genkicolleen: Me, me! Oh, me! *waves hand furiously in the air* Oh wait... We're already friended~! XD

I really wish that people would add the games they're even *interested* in to their wishlists (over at Steam) -- If I can't see that they're interested, I can't give them games! ;D

superstande: Hello!
I can try add you on Steam. There are just way too many buttons and switches on that machine for me to handle :)
I also don't want to join any multiplayer, reindeers or not :P
Although, it might be fun to do something someday with people from this thread - but preferably with a working gog galaxy.

zeogold: I run a mass Steam giveaway over on another thread, but having multiple wishlists would certainly be helpful.

I'll send you my Steam info, and if anybody else would care to link me to their wishlists, it would make my job a lot more effective.

akhliber: Thanks! I just added you, and I'll look through my keys for some things to donate soon. :)
I'm in and out of sleep, so I may disappear at any moment. Just like magic! Poof!

zeogold: Oooh, boy! Another wishlist to creep on!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAAA!
...*ahem*
Thanks.

CarrionCrow: Sometimes you need that level of distance in order to process awfulness on your own, in your own way, so you can approach something resembling a working quasi-peace in your own head.

She's not feeling exactly the same as you, and you aren't feeling exactly the same on all levels as her.
Humans don't work that way. So the space to come to grips with things on your own terms can be a good thing.
The possible alternative is one or both of you feeling frustrated and powerless that you don't know the exact thing, or sequence of things, to make someone you love feel better.

It's also an indicator of the degree of care you have for each other that the distance is present at times. You don't want to cause her additional residual pain, and she's thinking the same thing.

It doesn't surprise me to hear that it feels off sometimes. Despair, misery and pain do a fantastic job of fucking up someone's head. Also, you and your wife are partners, but neither one of you have a magic wand to make those moments somehow utterly insulated from all the bullshit you're both going through.

superstande: Hi,
I don't mind your venting.
So sorry to hear life continues to be a hard struggle.
Perhaps the change of scenery will bring about positive things.
When my wife got really sick (over 2 years ago, and she's better now), it was also draining. What makes it worse, is if in the long run I have to dwell on this stuff constantly, and we can both make a routine of the misery. It was a bit like that. And I guess it sort of just can happen. I also drank, went away with my friends for a weekend, sometimes stayed half a day with my father or my brother... Anything to distract me enough and give me some joy of life, and then.... The misery was there less and less. Of course for me and my wife, nobody died, so it was just a mental struggle - but there was a time we didn't know if she was going to survive it.

I hope life will treat you and your family to something joyful very soon!
You deserve it!

toxicTom: Sorry for my french here. Had to vent a little.

EndreWhiteMane: Quick hello before work, hope everyone is OK or better today.
*hugs, waves, lotsa caffeine*

AgentBirdnest: Painkiller. It has the three "S"s: Shotguns, stake guns, and 'splosions. And I'm only at the beginning :-) It has some very satisfying violence. Which sounds a bit disturbing to say, but well... It's true :-p

Sure... uh-huh... "lemon." Just be sure to share with the rest of us ;-) I guess laughing is a good way to end the week, at least. Happy it's over? Any fun plans?

omega64: Return to Castle Wolfenstein has a very satisfying mingun, it makes people explode. :D

genkicolleen: I've been eyeing that game... Is it all about violence, or does it have a good story and exploration element to it?

Breja: Do we need to form search parties? Put our tin-foil hats on? Expect to find him in the woods a month from now with a mysterious chip in his neck?
