Yeah, what's up with the deadline? Considering you ain't using it for anything important, or anything that requires that it be done soon, I find it odd that you'd give him such a close deadline.
A comment by Aaron on Steam just notified me that Steam lets everyone know which new games you get. A friend of mine joke-gifted me a dating sim and I didn't know it would publicly announce it to everyone so I accepted it because declining would be rude.
The flashbacks were more to do with my time as a Kingsguard - that corrupt organization that struck me down when I refused to mistreat the peasantry and the misbehaving nobles of the glorious House of Preciprick. Good riddance to the land where cursing gets you beheaded banned.
