Apparently nobody else has been updating so I just updated the topic to here >_>

Sorry...mentioned it on discord but I've been extremely busy this whole week. Don't think I've even posted in this topic in days outside of noting a gift I got from LionLuBu. First time in years my wife and I both got the week off the for the holidays so we've been doing everything we can to make sure the week has been exceptionally fun for both of our little ones. :3


Same here, I've been visiting my region with my gf (she's here for the first time ever) and I haven't even had time to turn on my PC and accept gifts.

Also no sex scenes since he's Mormon


Is that a problem in a fantasy book?
I never thought: "hey, you know what LOTR really needs... A full scene detailing Sam gobling on Frodos 'throbbing member'


I'm not talking about gratuitous sex (like GRRM does) . I'm talking about using it where it's relevant.

In LotR it makes little sense because Tolkien characters are highly idealized, with only a few flaws. In Sanderson books, they tend to be more human and tridimensional.

In Way of the Kings for example, there is a conversation about what theu do if they want to go to the toilet while in Plate Armor. You wouldn't find such a conversation in Tolkien.

Ive heard of this guy. By the sounds of it, im pretty certain most of the stuff he writes is probably junk that people mistake for being good/epic just because its long. Just like how most fantasy/scifi fans tend to be

No, it's actually pretty good. Most of his books are a slow burn with a great payoff and are genuinely fun to read.


Except for the endings which tend to feel underwhelming. Also no sex scenes since he's Mormon.

But the guy is a world builder machine. Also his theory of hard magic should be used by every other fantasy author.

Definitelt my favourite author at the moment.

...not even fate can stand in their way.

The gifting continues into topic 2! Please wait until the first one hits 500.

RULES

For the newbies, rules are simple:

- Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff!
- Feeling generous? Gift something to someone and you'll get a chance to win prizes!

That's the basics. Here's a couple additional things to keep in mind (since in every contest people ask the same questions):

- When gifting, please put somewhere in the gift message your GFAQs username. It helps keeping things straight.
- When you receive a gift, please post in the topic saying what you received and from whom.
- While this is called "Steam" gift topic, it isn't limited to it. Basically as long as the gift is a game, it counts.
- Gifters get one entry per gifted game. At the end of the contest I'll randomly pick a few winners entry from the pool, so the more you gift the more you can win!
- [NEW] For giveaways of codes gotten from a bundle, you get one entry per 5 games gifted.
- You don't get entries from games you got for free.
- Gifts done elsewhere in GameFAQs count, as long as they have been gifted after the creation of this topic.
- To avoid getting the topic saturated, you can only post a link to your wishlist thrice per topic. You are free to put it in your sig for normal posts, though.
- [NEW] Also to limit topic saturation, if you have a list of bundle codes for people to grab please limit posting them to thrice per topic.
- Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500.

PRIZES

As in recent contests there will be 10 giftboxes. Each one of these is worth $10, and each will be given to a gifter from the gift list at random. Additionally, 2 gift boxes will be given to the person who'll gift the most stuff and 1 to the second person.

This puts the total prize of the contest at $130.

Additionally, if you have a giftbox remaining from a past contest (listed in the Winners tab) you can claim it at any point.

Prizes can be redeemed for either games, Paypal/Amazon/whatever credit, or kept in the abovementioned tab for when you see something you fancy.

DEADLINE

Deadline for entering the contest is two days before the end of the Steam sales. That will give me enough time to give prizes for cheap, so you guys will get more games.

ARCHIVE

All entries will be kept in a Google Doc: https://bit.ly/2SXilxA

All people who want to help keeping this doc up-to-date are welcome, just PM me your Google account so that I can add you. By default, everyone who helped in the past have been added.

How is he better than Pikachu?


As an old Pika main from Melee... Pika has become too slow nowadays. He had already lost some of the good attacks from 64, but now basically his best attack is dsmash.

Pichu still feels Meleeish, so he still has the speed, the great fsmash and usmash, and I believe the same bair. Plus the power bonus he gets by damaging himself.

Whoever is updating right now...you're on your A game right now, top notch job! Was about to go in and make sure all the wishlists were there but someone already did it.

Also, just remember humble codes are giveaways per entry so I took a couple that someone put for me off.

That was me; I was pretty bored at work. The majority of the day was "Wait for shit to happen."

I thought it was "List the humble codes normally, but on the far right column mark them for the gifter" >_>

Oh...uh...@ArchangelBaruch ? If I got it wrong...whooooopsie.


Hmm, bit of direction may have been useful, yes. I apologize.

My idea was to not list HB gifts to the left, but just to increase the counter each time one is gifted. And then each time it reaches a multiple of 5, to add a "Humble Bundle" entry to the left.

So yeah, the intention of the counter to the right is the code counter for the gifter, not the giftee.

Yup.

If you have the odd code, you can post it whenever. But it's better to avoid the huge codewalls which get quoted and quoted for half the topic.

I'm also handicapped. It's way less serious than what you have, I only have my left leg which doesn't work properly. I get mostly a normal life, but the limitations are there: can't run at all, can only walk for short times, I need a cane with me at all times.

Never been with full blown depression, but had a few tough times. I've gotten over it by finding something I can be good at and for which my handicap doesn't matter at all. In my case, it's working as an engineer: when I'm doing calculations, or designing stuff, it doesn't matter to me nor to others my handicap.

I can't say "go find that thing!" and hope it solves everything, depression doesn't work that way. I can just wish you will have an open mind and not immediately dismiss every new experience in front of you.
