ddickinson: I had avoided Soulstorm so far because of all the bad things I have heard about it, and also because it is hard to find DRM-free.
LaPtiteBete: Haha, I forgot you also have pigs... :-)
Aren't you snowed under with all your animals to take care of... ?
ddickinson: I would love some tea. I have a flask of it with me now. :-)
The pigs actually belong to a neighbouring farm, but they are getting a bit too old for it all, so we agreed to look after them if they pay the pigs keep. We used to have lots more animals than we do now (not that we don't still have lots of them :-)) - we used to have animals for slaughter. But this year we are trying to get by on just crops and use what animals we have for renewable things (like milk, eggs, wool, etc.). We still have lot's of animals though, which are very hard work, it's not much different to when we had more for slaughter. The market for meat is getting quite bad recently (no thanks to EU regulations favouring corporate farms over local run farms, and them trying to force stupid regulations on us, but I won't go into that), and so it was getting more and more expensive to keep animals for slaughter. So we decided to try things growing extra winter crops. It's a big gamble, and if it doesn't work out okay this year we will go back to keeping animals for slaughter.
CarrionCrow: -laughs- Funny you mention that. I also own all but three of them, and only one's on my list, and as a low-priority item at that.
But like you said, if someone likes such things but doesn't have a lot, they should be able to clean up pretty well.
ddickinson: What three don't you own, if you don't mind me asking? I don't own Personal Nightmare, Simon the Sorcerer 3D, and A Golden Wake. They do interest me a little, but not enough to make me buy them. I would probably not end up playing them if I did buy them, so I will wait until I have my backlog completed and then maybe see about them.
-laughs- I don't have A Golden Wake, Simon the Sorcerer 3D or the Feeble Files.
The last of the three is the one still on my list, but given that I own all the rest of the items for sale but haven't gotten into any of them yet, it (and anything else point-and-click unless it's Lucasarts) is low-priority for now.
