Is there anything on that steam summer games thing stopping me from just sorta.... idling on the planet for a high chance of winning the games?

[Rolan7]

I got logged out of Bay12 on all devices, and my unread topics were marked as read.  Not a problem, just curious whether it happened to anyone else.

I was researching a guy on Reddit who kept making posts promoting his game and then deleting the post once it got any amount of slightly negative attention. That's not the WTF. It's weird but it happens.

The real WTF is the sentence I had to write when summarizing one of his threads.

Wherein the creator thanks himself for complimenting him on his own game in a post on a sub that both of them moderate, removing comments that point this out

The guy whose comments were deleted is not me, but he is how I noticed a bit of a pattern of the creator interacting with his own alt.

That happened to me once too. I figured either the cookies expired or my browser decided to delete them.

Aligned myself with a team in the Steam "Saliens" event and suddenly the enemies are on speed.

Now it's harder for me to gain exp, and I can't even ditch the team.

Had a constant smell/taste of smoke in my sinuses all day. It's very irritating.

Erm... Editors. Dutch word 'redactie'

I thought that might have been the case. Makes a lot more sense than a whole office block housing just the redactions department, hehe.
Still exciting, though!


My wtf: not sure if I can be bothered looking through the conspiracy thread to see what happened. I think I shall just assume the combined minds of Bay12 came too close to some dark truth or other and were swiftly shut down by a shady international organisation.
I'm glad I had the sense to stay away.

Seems like it resulted from one person who was diving too deep and was an actual serious conspiracy theorist and it just got too serious for peoples and hanslandas liking.

More like a poster who appears to be suffering from schizophrenia started posting about his persecutory delusions. There is really no right way to deal with such issues on a forum, so I think the OP made the right call.

Yeah poor guy must be having a bad time.
Thanks for the max potions and the great balls Rolan7

This, yeah. I tried to help, but there's not much to be done, frankly.

This.  This is not the right place for therapy and feeding his delusions is even worse.

Oh FFS. I had just typed out a whole, almost-complete sheet+bio that I was really pleased with for an RTD, when I realised I'd been typing it in a new reply (from quoting the OP for the character sheet) instead of editing my reserve post.
No problem, I'll just copy the text, go back and paste it into the first message. But for some reason, the keyboard I was until recently using had the copy and paste buttons right next to each other. Oops, well, no biggie, I'll just-- wait. What. Where is the undo button? *frantic clicking* Oh my fucking gods. Are you serious? There isn't one. My keyboard does not have a fucking undo button. Did this product have no bloody QA whatsoever?! It's a fairly well-known, popular app, too!

I am honestly distraught. I was really stoked with what I'd written and now as always, I know if I try and replicate it it will no doubt come out as utter shit by comparison.
Besides, my present mood is now more suited for activities other than creative writing, such as, oh, I don't know, smashing my fucking phone against my skull until one or the other or preferably both of them break and oh fuck I am so angry I feel like I'm gonna give myself an aneurysm or some shit cunt fuck.


Anyone know any good android keyboards that won't make taking up self-immolation seem like a good idea?
Edit: or any stress-relief suggestions to help me calm tf down and attempt to get back into the right frame of mind for writing? Hell, even some vague commiseration would probably go a long way.

You could try debating. Maybe even debating many people at the same time. You'd be mass debating.

[NJW2000]

That really sucks, losing writing. Total "man from Porlock" thing. Possibly an even closer analogy than most people, if you catch my drift heh heh...

Trying to write the same thing again won't be fun. You gotta use this as an opportunity to think about how you could have gone about writing something one better, and then try to do that.
