I can't believe I had never heard of it. Glad it popped up on one of the featured sales, that's the only reason I looked at it.

Dark Souls 3 {Dark souls 2 successor [Dark Souls successor (Demon's Souls successor)]} (Bloodborne's something)

I just bought some sidescrolling RPG called Lisa that I've never heard of before, but sounds weird in exactly the way I like my games to be. Otherwise have picked up Forced; NomNom Galaxy; Cook, Serve, Delicious; and Minerva's Den. Also D4, but that was unrelated to the sale.

Yeah, holy shit. When I was freelancing for the local daily paper like 7 years ago, I got paid $50 for simple 300-500 word fluff/community pieces and anything bigger than that was usually negotiated. To be fair, I think that is still what freelancers get paid today (which is part of the reason I don't bother freelancing anymore).

The official Dark Souls Facebook page listed PC as a platform! Please don't just be some intern fucking up. -
To be fair, there are still a couple of examples of shadiness, the biggest being GTAV. And that's not the price, it's that the bundle is probably NOT eligible for refunds under the new refund policy. That may not have been Rockstar's intention, but the price plus no refunds certainly doesn't look good.

Trailer is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sMc2bnRc0o Well, but DS2 is just about how the cycle present in DS1 has been repeating, likely for an eternity. Each of the first two games are just different cycles, which was certainly something that could be gleaned from the first one as well. DS3 is looking to tackle what happens when the cycles finally stop (my guess, at any rate). Each of the first two were about societies that had crumbled, but this looks more like it's an end of times type thing. -
Seems like most (but not all) of the accusations about price shenanigans with the summer sale were likely just Reddit freaking out about things that had already been announced weeks/months ahead of time.
-
I would love that as well. We made it about halfway through Season 3 before we got distracted and we haven't been back to watch more.
-
It might have, it's been several years since the last time I replayed F1, but for me the dog as an iconic vision of a dog in post apocalyptic worlds starts with A Boy and His Dog.
-
I've read the books, but have not watched the most recent season. Specifically with stuff about what's happening on the Wall and Snow:
-
It's equally plausible that it was A Boy and His Dog reference, which in turn had to be a reference point for Mad Max (the wackiness and surrealness is certainly there).

cool

I had assumed there had to be something like that out there, as a Reddit group broke 10K yesterday, and were aiming for a hundred thousand today.
-
Fair point, and a lot of my reaction may just be an implementation thing. The multiplayer aspects definitely have potential, healing or assisting other players in various ways. That's neat!

And I would argue that Cookie Clicker was a far more interesting experience, because it had the weirdness of a kind of story wrapped around it (the stuff with the rise of the Grandmas was hilarious), and it eventually got a little dungeon crawl mini-game added to it. I don't even really think of Candy Box as a clicker game though, just as an adventure game that pretended to be a clicker game. The meta stuff on the Steam game isn't that interesting to me, The primary reward is cards, and I kinda liked the community voting aspect that used to get you cards. The other part of the meta game is unlocking additional sales, which is...eh. I would be very, very surprised if any sales didn't get unlocked. Steam wants those games on sale. One would assume those devs want their games to be on sale. There's just a weird middleman in the shape of a game in the way?

I've checked in on it a few times today, and also used my autohotkey click spam script with no problems. I'm truly, and deeply, impressed at what Valve has done here. They've taken the most pointless but addictive genre of games, and managed to make it less engaging, less addictive and and less interesting than any other clicker game I've played. And it's got no personality to it at all (which is often the thing that I actually enjoy in these things). It's a real accomplishment. I also must have ended up in a particularly large or obsessive group, as it's ~140 levels above the next person on my friends list, and 400 levels above the next person after that. So I guess some people are into it?

My fridge and my washing machine stare at each other, every day, 24 hours a day, years on end. If they could move, there would be murder, I'm sure.

Congrats Miffy!

Oh god, that Good Reads thread. I was a little afraid that Chris was overselling it, but nope, it's just as good as claimed. A thread about a 1 star review on Good Reads is "waging war on the consciousness of humanity." Today is full of many good things.

I use the Dark Souls subreddits almost exclusively, and still remain relatively uncomfortable even with that much use. But it's also one of (if not the) most organized central Souls community. The disclaimer wasn't there the first time I read it, but popped up when I went back to quote the "unreliable" sentence.

Oh wow, I forgot D4 was coming to PC, thanks Danielle! Totally playing that tonight. That makes me do a straight up little happy dance. Also, the conversation about chowder is similar to the how bbq is treated in Kansas City. People (including me) argue about some serious minutia in the differences of between various kinds of bbq, sauce, preparation, etc. I love regional food obsessions, and how people become very possessive about particular types of food.

No, I played Bioshock 2 on the 360 and never bothered to buy it for PC, until it came with a Humble Bundle awhile back. But that was after GFWL was killed, so no Minverva's Den for me and it hadn't been on sale since. There's several sub-$4 games I might pick up. There's quite a few local co-op titles that are sub-$5 (because I'll basically buy anything with local co-op if it's cheap enough to see if it's fun). The Tale of Tales bundle is cheap, and I've always meant to play them. Shadowgate is $3.74, and I've heard good things about it from other people who were fans of the original many years ago. Nom Nom Galaxy is only $5, and it's supposed to leave Early Access this month (I like basically everything Q-Games has ever done). Valkyria Chronicles is $5, but eh, I think it would be one I would never get around to actually playing. I think that's pretty much everything that jumps out at me.

Oh god, I thought you were joking (I pay no attention to Windows development).
