Actually real life is a sitting simulator because it involves some sitting. Sometimes you just have to walk.

...with DLCs like "Fat me up" and "I got abducted and probed and now I must devote my life to the search for E.T.s". Full circle.

Wishmaster777: But you don't talk about it. You are spinning this one and leading it into the off-topic... once more.
Still acting like a little forum hero, heh? :-)
avatar
GameRager: I posted ontopic as my first post. I then replied to other posts....also I am not the only one who is going offtopic.

But feel free to turn this into something about me, if it makes you feel virtuous about yourself....wait, in a way you're trying to make yourself look better/heroic by mokcing my supposed hero complex.....pot calling kettle black much? :p
This time you are at it with a futile attempt to shame me into not standing up for myself in a debate with you. Your failed manipulative attempt to mentally disarm me will not work, as I am a free thinker, not a liberal. Shame tactics work on the likes of you, not on mine.

Your attempt to deviate the definition of the hero complex, and as such mutated definition attempt to stamp me with it, has no effect either. Hero complex is not standing up for self, but a constant carousel ride of looking for people to stand up for, when no one asked you to do so, or when your targeted person of interest was not endangered or bullied at all. Hero complex is a daily process of creating mental images inside of your head, with scenes filled with distorted image of reality, where the person with the weaker arguments becomes portrayed as the victim. Then the hero complex initiates the action, when you join the debate to attack or verbally abuse the person who had the better arguments in the debate.

Such discussions are not productive, as they tend to derail the topics, as they are always based on your misconceptions, your deliberate attempt to be confrontational, and inclusion of the non-relevant topics, compared to the original ongoing discussion you interfered with. It could also be attributed to your ignorance, because the ignorant people are usually have big dose of self-confidence to interfere with things that are none of their concern. You did it again, because, have a look at what we are debating right now, and compare it to the original title of the thread. Have a nice one, hero boy. :-)

Whenever any store offers a game for free and I find out about it, I take the free game right away. The only exception is if it is from the Microsoft Store which I want nothing to do with whatsoever, or if it requires me to share something on Twitter, Facebook or other social media or other similar shenanigans. As long is the only requirements are to have or create an account on the given website/store, and click the mouse a few times to obtain a game code or have it redeemed on one of my game accounts somehow and the whole process is relatively painless to do, then I take the 30s - 2m or so to grab the free game.

Doesn't matter if I've heard of the game before, what company made the game (even if I don't like the company for some reason, or wouldn't buy a game from them), doesn't matter if I already own the game on some other store, doesn't matter what the game is about, doesn't matter whether or not it has multiplayer or any other characteristic, doesn't matter if it is a game genre I like or care about. If it is free, and takes almost no time go get a copy, I just take it for free and leave it sit in the pile until I decide to look at it some time in the future if ever.

My thinking is that for a few seconds of effort I get something for free, and by doing this I put the least possible effort into the decision process, and I am free then on my own time at a later date as to whether or not I want to watch the game's trailer or find out more about it or even just install it and try it out. But if I had hesitated to only pick free games that I will like or filter them in some other way, then I'd have to put perhaps 5 minutes to a half hour into watching trailers, reading reviews or whatever to decide whether or not to take something that is free, and I don't want to put that much up front time into the decision process.

So, free is free and I'll take it now and possibly look into it more later if I feel like it, or maybe not. The game might sit there forever without me ever looking at it again, but that comes with no negative consequence to me so I'm good with it.

As for any kind of games cluttering up my library that I may not or even know I wont ever play, I just don't care about that either because I own 1300+ games or more spread across multiple stores, and any concept of trying to organize and sort that out and have it somehow "clean" is impossible anyway, plus I just couldn't be bothered.

I'll just use searching, sorting, and filters to narrow my library view down on a given store to find what I want to see at a given moment, and if there are a bunch of games present I'll never play, I just don't care. :)

I probably spent more time typing this message than the combined total amount of time I've spent thinking about whether or not I should accept a free game over the last 7 years. :P
well, my story is a bit different as i bought this full price when it released only to realize that it ran like crap on my puter and made me very nauseous. got a refund. i still grabbed it as a freebie cuz pcs can be upgraded and perhaps ill get over the nausea. tbh i wasnt all that thrilled with what gameplay i saw tho
I don't love nor hate this type of games, but after playing Obduction fo a lil bit, I'd say it's an interesting game, and quite beautiful as well.

If you're interested in this type of game, I recommend picking it up. If not, I still recommend picking it up. And if you hate this type of games, I still recommend picking it up.

They were mostly before you posted your reply, so in this case you're sadly in the wrong.

Consider getting it anyways. GOG emails it to you as a gift key. You could then donate it to the Community Giveaway and share it with those who didn't manage to redeem it during the giveaway period.
I don't think one could take the game and gift it away....but I could be wrong.

GameRager: To be fair many games are "walking sims"...some with shooting or magic casting/swordplay, but many great games involve some amount of walking.
avatar
sanscript: To be really really fair, real life is also a "walking simulator", and most of us can happily choose where and how we want to walk. We even have the choice of what type of ground we want to do it on... unless someone "magically" put you inprison, and then you can also choose to fight bare handed or with a crafted "sword".
This is also true. I wasn't trying to mock anyone by saying what I said, btw, just that calling every game with walking a walking sim isn't a good/fair description imo.

1. No one forced you to stand up for yourself or debate me.

2. If you're a free thinker then bow out of the debate now and don't continue on.

3, You shamed me when I merely called you out for what you said originally as a one off reply, and have generally tried to subtley "get my goat" every time you noticed my replies to you/others in threads you were also in.
=================================
4. If it has no effect as you claim you wouldn;t be replying any more, now would you?

5. So you consider agreeing with/siding with people is a hero complex? What about it just possibly being me being a nice person and standing up on occasion to support those I feel are being unfairly treated? Is that not a good thing?

6. Often those I stand up for are being treated unfairly poorly and not just me seeing them as victims. Also many times the other person doesn't have the better side/argument, and better is subjective btw.
================================
7. I wouldn't have replied to you if you wouldn't have argued about my reply in the first place....so in part you are partially at fault for the chain of replies that occurred. You KNOW how I react to such replies and you continued on anyways, which shows somewhat(imo) your true intent.

You could've also dropped the matter and never replied, allowing the thread to stay ontopic, but you didn't.
===================================
Irregardless I will be reporting this reply chain, your personal attacks to staff and we will see how such are taken by them. If you continue to egg me on I will also report such as well as further proof of personal egging on on your part and will not reply ton anything you might have to reply after this post.

I WILL, however, be free to PM if you want to chat(if you truly want to keep threads ontopic and keep this stuff out of the threads), but I have a feeling you will likely say no for some reason or other.

===============================
To ALL: I apologize for taking this thread so far offtopic. I will be stopping now and promise to not do it in this thread in the future.

You made a lot of good points and I agree on them 100%

Tauto: How about in the future when you have the uncontrollable urge to reply to my posts,YOU DON'T!
Sigh....look, I only called you out for making an inaccurate statement originally, nothing more. I was not trying to insult you or make fun of you in any way, so there's no need to get so upset at me.

I have sided with you and defended you when others unfairly picked on you in the past, btw, and you seemed an okay person.....why, then, would you essentially bite the person who was nice to you for some fair correction of opinion?

Was what I said so bad for you to basically tell me off over one comment that wasn't trying to hurt you in the first place?

No matter what, this is getting offtopic so if you want to continue such feel free to PM me if you want to explain how I wronged you/vent so we can keep this thread on track/civil.

I tend to preface a lot of my replies to clarify stuff/my intent to avoid people getting upset(as can happen easily in this day and age) and it leading to an unwanted/needed argument.

I misread your context/tone a bit and thought maybe you took a bit of offense at what I said(my sarcasm meter is off sometimes), and just wanted to clarify/apologize if need be.

Now we have the champion hero who is virtue signalling how fair and just he is. Lol, let's talk about being pathetic. Haha. :-) Also, you are making other bow down at your whim – you fit in the image of the stereotypical average liberal. :-)

GameRager: 1. No one forced you to stand up for yourself or debate me.
You did. And I always will stand up for myself.

GameRager: 2. If you're a free thinker then bow out of the debate now and don't continue on.
"If you are a free thinker you will do as i say." Ahahaha! This is beyond pathetic.

avatar
GameRager: 3, You shamed me when I merely called you out for what you said originally as a one off reply, and have generally tried to subtley "get my goat" every time you noticed my replies to you/others in threads you were also in.
=================================
You are literally replying on my comments hwerever you see me. I have never bothered replying to you, unless it was your reply to me. You are lying again.

avatar
GameRager: 4. If it has no effect as you claim you wouldn;t be replying any more, now would you?
I never claimed I would never reply to you. You did, however, say you will put ME on the mental ignore, after you have embarrassed yourself in another thread.

avatar
GameRager: 5. So you consider agreeing with/siding with people is a hero complex? What about it just possibly being me being a nice person and standing up on occasion to support those I feel are being unfairly treated? Is that not a good thing?
I have explained how hero complex works. Again you play the stereotypical liberal card about being a nice person. It's one thing to agree with one person, it's another when you literally confessed you like to stand for the ones who are, according to you, "undergod" in a debate. That is indeed a hero complex.

avatar
GameRager: 6. Often those I stand up for are being treated unfairly poorly and not just me seeing them as victims. Also many times the other person doesn't have the better side/argument, and better is subjective btw.
================================
Now you admit doing it again. That is a hero complex at work, and you, sir, are what is known as a white knight.

GameRager: 7. I wouldn't have replied to you if you wouldn't have argued about my reply in the first place....so in part you are partially at fault for the chain of replies that occurred. You KNOW how I react to such replies and you continued on anyways, which shows somewhat(imo) your true intent.
Yup, "I wouldn't reply to you, but you did reply to me, because I was the one who started with replies." Ahahaha! This is what you have literally said.

avatar
GameRager: You could've also dropped the matter and never replied, allowing the thread to stay ontopic, but you didn't.
===================================
You might as well stop stalking me, and replying to every single comment I write.

avatar
GameRager: Irregardless I will be reporting this reply chain, your personal attacks to staff and we will see how such are taken by them. If you continue to egg me on I will also report such as well as further proof of personal egging on on your part and will not reply ton anything you might have to reply after this post.
So, it started with your hero complex, they you transitioned to virtue signalling, went on with blatant lies, and now you have settled for playing the victim card and you threat with contacting moderators. Let's see how all of this works out for you. Like i said, you better stop replying to me, and the issue will be solved. The issue wouldn't have existed, had you not bothered derailed threads with your hero complex virtue signalling in the first place.

avatar
GameRager: I WILL, however, be free to PM if you want to chat(if you truly want to keep threads ontopic and keep this stuff out of the threads), but I have a feeling you will likely say no for some reason or other.
Stop being a stalker already. I do not wish to have a contact with you. I keep people like you on distance, for my safety reasons.

GameRager: To ALL: I apologize for taking this thread so far offtopic. I will be stopping now and promise to not do it in this thread in the future.
Yet you keep derailing it. Right. Liberal hypocrisy at best. At this point it is apparent you have some serious issues going on in your life. This is not a normal human interraction.
