Oh no shaming at all! I'm sorry if I came off as judgemental.
no no, I didn't take it that way. You're fine. I was just responding to the logical conclusion of lashy's doubt. That is, I buy these games all the time anyway, so saying it was gifted to me would just look like I'm trying to cover up some form of embarrassment. Of course lashman was just kidding, but I suppose I took it as another opportunity to reaffirm my shamelessness. :p I have no reason to hide or cover these things.

(but also to your previous post, I think the foot rub thingy is a separate dlc you have to buy, if that's the only thing keeping you away.)

So some of you talking up mages in Underlord I thought were nuts because I've tried and I never get mages in my draft and at best get like three before getting crushed. Well, I stuck to mages first and humans second. And I was getting crushed. But last place and with 20 health I finally got six mages and had good economy working towards rank 7 or 8 by then. I still lost a couple real close rounds and dwindled down to 9 health. But then I stopped losing (it helped that I had one round where I think three of my one-star heroes went to two stars). I got up to ten heroes down, a perk that mages got full mana at 30% health, and got level 2 lich and arc warden (he was my misfit 10th hero). Oh, and of course Keeper of the Light is a beast. He's honestly what saved me.

So anyhow, yeah, once you can build up a Lich and Keeper of the Light with a full six mages you become kind of monstrous. And Arc Warden (with a refresher the last couple rounds standing next to a two star Crystal Maiden) started making things silly.

Got my second win and likely really annoyed everyone as I came back from a far last place and became impossible to take down or defend against.

Ah, good to know. Without going into much detail, I just have this thing with feet...they're weird man. I don't even like touching mine lol I know it is a game but still :p

And I hope you're doing much better now, Echo. Remember we're always here for you :)

lol. Well I would doubt too, except I have never once expressed shame in my choice of games! :heroblob: In-fact the opposite, I always said if anyone doesn't like what I play ya'll can delete me from your friends list.

Anywho, I haven't been working since my little bro passed last month so haven't had money for games. This Summer sale will pass me by. I do hope to start work again later this week however... so maybe at the tail end of the sale I can grab something small ... When will it end just so I know my deadline?
I don't have you added on Steam but anyone with a Grisaia background and a VA-11 gif in profile definitely has a good taste, nothing to be ashamed of.

And the sale will probably end on the 9th I guess, since it's running for two weeks.


So, WWE 2K19. I'm impressed by how shitty it is. Characters models being swapped constantly, characters getting stuck trying to enter in the ring, commentary completely out of place and mostly importantly, the roster sucks. I don't know if any of you are into WWE, and I stopped following them back in 2013, but the actual roster is awful. Apparently 2K20 will focus on legendary wrestlers, but honestly, I don't see myself ever buying it unless there's a huge gameplay overhaul, less bugs and much better performance.

Can't wait for AEW getting their own wrestling game to compete.

Sadly foil cards has since lost most of its value otherwise you could sell a few of those and have enough funds for a couple of games.
:wd_rain:

Hang tough!
Have you seen my Steam level and badges? I'm the kinda idiot that turns foils into profile glitter rather than money lol. :whistle: I only sell duplicate BG's and emotes for the most part, and even then I mostly crush them for gems instead to put back into booster pack creation for rarer games. Sellings lots of things for pennies seems like more hassle than it's worth tbh. Also at least here in the US, I have heard if you sell too much Valve has to serve you tax papers?

... but well, all that said, with the happenings of life lately... buying games is one of the last things on my mind anyway. Missing a Steam sale isn't the end of the world for me haha. (I just feel like some weird responsibility to always tie my posts into Video Games somehow because this is a Video Game thread after all.)

I'd gift you something, but you haven't accepted my friend request. ;)

I'll accept your friend request, but please don't waste money on me for gifts. I'm not looking for gifts, or handouts, or pity, or whatever. And I hope that doesn't sound mean or callous. It's great to be part of a community that wants to do nice things, but... people who have gifted me things can tell you that I always pay-back. It's just something I feel responsible to do. If somebody gifts me something, I always try to gift back at Christmas or their birthday (if I know it), or immediately even.

Gifting me right now when I have no money is akin to torture. I feel helpless not being able to return favors and I hate it. People tell me this is a bad trait but I just can't help it. I'm sorry. o_O

Hope things work out and you can grab something in the sale. From everything I've been able to find it seems that it will end on July 9th.

I think Im done farming cards for the sale. (shout out to Dragon Quest for giving me a $2 foil) Made $11 so I guess I can grab a few cheap games on my wishlist.. Maybe Dark Souls remastered if it drops to $10 again.

Unemployment sucks and finding out you have to move with only a few weeks notice really doesnt help @.@. Hopefully living in a bigger town will help me find a job so I can spend a embarrassing amount on anime games again. At least I got a FFXIV sub and a Shadowbringers preorder which will really help my anxiety during the move. :minos_cozy:

I should really give FFXIV another shot someday. I enjoyed my time with it but I've never been one for raiding., well these days at least.. it's a long story. And I've never really had anyone to group with when I've played so I usually get a character to around 20 or 30 then stop.

Oh and I hope the move does work out for you! I can definitely relate when it comes to sometimes wanting to splurge during the sale and not being able to.

Can never have too many.. :detectiveblob:

how about valve hire these guys to do Episode 3. This looks incredible.
hmm nice ... from the article
The Crowbar Collective team is finally almost ready to finish the job with Xen, which fleshes out the alien portion of the story with an aim to make it stand up to the rest of Valve’s masterpiece. The beta I played includes three chapters from the brand-new levels. That slice is due for an imminent public release, if you’re curious.

And got another win in Underlords (second in a row!). I went back to my nine warrior team. This time I added in the shaman fellow that hexes for my #10 and right before the end I got the perk for an 11th hero so I tossed in a second troll warrior (had a two star and this was a one star). I had just completed a second two star Doom that would have replaced them for the next round if it continued.

I had a real rocky start and was mostly towards the bottom but I kept holding on or having small losses. In the end I was third place with 2 health and in the last round I wiped out first place dealing like 18 (of 16 remaining health) and they must have taken out the second place person so it bumped me into the winning spot.

The all warrior lineup I still think is incredibly strong. I constantly have good games going that route so if anyone is getting into it and having trouble I suggest giving it a shot. I do run into spots where I have more spaces to place heroes than new warrior units at which point I'll just snag a random hero that either completes some other attribute or is just otherwise strong in a team fight. Or I will toss a duplicate hero up if they can add a good ability to the fight.

Next months are gonna be expensive for me.
Gonna move, wanna buy a new motorcycle for next summer, wanna buy custom wraps for it as well, wanna travel far away.
Cancelled half my patreon pledges already and i'm gonna try to spend a lot less money on Videogames for the next 12 months.
But then i'm being nagged by the desire to play Judgement day 1 instead of waiting for the inevitably cheaper PC Version a few months from now.
I hate money.

I'll accept your friend request, but please don't waste money on me for gifts. I'm not looking for gifts, or handouts, or pity, or whatever.
To be honest i think that's kinda sad. Gifts aren't handouts or pity, they are a sign of appreciation!!!
I think you need to get over your desire to pay back, especially when you feel like it's something you must do.
It's supposed to be fun and to make you feel good!
Personally, the few times in life i received gifts always make me really happy bean and i love to share that Feeling with other people occasionally.
But you feeling "tortured" by it means one can't doi that cos i wouldn't wanna make ya feel bad.

Why do people have to be so complicated

Finally got my first Underlords win :awwblob: Now it's time to stop being an addict and just play the game as a normal person would.
I wish :pensive-face:

Oh, nice. I've owned Black Mesa for a while and have been sitting on it awaiting Xen's release. Then I can finally play Half-Life :pleasedblob: I tried the original game a few months ago and realized that either I suck at first-person platforming or the game's platforming sections suck. Given that Xen is infamous for its bad platforming sections and I was merely in the beginning of the game, I'd like to assume the latter :smiling-face-with-halo:

It's a Tier 5 perk from winning a neutral phase. The picture I posted earlier in the thread of my first win I also had that perk (so I put in a bonus Kunkka because I'm an asshole).

I'm assuming the neutral rewards tiers are similar to the hero tier list in that you need to be at least rank 8 to even have a chance for a tier 5 to show up? I also always pick the rewards that add an extra item to select and bump up the level of items by one.

I could run it at 60fps downsampled from something higher than 1080p with a 4690k and a worse GPU, so I think you'll be a-ok.

Edit: oh, I actually looked up your CPU like I should've in the first place and it's clocked lower than mine. Still, it's probably gonna be fine. It seems like the two are pretty comparable in terms of performance.
