well... sometimes people change for the worse or they get really mad at you...
Best to never let it get to that point u know.

Thank you for the thought-provoking thread/giveaway and all the effort put in it, to you and all those participating.

Not in, nearly out of games I could still be interested in that don't have regionally higher prices and would never cause one of those to be purchased if it's not already anyway.

But if it's an opportunity for some unsolicited advice... Do your part, even when others don't. For that matter, especially when others don't. Even if it seems to make no difference on its own, even when it means you'll end up with the short end of the stick (odd expression, isn't it?), do your part to make things right. If nothing else, because the desired outcome may well not be reached even if those who care fight, but it definitely won't be if even they don't.
And on that topic, keep your hopes and expectations in check. True, they provide motivation, but also lead to disheartenment if not met, and after a handful of doses of reality, avoiding the latter can do more to help you keep going than cultivating the former... Or, I guess, at least balance them out, in the "hope for the best but expect the worst" sense.

*looks in the mirror* Reflection appears to be ancient enough. :P It may very well be the most ancient thing I have ever laid eyes upon. Reflection now speaks: "I'm in!"

This thread makes for some interesting reading, by the way. :) So, ...what advice can I contribute?

Learn to forgive yourself, to love yourself and don't be so harsh on yourself; life will shit on you every chance it gets, so there's no need to add to that pile.

I've also personally witnessed a couple of souls being tormented by past regrets on their deathbeds. It is a heartbreaking thing to see. We all have past regrets, be it things we regret not doing or things we regret having done. We are all flawed individuals. Tell yourself you can't go back in time to rewrite a regretful chapter in the book that is your life, but you can pick up the pen and write on today's page and the pages ahead, with the power to steer the story towards something you can live with. Believe in your capacity to grow and to create!

And now that you've given yourself all that extra loving, you can spread it to those around you! And please do. Life is shorter than you think.

Reflection glares at me and asks: "How often do you follow your own advice, my dear friend?"

İ am in for giveaway.

keep me sad keep me disappointed "mr. random.org"

Oh, so you are one of them :P. Sort of. The ones I was thinking about take things to extremes. I like to be prepared much like anyone, usually, but there are days when the plan is not to have a plan. Besides, you can miss out on things in life just by wanting too much to stick to the plan box you've locked yourself into.

As Mr. Onestone said, time is relative. I'm sure some geneticist will eventually crack the code of what actually makes us perceive time at the rate we are, and we'll have a hack for that. Think Flash, but less superhuman - much like a fly drunk on caffeine :P.

I know what you mean - a lot of things go south because of neglect. But then again true friends will accept apologies any time of day and won't hold anything against you. Yes, they do exist, even if sometimes it sounds like something mythical.

I've always said other people should never influence you too much - and your advice is probably also step one if one does not want to become a hypocrite. How can you expect others to go out of their way to act right and do the right thing if you can't even pull it off yourself? If not for others, strive to be an example for yourself.

It is very true that for some people this is probably the hardest thing they'll get to do in life - forgive themselves and acknowledge they are also fallible and can do harm, even without intent.

"Mr. random.org" and its counterpart in life will certainly try to keep you sad and disappointed, but you must not let it. With realization comes peace - a bad thing happens, but you smile and say "of course, it is part of life!".

I'd like to be in for Disco Elysium.

Lemonade is good, but I like coffee better, so here's my advice for all coffee lovers: do not add sugar, milk or anything else to your coffee. It may be hard at first, but trust me, it's worth it. You'll thank me later ;)

EDIT: changed my prize of choice

I'm participating in this lemonade party or something.

Life advice is to always have a handkerchief with you. You'll never know when you'll need one.

Gaming advice is to always vote with your wallet. It does not matter how awesome a game developer or publisher is, they are still in the business of making money. Downrate and rant all you want but if you're still buying their stuff, you're part of the problem.

My chosen prize would be Baldur's Gate 3 as my brother is a fan of the game franchise. He still plays the original from time to time.

What a wonderful lemonade, OP. Congratulations.

Speaking of which:

-When life gives you lemons, google Lemon Party.

- Know thyself, chase your heart's true desire, forget everything else.

- Be healthy so you always look 10 years younger.

- Don't whine about things you can't change, nobody cares.


If I should happen to win this giveaway, I would very much like to receive Undertale because it ticks all the boxes and runs on my potato PC. Many thanks.

Number 69.

I'm in.

Advice:
The point of social media is to be social, but if you don’t say everything you think out loud, why do you want to memorialize it on the Internet?
Even if you say everything you think, well ... FILTERS.

And I solemnly swear that I will publicly declare my prize if I win.

It's also hardcore mode, sadly. I'm not a fan of hardcore Ironman modes, but hey. You get what you get, right?

Does this code need still any crack? I think every human living on Earth is connected to the rate in which the Earth turns around itself every day.

I actually like lemonade. Well, not that much, but I do put some lemon juice in my tea usually. Yet for the purposes of this thread we have canceled lemons. Yes, I'm sorry, they're all gone. Lime too.

What is this sudden urge I get to say "nice" and where is it coming from?

One might be tempted to speed-run, but you can just slow down and relax. You know, find all the secret rooms and collectables, all that.

I was referring to your bio-timerate ticker, amping you reflexes and perception of time flow. Imagine being able to go multi-kick kung-fu on that pesky mosquito that keeps buzzing around, but this time it will be the slow poke - the ultimate revenge. Or playing CS GO with all the young kids and commenting on how their twitch-shot game is lame.

Not taking advantage of opportunity, if it arises, should be result of decision not lack of it.
I am not in but I would like to thank you WinterSnowfall for the generous giveaway.

I hope they give you a call when they design life 2.0, because I like what I am hearing.

As a big fan of mountain hikes I can only second this with a heartfelt recommendation. Don't rush it, take your time and enjoy your surroundings. Earth will not always be as welcoming and beautiful as it is today (and we have our own fault in that).

A quick reminder to everyone the fates will probably end up consulting their wheel this Friday (evening). Anyone can still join our existential pondering fire with 0% lemonade until then, with a chance at the prize... prizes... I already said too much.
