ddickinson: Hello again, everyone!
EndreWhiteMane: Slowly getting better, thanks. The ice and knee brace help.
Arthritis and too many years of squatting down to work on computers.
ddickinson: I am glad it is getting better, I will keep my fingers crossed it will heal quickly. If only Crow had agreed to put on the nurse uniform and come look after you, I bet you would be all better now. anything to avoid another bed bath. :-)
I think you missed chasing all the young nurses off the list of reasons you have a bad leg. :-)
CarrionCrow: It's not a love, it's more like a feeling of, "Well, for some reason I felt the desire to buy this. And since I spent money on it, I'm going to play it, whether it's good or bad."
Thankfully, I haven't done that very often, in the overall view of what I've got.
If I had nothing but games like Soulstorm or Planet Stronghold, I'd take up a less painful hobby.
ddickinson: At least you are playing some games you are enjoying now. I was getting worried you really did have some desire to punish yourself with bad games. :-)
I can understand your reasoning. I have a few games on my shelf that I don't really like, but I paid for them, so I will play them. Most of the games I am not keen on came from the mutator promo, as I tend to be quite careful with buying games, hence the small wishlist.
AgentBirdnest: You are definitely right. The more we bring it up, the more likely it is that someone will get offended. I tend to get a bit carried away.
ddickinson: Yeah, you are such delicate types across the pond, you get upset over the silliest things. :-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc CarrionCrow: It depends. The stuff that's a high priority to me won't be part of any weekend sale any time soon, they're too expensive, too recent.
Also, Transistor makes me think of cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is one of my absolute favorite genres.
-laughs- There's a thought. An NSA operative, using a forum mod position as a cover, all the way to the hiding in plain sight tactic of streaming games and including their own voice in the recordings.
ddickinson: It sounds like the perfect plan. Build up a rapport with the community, earn their trust, then do what ever it is the NSA does. It is always the ones you least expect, and who would suspect a covert agent hiding in plain sight. :-)
If I'd put on that nurse's uniform, Endre would be under his bed crying. -laughs-
The desire to play rather than collect makes me start bad games. Occasional self-loathing combined with the bitter joy of being intensely angry, spitting venom and tearing things to pieces makes me finish them. ;)
It's a good plan, but ultimately a bit too flashy. An NSA person would probably be someone who's engaged with the community, but just enough to get the reputation numbers to not be conspicuous.
