All this GoFundMe stuff sounds so crazy to me. It is so fkd up that you have to rely on other people donating money to you after some nutjob threw bullets at you. That this is even necessary... that's so Murica.

No way, the company only wants to make money? Who would have expected that?

Just slap a big TRIGGER WARNING sticker on it and be done.

You mean Trump and guns? Because this thread usually is all about Trump and guns. Kinda refreshing to read something else in here for a change.

It's a clever plan to trick the saviors into thinking the group is bad at doing aimed shots.

Well, they never seem to have problems with finding ammunition and stuff, so why care? I tried to continue watching Fear the Walking Dead a couple days ago, but this Madison Clark character is just so unbearable for me. I can't stand her voice, I can't stand her face, I can't stand her always being the one who is right, I can't stand her always forcing her crap on other people (and then everything goes down the ****ter, obviously), I just want her to die since season 1, but it just doesn't happen. In that last episode I've seen, she is like "hey, how about we arm the native people who just arrived here a few days ago and nobody really trusts them! It makes totally sense to give them our automatic weapons, so they can disarm the rest of us, because this is how we make peace and trust!" ... god, I SWEAR she is sabotaging everything on purpose, otherwise I have no explanation for this behavior.

Back in the days you had to kill the whole worldmap to gain as much xp as possible. If a monster in Elex gives barely anything now, I guess this isn't necessary anymore.

Ok, finished Before the Storm episode 2. Not as intense as the first one, but still good. Now having to wait another 8 weeks. God damnit, I really don't like episode titles anymore.

Before the Storm episode 2 is out. With episode 1 my gamepad first didn't worked at all.. had to do some manual fixing to make it recognize the xbox gamepad... now with episode 2, the RT, LT, etc. buttons aren't working... what the heck is wrong with this game, and why can't they fix this crap?

I wouldn't call Gothic / Risen extremely hard at all. You just have to return to where you came from once you stumble over an area with too strong enemies. Usually at such a point in the game you don't have to be in the area anyway. Gothic 2 with the Night of the Raven addon was quite hard, because it required somewhat meta knowledge of the game, so that you don't waste any skill points. Still, if you do it in the correct order, the game is very manageable. /Edit: Oh, and this is why Gothic failed on the american market back in the days. One of the developers told in an interview that american players didn't liked the concept of "retreat and come back later" when stumbling over a strong enemy, which I find to be a very american thing. :>

It's an european RPG. Americans usually don't like them. If you like Obsidian RPGs, though, there is a good chance you'd like Gothic / Risen as well.

Well, of course it is possible. Everything is. They both filled the paperwork, though, and he was the one looking at me like a berserk about to strike his war ax (which is why I am angry about the "accidental confrontation" at the office... might as well wait outside the building for me, just to get some more weird justice or whatever). She can't be innocent either, else I guess she wouldn't have went through with it in the first place. So yeah, nice family of psychatic folks... better to stay far away from. Oh, another fun bit: After everything was done, I got the files from my lawyer and there was *everything* in it in clear text.. full name (didn't even remember the name until that point), adress, telephone number and so on. Crazy. Due to this f-up I suddenly knew more about her than at any point before. Again, everyone is so careless when it comes to personal data..

Yeah, in afterthought it was just completely weird. My guess is the boyfriend went haywire once he heard about it, because from the 20 minutes chat we had, she did not seem completely nuts at all. The boyfriend was a small man with tats all over the neck area, as well as these big tunnel thingies in the ears. He looked kinda crazed when seeing me at the HR office... which is another thing that makes me angry. The company arranged an "accidental confrontation" for them to check if it is really me. The boss went up and left the room. Kept the door wide open for a few seconds... while they were standing on the floor, looking at me. Man, just thinking of that again makes me furious now. Oh, and they found me via facebook. See, kids, this is what happens if you neglect security of your personal data.

This actually reminds me of a couple years ago. I've lost my job because I've talked to a woman on the streets. She was kinda hot, so I initiated a simple conversion. Nothing fancy or unholy. Talked a bit about books and other stuff. Learned she had a child and boyfriend, so that thing was done for me. Anyway... jump ahead half a week, me sitting at work, suddenly getting called in to HR. Turns out she and her boyfriend appeared and told a grand story about me stalking and attacking her at the bus station (apparently she could only get free from my evil hands by kicking against my knee, then screaming and running away). This story completely steamrolled me. Also, of course, got terminated right away (temporary employment-- basically, you have no rights). Went to the police the same day, and indeed they visited a different police station at about 09:00 in the morning to fill a report. Got myself a lawyer for defense, but funny thing is, once the police tried to contact her again, she didn't respond at all and two or three months later the case was dropped. Lost my job, lost lots of lawyer-money, temporarily lost my sanity, permanently lost my trust in other people ( ). Oh, and I decided not to retaliate via lawsuit, because my lawyer made me clear that this would be just a waste of time and money, as she would never be convicted of anything anyway. In best case, it'll be a "nothing can be proven, so case is dropped", in worst case, it'll fire back at me. Just needs a male judge and she has to be pretty and start crying in front of him to settle it. Man, I just realized that I wasn't thinking about this event the past half year. Usually it comes back at least once per week, and it always makes me angry about not having reacted different at the time. Oh well.

But what if you are bored in prison? Not even then? I mean if you're catcalling a woman and then go to prison for 10 years because of sexual harassment, you won't talk to your cell inmates for 10 years? That's hard to achieve. :>

The what? And kind of sexual abuse? Rape or cat calling?

I am more worried about the matchmaking system being patented. Suddenly you're unable to make a multiplayer game with matchmaking, because Activision claims you are using their property. Try to defend from that as a small studio. /edit: Ok, appears the headline tricked me. I still don't like such mechanics to be patentable. Also microtransactions are cancer, but wallet warriors just can't stop it, can they?

I guess it's more about the fact that DLCs are cheaper to make and folks who already bought the vanilla game are more likely to buy the DLC as well.

Only got that stupid dvd case thing of Arcanum and it's pretty ugly. On the other hand, I don't have the space for biig boxes anymore anyway now.

I love this and can relate:

This string of events made me lel in the morning. :> I can relate quite a lot. Though for me it is already enough to just go out normally. I'm like a totally different person then..

Heh, I would like to see how old people react to Life is Strange. I mean, even I find it cheesy and embarrassing at times, and I'm barely in the 30s. So for someone being 80+, this must be a true alien experience.

As far as I can remember, there is no Steam Workshop for Witcher 2?

I am actually wondering if this helps anything.

I never had steam reset my download status. If I remember right, the client is downloading in batches, no? So technically it should only revert to the last completed batch.
