Grim Fandango is free on Gog for a limited time.

The first patch is out and there'll be a number of them over the next couple months. Had I known I was going to be beta testing for them, I wouldn't have wasted my money on an unfinished game.

Call me cynical but:

1. It's not anonymous. People will be complimentary for the same reason most white journal pages are positive: they'll get shit for it if they're not..

2. If you're negative toward someone, they're less likely to first impression you in return and give you 4 XP.

Carmageddon TDR 2000 is free on Gog for the next 35 hours or so.

It's actually bringing violence to solve hate. You can punch a Nazi without hating Nazis. Much like exterminators don't hate the vermin they kill.

I once considered a crafter. Then I saw that people seemed to like - even expect - descriptions that look like someone vomited a rainbow all over things.

Shadow Warrior 2 for free on Gog for 37 hours or so.

I'm 50% German, 25% Romanian and 25% Ukrainian with Jewish coming from all four lines of grandparents. What their ethnic makeup is, I haven't a clue (though I like to think there's some distant Celt in there given they originally came from that region). Strange that this topic just came up at work today when a customer mentioned he just got the results of his DNA analysis through Ancestry.com. For only a hundred bucks, I'm almost tempted out of sheer curiosity.

@Chet As an English professor, I would recommend--seriously, and without intentional disdain/scorn--that you take a course in technical or professional writing if you can. You may find it extremely helpful for developing clearer, more straightforward writing that's attentive of audience expectations.

Actually, I'd recommend he just stop being pretentious.

If you liked Witcher and you like Gwent, Thronebreaker is fun.

I think race is kinda silly from the biodiversity perspective; the dna differences are negligible.

Oh, I agree. Even the most startling revelation wouldn't change my life in the slightest degree. I don't give a damn about finding relatives but it would be pretty cool to discover that I'm 3% Neanderthal. And I'd definitely find a reason to bring up in conversation having Denisovan DNA. Now that's unlikely since I don't have any ancestors from Asia that I know of but given how the Mongols swept into eastern Europe, it's possible and would be pretty interesting to find out.

On a side note, reading up on various testing companies, I've found a few that say AncestryDNA is the least reliable (which would explain why they're cheapest) so buyer beware.

1. Setting, theme, and rules. I need to know what kind of game it is, where it's taking place, and what system it uses.

2. All game information should be on the game itself. A wiki is a bonus.

3. Original theme games have a larger onus to expand in depth on theme and setting since it can be assumed that no one knows anything about it.

Necro! Well, the topic isn't time dependent so why not. Anyway...

@WTFE Giving the happy couple a primer on sexual positions on their wedding day is a very old tradition in China.

(Work safe. I think.)

@Tempest Fair. Though the year is 1964 so if it's the Hippie scene you dislike, it's not really begun yet in any force. Nor has the Vietnam War started yet per se (not counting all those advisors and shit over there). Honestly, had I chosen a year, 1963 is right in the middle of the interesting periods so it's barely noticeable in many ways. It's more what you bring to it (though isn't everything).

Anyone play Disco Elysium yet? Does it live up to the reviews it's been getting?

@surreality You need to learn how to say no. Followed by NO. And not give in. Insist on an alternative and stick to it. You know you better than they do and if you keep putting those pills in your mouth, whose fault is it really?

@collective What @ixokai is saying is: come app.

@Misadventure I just played KOTOR and KOTOR 2 for the first time ever about 4 months ago. This is what got me into SWTOR.

@surreality Sounds kind of like that House episode where endometrial cells migrated to other parts of the body of this woman. As cells do, they multiplied and once they hit critical mass, started bleeding on her monthly timer. Not sure if that's actually possible.
