POLL RESULTS

Thanks to Fedule for the title idea!

There's so much negativity in the world lately, so why not spend some time being nice to others instead?

For this contest, post an update in this thread where you act nice in a game. Simple as that! Of course, how you perform your good deeds is up to you, whether you want to show off and talk about an instance where a character does something nice, or you yourself do something nice to some NPCs or even other players, or some other great concept I can't think of.

  • Both video and screenshot updates are valid, though if you're doing the latter please make sure to post your update in the test poster and link it here.

  • You have until end of day on February 21 to submit an entry.

  • From February 22 to the 28th, we'll hold a week-long vote for best update. The winner gets a forum upgrade of their choice! (Platinum, Archives, New Avatar)

  • A second, separate winner chosen by Fedule and myself will also get a forum upgrade of their choice!

I wish you all the best!

Sure.

This is what happens when I play Battlefield 1 as a conscientious objector.

I was meaning to do this for my Let's Play of the game, thankfully there was a blizzard today and I found the time to do this.

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.


You know what's nice? Reuniting elderly people, helping people let go of horrible relationships, and the vocal work of Jim Cummings and John Rhys-Davies

Potentially :nws: nothing explicit of course but from 12 minutes on there is a character wearing only strategically placed hair.

There are people who are not content with merely hiding games. They need to remove them from their library. Why? I dunno, maybe they are embarrassed to possess a specific game or something. Bunch of weirdos. It's not like a game will kill you in your sleep if you have it in your library. Except maybe Hatred.

I wish I was weird enough to save the post but there was a guy in the steam thread once who got very mad about not being able to remove games from his library. I like to imagine that they implemented that feature just for him. Because you couldn't do that a while ago.

You can hide games? How? I have to move them to a "poo poo I won't ever play" category.

from your Library, right-click the game you are interested in hiding from the list of games. select the "Set Categories..." option. there will be a "Hide this game from my library" option. you can see hidden games by clicking the LIBRARY button at the top of the screen and selecting HIDDEN at the bottom of the drop-down menu.

that's it!

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Remember that there was a time you could gift people games and they couldn't not accept them.

...so it just moves the games into a more visible place. I think I'll stay with the shittegory then.

But seriously, no. It's less visible than a shittegory. There just happens to still be a way to find them after you've hidden them--as opposed to completely removing them from your account.

Anyway, we've got a nice solid ten submissions! Voting will occur until :siren: the evening of February 28 :siren: (probably around 8pm EST). After that, we'll have our popular vote winner, and Fedule and I will reveal our pick to win!

Good luck to all our entrants!

It'll probably take another day to discuss Mod Choice Winner with Fedule. I'll announce that once we pick somebody.

I actually hosed myself over and voted for HerpicleOmnicron5 because I love high concept stuff like the Hatred video.

If we aren't going to do a friendly-off to decide a single winner I will totally take Archives.
