CarrionCrow: Good afternoon. =)

-passes over a cold beverage- Thinking it might be too late in the day for warm tea.
Thanks. I really need that. But there is no such thing as too late in the day for warm tea. Wherever did you get that idea?^^

ddickinson: 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?
That makes total sense. Who wouldn't want to spend time with you?

I'm having a nice start to the week ,yes. But it's weird that we suddenly have "summer" when all last week we were drowning in rain.

AgentBirdnest: I think I've got everyone beat. It hit 44ºC here yesterday :-)
Okay...you live in a more miserable hellhole than I do. That is saying something, seriously.

Additional - Errands are starting early. Back in a bit.

Wow!
Do you have some kind of a mega fan to cool you down? Or one of the turbines of an airplane, perhaps? :)

And to think I feel like melting with our measly 26°C. But then again I never did heat very well.
50 F and sunny.

No one asked but.....well okay I have no valid excuse for posting that. ;P

Perhaps, but we have some awesome mountains and canyons here, so it's not too miserable. Or rather, it is miserable, but with a bonus.

CarrionCrow: -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 am just trying to make a profit. Crow hugs are rare, so think of how much I can sell the IOUs for on eBay, or what I can trade for them on the trading thread. I could even split the profits with you. :-)

I can deal with cold very well, but not extreme heat. But luckily I live in a country that does not really have extremes of either.

Well if it makes sense, then GOG surly won't be doing it that way. Since when has GOG doing things that make sense. :-)

I wonder if it was a one time thing for the most part. A quick publicity stunt to get more customers. I can't see many publishers being okay giving away a free copy when they know many will buy the game again on here even on sale. Selling the game even on sale is better than giving it away for free. By not promoting it all the time, people might forget it is even there, or realist that few publishers are on board for the scheme. But who knows.

I would joke about there being many other lovely people here for my health problems to spend time with, but I would not wish any of my health stuff on any of the lovely people here. :-)

It is nice to hear you are having a good start to the week. That kind of weather patter happens quite a lot in the UK, we get sun then rain, sometimes in the same day. But we do get a nice summer now and then, and it is nice to see everything come alive with spring and summer.
Oh wow, I just got a 9 (out of 10) for my master's dissertation! That's insanely high! I can barely believe it. :D
