This one time I got a free game, installed it, ran it, set up all of the video options and keybinds, then immediately exited and uninstalled it without hitting "start campaign".

I view this as analogous to the creation and destruction of a Sand Mandala.

It's called Gamer Culture, sweaty, you probably wouldn't understand.

A German couple wanted to name their child "Gift" because of the English meaning of the word.

Thankfully a court blocked it.

It's so wild to me that other countries have laws about what you can name your child. Like, in America there's nothing to stop a couple from literally naming their child "Poison" and I think that's fine.

So this strikes me as a list that is reactive rather than proactive, so someone had to attempt this before some court put its foot down. I would like to meet them.

Yes, you have to 'claim' a game to your account for this to happen, so if you used the tampermonkey script that dumps all 1000 items to your account, well.

Good game, but it's one of those that has 'taking the piss' levels of DLC and I refuse to pay for it.

For context, In Sound Mind is a first person shooter/haunted house from the creators of one of the more notable Source mod haunted houses, Nightmare House. I haven't seen a ton of it, but it seems to be good at what it is. (ie, Source Engine haunted house/horror).

Demon's Tilt is exactly what it looks like. An occult-themed pinball game. It's cool, make sure you grab it next week.
