moonshineshadow: At least you got through all the stuff. I don't even want to know what I spent :D

CarrionCrow: Well, you've bought less personally and gifted more, I'm sure. Stacked all mine together and it was substantial. Wouldn't be surprised if yours was a bit smaller considering that.
That might be true ;-) But I still don't want to know, it is enough to look at my spreadsheet and see my total number of games and how many are not played / unfished. Thinking about the price ... Nah, I really don't want to think about it :D

ElTerprise: Hey. Have you seen that one: https://www.gog.com/forum/crypt_of_the_necrodancer/wheres_the_linux_version/post4
It's an explanation why there's no LInux of Crypt of the Necrodancer....apparently we need Galaxy on Linux first
Huh.

In that case I'm not giving them my "Bux" until Galaxy is available for "Tux".

BillyMaysFan59: Huh.

I wonder how many other Linux versions are withheld due to Galaxy not being available for LInux...

CarrionCrow: Finally got everything typed up and...well....goddamn is the first word that comes to mind.
I should be mad at you tonight. I saw you where calculating what you had spent and so I did the same. Then I compared my ratio and cash amount spent on games gifted vs games bought for myself. I never realised how much I have actually been gifting.

Tallima: As for the colour thing (Google really doesn't like me writing colour :D), I do something similar. But I assign genders to things that have no gender. Vowels are girls, consonants are boys. Y is that girlish boyish girlish.... You just can't tell. and Q. He's a ladies' man. Always got a vowel hanging off one arm.

Computer are boys. Beds are girls. Chairs are usually boys, but can be girls. Buses are boys. Most cars are girls. Trucks are boys (they hang fake testes off the trailer hitch here in the states -- do Europeans do this?). Electrical outlets are boys. Boxes are boys. Trash cans are girls. Tile floors are girls. Hardwood floors are girls. Concrete floors are boys.

I wonder if someone like me made up some of the languages with feminine and masculine words. It's weird to me. But I inherently know the genders of things without gender (but I'm also terrible at finding a cross-dressing person!).
Hello :D
We, French, do it all the time ; words have gendres. Une chaise (chair ; feminine) ; un lit (bed ; masculine). So it's normal to me :) ... you must have been French in a previous life.

Interesting, both of your examples have different genders in German. Chair is masculine and bed is neuter ;)

Hopefully it didn't take you six hours to do like it took me. I am really left-handed, so it does most of the typing. Now it's kinda non-functional.

Yeah, it's a whole other thing to see a massive list of everything connected to your account. Wouldn't be surprised if your amount spent on gifts is 4 to 6 times what your personal purchase amount is, at least.

CarrionCrow: Breaking down the numbers, it's both better and worse than expected. The number by itself is large enough to inflict initial sticker shock. Breaking it down per month, per purchase, and pitting it against the cost of buying everything at retail price takes the sting out a bit.
avatar
ElTerprise: Would you say as a result it worth doing that then?
Yes, definitely. It's better to know than not know.
I've been reminded that if I miss a sale, it's not even close to the end of the world. Typing out every entry does the trick for that quite well. It also reminds me that if I want to do things smart, I need to stick to sales as much as possible since it's the only way I've been able to accumulate what I have in the amount of time it took.

Six hours? That is a long time.

I think I will have to burn my list now so my partner can't see. The ratio is a lot bigger than I would have thought. I either need to gift less or buy more games for myself to even it out. :-)

-laughs- I got to see that too. Did a list of all items by date acquired along with all items people have been generous enough to gift to me. Put it all together and it makes for one damned big backlog.

You actually buying yourself games regularly? That'd be an event bordering on the astounding. ;)

My last name is Archambault. I am as French as an American comes. :)
