Ok, worth thinking about, so thank you for doing that. I've just seen cases where Europeans miss out due to rules like this.

I don't post gaming memes myself so it won't directly affect me, but how do you count a "Monday" if taking other timezones/countries into consideration? Just curious.

I fucking love those games to death, Thief was so fucking dark and gritty when it first came out and I was so scared when the guards walked past me as I was hiding in the shadows after water arrowing a torch, lol.

And Deus Ex I with it's multiple storylines, choice making and takes on philosophy was mind blowing.

However, they're easy to cheese by modern standards which might be to their detriment when it comes to new players. You can easily blackjack your way through Thief I.

Thief III: Deadly Shadows probably holds up the best gameplay wise, though Thief II has the best storyline imo.

Deus Ex I also has some very unfortunate voice acting choices (incl. white people putting on Asian sounding accents), which I, in the 90s, was ignorant about, but now as an adult it's a cringy struggle to listen to, tbh.

Yep, I'm using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it'll be compatible with beehaw again.

Yeah, this exactly. Use it as an opportunity to realise you're not on the same page as this person and that's fine. Better to be picky, imo. Live your best single life, only choose a partner who chooses all of you too.

I mean, I like doing both lol, but I actually think gaming is more productive as you're at least either engaging in something social, a good narrative, or just fucking having a good time, whereas watching things is more passive (and completely okay to do as well).

A duel to the death, obviously
