Oops!

One of the best scenes is at the end of the movie.

My brother had his phone stolen and missed his train to come and visit me because he had to give a police statement. Meanwhile, my mum is feeling ill and hasn't yet been able to make the journey (driving). So it's an unexpectedly lonely Christmas for me so far

Uh oh, there's a game I was planning to stream tonight. Hope it's back up by then. Or at least offline mode works.

My suggestion is to not buy anything that you don't plan to play now. I cannot count the games that I have bought on Steam sales that I never play. If you never play them then a sale is not saving you anything... If there's a game that you already wanted and that's on sale then go for it! There's a couple of my wish list that are on sale, but mostly not tempting enough to go for it... I know I'll probably just keep playing CS:GO and neglect any new games... As it is, I need to find the time to get back to MGSV on my PS3 to finish that before I forget about it... And find a million hours to max character attributes for the FFVII weapon fights to finally check that off my list...

Oh man, I fell into the trap... I just bought Lisa and Outlast. At least I was smart enough to stick to the cheap end of the spectrum. I also try to avoid buying any non-Linux titles right now. I have no intent to install Windows again so I'm trying to hold out and hope that titles like TW3 come to Linux. And in the meantime, no matter how good the sale, skip them. But if you don't have it yet, I do recommend TW3. 50% isn't bad.

I have a hunch TW3 is The Witcher 3.

I haven't personally played it yet, but it looks like an upgraded Skyrim and I immensely loved Skyrim. It had more than its share of bugs and immersion breaking moments, but the good times more than made up for the bad. You do need a bit of imagination, but I think the best games do. Our imaginations are far better at satisfying us than anything man-made. I like to think that a good game is just a tool to inspire the imagination.

Christmas thread bump. What did you receive/buy today? (Yesterday for those in +GMT timezones)

Cash. Haven't left the house yet, just now getting on the computer.

I got a sleeping bag from my wife and various smaller backpacking gear from her family. They have this neat system where everyone shares wish lists at the beginning of December and then others can buy (and cross off) stuff. And yes, me and my wife plan to go backpacking in 2017 - only missing a tent and a backpack now

Funnily enough, the PS4 is BSD-ish, and Linux and BSD applications are somewhat similar. Red Engine 3 might have the support half-baked. But that is true, all effort must be on Cyberpunk. Maybe in a few years they will take on the project.

132 is the Pokedex number for the Pokemon Ditto.
