Note to self: start gaming under sourcemage. (Although, truth be told, installing sourcemage IS a video game.)

8 Nov 2015 at 2:26 pm UTC

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Free Weekend & XCOM 2 Available For Pre-Order For Day-1 Release

Quoting: kingofrodeoI never pre-order, ever. There's no reason to, I can only play the game the day it comes out so what's the point?
I like to pre-order on (semi-)rare occasions, to show my appreciation to developers for making games I love, despite the very small market share my preferred genres and OS have.

I believe it to be kind of similar to donating (time and/or money) to open source projects, if it can make someone's day a little better, then that's worth whatever the cost.

GTA V doesn't affect my usage at all, Pillars of Eternity got me gaming natively for a little bit, but in the end I keep going back to wine for good old Dark Souls.
