Blarghagh Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I, uh, better run. I didn't back P:E. I'm super excited about it, but it already hit the goal when I found out and I decided to buy it retail price instead. I mean, they kinda want it to turn a profit, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges .... I wonder why the gold ones don't say VIP. The KS page said "gold VIP badge" and the silver ones have the VIP. Instead it says "gold," which isn't as cool sounding. I've been gypped, gypped I say. I may have to sue. 1 “Things are as they are.

I'm glad the K doesn't have a circle around it, because then I'd constantly be thinking about Circle-K convenience stores and wanting jerky and a slushie or something. 1 “Things are as they are.

AGX-17 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Biology final, pizza, pondered the origin of "unwise.exe" as the name for uninstall programs. Was someone just dicking around for fun back in the day? Was it some kind of malicious attempt to keep ignorant people from uninstalling their software? Etc. Bonus fun fact: "dicking," not censored by the naughty word filter. "****y," (i.e. arrogant, "roostery,") censored by the naughty word filter. "****y" is decidedly less offensive than "dicking."

Calax Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Been relaxing during my dead week. I'm supposed to be studying but honestly, just about passing out is what I've been able to pull off. Also: The Heck? Where's my kickstarter/ PE badges? Did I just not get this acct connected to that one? *much grumbling* Edit: Digging through updates, finally figured it out. Muuuch better.

LadyCrimson Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Had some pizza, watched some TV. Then hubs went to bed and I went into my computer room, put on some headphones, and am currently trying really hard not to repeatedly sing along to "Puff the Magic Dragon" - at least not too loudly - but with limited success. Headphones are great for making your loud music not bother anyone else, but they don't do anything to help against one's out of tune singing. “Things are as they are.

I'm buying it when it comes out anyway. I don't use credit cards so PayPal was my only way to pledge - and I don't trust PayPal. The kickstarter goal had been made already by the time I found out so it's not like my pledge mattered, and this way they can still get some profit out of it. I'm concerned everyone who wants PE already backed it and I think Obsidian deserves better than just being able to budget a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Besides the payment issues, while I really love Obsidian, I don't want a realtime with pause game, I've got no interest in that so I did'nt want to go through the bother of getting someone to lend me a creditcard like I did with Wasteland 2. Edited December 12, 2013 by Azdeus Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Raithe Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Balls. My sense of time has been completely out of whack this week. Keep thinking its a different day to what it is, then to top it off was meant to attend a webinar this afternoon but I thought it started an hour later then it did. I think what's bugging me most about it, is that I went out of my way to have reminders for it. I had my computer, my phone, all beeping away through the morning and noon doing the "Remember, you have X thing at 1430".
