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! :)

BUMP:)!
And yes, it's very hard to find some interesting games under $5 from the official list. Even when I check my recommendations from Steam, there's so many bad games and that's quite... sad.

Probably due to all the random crap that's already in my library, a lot of my queue suggestions say "This product is in your discovery queue just to see if you might be interested." Which sounds like a punt to me... :)

Hope you can find some good stuff buried in that pile... :) Thank you! :)

I didn't feel like it but I'm bumping anyway. Also what kind of monster hates funny gifs? or is it funny bump gifs? Have this boring gif instead then, if you find it funny you saw it wrong. That's not a "me" problem that's a "you" problem!

Oh, I don't hate them, just hoping to get something different... :)

You know how if you're learning to do something, maybe there is a point where ok, yes, that works, but now do it like this instead. But I'm not the gif police, do whatever you like best... :)

Thank you! :)

No wall of text will ever chase me away ;>... the older I get, the less time I have for playing video games it seems and even if I find some, I weirdly catch myself playing the same games over and over, although I have a lot of nice games in my backlog I'm really eager to play... who knows, guess my mind is stuck in its ways or I simply just need some serious vacation time :D. Anyway, I hope that this year I can change this habit and foremost can find some time to finally emerge myself enough to play some of the new games from last year, because what I'd hate the most is finding myself rushing through a game just to get to the 100%, I paid way too much for all these games to turn them into fast food.

Happy new year :>.

I think we could all use a nice long vacation, these games aren't going to play themselves... :)

Here's hoping you discover some fun new stuff that maybe you forgot buying! :)

Thank you! :) Hope you have a good 2018! :)

I fully agree about Civ 6. Hopefully the expansions can turn it around though.

Bump! I enjoyed the Civ series. It is a bit like variation of a theme in music. It looks familiar, yet is different. I usually hold back till there is a more or less complete version on sale. Maybe next year?
