that's like two times cheaper than any 1TB I've seen here!

sorry about your job, btw

It's easy to forget how cheap things are in the US compared to the rest of the world. Very lucky in that regard. And I appreciate it, it'll all work out. Gives me an excuse to go back to school.

-Kickstarter backer creates a limerick to be featured on a plaque that most people won't even bother reading.
-Person on Twitter considers the poem transphobic and tells Obsidian to change it. This causes a tiny uproar, but it's honestly overreacting compared to most transphobic drivel on the Internet I've seen.
-Obsidian contacts the backer, who then submits a new poem that is less offensive. Obsidian admits that if the content had been properly vetted, it would not have been included in the game, which is exactly what should have happened in the first place to avoid all of this.
-People react to this as censorship and behave like babies extremely butthurt manchildren.

Keep in mind that all of this is over a limerick that the majority of people playing Pillars of Eternity would probably never have seen if it weren't for the controversy.

I suppose if you needed either 140 or Contraption Maker and you already bought last week's Indie HB, you're in luck.

Glad I didn't go for the upper tier. Lackluster.

For what it's worth, I agree with you. But it's probably best to let the argument die, because it's clearly not going anywhere.

I only use a 250GB SSD. I'm not wasteful like you guys.

Yes I regret it.

I think 250GB are alright. You don't have to install every single game on a SSD. Not every game benefits that much from it, also I'm just waiting it out until large SSDs get cheaper.

Only played 140 out of those. Was a nice platformer where you have to jump and move according to the rhythm of the surroundings.

La-Mulana, MirrorMoon EP and 140 are excellent games, and Outlast and Torchlight 2 are two very good games. In my opinion, for less than $6, it's a very good deal.

I don't know if there's anything different in the Super version, but I thought The Splatters on XBLA was good fun.

Any idea why Humble is telling me the average is $6.63 and not $5.97?

i *believe* your BTA depends on when you put your first dollar down. So if at the time you paid for the $1 tier the BTA was $6.63 then that's what you would have to pay to be considered beating the average.

I could and have been wrong before but i think that's the deal.

Nonono. I actually meant I only have a 250GB SSD. No other means of storage lol.

I've learnt so much from my experience. Like how to manage and save space like a fucking god. And how stupid I am for thinking 250GB of storage would be enough. I mean, my Skyrim and New Vegas combined take up more than 60GB (god bless you, graphical mods). Then GTA V will take up 60GB. That's half my storage on 3 games. I'm living the life.

If it's you increasing your initial amount, I believe they make you beat the average price from when you bought the bundle and not the current price.

So you have to pay more? That's stupid. I'd just make a new account or something.

In a way I'm glad the additions to the Humble Bundle aren't things I wanted because I'd have ended up dropping the $10 and getting Shadow Warrior too, this way I escape completely unscathed. Great bundle though, I just already have most of it.

in this case, you would be paying more than someone who is BTA today but in his/her case he'll just be paying the difference from when he/she put the dollar down, so something like 5.63. It's cheaper to just pay the difference than to create a new account to pay more in the end.

Well most people use it to lock in a lower price early, it's pretty unusual for BTA prices to go down as a whole. Us bundle addicts fiends try to find the point where it bottoms out before going back up and buy in there (usually in the first 20-30 minutes after launch). It looks like you got caught by buying in early before it dropped down and then went back up. But if you you already spent a dollar, it's still cheaper for you to raise it to your BTA than it would be to buy a whole additional bundle.

Oh that reminds me, I bought a 1TB HDD and then gave it to my dad because I was so confident I wouldn't need it.

Oh, the regret. Words cannot describe it.

They are, but they've all been super cheap or bundled before. I guess that's what we get with the proliferation of tons of bundles, though.
