i think its all about how you say something. you can get your point across better if you remain carm and try and articulate into text how your feeling about the subject in hand

i was on a forum a little while ago [the LMZF community] and we where talking about adding a 'like' button and i was only for it if a dislike button was also added, as there is no light without the dark if everyone is happy all the time when this is just the new 'normal'. any way, a dislike button was never added, but i was fine with it as we talked constructively for quite some length no one never once trolling anyone.

this happened on another forum, but, this time i was shot down instantly with a very short sentence from the owner and i felt my view [while being in the minority] didnt matter

i'm woffling sorry

Quoting: UltraVioletseems really good to be able to get the game into your library if its declined, but, hopefully you know the person your buying a gift for and if all would like it or not before you buy it :-)
Actually it won't show up on your library, it will be refunded.
I completely mis-read that bit didn't I :-)

Quoting: UltraVioletdoesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest
I started the game with my Steam Controller switched on and the game seemed to work just fine using it, despite there being no obvious option to select a controller.
no luck for me with a xbox 360 controller plugged in.

how much are steam controllers?
I payed like 46-47 euros for mine on a Steam sale if i recall. Don't remember if i payed shipping also or how much it was.
thanks for the info. i got some birthday money yesterday so i treated myself. looks a interesting controller
