Ok, this was only a puzzle if you don't like reading or looking at things before you click on them. :)

There was a HuniePop giveaway behind the smiley link, https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/o0bAU/huniepop ... :) Maybe some people missed it, though... :)

And the other five giveaways each had one extraneous character:
O https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/UMWq4/Oladykiller-in-a-bind
4 https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xq4CL/4wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus
g https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/z4QLg/gobserver
0 https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/O2xKT/0conan-exiles
E https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Zqbng/Elife-is-strange-before-the-storm

Which led everyone who noticed to O4g0E i.e. https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/O4g0E/tacoma - but you didn't want that game anyway, right? Walking is for nerds, let's get back to shooting each other...


Original message:

One more Steam sale thread. Blah blah blah.

I took a look at my wishlist on the first day, but it's hard to remember why I wanted most of those games. Guess that's why they are still in my wishlist?

I'll probably buy something out of habit in a couple days, either some of the cheap stuff, or maybe something good so I can feel bad for not playing it... :)

In previous years you could check the Games Under $5 list for hidden gems, but not any more... Looking today, how many of those things are even games? And do ten renamed "UnitZ" count as ten different games, or one, or maybe zero? :)

Hmm... I was intending to try all the "Steam Awards" games I owned, since they are the good ones, right? Somehow it didn't happen. Looks like I even missed a few days of free cards, too.

Oh, I even forgot to vote for HuniePop, and after writing a review to get that stupid badge too. Oops. It's on sale in the Humble Store, but I wouldn't want to get any of that stinky bundle CV. Guess I'll have to give away the other stuff instead. Sigh. :(

Speaking of sighs, I finally installed Civ 6. Bounced off it a few times, then played some more. Mainly it feels like a Civ game, I guess?

When you're having fun in a game, have you ever taken a step back and wondered, hey, why am I playing this? If you've ever played a MMO "for real" you know what I mean... :)

Anyway, somehow Civ 6 felt just like that. I'm sure it's a good game, but I could have played Civ 2 or 4 instead, and used my money for umm, whatever.

So, as usual, this pile of words is to chase away all the lazy people and their auto-giveaway-entering scripts. Words, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, isn't there a script to solve puzzles now? I was intending to troll it the next time I made a giveaway, but forgot. Sorry.


Hey, I heard "Only A Northern Song" today. Figured I'd make some giveaways. No reason.

I found a "video" at https://vimeo.com/217614187 but perhaps it's blocked in various regions. Well, you know how the internet works, look around. Or don't, and just click on the FREE STUFF!!!

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
We just wrote them like that

Ladykiller in a Bind

If you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

And it doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say
Or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song

>observer_

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
What words I pair
Or if my hair is brown
'Cause it's only a Northern song

Conan Exiles

If you think the harmony
Is a little dull and out of key
You're correct
'Cause there's nobody there

Life is Strange: Before the Storm Deluxe Edition

And it's only there's no one there

Nothing At All? Deluxe Maybe Try Reading Edition


Hopefully I'll be too busy playing a game to read anything, so I won't bore you with yet another Steam Sale discussion. But if you have anything interesting to share, that would be nice. I'll try to remember to bump things if nobody else does. :)

Good luck! :)

If there's ever a voting thing next year, I will have to make a note to myself... :) But then I'd probably forget to read the note... :)

Thanks for LiS:BtS wishlist gib. I'm not bumping, cause that would cause more people to enter your gibs.

By the way, why so many kyu?

"What am I doing with my life?" has certainly entered my mind on more than one occasion while I'm playing a game, for sure. I mean, ultimately, it's all a rather pointless waste of time, right? My wife watches me playing manager or simulator games and says "That doesn't even look like fun. It's like a job." and it's hard to argue with that... :P

Yet, here I am, and I continue to play. It may not be a productive activity, but it helps to take my mind off of life for a little while and use different parts of my brain, and I appreciate that.

Thanks for the excellent giveaways and for your continuing generosity. I hope you have a wonderful 2018! :)

Well, as far as pointless hobbies go, it's not so bad. :) I mean, there are a lot of mindless diversions in the world, not only video games... :) A lot of people watch television, and I'd be interested to hear what benefit they think they receive from it... :) At least video games require you to do something. :)

I hope there's at least some good ones in here, but it depends on the winners... If someone's just looking for another +1, does it even matter which games I'm giving away? :)

Thank you, hope you have a good 2018 also! :)

I know how you feel with regards Civ6 cause its the same kinda feeling I have with fallout 4. Although its a new game it doesn't really feel like its progressed at all since New Vegas and yet i'm still sinking hours into it. Not sure why I am typing this as I am about to get back into playing some more fallout4 so enjoy the bump instead :-)

Aha, I hope you get at least some fun out of it... :)

On the other hand, if you're sick of playing the game, but can't bring yourself to quit, one good way to ruin a game is to exploit some glitch to make yourself overpowered, or simply cheat yourself all the best loot/upgrades/whatever. :) So I assume it would be like any Elder Scrolls game, just open the console and give yourself enough money or crafting parts or whatever you're currently trying to get. Then after you spend a few minutes running around like Superman, you're sure to get bored with it. :)

Thank you! :)

Oh, I'm just pretending to be generous, really once everyone subscribes or gives the thumbs up to my whatever I'll delete the giveaways and laugh at them. :) Or something like that. :)

I wonder if telling everyone like this will spoil everything, though...

Fortunately nobody reads comments around here, they just look for the free stuff... :) So I'm probably safe... :)

Ahh, actually I did play a bit of umm, dang it, I forgot what. Oh yeah, STEINS;GATE, a few days ago.

I keep meaning to get back in to NieR:Automata but keep not actually doing it. :( Maybe ugh, too late tonight, maybe tomorrow? Once the sale nonsense is over tomorrow I can forget about all the bargains I missed... Got some wishlist stuff, but I never sat down and went through the store looking for the hidden gems or the big bargains or whatever. Guess I saved some money that way, oh well. :)

Thank you, good 2018 to you also! :)

Wow, you really got through all the comments!

I myself grabbed hl1 anthology and fez from the money i saved and got from trading cards. Started to play fez right away as well as some previous backlog.

I did get some games on the last day, wishlist stuff plus a few cheap junk games... Oh well... :)

Just noticed I'd missed some other cheap junk games, but they will still be there in the summer... :) Or in some terrible bundle, too... :)

Hmm, Fez sounds like a fun game, but I've never tried it... :( Probably I'd need more brain or something, I'm pretty lazy with other people's puzzles... :)
