This game is shit and I hate it.

Fixed now. EDIT: Nevermind.

Hmm, I can't read my messages, including events

I have a sneaking suspicion that Mario is actually Wario in disguise.

I made an OK Cupid profile like a day before Twig's post. I'm having a ton of fun with it. I'm surprised it has this many users around here, but then Helsinki is a bigger place than I'm used to. Anyway, I haven't met anyone yet, but it's been far, far nicer than I expected. It's super important to present yourself well in text as well as the photos, but I don't see what you could lose from trying it. It must have tons more users in SF. If you think someone has a boring profile, maybe you shouldn't contact her. Do the opposite yourself, open up about yourself. Don't just try to present yourself as a regular guy guy with guy hobbies. I've had three women ask me about Doctor Who and one about Joseph Conrad. Oh yeah, I moved to Helsinki. I'm working at the local science centre to fulfil my obligation to defend the nation. It's bloody great, except I'm poor and they are working me as if they are paying me to do it. Still haven't finished my Master's Thesis and it's going to take a while. Anyway, life is pretty damn good except I only know a couple of people in this town and have little spending money (this does not in any way compare to actual poverty). Tegan, your mom has to put something on the line. Every time you reach out, you are putting a piece of yourself on the line, which they have chosen to have for dinner. The last time she promised to help you, she lied about some money, which you need. Using that to lure you into the meeting was some special kind of Macchiavellian bullshit. She still owes you that money. If she wants to help you, there are concrete ways she can do that, ways that are simple and don't require an ounce of trust from you. I've never been in any kind of situation that resembles yours, so I suppose my advice is potentially dangerous... But my two cents are that trust is earned, but not by making promises.

Christ, I can't believe what a manipulative dipshit your mom is, tegan. You can really congratulate yourself on growing up a decent person in spite of that influence.

Metoometoo.

Just tell her to meet you at your friend's house or it's off. Don't let her start setting the terms now. If she keeps insisting, you should probably not do it.

I'm in too. I think I have one more Neptune's Pride game left in me.

You guys. This was the worst.

Of Crytek's games? More than 60% I would say, which is why they're not very interesting to play.

The answer is no. They could not have chosen a worse way to tackle a remake of Flashback.

Even if the game sucks, at least we'll have that trailer forever. But this could be really fun.

I cannot get over the name. It's just horrendous.

He sounded pretty smug to me.

What the what.

So I dreamed there was a new writer at Rock Paper Shotgun and it was tegan. I saw the introductory post and everything. I need to spend less time online.

Man, having tried to play this like a multiplayer game with my brother, it'd look better if they admitted to the DRM instead of claiming that it's just a really shitty MMO.

Possibly not.

I'll be out of town

This is all a cruel prank, isn't it

That is lovely.

I guess companions often have personal quests you help them with? I mean, Morte is a rather big part of the original Torment.

Is this in 20 minutes? Telling time is so damn difficult.

Huh. It's cheaper than I expected.
