Bay 12 Games Forum

The start of next year would be great! So would Poland and China... Any kind of card will do, it just needs the text "Greetings from [country]", in print or written.

For a real-life game I'm working on, I'd like all participants to receive a post card from a different country. Most of these are already taken care of, but I'm out of overseas acquaintances and I need at least 2 more cards. So naturally, I thought of you. If you don't mind sending a post card to some random person in Belgium, just reply with your country of residence. I'll then PM you with a destination address.
I have cards from America, Australia, Vietnam, Finland, Namibia, South-Africa and the Netherlands already, so I'd prefer different countries. If I have the luxury of choice, I'll go for the most interesting locations and the more active¹ members, so feel free to post more than 2 offers.
This is of course not a charity, I'll reward the senders with a steam game of around $5, or something similar, of their choosing. That should at least pay back the costs.

¹Please don't take this personal. I'd prefer to give real-life addresses to people I can trust, more or less.

Thorgrim grabs a crossbow - in case something is out of hammer range - and heads down to the engineering deck to start spouting questions.
Thorgrim. New engineer. Nice to meet you. What's the pressure on this thing? Where's your safety valves? 'sthat a full 5 thumb inlet? How much coal does it need? What's that tube for?

Near the harbor, I think east of it, was a park where you could attack squirrels.

Some googling yielded this .

That's the one! My own google-fu proved too weak... Thanks!

Flavor.

I was thinking you meant something like:

  --Will you take me with you -eeeehawww--?
  --I e-eeehaww promiise not to get in the way or be really really annoying-- [lies]!

    Yes
    No

And upon answering no you get some one liner and the question is repeated.

It's funny, because I'll sometimes actually save right before conversations with dialogue options like this, in case I guess the right one by accident. It can be pretty funny sometimes to pick the stupid option and see how they wrote it to keep you from actually choosing it. I remember playing a game where the final boss offers to let you join him at the end, and if you pick "yes" it just gives you a game over. I found it hilarious.

Wasn't this also in one of the Saints Rows?

... I almost always mute the game. No sounds, no music.

I tend to listen to podcasts while playing but rarely with the game absolutely silent.

I often replace the background music (as in, turn it off and play something else). Mostly rock or Radio Nostalgia, depending on game and mood.

I usually play SWAT 4 as pacifist. Only tasers, stun grenades, the pepper ball gun, and lots of intimidating shouts. It's easier than most of the challenges on here I guess, but lots of fun. Rules are simple really, if anyone - swat, suspect, or civilian - gets wounded, the mission fails.

Playing SWAT 4 on Professional, that's the only way to win and progress to the next level. You have to do everything perfect. If you do everything else exactly the way you're supposed to you can afford to let two of your squaddies die (which is inevitable) if you haven't been wounded.

Well, I'm at the Diamond Centre level with straight 100's now. Restarted levels every time I did something wrong. Should check which difficulty I'm playing, I honestly don't know.
And I'm not going to let my squadmates get hit. Unless it's scripted.
