In Windows, u need to click on Start, to shutdown.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

What a greedy fucker. Clearly Scar was a hero to fight against such tyranny.

Speaking of the poll, the point is null because so far only one person voted for it and I doubt it will get more votes, but Syberia was removed from the GA list because of the free keys given away. There's still the option to give away the pack that includes the sequel.

Is there a time limit or something? I'm tired so I'll just write something tomorrow.
For now, here's an old poem I wrote for school some time ago that defiantly needs revising.
I was like an asteroid when I fell, I destroyed everything around me.
But you still stayed with me.
You, who carried my problems on your back like a stubborn mule during our long journey together.
You tried to be my everything. When I was tired you were my coffee; when sick, my medicine. When I
was hurt, you were my surgery.
But when I was sad, you were insignificant, like a fly trying to eat my food.
Like Mother Teresa you gave, for nothing in return.
But you had no God, no reason to help me.
You were like a rainforest that I kept cutting down until there was nothing left.
And now there is nothing left. I turned you into the same empty shell that I am.
You were the brightest star and I turned you into a black hole.
For that, I would like to say, I’m sorry.

Thank you. I got an invite so I guess that was good enough to gt in the giveaway, but still, I wanna write something just for this. I'm too tired now though, so goodnight.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the poem.
I also have this one, but you might've seen it already.
The calm blue falls in love with the sailor,
He takes all he wants sensing no danger.
The sea grows jealous, he never cared or
Provided, now waves swell with her anger.
The sorry man falls in with a loud splash.
Tonight the deep, dark blue decides to take.
His craft rips apart, as the waves crash,
This once was his own obedient lake.
The ocean pulls her lover close,
He's trapped under the waves like they're rubble.
He can't reach any air with his mouth or nose.
He sees his life fly past in a bubble.
The sailor takes a breath, he knows he's done.
And the jealous blue mistress knows she's won.

I did read this one before, with great pleasure! So I reread it again a couple of times when you sent me again.
You have such a great writing style, and I like the story behind your poem, and how it rhymes so nicely.
Thank you for writing it!

If you tell someone you want them to do whatever they want, they're technically doing what you want since they're picking what they want which is what you wanted. Aren't paradoxes fun?

Just in case you don't know, you can invite my bot to your friend list and talk with him anytime you want.
It's plain stupid and there is much to improve, but I'm having fun with it when I'm bored. Sometimes it can even make me laugh :3.

Life is about balance. Don't use too much lube; a complete absence of friction isn't pleasurable either.

Beware: This is copy pasted. But I love this because it is such a nice explanation about why the speed of light can never be broken.
"Everything, by nature of simply existing, is "moving" at the speed of light (which really has nothing to do with light: more on that later). Yes, that does include you.
Our understanding of the universe is that the way that we perceive space and time as separate things is, to be frank, wrong. They aren't separate: the universe is made of "spacetime," all one word. A year and a lightyear describe different things in our day to day lives, but from a physicist's point of view, they're actually the exact same thing (depending on what kind of physics you're doing).
In our day to day lives, we define motion as a distance traveled over some amount of time. However, if distances and intervals of time are the exact same thing, that suddenly becomes completely meaningless. "I traveled one foot for every foot that I traveled" is an absolutely absurd statement!
The way it works is that everything in the universe travels through spacetime at some speed which I'll call "c" for the sake of brevity.
Remember, motion in spacetime is meaningless, so it makes sense that nothing could be "faster" or "slower" through spacetime than anything else. Everybody and everything travels at one foot per foot, that's just... how it works.
Obviously, though, things do seem to have different speeds. The reason that happens is that time and space are orthogonal, which is sort of a fancy term for "at right angles to each other." North and east, for example, are orthogonal: you can travel as far as you want directly to the north, but it's not going to affect where you are in terms of east/west at all.
Just like how you can travel north without traveling east, you can travel through time without it affecting where you are in space. Conversely, you can travel through space without it affecting where you are in time.
You're (presumably) sitting in your chair right now, which means you're not traveling through space at all. Since you have to travel through spacetime at c (speed of light), though, that means all of your motion is through time.
By the way, this is why time dilation happens: something that's moving very fast relative to you is moving through space, but since they can only travel through spacetime at c, they have to be moving more slowly through time to compensate (from your point of view).
Light, on the other hand, doesn't travel through time at all. The reason it doesn't is somewhat complicated, but it has to do with the fact that it has no mass.
Something that isn't moving that has mass can have energy: that's what E = mc2 means. Light has no mass, but it does have energy. If we plug the mass of light into E=mc2, we get 0, which makes no sense because light has energy. Hence, light can never be stationary.
Not only that, but light can never be stationary from anybody's perspective. Since, like everything else, it travels at c through spacetime, that means all of its "spacetime speed" must be through space, and none of it is through time.
So, light travels at c. Not at all by coincidence, you'll often hear c referred to as the "speed of light in a vacuum." Really, though, it's the speed that everything travels at, and it happens to be the speed that light travels through space at because it has no mass.
By the way, this also covers the common ELI5 question of why nothing can ever travel faster than light, and why things with mass cannot travel at the speed of light. Since everything moves through spacetime at c, nothing can ever exceed it (and no, traveling backwards in time would not fix that). Also, things with mass can always be "stationary" from someone's perspective (like their own), so they always have to move through time at least a little bit, meaning they can never travel through space as fast as light does. They'd have to travel through spacetime faster than c to do that, which, again, is not possible."

Yes, I already knew that and use it daily for many years.
Want a couple of really arcane ones? Try to press Ctrl+NumPadPlus in table view (e.g. Windows Explorer displaying a folder in Detail view), and try to press Ctrl+C when there a dialog box open with an error message :-)
Anyway, you shared some nice non-bundled games recently, so I sent you an invite to the group.

When you have too few games, you feel boredom.
When you have too many games, you feel another boredom.
Happiness is between them.

i would write something about me, but there's nothing interesting or helpful. well, maybe helpful as in don't-be-like-me. yeah, avoid that at all costs. also, i'm not too smart so i don't have anything insighful to say. i'm here just farming points to enter more giveaways and try to get free games. another reason is to spam the forums with gifs and (now thanks to the teachings of my sensei mecorx) use youtube songs to say useless stuff that noone understands (i wonder if people even open those links, oh well). takes a break to drink tea i wanna give my thanks to justarchi for pointing out there was a planetary annihilation option in the poll, i'm so blind i didn't even spot that. is someone still reading this wall of nonsense text? i'm currently listening to my favorite song from man of steel soundtrack, that's "what are you going to do when you are not saving the world", longest title ever, eh, and extra cool too. lots of drums, bam, bam! hey, you. yes, you! remember to check the puzzleception by mecorx, there are some nice ga-s buring under all those songs. don't be lazy. well well, it's 5:20am and i think i should go to bed now. i should also repair the enter key which i broke while typing this, so no paraghraphs for you. ok, i'll shut up now (after a gif) maybe. ok (don't blacklist me too much, please). bai
Comment has been collapsed.
i'll give you some tips.
don't look for pieces of a URL, there's none.
listen to the first word on each song (sometimes just the first few words).
check mecorx's past threads (from a few days ago, don't go back weeks...), complete the itstohard puzzles.
try making a "map" of what you are deciphering/finding so far, it helps a lot.
hope that helps. :3

[Giveaway Ended]
The rules are simple: Write something interesting, insightful or helpful and I'll send you a link add you to a temporary Steam group for this giveaway. No copy paste jobs please. Be creative, be original. Something more elaborate and thoughtful than a 1-liner would increase the chances of being invited. You can write about your hobby, art, technology or anything else - as long as it does not break the rules of the forum. You also have to be at least Level 1. The time limit is next Sunday (Aug 16) at midnight CET.
If you meet the above criteria you will be included in a temporary group for this giveaway, and if your ratio is not terrible I will also add you to my whitelist, most likely permanently.
Don't forget to vote for the game you wish to be in the giveaway. Majority rules, so it may not be the one that you chose. I hope in the future SG adds an option to add a list of games to a giveaway and let the winner select one.
Edit: Thanks for writing something interesting, insightful or helpful. The winning game voted by the majority of users is the Just Cause Collection (consisting of the first two games in the series). To those of who don't have it, you now have (almost) a day to join the giveaway:
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/CIpsu/just-cause-collection
May the best man or woman win!
