fledged BRINK fanfiction. Indeed, the single only fan fiction to grace the official forums. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1174495-refugee-journal-game/ http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1179838-refugee-journal-epilogue/ it's honestly not too bad, except for halfway through when it was clear that the story was coming to its conclusion and then everyone else pulled a naruto and decided 'fuck it we'll do a second story arc' and then time started running out so we had to abort that arc entirely by killing all the hostages and saying "OKAY EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL AHAHAH."

 You could send your gift late if there really is no other way, I guess. ​ ​Ah shit I had forgotten about those. How arbitrary.

 

Shovel Knight ran on a third of a million, then ran completely empty for almost half a year. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-08-06-shovel-knight-devs-break-down-costs-sales Total costs were determined to be $1.44 million.   Yeah, the indie character thing was a cash grab but I mean really now if you need money and people aren't giving money then what are you supposed to do?
