Ok so hello again SG.

Here i am yet again, with some random thoughts and stupid questions.

1: ok so i am "close" to both my 8th cake day and 5000 games gifted, wanted to reach those goals around the same time.
And i was thinking about making another one of my really big trains, any ideas what theme i can go for?
also, on a scale from 1 to Red Potatoes, how much have u missed my trains? :o

2: Will be making a bunch of whitelist and group GA's next months, so if you wanna join my whitelist, describe in a few words why the Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie of all time.
Or you can have a really cool profile :p
For those of you who are here early, there are a bunch of them going on right now.

3: what is your best gaming moment in 2021? :D
my favorite moment was completing red dead 2 for the first time, that shit was amazing!

The GA's

what u think?

View Results
giving away elden ring? you really want to make people suffer?
why isnt the napoleonic wars considered a world war?
ngl, didnt read, just want games thx
Imagine measuring in games given or dollar worth. real SG users measure in "how many potatoes could i have bought instead of this"
ok so the napoleonic wars was pretty much only europe, but what about the seven years war? that was like 5 continents
you have legit no valid reason to add a poll to this thing. wtf?
after what you just did, i think we should see other people! :|
ok cool. but who are you tho?

What is a poll anyway?

Skipping #1 and #2 since I can't say anything about that...

For #3: 2021 was kind of a boring year for me, my most hyped game turned out to be a disappointment (Forza Horizon 5). But it's also the same year I bought FH4, so maybe discovering and beating that game?

"what is your best gaming moment in 2021?"
Playing and completing Wizardry 8 for the first time. Not a genre I play often and the combat was slow, but lots of fun overall, especially once I got enough rez powders to not bother with reloading saves.

Bump!

  1. You could make a "choose your own adventure" train.
  2. I haven't seen it but it's very interesting! I added it to my watchlist.
  3. My best gaming moment in 2021 was completing Deponia's saga.

Thanks for the GAs and Happy early Cakeday ♥ :)

Lets assume a potato weights 85 grams. Most potatoes here (the Netherlands) are sold in bags of 1kg for 1,80 euro. That means 1 potato costs 1,80/(1000/85)=0,153 euro or 15,3 cents.
At this moment you spent 49.438,60 dollar worth on giveaways or 45.527,02 euro.
That means you could have bought 45.527,02/0,153= 297.562 potatoes.

I current could have only bought a mere 7.021 potatoes.

Your potatoes are a little pricy. It might be because I live where potatoes are known for being grown, but we can get a 5lb bag (2.27kg) for $2 (~1.84 euro).

1.I didn't miss your trains as I wasn't aware of your existence but if you feel like creating a train they are popular. Suggestion for a theme would be "Ocean".
2.The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies. Why it's great? Well the actors did a stellar job and it shows who are the real monsters in a prison system.
3.Best gaming moment in 2021 was the feeling of accomplishment after I finished my base in Planet Explorers.

Honestly, I don't think Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever made. But it's soooooooooo damn close. It also has one of the best endings ever too. Everything in that movie smells of quality, and I mean direction, cast, performances, costumes, dialogues, scenes, situations, characters, little details and innuendos... I think it's not as "raw" as it should be. Some things are somewhat blurred, while I think they should have been put more explicitly (not necessarily graphically).
It is definitely a 10 out of 10, a masterpiece, but since I didn't explain "why it's the greatest movie ever" I guess I'll not make it into your whitelist.
Still this has reminded me that I should watch it as it has passed quite a lot of years since the last time, I think I've watched it maybe 15 times.
And still a while until your cakeday, I hope to be around to wish you a good one!

well still gonna let you in because of that well written explanation.
And i mostly agree with it, calling it the best of all time is just something i say since its such a highly rated classic

IDK why Shawshank Redemption is so widely considered best movie of all time. Maybe some interesting answers will pop up in here, so I might as well stick around. ;) TBH I don't think that average scores are the best way to rate films, which might be the case here.

i think its a good adaptation of a really nice story, it has a lot of good elements, that when put together really makes it great.
Ofc people are free to disagree and a lot of ppl who do, come up with pretty good arguments as to why it can be overrated.

Thanks for expressing your view, I might give it yet another go. It's been a while ;) Don't get me wrong, I find it to be a really good movie. I just don't seem to get its phenomenon.

To answer your questions properly:

  1. Napoleonic world war games ;)
  2. Because it seem to be a good & uplifting (I guess) experience to a lot of peoples ;)
  3. Getting a new computer & trying to slowly catch up. :D

Thanks for the GAs & WL 💚

  1. i dont think that would be a long train xD
  2. it sure has a lot to offer.
  3. New pc is always fun, being able to run games you have not been before, or run games at a higher graphic level than before.
    so gz on new pc :D

  1. I'm new to the site so I can't comment on missing your trains but I do have a theme suggestion! Games the break the 4th wall
  2. I've never seen it, but maybe now I'll have to add it to my watch list :)
  3. Best gaming moment of 2021 was playing Assassin's Creed 2 for the first time since around when it came out and climbing up the tower for the first time to see the title sequence roll and hearing Jesper Kyd's incredible soundtrack startup. It reinvigorated my love of gaming and made me remember why I enjoyed playing games so much

Daaamn, thanks for reminding me that The Shawshank Redemption is STILL on my to-watch list! I did read the novella it's based on though :D

Best gaming moment I guess beating The Talos Principle or Nier Replicant (still have to go for the other endings)

  1. I didn't really know of you :o
  2. While not being my favourite movie, The Shawshank Redemption is a nearly flawless piece of art and it's the best movie ever because it's better than Citizen Kane
    Site note: I hope my profile is cool enough :D
  3. My best gaming moment in 2021 was either finally having been able to play Dead Cells and/or revisiting the original Half-Life in the form of the Black Mesa remake-- the nostalgia was real!

  1. kinda expected that, not really been very active past years, outside some bigger trains xD
  2. yeah, great movie, but not everyone's cup of tea, they might still like it tho. (and yeah, pretty cool)
  3. oh yeah the nostalgia of black mesa was great, still remember playing half life for the first time like 15 years ago.

  1. Some kind of story train could be cool :)
  2. I still haven’t watched Shawshank, hopefully some day i’ll get around to it :P
  3. I don’t really have a “best” moment, but 2021 was the year where i tried out a bunch of games from genres i don’t really play. Ended up finding a lot of hidden gems! :D

Thanks for the GA’s! :)

1.Trains are fun to join. 10/10 Red potatoes if thats the scale we are using.
2.Shawshank Redemption is one of the best rated movies by IMBD.

There are many reasons contributing to the rating and its lasting appeal.

  • Based off a novella by Stephen King
  • Compelling Story that gives the viewer hope even in the darkest of times
  • A true friendship and their journey in the prison system

3.Best gaming moment in 2021 was reaching Diamond rank in Legends of Runeterra.
