Do you enjoy community trains?

View Results
Yes - it's fun for all to join and be social
No - puts pressure on people to make carts and spend money
Maybe (lol) depends if I win

Yes i won Karate survivor from Alpha2749 and it's a damn good game !! Thank you Alpha2749 for Karate survivor and thank you everyone for this super impressive event !

Sorry no i've nothing left for Christmas (joke) but more seriously i just remember now that you're the Christmas train conductor, had never made the logical connection until now.

I hope to contribute to the Christmas Train as I was inactive in the Community Train due to medical issues. I was able to enter some of the final carts but I am just glad that the train appears to have been a great success!

1 of the wins(doomblade) was a hard wishlisted item(something competing with all the VN's for a wishlist slot!)

edit: won another, so at 3 total! Latest was a sidecart

Dang nice job with the 3rd. I enjoyed the spyro trilogy, I still remember playing the original and it was one game where having no glasses on was a good thing XD

I ended up getting it around 8ish years ago. I remember watching jacksepticeye play it before I did. I brought all 3 games and ended up playing them all for my mum. I actually had to play the game for real this time though as before you could use the typical playstation cheat codes to unlock all abilities so no backtracking but nope couldn't do that. However the other cheat codes like changing your colours is still a thing to experiment with

Cheating is ugly :P
I went through a period when I tried that too, when I was young I didn't understand that I was spoiling the pleasure and satisfaction for myself :D
Today I don't do it at all, it's still understandable once you've finished the game in "normal" mode, but I have so many games in stock that replaying a game just doesn't happen to me anymore :D

We actually used to own a disc full of cheat codes, I don't remember what games were on it but I know final fantasy x was. You would put that disc in, select a game and then it would basically tell you okay swap to the next and it somehow was on your game.
But now look, the steam version of ffx has built in cheats :P

Why not, but it ruins the experience. These days, unlike in the past, games have an easy mode for those who want to enjoy the story at their leisure.
In general, this makes the game easy enough and detracts less from the experience than a cheat.

Yeah when you think of some of the hard games you think of old ones, like contra, battletoads. Even the old disney games was harder.
To this day people still call mario 64 the hardest one along with I think its the 2nd one? Pretty sure its the one that originally wasn't a mario game. But I sadly never got to experience the gamecube or other consoles

The calculation of probabilities is strange, as if they are added together, in reality it is like rolling dice (like if there are 700 entries you've a 700-sided dice, and with each roll the probability resets)

a 700-sided dice

Is it still a dice when it is basically a sphere? 🤔

It actually just happens to be a VERY large dice

I suspect that it technically still is a dice but in practice it just won't work, but leave it to the math-heads and they'll probably figure out a way to make it viable.

I did some searching and found this abomination with 120 faces that seems to fit the requirements to be what we'd usually call a dice, but I assume one with 700 is possible if we're willing to accept something that looks a bit wonky.

Edit: I found a nice gif by clicking through the languages:

The thing is, Calibr3 is right. It would never stay on the side of the die without continuing to roll !

Yeah, in practice it's just weird ball, much easier to use a bunch of regular dice and some sort of algorithm to turn it into a single number.

I have sent 4 keys and there are 5 more to send once the GAs end in a bit. I won Pikuniku from FattalCZ and Wingspan from rufioh. Thank you both for the opportunity to play these games :)
I’ve been super curious about the dorkiness of Pikuniku and been recently thinking of buying board games and Wingspan was on the list. Will get to try it digitally before getting it physically!

Thanks everyone for such a great event!

I won two games from the same user haha. I was surprised by that more than anything (Velocity and Afterdream). I was playing Afterdream yesterday and it is pretty fun.

I am playing some long long games on gamepass right now so it is nice to win some games that aren't very long.

I'm at six (actually it went up to eight while I was typing!!!) so far today, and I really want to send a specific and direct thank you to each gifter on those threads, so that's where i'm doing that... but I wanted to use this space to say a big thank you to each and every gifter in the train. You always see stories of this and that here, and while I don't really feel comfortable blasting my personal stuff out on the public web, I'll say that I'm currently just two months out from one "Major life change" that is not yet positive, and THIS FREAKIN WEEK started a second "major life change" that feels incredibly negative right now. Sorta like the SG community always is, the train is an even more concentrated dose of the joy of looking at and thinking about and discussing games, and it's come at a time that is personally meaningful and comforting to me.

I was only able to make eleven carts, as I'm not in a position to buy new stuff just for the event, and maybe lots of you blew through them quickly without entering, I got a meager 104 entries on average. Heck... two great folks even blacklisted me for them! But I gave what I could, and so so many users.... hundreds? What's the count?.... did the same, and I am just so moved by that's how we come together and make something on the internet that is good. Anyway, let's go back to being macho and bro culture or whatever in a minute, but thank you all for being part of something that's wonderful.... I'm having some hard days here, and it's so nice to have something good in them. Thank you regardless of what you were able to give and regardless of whether or not it was a style I like or a "valuable" thing on somebody else's metric. I appreciate you just for showing up.

My main theory is that they find out they are blacklisted and return the favour. I can't find any logical explanations besides that.

Hm, now that's possible... I think there aren't any/many GA creators that I've BLed, usually I'll only BL someone who is lower level and appears to have stopped making GAs after achieving a level + have won more than their fair share-- like absurd CV-to-win and no GAs for a decade, level 2. Maybe I should think about getting BLs even less than I do, esp since i don't have a ton of folks on my own BL
