Just a Linux geek with a love for creative, witty, or just plain fun games... when I'm not too busy programming or reading.
After much thought, I finally managed to diagram the thought processes I zip through whenever a game catches my attention online. Who knows. Maybe somebody will find it interesting.
Before anyone flames me, there are two things you should know. First, I'm a full-time Linux user and have been since I was 16 so my requirement for portability and my stance against DRM aren't just some hipster fad.
Second, as evidenced by the part about my having over 100 games I haven't beaten (plus roughly 500 CD-ROMs in boxes in my closet), I can't possibly play all the games I buy. I limit my spending to $5 per game because I believe it's more reasonable to give a little to as many of the games I approve of as possible (whether or not I play it) rather than giving a lot to a handful of them and leaving the rest with nothing.
Finally, it's my damn money and there are tons of developers willing to offer games at $5 each so if you don't like how I spend it, don't try to twist the meaning of the word "entitled" to attack me and defend old 20th century pricing models.
Oh, and sorry about the bad kerning. I didn't have time to get line thickness right, so I took a screenshot rather than exporting the drawing.
The wrongly capitalized "Occasionally" is because I forgot to turn off one of the autocorrect features when manually word-wrapping.
