@freemo P.s., your hashtags has Tolkien spelled wrong. Geoffrey too.
@erinbee Why was it abandoned?
@knassar702 Yeah, I figured you're testing something. ;) Just gave you a tip that you might want to put your message privacy to unlisted so others don't need to see all those tests. ;)
@knassar702 Y'know, if you're going to test a lot, maybe do it unlisted so it's just you spamming yourself? ;)
For people not aware, IndieGala does have a page with a bunch of freebie games for anyone to play.
https://freebies.indiegala.com
There are quite a few nice games in there, and at a quick glance there are at least 3 games featuring cats. ;)

Watching some random new non-serious series on Netflix to figure out what I'd like to watch the coming time. Stumbled on Family Reunion. I'm not entirely sure yet what to think of it, it starts out pretty corny though there were some nice bits too. Hope the corniness gets toned down in later episodes, otherwise it feels too forced, and forced jokes never become great.
@robryk Yeah. ;) When told right it's a nice one to catch your buddies unaware. It doesn't convey as well in text I suppose. :D
@robryk You're thinking way too sciency here. ;) Just what gives light first?
@robryk I know a bit a silly one. ;)
You enter a completely dark room. You strike a match to see what's in there.
You see: A candle, a flashlight, and a desk lamp.
What gets lit up first in this room?
Oh, neat. Now the devs kinda realized they've been dumdum and should've contacted the bundle site to compare keys against so that keys of legitimate customers would not have been revoked.
Chances are that the bundle site will redistribute the new keys, at least I'm expecting that scenario.
Not going to solve 100% of the issues here, but it will at least be a godawfully huge chunk of the players in that time period.
That game dev is totally fucked with its reputation, alright.
@swiley Whelp, can't help you there then. Worked fine here.
KSP? Kerbal Space Program? Not entirely sure what the launcher of just one game's got to do with a launcher of a game distribution site.
@swiley That counts for any launcher, honestly.
But you can play Steam in offline mode for times you don't have a (good) connection.
@2ck Heh.
@swiley Och, I like Steam. I have no issues with it. :) Besides, this isn't Steam's fault. This is solely that game dev's fault.
@s8n The dev is called Pera Games, not really well known to me but there you go.
You can read up all the juicy details in the forum and reviews here:

Wow, that's a new one. Bought a game from a trustworthy bundle site years ago, and now it got its key revoked because the dev has some issues with the publisher or some such? Like, what? What's that got to do with us, the players?
I'm now seeing a big review-bombing unfold on the store page of that game. Very curious how that's going to get resolved but I can say the reputation of that dev is utter shit right now. Like, yeah, that was a great idea to revoke keys of probably tens of thousands of players after 3 years. /s

@2ck I get an access denied with that link.
why did nobody tell me that a fucking bartender in west virginia declared himself mayor he could lobby for a bridge to be built (because, like, kids were dropping out of school and all the industry in the area was closing because you couldn't get there, and ... after some of the local owning class decided that only the company got to use their service road)
and he reached out to various parts of the local government, and he got stonewalled, so he reached out to the foreign aid office of the fuckin' SOVIET UNION
and the soviets sent over a goddamn journalist to write about the situation, and the state pretty much immediately went "umm yeah we'll build the bridge" so that this village didn't have to get foreign aid from the Soviets
it's Vulcan, WV; look it up

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
