Discussion in the thread aside, JaseC is making the thread (right?), so if anything I expect it to have an informative and always up-to-date OP with links to specific posts for past updates of deals etc, making at least looking at the OP a pretty good resource for people that don't want to dig around to look for daily deals or what they missed on.

I sort of want Jase to figure out a way to incorporate Saoirse into the OP. Maybe he could photoshop pictures of her pointing out games that are on sale, like Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune or something dumb like that.

well had my friend have a shot at fixing my mouse, but that thing is most definitely broken

i feel like the universe has against me and my computer, so taking bets now

Guess those lingering thoughts, or wanting to discuss and realizing you're just going to be shot down with the ideas you have.
that's kind of dumb i think. like, you're never gonna get a good conversation from a big community, debate is usually better fit for smaller groups so like you can talk it out with other like-thinking fans or maybe your friends or whatever

but caring too much what the community as a whole thinks is kind of useless, i kind of suffer it all the time reading league reddit and watching ppl complain all day long is just depressing

Am I the only one completely tired of the whole "Lord Gaben" bullshit? Not only do I not find it funny but it gets really weird.

Don't go into the "tvshow with one image" thread. Folks are straight up posting (arguably) massive spoilers and not giving a fuck. I may have. The world is dark.
 
Nice to see the new refund policy is already being changed on the fly (now there is a 6 month window implemented and if the product was purchased/gifted outside of that window, you can't even request a refund).

Also nice to know that Steam support is still the most loathsome abysmal entity in customer service. I've had Time Warner Cable pay more attention to support tickets and treat me better. The least they can do is take the time to *READ* the support request before dumping generic boilerplate for the issue into a reply and hitting submit.

My signed poster by Gaben says otherwise!

Wouldnt that lead to even more exploiting? I mean in 6 month you can just buy it, regret that you paid maybe 20€ for it when you havent even played it, see it in a sale for 5€ and then ask for a refund...
 
I hope this summer's Alan Wake sale is better than last summer's Alan Wake sale. If I can't buy Alan wake four different ways at the same time then I might as well start migrating my library over to Origin.
 
I just settled with the idea that most of those folks are youngsters riding the meme-bandwagon.

Makes me sleep better at night.

I am kinda sure its mostly new pc gamers. I am also sure that new PC gamers are what started the Master-Race thing after they somehow instantly knew how much better PC gaming is when it comes to multititles.

For every good experience I`ve had with Steam (their compliance department was very responsive and prompt when it came to telling me what I needed to submit for tax purposes), there`s one that is just as dumb (for instance, them refusing to admit that they charged my credit card twice for Steam wallet credit and telling Paypal the same thing).

How come you are scared of the spiders?
for as long as i can remember, i just am. no particular reason, although it runs in my family to have phobias (most of my dad's family's afraid of roaches, most of my mom's afraid of cats, there's a bunch of other weirdness, my brother has his own similar issues too with diseases and blood and stuff...). in my case it's specially spiders and roaches, although most insects have at least an effect on me too. i'm also not a fan of rats, i'm weird around pidgeons (lol) and some other dumb stuff (like public speaking and shit).

and got bullied about it a bunch when i was a kid and didn't do nearly enough like therapy and crap to help me deal with it so with time it just got much worse

it's not really that bad outside of like not ever being comfortable about closing your eyes when someone asks you (cos i'm paranoid and i think they'll try to scare me somehow), or just going into "alert mode" (as i call it which is essentially having like sudden anxiety and stress) when you're watching a movie and ppl are going into an old basement or something, or just getting startled over things in the corner of your eye, like my own hair.

and obviously not being able to play old games that are favorites of mine like resident evil 2 and thief because i didn't fear virtual spiders back in the day as much as i do now

but yeah, no reason, the way i explain it is like my brain's busted in a way that the wire in my brain that connects "spider" with "step on" is actually connected to "panic" or whatever by mistake. it's just like a chemical reaction, i don't really "fear" spiders in that i think they're gonna come out of the screen and kill me, my brain just sees the image and reacts like that because it's kind of broken
 
New Vegas question: I hit the point of no return and I'm going for an independent Vegas because fuck everyone's noise around here. Yes Man tells me I need to go to fortification hill to upgrade my robot army...didn't I do that already? Or is this for a complete new upgrade?

Also, what's the right order to tackle the dlc now that I'm wrapping things up?

That bloodline trait is a bummer.

In some alternate reality, your bloodline trait is the sharingan.

probably not, i think that's like the last quest in his line

Also, what's the right order to tackle the dlc now that I'm wrapping things up?
yes, perfect time

it is

it's not really a like genes inherited thing but more like a family culture thing

the way i see it is that if you're growing up watching your parents react to things they fear by avoiding it rather than confronting it you kind of develop similar traits.

my step brother has the same fear of roaches my dad has for instance

i hope my baby brother gets some courage from his mom and doesn't have to deal with this crap

I'll be sure to spoiler tag my spider Steam screenshots this time. :p

appreciated

Going through my queue today, found an interesting EA game.



Little city builder with an interesting art style. Definitely added to my wishlist to check out later.

So just to be clear: i would need to go to fortification hill just once in an independent Vegas playthrough? Because it was easy the first time since I was neutral with Legion but if I have to go back it's going to be a hell of a mess lol
