Hello, everyone!

*extra big return hug*
Happy Monday. And hopefully - happy summer sale day (?) :-)
By the way - thanks for sharing the lovely pics of the convention. Those were some really cool costumes! ô__ô (and a cool con hat!! ^^) Looked like it must have been fun :-)

Hello, Agent!

I hate to be the pessimist here, but I don't think the summer sale will start today. I think it'll start tomorrow or Wednesday. Of course, GOG can feel free to prove me wrong.^^

Yep, the convention was a lot of fun. And some of the best costumes are even missing from those pictures (fully functional Transformers, anyone?). There was an oversaturation of Harley Quinns though.

Since my chat is finally working again, I replied via chat rather than on the thread.

Hm... fair prediction. The missing Staff Picks don't necessarily mean that the sale will be today. It could be tomorrow or Wednesday (I think that is how it worked for the Winter sale? No staff picks, and the sale started on Wednesday, if I remember right.)

Functional Transformers? ô__ô Amazing. I've never had the motivation/inspiration/passion/all that stuff to make a cool costume. I'm always impressed by those who do :-)

Edit : I'll be the optimist, and say that whenever the sale does start, I think it will kick off with some big classic releases. Maybe some missing Bethesda games, or Call of Duty, or Bioshock or something :-)

akhliber: Mornin', and thanks! Usually, when we're told "a hurricane is about to hit us!" it really means "a hurricane is about to pass us by and head to the Carolinas!" but whatever it should mean, I hope all stay safe. We've got our emergency water supply, with some extra for breaking out watercolors if we're long enough without power that we're starving for things to do. I'll likely just game when there's power and read / play with Sarge when there isn't. He doesn't seem to mind this storm half as much as the last one... growing up, I suppose. :)
Sounds like you've got a plan, that's good to hear.
Hopefully you don't lose power, though. That always sucks.

Hello, DD!

*extra-big welcome back hug*

I really wished your health problems would show some decency and just go away.

just a quick pop in
-waves back- Good morning. =) Happy to hear things are going better for you, I hope they keep on improving.

ddickinson: I intend to, and now I just need to get rid of this cough as well as it hurts a lot every time I cough. Does a cough and lung scarring get me a hug, just for future reference? :-)

I think the highest I have seen here is about 35C, with the south of England being about 38C. But often the highest we get are high 20s or very low 30s, so not too bad compared to other countries.

We might get a few new releases as well, so maybe you will find something new you really want.
If anything, more hugs sound like they'd just be painful for you with everything else you're dealing with.

That's not bad. The less a person has to slowly roast to death, the better. ;)

Possibly. Not getting my hopes up, but it might happen.

superstande: Yeah, it is :) ... There's also another similar game from the same Stardock, Fallen Enchantress... Not sure if it's any good, but it's now wislisted :)
avatar
CarrionCrow: Whenever you get to that point, I'd also be interesting in hearing your thoughts on Fallen Enchantress. Have gone back and forth on buying it.
Another famously (notoriously?) late reply ;)
Yeah, I'll buy it if it comes on gog summer sale, so sure, I can write some review here. Some goggers wrote the newer Sorcerer King was too simple and Fallen Enchantress was a good game... but I've been happy with SK :) Might be one of those games - some love, some hate :)

I had lots of inspiration, just lacking in the motivation department. And I'm all fingers and thumbs, that might also be a problem.

-laughs- That doesn't bother me, no worries.

From what the people said, it sounds like it could be the usual "this is too much of a learning curve" versus "this is dumbed down" argument.

Good afternoon. =)

-passes over a cold beverage- Thinking it might be too late in the day for warm tea.

Thank you. I guess I am just so cute and adorable that they don't want to leave me alone. :-)

Are you having a nice start to the week?

No one said the hugs had to be done now, you could give out hug IOUs for future redeeming. :-)

I don't think I would do well where you are. I don't mind nice sunny days, but I am not a fan of overly hot days.

I wonder if the sale will start once the Connect stuff is over with. So is this connect going to be a featured sale often, or will the page of available games update for the Steam users in the background and it will be up to users to check?

-laughs- You've put more thought into it than I have.

I don't do well with it, and I've been here for a while. It's just shitty in general, thoroughly unpleasant unless your idea of a good time involves heat stroke and the slow onset of skin cancer.

To me, it makes more sense to go now. I thought the Connect time limit was ending when the sale did, but with the extra time they can still get more exposure for everything all at once.
Beyond that, it seems a better idea to get the frenzy going, rather than having people waiting impatiently.
Also, extra expenses have a bad habit of popping up at inopportune moments. Better to strike fast to get as much coin as possible from the customers.

I don't think it'll be a sale every time. That's probably to help promote the start of the program.
When they get more companies involved, they'll put it up on the site, then give people a certain amount of time to do the additions of their rental games, like they're doing now.
I think I've got everyone beat. It hit 44ºC here yesterday :-)
