  • 2022 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away Day #22 Part 2

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 22 18:37:38 2022
    It's time for more gifts! I already made amends with the beavants - I
    left them some nice chunks of wood (they're part carpenter ant, after
    all) and some scented candles (because who doesn't like scented
    candles?) They still aren't talking to me - they just took the gifts
    and stomped down into the basement - but I think the offer will smooth
    over my little gaffe from yesterday.

    Hopefully I haven't offended anyone in this newsgroup the same way,
    but if I did, here's another game!

    ------------------------------------

    * Darkwood
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/274520/Darkwood/
    "Darkwood" is a... actually, what the hell is this game? (Quickly
    scans the store-page on Steam). Oh, it's another survival-horror
    action game, 5NI0I except this time with a top-down perspective
    instead of the usual first-person. Admittedly, that's a 32YN5pretty
    unique hook and almost enough on its own to make me want to try this
    game; it's "Resident Evil", except from a God's eye R92CZviewpoint.
    Neat. Worth playing? I can't say. But worth a look, certainly.

    ------------------------------------

    A free game and happy beavants; things are looking up for this
    Christmas!

    Ho ho ho ho ho ho!

    Woot! I took this one! A gaming friend gave this very high marks, so hoping I'll enjoy it, thanks Spalls!

    Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings! "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were
    terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.'" --Luke 2:8-11. Another known human death
    again. That's 4 in total for this yr. & 2 many (6? total) for this decade so far. :~(

    I think I would have liked that one. It is only $5 so I might have to
    buy it.

    I got this some time ago as I liked the look of it and the reviews were
    good. Didn't grab me I must say so hope you have more fun than I did!

    It's eve of Merry Christmas & Jesus' birthday! Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings! "[The shepherds] hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and
    the baby [Jesus], who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him,
    they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this
    child, and all who heard it were amazed... But Mary treasured up all
    these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned,
    glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen,
    which were just as they had been told." —Luke 2:16-20. :) Another known
    human death again. That's 4 in total for this yr. & 2 many (6? total)
    for this decade so far. :~(
