Fuk me. You people are hillarious.
A huge chunk of my focus is on holding back the years. Exercise, diet, restraint. It aint easy, and I fail a lot. The humor here hits home. - Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 14 hours ago:
I like Steam enough that I haven’t bothered with any other platform.
I do hear good things about those other platforms, (maybe they are cheaper, and maybe they support old games better?) But all my games are in one spot on steam, and its simpler for me to keep it that way.It does seem that there are people really outraged by the news story. I don’t entirely understand, other than people like to get upset about things. Being outraged is engaging and takes your mind off of whatever else is bothering you.

Thanks. I’ve kept it installed. I’ll pick it up.
I did the same with Obduction, and Stray too, now that I think of it. Yup, and with Talos.
Puzzle games have to grab me. But I can be grabbed. I finished the first two. I sure worked on Talos, but I got tired and just watched the end on youtube. - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 15 hours ago:
Fuk ya man. DOOM will never die. I still open up DOOM 2016 and play that first level on arcade nightmare, just to get a kick.
I’ve got a folder of all the D1 and D2 standard and freedoom wads. I copy it onto any new linux machine, and I install Boom or whatever.
I have a project that I keep picking up and abandoning for a DOOM OS. Its purpose would be to spin up on a vm, search for a local game, and join a bot to a deathmatch. Each vm would add to the load on the server. How many vms can it run? That’s the DOOM quotient. But I’m not very serious about it.

19 years. And the only bad part was Ubi. That’s it.
Honestly, with a record like that, why would I care that Steam has had games removed?
And, it occurs to me, in 19 years, how could they not have had games removed? - Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 18 hours ago:
Steam has proven to be a far, far, far more capable and stable repository for my games that I could be … since May 2006. I got Steam because that’s how you bought Half Life 2.
Ya know what? I can still play Half Life 2. I’ve never had the slightest problem accessing any Steam game other than Ubisoft crap, and now I don’t buy Ubi.
Add it up, man. That’s 19 years of gaming. 151 games. And I have access to every bit of it, at my whim.
For some basic comparison, I have a couple digital pictures that old. A handful. And its shocking that I managed to keep track of them that long. An accident, really.
Steam does the job of safeguarding my games much better than I can. - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 day ago:
Man. I got about 5 minutes into that game.
I think I closed it and started a second runthrough of Stray. Wanted the kitty, not the spaceship.
I should eat some mushrooms or something and give it another shot. - Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 4 days ago:
There is so much going on in that image. Layer after layer. It made me kinda dizzy.
I knew the threads would be cha0s. I was hoping someone would comment about the image itself. And wow. Hell of a comment. :] - Comment on Interesting way to deal with people who have had enough 4 days ago:

Thanks. That’s well laid out, straightforward. I have resources at home that I want to share. This is a good blueprint.

I need to know more about this condition. First, wtf?
And then, well I’m about to explode. What do I do now?
Is exploding fun? - Comment on Interesting way to deal with people who have had enough 5 days ago:
I’ve had a server’s permit for years, used to be a bouncer. In the cert class, they train you on several different ways to cut people off. They have short videos, awful acting, but very real situations that illustrate how it is done, including this method.

My wee Irish grandmother would take issue with this. Her pride was more about being Catholic, but she was definitely Irish. Soda bread. Weird Easter pastries. Ya, cabbage and alcohol too. Just little bits and bobs of Irish culture.

I hesitate to even approach the subject because I have no strong opinions on the matter … Every time Israel comes up in discussion, somebody accuses me of being part of some army of jewish trolls? Really, I have no point, no agenda. These folks are reactionary and freak out. Happened again last week.
(Really, I hope all those people sort things out. I’m on the other side of the world, and have no opinion.)

I still don’t know what I did, but I made someone mad enough to go through my history and downvote. Fuk, I love the attention and conflict. Unfortunately, I think they’ve given up. It was fun while it lasted.

- Comment on When asked "are you an honest person?" The only logical answer is yes. 1 week ago:
This question is a trap, and its easy to dodge.
An actually honest answer would be something like “I try to be honest.”
I would probably float something just like that. Add a bit of fake humility. Not too much.
If people are really looking for the truth, that will look like truth to them. It will also happen to be the truth, as vague as it is, so if they want to dig it won’t be hard to carry on. Keep it reassuring. Don’t actually say anything definite. Act pious. :] - Submitted 1 week ago to [deleted] | 4 comments
