        I mean I do joke the gifts are to buy her love because I still don’t get what she sees in me. (In private while joking, I don’t want people to think I’ve got that “boomer” mindset).

        But yeah, she snagged my mechanical keyboard because “I like the click clack” so I got her psyduck keycaps.

          Don’t be too worried about that. About half the boomers in my office don’t wash their fucking hands after using the bathrooms, even the stalls. Just practice some basic hygiene

          I honestly don’t get how those manchildren found someone willing to put up with their shit enough to marry them.

    Why are there games in the sale that aren’t even released? I mean, nice to bring the spotlight on them but I was a bit disappointed when I noticed too late.

      It isn’t a sale, it’s an event:

      Oh yeah, there is a good handful of demos that are listed. Possibly the money spent on pre-orders would really help those indie studios to finish the game? Hm.

        Could you edit the title so people don’t think that it is a sale, they list it as an event

        Nah, I meant Ruffed up, if you scroll to the bottom and look at all games its in there. No demo, not available. I wishlisted it now but I don’t get why it is shown in the first place at a sale event. There was another game where it is the same.
