I got shown that dialog with the stupid moving cat and was told I won Fallout 76.
After that: nothing.

  • It is not in the list of won games.
  • I am pretty (not 100%) sure, I never got an email about the win
    Some kind of bug. Either the won game is somehow bugged away, or I got a wrong buggy message about a win which did not exist.

So this is supposed to be funny? Interesting.

The idea that lying about something that can normally happen is funny is pretty stupid.

Hey guys, your partners are fornicating!

Did you know it is raining?

Someone is at the door for you!

So stupid. If you don't understand what is funny, then don't try to be funny :-(

Ok, there ARE people who laugh when someone falls to the ground. They "say" they think it is funny, but they are just assholes who like it when others suffer, nothing to do with fun.

It's literally a single day in a year. Yes, you aren't supposed to take anything seriously on April 1st, because it is probably just a joke.

"Ok, there ARE people who laugh when someone falls to the ground. They "say" they think it is funny, but they are just assholes who like it when others suffer, nothing to do with fun."

It's called "Schadenfreue" in German and common here with little mishaps like falling while ice-skating. Of course only if the person is not injured. People laugh, the person who fell laughs too then about their mishap, everything is fine. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I miss the time when people were not offended about everything. πŸ™„

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes.

Sometimes the pranks are funny and sometimes they aren't. You shouldn't let it get to you, especially publicly, because then you are the butt of the joke

What I find more interesting than whether or not this is a funny Fools day prank is what happened to that Fallout 76 win. In this case I don't care either way but I think the people who make those funny Resident Evil "You should totally shoot the water" jokes should drink a canister of bleach πŸ˜„

Was there actually a bug or did you maybe just hallucinate that?
Did you maybe actually win it but it was rerolled because you did something bad in the last 30 days?

It's hard to tell because your profile is private but you do have a "criminal history" here on SG so I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible.

I think there was even a quote that went like this:

(Sheldon is talking about "coitus", instead of about "sex" like anyone else would.)
Leonard (quite annoyed): Can we please stop saying "coitus"?
Sheldon: Technically, that would be coitus interruptus.

I might be misquoting the scene, though. :D

Haven't heard that in a while. Still such a good song πŸ˜„

I'm still wondering why in The Good Place "Have you ever paid money to hear music performed by California funk rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers?" is an indicator you probably belong in the bad place. I mean personalized license plates... I totally get it πŸ˜… but the Chili Peppers?

If it was a basic bitch test sure... but in this context?

Didn't watch that series. Is it a comedy series about making the decision if someone goes to heaven or hell?

Yeeaah... kind of. Although they try really hard to avoid those terms and even at one point explicitely point out it's not christian heaven or hell because for example people from all faiths go there.

Basically it starts out with Kristen Bell waking up sitting in a very calmingly decorated office and being told by Ted Danson she died in a rather embarrassing way and was sent to The Good Place. But what nobody except her knows - it was kind of a mix-up and she doesn't belong there.

I think that gives a rough idea of the show - without spoiling too much πŸ˜…

The April 1st joke was about winning nothing.
If you really won something, then it's not there, then you got rerolled, or the win wasn't even there to begin with.

The real win message with the cat never includes the name of the game, it just says "You won a new gift". You probably either got the April fools message saying you won nothing and read it wrong (maybe Fallout76 was in the background being the next giveaway to end) or you imagined the whole thing.

iirc i didn't get happy april fool's day message, and the cat was the same, so either i was hallucinating or it was recently updated. the "you won nothing" part was still the same, though.

Like others said as well, the April Fool's day joke was saying 'you won nothing' and it was a different cat, if it states you won a game with the actual game name and the space cat, it means you actually did win something but maybe it got removed or re-rolled or whatever? Not sure, maybe a bug, who knows, but that can't have been the joke one unless you didn't pay enough attention and imagined the 'Fallout 76' part.

There is no game name in the actual win message:

That's what I am saying as well, so if he says that his said he won Fallout 76, then it wasn't the joke one from Steamgifts itself.
So either it didn't say Fallout 76 and he saw it wrong, or it wasn't the April Fool's one since those are the only 2 options.

Again: there is no game name in EITHER of the messages. Neither the April fools message nor the real one. Look at both screenshots I posted in the comment I linked for you.

so if he says that his said he won Fallout 76

... he is either imagining things or lying.

Yeah okay, the normal one also doesn't state the won game indeed.
But makes you wonder how he got to the 'you won Fallout 76' since I mean, it's so obvious that, late April Fool's day joke, a troll or a hidden giveaway that we are missing... :think:

Like I guessed in my other comment: "maybe Fallout76 was in the background being the next giveaway to end" and he misinterpreted that. Seems like the only explanation that doesn't involve actual hallucinations or plain lies. ^^

It is funny how retarded some of you are.
First, no, this dialog was not funny.
Second, your tries to hurt me do not mean I am wrong, they just mean you are assholes.
Third, why would you show everyone that you are an asshole? Are you stupid too?

When I got the notification, I also thought I won something. Then I read it and laughed, because it was funny.
