    This whole puzzle reminds me a lot of the game Lifeline... https://bigfishgames.com/daily/3mingames/lifeline/games

    This seems neat!

    hey question for all of you stalking various peoples, someone must know something.

    My GF really wants a game we can play together on the same couch/screen/game/system. I have a PS4. So far I'm feeling like my best option for PS4 co-op is "fuck it, buy a switch."

    There has to be things though right? something exists, I just don't know what.

    She was not a game person at all until we lived together, but since then has really gone deep in some of the PS+ indie titles. She just beat fez, stories, tales from the borderlands, is playing through life is strange, and has put some time into most of the free games each month except ones that are scary/horror genres- she doesn't do horror.

    I feel like she'd be generally open to most things we could play together though.

    Diablo 3 is a surprisingly good console and same screen game. Stuffed full of content too.

    Also gah, this is the first year of missing Secret Santa since I joined the forums and I totally wish I signed up! Ah well, next year's santee will get an extra helping of cheer to make up for it.

    Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime is probably the #1 answer. Just a fantastic game.
    Otherwise, sadly, I'm bad at PS4 because I don't have one.

    You were very fun to Santa for last year. Sorry, man. :(

    Stuff my wife and I play or have played together on PS4:
    Borderlands Handsome Collection
    Broforce
    Diablo III
    Gauntlet
    Guacamelee
    Helldivers
    Jamestown+
    LEGO <whatever> (we're working through Harry Potter Years 5-7 currently)
    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance / M:UA 2
    Overcooked
    Rayman Legends
    Tiny Brains

    The only one that I can't really recommend is Tiny Brains. The concept was good, but some of the puzzles felt like the answer was "flail around and hope." Also, Overcooked is a damn masterpiece and more people need to love it. It's a travesty that it doesn't have a platinum to go along with all that stress.

    I came home after some Korean BBQ, and found an Amazon box at my door.
    Wondering which of the 6 things I ordered yesterday for my holiday shopping, I discreetly, lest it's a gift for my GF who might see it, opened it to find....
    A special edition The Name of the Wind!
    IMG_20171125_132722.jpg

    It's got red pages, and pictures and stuff!
    IMG_20171125_133036.jpg

    I have not heard of this book, but it looks awesome. Also Lin-Manuel Miranda liked it, so it must be good.

    Also, Riddler Santa told me to send them the code on the packaging label and "we will begin round 2."

    Thank you so far, mysterious Santa! You've kept me plenty occupied so far :)

    Dearest holiday devil,

    I have been out and about visiting family and should be returning home this evening. If a thing has arrived, fret not! I have not forgotten to acknowledge it. I just uh don't know it exists!

    So yeah if a thing is inbound I guess lemme know so I can check with neighbors or whatever. That goes for whenever. We never had a package stolen before but I'm a worrier.

    I'm assuming that's either a liquor or you bought a lot of land.

    I decided to make a stained glass ghost sun catcher check out the link to the WIP pics below.

    If all goes well it should be shipped out in the next two weeks ^_^ I have some other fun surprises to throw in as well!

    That's awesome!
    Doing stained glass is something I want to get into (but need to finish getting into all the other hobbies I've been into)! I've been working on something similarly themed: linky

    Yours is turning out SOO GOOD! I am super jelly of whom ever is getting that!

    Don't read the book, you'll get hooked on the series then disapointed as the new book still hasn't come out after GRR Martin number of years.

    Except it's still amazing. Now I need to go listen to it again. I've avoided the second book though until I hear a release date for the third.

    Poor Pat's been hounded, he kinda went off script for a bit during a pax panel.

    I picked that book up recently, realized around 11pm a few days later that I had only pages left, and stopped reading to go order book two off Amazon. Also, The Slow Regard of Silent Things, which I haven't started reading yet.
